Rx 470 4gb or Gtx 1060 3gb with Freesync 1080p 60HZ monitor

shankar yskr · Dec 30, 2016

My PC build
Intel i5 4690 (non K)
Gigabyte H97 d3h Mbo
Seasonic 620w s12ii PSU
samsung 24f350 monitor(1080,60hz,ips)
*i don't use any Cooler as of now

I have a Freesync monitor and i am confused whether to go with Rx470 4gb or Gtx 1060 3gb i am totally happy with the benchmarks i seen for 470 but friends keep saying 470 will heat more than 1060 and also Amd has bad driver issue always .i don't mind the drivers but i want to know if 470 heats more than 1060

The 470 is both cheaper and faster..

what about heating

The 1060 is equivalent too a 480 so the 1060 is faster but having a Freesync monitor and not an AMD card seems mad to me, although the 470 is weaker because it can use freesync it should be a much smoother experience.

The power consumption is better on the 1060 it's 145 vs 160 watts but who cares about that? Faster cards use more power.

The 1060 is $60 more expensive on average .. yet in half the games it's slower. In fact a rx480 is the same price as a 1060 that's the best choice.

Where? Show me a review where a 470 beats the 1060. The 1060 & 480 trade blows at DX12 but the 1060 dominates in DX11.

If you didn't have a Freesync monitor then I would recommend the 1060 but only by a little. Since you have a Freesync monitor then go with the RX 470 all the way. There is no reason to choose the 1060 over the 470 in your situation.

i am worried if this will heat or not above normal temp without cooler? https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-RX-470-4G/dp/B01JS9F9K4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483128905&sr=1-2&keywords=rx+470

both are the same price actually thats the reason i actually asked here .as far i seen 1060 was better than 470 but @60fps 1080p there were barely differences

You will have no problems with heat and especially if you use MSI Afterburner and set up a custom fan profile. Even if you don't you will be fine. The MSI Gaming X has a great cooler and performance. You won't be disappointed.
