Which GPU to buy

Solution


Snif, snif.... Ohhhhh! I can smell the nvidia fanboy here!!!!

6 month ago, before the release of the 580, pretty much everyone with common sense and unbiased opinion was saying that the 1060 6gb and 480 8gb was neck to neck and the winner was mainly depending on the game that youre playing on (some game perform better with the 480, and others with the 1060)... So now that the 580 is out and perform better than the 480, you're still saying without any doubt that 1060>580??? Cmon!!!! At least you could say that each has their strenghts.... The truth is, and look at any benchmark, game still using DX11 has a tendency to perform better with the 1060 and other games that use the newer engines DX12/vulkan perform...

So AnasNazim, dont listen to Jowen... The best advice that i can tell you is, look at what game youre gonna play, do some research on internet about those game and how they perform with 1060 compare to the 580 and choose from there the one that suits you best. One other thing that you may want to take in consideration, is the fact that more and more game will be release in a future not that far with the newer engines DX12/vulkan and consequently, less using DX11. So, if you want a card that would probably be more futureproof, AMD is probably a better choice. Finally, dont forget to compare the price of the card, since that the price could vary a lot depending of the country you live in. Does 5-10 fps (on either side (1060 or 580) really worth the price difference... (if its 5$, probably not, 100$ is another question)... Only you can decide if the price difference worth it.... But, at the end, whatever will be your final choice, either card will give you great performance for 1080p, 60hz gaming at ultra setting!!!

Have fun!!!

What no answer? What is wrong mamogram? Anyway to the OP the 1060 is a new Process and a lot of OC headroom if you want. The 580 is just a 480 refresh ... low numbers out there cost more and run hotter.

I agree with you 100% Mammatus. It depends on what games you play and driver support. And this is for you jowen3400, http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-RX-580-vs-GeForce-GTX-1060. By the way just because its a refresh does not mean it performs worse do your research before you start up an argument

Theriver. Thank you for you reply. BUT gpuboss does include people with OC'ed card and lack of driver support. So as I can post 3d mark scores as well. The main reason is that a 1060 and a 580 are so close not even funny. But It is 100x easier to get a 1060 and it is cheaper. So from as price point if you can get a 580 for around 200 then sweet. But most list at 250-280 which the 1060 is a better deal.

Also that shows a 1050 ti being better than a 1060... We know that is not the case. That is why I did the review from Jayz2cents great reviewer over a million followers. But to his is own.

BTW GPUboss is not research ...

The reason the rx 580 is hard to find and get is because people are buying them for mining which means people prefer them over the gtx 1060.

Mamogram.... Youre funny... like my 8 years old daughter.... No better argument than insulting others... Tell us joke about poo, pee, and boobs.... Thats probably all you can do... :-( Not able to construct a valid and solid argumentation... And btw, i was out for dinner... Thats why i didnt respond... So sorry if i offended your poor and fragile softshell ego with argument supported with NUMEROUS neutral and unbiased benchmark and review.... For sure, your very well documented argument that 1060>580>470 demonstrated without any doubt (with the quality of argumention and astronomical amount of proof supporting your idea that you can have a reasonable reasoning free of any personal opinion... Lets go... admit it, youll feel better after... Admit it that you have a 1060 and I hurt your feeling by saying that another card could be better than the one that you choose!!! So kid, return playing your CSGO with your uber aimbot just to show how great you are.... Have fun, i'm done with you!!! And i have confidence that AnasNazim will have better tools with what I brought here in this discussion to do a wise choice than your contribution.... And like I said, if he decide that the 1060 is a wiser choice for the game that he played, I would even be very happy for him... Go take your hot milk, its time to go to bed, kid...

P.S. And concerning that the 1060 is cheaper, again, learn to read.... I wrote that price can vary a lot from country to another... Do you know which country is AnasNazim from...? Thats why I suggest him to look at the price of each card before choosing and to consider if it worth it to pick a 580 OR a 1060 for just a few FPS more/less... And BTW, he didnt ask which card cost less, he asked which is better!!! Which question I answered by, "it depend of the game"... Even with that, youre not even bright enough to understand that, in a certain way, i agree with you that the 1060 in certain situation could be better.... The more you answer, the more you proove us that: 1-you dont want to understand or 2) you dont have the ability to understand... Choose your camp!!! :-(

Mamogragram since your memory is so short like I bet the rest of you, you are the one who started on fan boy comment and insults. But I don't expect you to understand that living in your mom's basement. I provided sources and benchmarks you provide nothing to this thread and in life. Now let me break this down in little blocks so you can ask your mom what this means. Bill wants a crayon there are two crayon that are the same. One cost more than the other. The crayon thatbid cheaper and the same is the best one. Now run along and eat all your corn.

I know, I said that i was done with you but it is incredible the amount of false and biased information that you can say in one day....

You know right that synthetic benchmark doesnt represent exactly the reality that what we can see in game?!?! Do you??? :-( This comparison that you just did is just like saying that new Ryzen CPU will perform better in gaming just because it score better in synthetic benchmark!!! That would be a very ignorant affirmation.... Are you saying that???

Mammogram are you retarded? I said user benchmarks don't show what you will see. I already said this. I showed a very well produced video via jayz2cents. He showed real-world stats and prices. You really need help.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from AnasNazim : "Which GPU to buy"

















Drinking your youtuber has 30K Followers mine has over a million. I tend to trust user with more people confirming. That will help render the source a real source and not some one off video. Every real review puts them side by side with in 5% on everything with 1060 wining most. But the 1060 is 50 bucks less and runs cooler.
