2 rx 480s or 1 gtx 1060?

TKprodigy · Sep 9, 2016

firstly, i know the price range is way off between the 2 options

i cant decide whether to buy 2 rx 480s (1 in november and another next year) or 1 gtx 1060 in november and then upgrade again to what ever the new budget card is.

whats your guys opinions?

thanks!

Obviously 2 RX 480s would give you more power than a GTX 1060, but maybe consider getting a GTX 1070. Crossfire and SLI have some issues. For the most part, it is better to get a single card.

2 RX 480s would be better provided the games you want to play support Crossfire. The single 1060 would be a bit better if you're playing DirectX 11 games that have no multi-GPU support eg. Batman Arkham Knight or Just Cause 3.

I would suggest one 1070 since it's about the same price and single cards have less issues than multiple cards and if you want you can always add another 1070 later but here is a video from JayzTwoCents with bench mark comparisons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVVJPbFRDEc

i cant get a 1070 as i only have enough for a 1060 or 1 rx 480, and i know only the rx 480 supports multi gpu.

I think 1 RX 480 even beats a 1060 (might not be exactly right), but NVIDIA cards have a bunch of added perks

If it came to NVIDIA's 1070 or 1080, I think you'd best go with having one of those over two RX 480s

TKprodigy :

ok I didn't see the comment about one now and the other latter here is a video that has the 1060 in it as well as the 480 but like you said the 1060 can't be in multi gpu config https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bPe_DG_rmg
