GTX 1060 6gb vs RX 580?

[J Charcole]

Both are the same price in my country literally the same price so which one is the besT?

I know it will depend on the games both are good and can deliver good fps but i just want to know xD

so you saying that 1060 performance's will be slower from time to time?

There is supposedly going to be an 1160, a version without raytracing that will be cheaper.

All PC components become less useful over time as software demands higher performance. You won't be able to play the latest games on a 1060 6GB at all within 2~4 years depending on the GPU requirements.

oohh thanks btw i still can't decide if i should get 1060 or rx 580 xD because of this benchmark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIoyn-_m89Q&t=730s

1060 6gb is better, lower temps, higher efficiency and many more optimized games.

but why every youtube benchmark videos the rx 580 is faster than 1060 6gb and better

not true you can tip the scales on these" tests" to go the way you want with game choice and other factors.benchmark test are not real world scenerios.the real test is in running the games.

its really about what you preffer me im nvidia all the way.and i agree with escorve 6GB will be problematic in a year or 2 for new AAA..best to spend a few more dollars and bump it up to 8GB if possible a 1080 or a 8GB AMD

Radeon is always faster on paper, but when it comes to games, they are either equal or the Geforce pulls slightly ahead.
Unless the 580 is noticably cheaper, I would go Geforce - less energy spent, less heat, better resell value after several years.

Realistically, the price difference for running the 1060 6gb vs RX 580 would be literally nothing.
A couple of quid a year maybe.
You use more electric on lightbulbs than you do powering a GPU, so it's not really an issue in any case, unless you were the poorest person ever, but then you wouldn't be buying a new PC if you had to worry about electric prices.

The heat difference really isn't that much either. A couple of degrees. Providing both have the stock (blower) cooler.
And if you get an aftermarket cooler design, then it's really not going to matter, because it'll keep it cool enough either way.

Resell value doesn't really matter if the card is 3+ years old, it's going to be sub 100 pound anyway.

The RX 580 may be a good card, but it's going to be nearing the limits of what it can do before it uses up 8gb of VRAM.
So it doesn't really matter. Even at 1440p.


@OP, honestly just get which is cheapest, there isn't a really big difference between them. ~10FPS isn't going to matter in most cases, and if you're playing FPS games, then you're not going to run max settings, so you'll be getting 100+ in most cases anyway.

Cheapest or ''looks coolest.'' Unless you care about performance, then I'd reccomend you save up for a 1070/ti, at 1080p, it's way overkill and should push 1080p144fps in almost every game. (Minus all the useless ♥♥♥♥ like motionblur and depth of field.)

What i mean benchmark videos is the games that they play. im not talking about the 3d mark or adobe

I think i will just get 1060 6gb btw any concerns or suggestion or any side comments? please i really want that. I want the realtak xD

If you're set on the 1060 6gb, just get a decent one.
Not Asus Dual or MSI Armor, or any form of blower, or anything from Palit (exept maybe their Jetstreams, iirc they're ''decent''); they're all trash coolers.

wdym xD there are Zotac Mini, Palit Super Jetstream, INNO3D, GALAX OC, GALAX EXOC White. and the expensive 1060 brands MSI Gaming X, Asus ROG Strix, Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC.

Zotac Mini is trash.
Inno3d, everything I've seen from them has been pretty bad, while their tripple fan may perform good, their customer support is GARBAGE, and cards haven't had the best reliablity from what I've seen.

Palit Jetstream, Galaxs stuff, MSI gaming X, Asus ROG Strix, and EVGA are all good cards.
I do reccomend the MSI Gaming X though, and the EVGA FTW.

The cooler is trash too. It was ok, but they removed 3 heatpipes with v2 and they use fake/knockoff components.

Oh really? LMAO.

I think i must get the Palit Jetstream or the GALAX stuffs xD

The only games where the 580 is faster are the ones using Vulkan API, wich aren't many and isn't worth it.

I have a Zotac AMP 6GB and i have to say the cooler works pretty good, but i agree on Zotac Mini (or any other mini GPU) being trash when you can get a full one.
Avoid Palit, but GALAX is pretty good too, if you wanna go a bit overkill get an Asus Strix Gaming GPU, these have pretty good coolers but cost more.
