GTX 1060 6GB or RX 480/570 8GB?

[PATENT]

Which one of these should I get? Im only considering MSI Gaming versions, already saying 1070 is out of my budget so don't even recommend it. I want a card that will easily run games on high settings in 1080p/60fps for alteast 2 next years but I'm not sure if I should go for the 1060 wich has obviously good performance in every game or go for the RX 480/570 which might beat 1060 in DX12 and Vulkan obviously however after seeing their performance in DX11 and games like GTA5 or BF4 which is worse than refference 970 I'm not sure if it's worth the risk. Your opinion?

Both will do fine, but would go with the 1060, if msi skip the basic line and buy the gaming xyz or so.

What about the rest of your rig?

7700K
16GB 2666MHz
Z270 Gaming M3
and yes I'm going right for the gaming one, I love that design and overall it's quiet and cool card

I think rx 570 8gb :D

It's a tough call ^ but for long term I'd sway to the Rx 580 8GB.

I have the MSI Armor versions of GTX 1070 and Rx 580 8GB and had the GTX1060 6GB evga sc.

i would prefer the 8gb and so i would buy the 580.

IMO 80-90$ more isn't worth the additional 10% more fps that RX 580 gives. I mean I can afford 4GB version but if I'm going for the RX 8GB is minimum for me

yep only 4GB version or 8GB versions after mining :/

I forgot to mention, I'm considering the AMD cards because I have freesync monitor, otherwise I would go straight for GTX 1060

I'd steer away from the Rx 570 4GB or 8GB.

Maybe wait for a bit longer and prices may drop.

I can use 4.6GB vram in GR:W with mixed ultra/high 1080p.

It's your money and your choice if you want an Rx 570 8GB go for it..

570 to 580 is a %20 spread there ^.

Last food for thought the 570 to gtx1070 is approx. %40+ spread

Okay I watched some benchmarks and RX 480 outperforms RX 570 in every single game
So now I don't know if go for the 1060 6GB or RX 480 8GB. I would have to pay like 20$ more for the 1060 (we're talking about used cards with warranty of course). 1060 performs overall better, stays cooler however RX is up to 25% faster in Vulkan and DX12 optimized games, also it has async compute which nvidia lacks and this additional 2GB of VRAM + as I said I have freesync monitor... Hard decision...

RX 570 is just renamed RX 470. RX 580 is renamed RX 480.

Also, the 2Gb more VRAM doesn't matter as it's not powerful enough to run anything that would require that much VRAM. Async Compute is still not used in anything either.

So they have the FreeSync as the only pro.

not really... 500 series runs cooler, are higher clocked and performs 10% faster than predecessors... However as I said 580 8GB is out of my range, same as 1070

What about freesync? Does it makes 50fps look like 60fps or it only removes tearing without locking frames?

This is because they simply lowered the voltage and then overclocked them.
They are the same Polaris chip otherwise.

This is because they simply undervolted the gpus and overclocked them.

So grab 1060 msi gaming for this 20$ more over rx 480?

That is the only thing AMD has going for it. And no, it won't make 50 look 60. It just locks the frames to something stable.

So 1060 is the better choice?

For just 20$ more, yeah.
