1060 now vs Vega 56 later

>I'm in a predicament,
No you're not. Just kys you dumb fucking gaymer retard.

Get the 1060.
The 56 is decent, but miners are buying them.

I'm kind of just thinking I could resell this 1060 later for an AIB Vega 56

I guarantee you that you'll be able to find 1060s (with a 15-20% mark up) much easier than you would any other mid-level GPU. Maybe there's a flood of Vega 56s ready to hit the streets, but I have a feeling that they're going to be very hard to come by. So for sake of ease, 1060.

Also given that lineup of games, you don't need a Vega. Honestly. And if you decide to splurge, do yourself a favor and wait for partner cards.

Might be worth mentioning that some of the numbers on Vega's power draw might be inflated or works in progress, but I don't think anyone would disagree that the 1060 is going to be far less power hungry.

welp I didn't think this day would come when I would actually buy an nvidia card

I feel dirty

You better cancel that order.

Why?

whatever, I did and got MSI instead, I prefer MSI over ASUS GPUs anyways

>>61913170
I'd get the 1060. I saw a few threads mentioning Vega 56 slower than 1060 AIO OC cards.

>>61913170
300 burgershekels for a 1060 is insane, way too overpriced
Get a Vega 56 before miners get them

>>61914680
Vega 56 outperforms the 1070 by a decent amount

>>61915791
Yeah but it's $99 less

again, I'm only playing Overwatch and CIv VI basically

worth $99 for more performance and a card that will probably be a bit loud?

>>61915801
my impression is that it's about 10% faster. that sort of performance difference is negligible if you're upgrading from an old video card

>>61915822
I mean also freesync, which I do have the monitor for, but idk

I may be pulling the trigger too early

>>61913170
>unstable R7 260x
Let me guess.. random 100ºC temps and poor performance?

>>61915853
no, it runs pretty cool and well for a 260x

It's just not a good performing card in general and it's like 4 years old now and even new it had stability issues

Seriously I found out after 5 years that AMd Sucks gfx wise. Crossfire 6950 to r9 390. I hate having such a lame performing product. I had the same issue with apple products. A lot under the hood but never really put to use. All this wait wait wait it's not worth it.

>tfw all my desktops are Intel+AMD or AMD+nVidia

>>61916030
cause graphic stuff is all about the software to run it on

AMD and ATi cards are almost always better hardware

but nvidia has better software

why you see AMD pull ahead in synthetic stuff

for me, I don't really care about getting the absolute high end so it's never been a problem

had a Radeon HD 4850, R9 280X, R7 260X

>>61916089
Very true. Hardware is specs is a big lure to buyers. I fall for it all the time but in practice it's a whole different story.

>>61913170
> 1060
> Vega 56
Vega 56. Or 1070.

>>61915825
As you will see once overclocking reviews of Vega 56 come out, if you OC Vega 56's memory to ~945mhz it will pretty much tie Vega 64 Air in every benchmark. Thatmeans it will easily trade blows with a 1080 FE, and is well past 1070 performance.

Vega is very good for compute tasks.

get vega 56

>>61916312
Don't kid your self. Paying a premium this day in age to watch a task bar move quicker is not why I would buy a gfx card.

just buy a 1050ti and call it a day

Not just compute. Vega is also very good at geometry when not bandwidth bottlenecked.

>>61913352
>MSI
You should cancel desu...

im in a worse situation i got a oldass i5 4690 system AND a 390x

it all works fine its just slow in newer games like PUBG and shit

Thinking of a staggered upgrade to a 1800 and a vega 64

OP is a fucking retard, can't wait just a little bit to spend an extra 100 dollars, and wasted about that much by not being able to use freesync. Kys I hope you never reproduce.

>Anime
Hi
Go to hell

>>61916691
get a 1700 or 1700x same chip, similar game performance, same performance on OC

>>61916730
I cancelled my 1060 order, but paying $100 more is still paying $100 more. calm yourself

>>61916783
there's a AMD mascot's anime now?

in Japan, it has for a while

>>61916824
im just waiting for a aftermarket vega 64

if i get a high clocker i could get near 1080 oc 1080ti stock levels if i water cool it

>>61915822
If that's all you play just get an rx 460, they aren't sold out mostly because miners don't buy them as much, try and get a 2gb vram one for a 100 bucks or maybe 110, that should do you well until miners stop fucking everything up.
$300 for a 1060 is borderline criminal, you're overspending 100 bucks.
