replace a GTX 760

[InfinityJosh]

A guy made a good offer for my ancient GTX 760 MSI GAMING 2GB, he needs it for the end of month, I actually have a i7 4771 as a CPU, I actually play DOOM, Duke Nukem Forever and Age of Empires 3 frequently, looking for GTA v and new games for 60fps stable (high not v high or ultra, fxaa as AA) so I'm not sure what GPU purchase between rx470 4gb now or waiting for price reduction on GTX 1060 in few months (1/2) and still use integrated GPU for age of Empires 3 .

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Whats your budget? Just go for 1060 6GB or 1070; anything less is rubbish.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

Doubtful there will be price reduction for GTX 1060, it's still relatively new card.
RX 480 8 Gb is somewhat cheaper then GTX 1060 6 Gb:

I agree with these 2 guys

I just got a 1060 6gb it's beautiful I upgraded from a 660 huge difference. But like the other dude said the RX 480 is a bit cheaper.

RX 480 is cheaper, has 2 more GB of VRAM (Futureproof), has better Vulkan support (DOOM, Tomb Raider, and BF1 run better on an RX 480 than a GTX 1060) and has slightly more texture units. The only downside is the marginally slower clockspeed. If you MUST get an under $300 GPU, it's a better option than the GTX 1060.

If you can go above $300, get a GTX 1070. It's currently the best gaming GPU, since the 1080 is overkill for simply gaming.

Also why Duke Nukem Forever?

8GB from 6GB is NOT Futureproof

Please stop giving such idiotic inaccurate information

The 1060 6GB and RX480 Are SIMILAR in performance more than you think
and thats ONLY because of AMDs recent drivers offering a small increase in performance.

If youd actually do your research, the 1060 in many games beat the RX480 regardless of the FPS difference.

This isnt to say that the RX480 sucks, it doesnt
But people giving such bs information really deserve to be smacked

And as shown here
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_1080_aorus_xtreme_review,14.html

89 FPS on the 480 compared to the GTX 1060s 87 FPS is NOT something thats worth bragging about. This is Ultra Quality DX12 @ 1920x1080

And as this is a recent review up to date that using somewhat current drivers for NVIDIA and AMD
Pay no mind to it being a GTX 1080 review, the point is the comparison graph
And even then FPS will vary from system to system.

IIRC, 480 runs rather sluggish with GTA V (otherwise great card).
If you don't want too spend too much, a used 970 or 980 is always an Option.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yea 6GB vs 8GB really is not a huge deal; either is good amount for Ultra settings these days.
Overall, both 480 and 1060 are really only good for maybe 1080p/High-Ultra/60 FPS; and thats where their goodness kinda ends; 1440p then you want a 1070 or 1080, quite easily, and that is where the 8GB VRAM comes in handy, or for SLI.

Now on the plus side, you can CFX a 480; you can't SLI any 1050/1060 series GPU, sadly.

[just.kamk /idle]

True, and no higher end chipset needed for CX.
Still, single 480 vs. your 760 is a major upgrade already.

Well RX 470 4gb g1 is $180.00
RX480 msi gaming 4GB is $210.00,
the cheapest 1060 6GB is $248.00 (EVGA mini ATX),
gigabyte windforce $269.00,
MSI gaming $297.00
MSI armor $264.00

I thinked Rx 470 is a best buy for its price and also g1 gigabyte I think is reliable, on 1060 not sure to trust mini,microarchitecture evga, or others, I like the gaming but is expensive, much money difference between all.

Rx 480 Armor $219 ^ $210 after mir.

480 8GB Red devil is also $219

You're better off splurging or biting the bullet and get the rx480 8GB $219, the rx470 is a fair drop in performance from the rx480.

With the 480 you instantly gain mid+ tier GPU, kinda like AMDs version of a 970. Grab the 8gb version for better future proofing (or 1060 6gb ofc).

You got such a nice CPU, give it a decent GPU Buddy to play with, imho.

Duke Nukem Forever yes I'm sick lol, I played more hours than actual Duke Nukem Forever hours on N&$ version and it explains all. XD

Prices for cards like RX470, RX480, GTX1060 won't be going down since these are some of the top sellers in current generation of cards. So you can be sure that price reduction won't be happening anytime sooner. No point in waiting.

Considering all things such as DX12, Vulkan, FreeSync, CrossFire, higher VRAM -- I'd say the RX480 is hands down the better choice right now for a mid-high tier gaming.
