Hey, I just sold my 12 month old Zotac GTX 960 the past week for around $155 here where I live in Asia.

Then I am now looking for a good Graphics card for my 1080p resolution monitor. Here is the thing. I cannot choose if I should get the XFX RX 480 ($293) 8gb (blower fan) or the Zotac GTX 1060 AMP Edition ($297). The prices are really identical here, where I live. The 1060 Amp Edition is like $4.0 more expensive than the RX 480. YEP, YOU READ IT RIGHT, FOUR DOLLAR DIFFERENCE. The RX 480 prices are jacked up to almost $300.

So, was wondering what is really the better choice and can i have some opinions?
Considering that Vulkan and DX12 is right beside the corner, Im considering the RX 480.
