What am I gaining If I use An rx580 over a Gtx 1060 In a Build

[Agent Teto (offline for good)]

Recently I have been on Pc part picker creating little builds for just over 1000 Us Dollars, And it came to my mind that the Rx 580 has a lot of Vram
*I think about the same as the base 1080.*

But I'll be honest, I am not a great person When It comes to computers or knowing what vram really does,All I know Is that If It runs, then play It .

*Same goes for me right now with me not having a gaming pc at the moment So I'm stuck back on my Intel celeron n2830 with the amazing Intel hd Graphics which really compare to those old graphic accerators that they had In older netbooks*

But If I were to build a gaming rig with a Rx 580 over a 1060, what would I gain out of It, other then the higher vram.

i think i'll use freesync more then anything but the only monitor i have is a 1336x768 monitor that supports vga, because my gaming pc i had was using a gts 250.

You need FreeSync monitor to be able to use FreeSync. It won't work just in any monitor.

of course i'd need to buy a new monitor anyway

AMD has Enhanced Sync and Nvidia has Fast Sync as alternatives if your monitor doesn't support Freesync/Gsync.

Buy a RX 580 4GB, it's the best bang for your buck.
Anything higher than 4GB VRAM is useless.
That GPU wasn't meant for ultra settings, if you want ultra set 1280x720p with FXAA.
1920x1080p CMAA high should be fine with all games (60+fps).
Also AMD has better freesync.

Why Freesync is better in your opinion?

Because he doesn't need to pay Nvidia 200 bucks more for a monitor.

As to RE: Monitors: Something they folks here are trying to say but aren't going in to detail is the differences in the technology.

Freesync monitors do not require any extra hardware on the part of the manufacturers. Just some software loaded inside the monitor's firmware. With nvidia option for Nvidia Gsync, the monitor manufacturers have to both buy and physically install a second PCB/Circuit board inside the monitor that connects to the main one, and that's what operates G-Sync. Due to the extra cost both for the parts, and the R&D to design and implement a monitor with this extra board inside, and they pass these costs on to the consumer. As a result, all G-Sync monitors cost more to buy as a consumer than a comparatively spec'd freesync monitor. The difference sometimes can be +$200 more for a similarly spec'd gsync panel vs a freesync one, depending on what monitor specs you're aiming for.

Both gpu's should be within +/- $30 of each other as the initial cost, but the "Nvidia Tax" as it's called for a Gsync monitor is something you should consider in your "overall total system design".

Also I would suggest you stick to a monitor below / less than 100hz. Neither of these cards is fast enough to drive a 144hz panel, so there's no point in buying one if you're using these cards as your main gpu, it would just be a waste.

Depending on the games very little difference either way ^.

I had both and sold the GTX1060 off and kept the Rx 580 8GB

Rx 580 does better there ^^^, but in GTA 5 and GR:W a GTX1060 would have the slight edge so it depends on the games you play.


Soooooo I got a GTX1070 and moved the Rx 580 to the spare rig for now the GTX1070 runs about %25+ better than either Rx 580/GTX1060.

Ps, I don't care about freesync / nvidia whatever sync, I mostly care if my games run smooth at high enough quality for my tastes..

Thanks, i look into it later.

Yea, i'm not going for 144hz or anything like that, i just want something that can display a screen, but i would not mind a monitor with 60hz hdr but that might be a bit more expensive, as the regards on G-sync, I dont think i would put the money into getting a monitor for it
