So my Sapphire Dual X R9 280 3gb has served me well but I would like to upgrade to something more energy efficient, faster and quiet(a less lengthy card would also be a benefit because of my small case).
With the new cards that are out by AMD and Nvidia, would a RX480(70) or a GTX 1060 net me a decent bump in performance? It seems like the energy efficiency is there. I'm really looking for the best bang for my buck. I currently game at 1080p, I may in the future be interested in buying a faster refresh monitor (current is 60hz). Definitely looking for the best bang for my buck, also I need a card that is less than 10" long.
Cards I've been interested in:
PNY GTX 1060 - mainly because it's actually priced at 250, had good experience with PNY before.
Mini ITX versions of GTX 1060 - I don't know if they would be loud because of one fan.
Sapphire RX 480 Nitro - I like the looks but the price seems too high
TL;DR - Looking for the best value upgrade from my R9 280 that will fit nicely in my Core V1 case.
