Well i was almost ready to get the Zotac 1060 AMP edition , but have seen around so many articles where the people were posting better to get the Rx 480 since it kicks out the Pascal cards more than 30-40% in Vulcan and more future proof , Well the difference was marginal in the Ashes of the Singularity , but in the benchmarks of the game Doom , even the rx 470 outperforms the Gtx 1060.

Open GL : Gtx 1060 , 12% better than the 470 and 8% faster than the 480
Vulcan : Rx 470 is 25-30% faster than gtx 1060 in the game Doom

So my question is the upcoming games support only Vulcan? In that case getting the 470 would be a better choice for me?

So i'm looking for a future proof card , since the 480 prices are fucked up in India , the 480 is 390$ , where as the Gtx 1060 is 320$ (Evga) , Rx 470 is 260$ (Sapphire).

Throw your suggestions.

Look at the 8350, much higher FPS with nvidia and dx11,in fact with the 8350 nvidia in dx11 is almost as fast as the fury is in dx12, 51 vs 54.

so did current and upcoming games released in DX12 only? Vulkan probably better than OpenGL but it is hard to see many games adopting Vulkan. it is not that strange with Doom because they have been long using OpenGL. so it only obvious they will use Vulkan. but for most dev they probably going to stick with DirectX. and when it comes to Dx11 vs DX12 so far the result is a bit of mixed in the bag. yes DX12 can provide better frame rates on AMD hardware but most often DX12 path have far more stability issues than it's DX11 counter part. and developer for the most part still cannot match gpu maker performance optimization. Remedy admit that during their GDC presentation that just matching DX11 performance (gpu maker optimization) is very difficult task.

just pick which ever you can afford with.

I'm sorry, I must be really tired, but I still don't understand what you're saying:
When you look at benchmarks always look at what CPU they are using,AMD gains a lot with vulkan/dx12 but only on the top CPUs, on anything lower the nvidia cards almost always perform better then AMD.
Click to expand...

In the graphic you're showing, there are 2 Intel CPUs and one AMD.
So where is this "anything lower"? 8320? 8320e? 6300?
All the CPUs are getting more FPS with DX12 is all that I can see. More FPS with the Fury than with the 980, DX11 -> DX12

So I'm a little lost.
And going to bed now, I hope I'll read your answer in the morning :)

If you would look at a bench with a lot of GPUs all tested only with the i7 you would only see AMD getting a big boost while Nvidia would stay at the same level (at best)
The 8350 is the weak CPU in this benchmark, both vendors get a boost with this CPU in Dx12,but with the nvidia you don't even need the boost since Dx11 is almost as fast as the AMD card with Dx12.


And check the numbers again on the intel CPUs the 980ti is faster or as fast as the furyx no matter if Dx11 or 12,on the 8350 everything is fine except for the fury in Dx11 which is considerably slower.
