480 is slower, louder, hotter, uses more power but most importantly ....

When AMD switched from the 7xx series to the R9 2xx series, the hardware didn't really change... they just aggressively overclocked the older gen cards, changed the aesthetics. and assigned new numbers ... this is not an uncommon practice, both nVidia and Intel have oft taken the same approach. But where practices diverged is that since then AMD cards are have very little manual overclocking. nVidia cards from the 7xx series could overclock to percentages in the high 20s....(26-28%) ...and tho it's dropped, with the 10xx series being in the high teens (18%)... AMDs cards for all 3 generations have been almost exclusively limited to single digits.... tho some RX...

Can't get a solid answer to this question w/o listing resolution

1080p ($194) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137034

If you willing to spend $327 for a 1060, you should be willing to spend $379 (+16%) for a 1070 which is 38% faster than the 1069 6Gb and 50% faster than the 480.

1440p ($379) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127947

EDIT: As I see you not in US ... of course prices will vary a) because of regional differences and b) because in US, this is the biggest "sale" day of the year

I guessed as much but since you didn't name what country, I had no means of providing comparable prices for the 1070.

gigabyte is a good brand too just not as good as MSI or asus but that warranty does help . a 1070 GPU with that much vram and lalso taking into account how much ram and the CPU you have should be enough to game at 1080P

No worries

1060 3GB - ₱ 14,099.00
http://pcworx.ph/?module=product&category=Components&subcategory=Video%20Card&brand=MSI&code=0000024589

1060 6Gb Model - ₱ 17,100.00
http://pcworx.ph/?module=product&search=1060&page=2

That's about 18% off for what amounts to a 7% performance reduction (average in Techpowerup game test suite)



If the price increase holds across other outlets in the Phillipines, the 1070s are comparitively a bigger price increase than here in the US at ₱ 16,150.00 ₱ 27,500.00

Again, for 1080p gaming, with a tight budget, I'd buy the 3GB 1060 which should be cheaper than anything you listed. If budget isn't tight, again... given the wide spread of the pricing on cards listed, I'd look for a 1070 in your price range.

Typical fps for 1060 3GB @ 1080p

BF4 - 90+ fps
Cod Black Ops - 60+ fps
Doom - 70+ fps
Fallout 4 - 80+ fps
GTAV - 95+ fps
Witcher 3 - 55+ fps

10xx series cards generally overclock 15 - 18%.

ZOTAC GTX 1060 Mini 3gb = $190
ZOTAC GTX 1060 AMP! 6gb = $275

Palit GTX 1060 StormX 3gb = $191
Palit GTX 1060 Dual Fan 3gb = $199

MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X Twin Frozr 6 3gb = $257

Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 3gb = $256 - 3 years warranty

MSI, Zotac and Palit all have 2 year warranty
I guess Palit and Zotac are much cheaper because they're from Asian countries too? I guess?

AFAIK, those warrantees are 2 years parts ... 3 years parts and labor.... which makes no sense to me cause I never heard of anyone actually repairing a GFX card.

AFAIK, hey are all built in Asian Countries regardless of where corporate headquarters are.

Un fortunately all the cards you klisted are not 'apples and apples" each pairing is different card

MSI 3GB - ₱12,850.00
https://dynaquestpc.com/product/msi-gtx-1060-gaming-x-3gb-gddr5-192bit/

MSI 6GB - ₱16,400.00
https://dynaquestpc.com/product/msi-gtx-1060-gaming-x-6gb-gddr5/

Can compare the Zotac Minis ...
https://dynaquestpc.com/?s=zotac+1060&post_type=product

but, it would appear the minis are throttled down a bit

The one thing that holds me back from buying MSI GTX 1060 6GB is because it is red.
and my motherboard is a b150m mortar arctic (White)

that's just it...

AMDs cards for all 3 generations have been almost exclusively limited to single digits.... tho some RX 4xx models have gotten 12-14% over reference models

Some manufacturers however have managed to get similar overclocks from both camps....

Techpowerup took the MSI 1060 Gaming 3 GB from 83.3 to 95.2 fps (14.5%)
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1060_Gaming_X_3_GB/29.html

Techpowerup took the MSI 1060 Gaming 6 GB from 87.8 to 101.1 fps (15.1%)
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1060_Gaming_X/27.html

Techpowerup took the MSI RX 480 Gaming 8GB from 77.0 to 83.6 fps (8.6%)
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/RX_480_Gaming_X/26.html

Note that all these cards come factory overclocked so if ya factor that in, you get the % above the reference models comparable to the numbers indicated in the paragraph above..
