gtx 1060 3 gig vis rx 570 4 gig?

[Shea]

Which would be best for this game?

[CrazyUncleSteve]

Why would you even consider a 1060 with only 3GB?

I have a 1060 (6GB) and it runs like a champ.

[Zombie101]

depending on the prices your looking at I say RX 580 8g be a better deal Or a RX 590 on newegg for $240 or a rx 580 8 gig for under $200 on sale for 10 hrs.

The GTX 1060 be more powerful card vs RX 570 I would know do I own a Rx 480.

The cheapo version of the 1060 has not just much less memory but slower.
It should be shunned.

I have a rx 480 and that is more powerful than the 1060 on most things. So yes id recommend the rx card over the 1060.

I'd never recommend an AMD card over an NVidia card, but to each their own. NVidia drivers and software is usually quite a bit more robust. Over the last ~20 years I've flip-flopped back and forth, and finally in the last ~6 years I settled on NVidia. The extra cost is worth it, for a reason.

Having said that - if your main reason for getting a GPU replacement is to play X4, understand that 3GB isn't enough to run the game without UI problems. 4GB of vRAM is the true trouble-free minimum.

nVidia needs a kick in the rear right now. I can't justify what they're doing right now and mocking AMD currently. My 1070 is probably the last nVidia card I'll purchase for a while as I wait and see what the new Radeon VII can do.

Also, at least in my experience recently, nVidia is getting sloppy with driver updates. I've had varying degree of issues lately that even clean installing won't fix. But why would they care when they're the only GPU on the market...

I have an RX570 8gb and it runs X4 on ultra.

What is your processor? Intel or AMD?

[DrSuperGood]

If wanting NVidia either pickup a GTX 1060 6GB model or wait until next month and pickup a 1660 Ti or similar. I would advise against a 3GB video card, especially for X4 as video memory is about the only thing the game cares about other than Vulkan support which all modern cards have. For example I run off a GTX 760 with 4GB perfectly, and higher power cards with less memory have been known to run into graphical glitches.

If those cards are the only choice than one might have to go with the AMD purely due to more video memory.

Same I have flipped back and forth the last 15 years, but have never had issues with AMD. So yes to each their own. AMD uses a new software suite now that is on par with Nvidias imho. And I had a nvidia card before I got this rx card a couple of years ago, but upgraded as the rx480 has 8gb of vram compared to the 4 I was working with(it was a gtx770 so old). It runs this game on high settings at 60fps pretty easily.

I got a 6 GB 1060 to replace my 960 with 2 GB. It sure made a huge difference. Not in terms of FPS, but mainly in terms of being able to play the game without graphical glitches. I would stay well above the 3 GB minimum in order to avoid these glitches.
