Gtx 1060 vs RX480

Kyottee · Sep 21, 2016

I'm building a new system soon, and am trying to decide between ZOTAC AMP! EDITION GTX 1060 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500403

Or the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202223

The CPU I will be getting is the I5-6500, will there be any bottleneck there?

Thanks for any and all help!

I went with the overall better performance of the 1060 , but if your into the Vulcan go with the RX480.

The GTX 1060 will perform better. No bottleneck on the i5.

What actually uses Vulkan?
