XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to vong in G2A or kinguin
I've used Kinguin before and it isn't my first choice, haven't used G2A but I usually use cdkeys.

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to HelplmChoking in GTX 1070, RX480 or wait for Vega?
If you can afford the 1070, definitely choose that. It's much more powerful. Otherwise the 480 8GB is okay for a tighter budget

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Droidbot in Dual Channel memory and Quad Channel Memory
Dual channel is just acceleration for each pair
You can have dual channel configs on systems with 8 DIMMs.

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Snooli in i5 7500 or Ryzen 5 1600(non X)?
depends on if you plan to OC. Ryzen has shown much better performance with very highly clocked RAM, but it has to be running loose timings. TL;DR: The Ryzen is much better, if you're willing to give it a little love

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Snooli in Dual Channel memory and Quad Channel Memory
Yes
there can be 2 dimms per channel (dont have to be, and not all channels have to be on the board at all, asrock x99 mitx)
Ryzen can support up to 4 modules.

these aren't exactly what you would look for when you think of a quality keyboard that won't self destruct.

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Drak3 in Why isnt there any SLI support for the GTX 1060?
Because you could achieve GTX 1080 performance in games that support SLI without paying as much.
-
XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Heesleemer in Why isnt there any SLI support for the GTX 1060?
the 960 did, but the 1060 doesn't because it will most likely undercut the performance of the 1080 and the 1070.... If the 1060 is roughly similar to the 480 and 2 480s in xfire can beat or match a 1080 at much lower cost....

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Atmos in Why is the gtx 1060 "more powerful" than the RX 480?
Nope, and nope.
PhysX runs like shit on everything, like most of nvidia's proprietary software. *cough* hbao+ *cough*
@XplosiveNoctua99 Differing core architectures and software implementations for compression and resource management. The 1060 works more efficiently with what it has than the 480.

Have you heard about PhysX? Yeah because of that

I'm with you

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to Iron Knickers in Why is the gtx 1060 "more powerful" than the RX 480?
Well there are many more differences between them, in fact when you look at the specs across different manufacturers, in this case AMD and Nvidia, you can't really compare them, and you can't really assume how a graphics card is going to perform based on any statistics really. What matters is benchmarks and reviews, and that is it.
Furthermore, as someone else pointed out, Physx and all of Gameworks have to blame on why the 1060 performs slightly better than the 480. Even further though, there is the hardware side to something and the software side to it, if most games favored AMD perfectly than AMD cards would perform monstrously better than Nvidia, if most games favored NVidia perfectly than NVidia cards would perform monstrously better than AMD's cards. Its all about software and hardware.

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to c00face in Why is the gtx 1060 "more powerful" than the RX 480?
Who cares. Just buy a Rx 460 for $100 and be satisfied with 1080P gaming.

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to handymanshandle in Why is the gtx 1060 "more powerful" than the RX 480?
Besides the 1060 being on a larger process (16nm FinFet) it also has a slightly bigger die means it has more transistors than the 480.
Also as others said architectural differences. I'm planning on building with an RX 480 because the Nitro+ looks so much better and is a bit more premium than the coolers on the 1060. The Nitro+ seems to also offer up a nice boost over the performance of the reference card so that puts it closer to a 1060.

The 1060 is more efficient - But
The 480 should be better in the long run with asynchronous compute stuff coming soon

XplosiveNoctua99 reacted to HKZeroFive in Switching from GTX 960 to "RX480 or 1060"?
'Better drivers' is not exactly right. Both AMD and NVIDIA are basically the same in terms of driver quality at this point.
IIRC, both are similarly priced. If the price gap isn't too big, I'd shoot for the GTX 1060.
