Wait for RX580 and Gtx 1060ti

[rajnaimesh007]

I really wanted to upgrade my Gtx 660ti to something that can play 1080p games for next 2 or so years.

I have been doing research about amd rx480 and gtx 1060 , and looking what is more future ready than each other. 

 

And recently there have been some rumors about 1060ti and rx580 , so what are the advantage i am going to get if i decide to wait ? and also I am really confused with two options of nvidia and amd .

what options are you confused about?

rx 580 is supposed to be due out april 18th  (in 3 days) just wait and see what the future holds at this point really.

Honestly doubt that there'll be a GTX 1060Ti. The RX 480 and GTX 1060 6GB are more or less on par with each other when it comes to performance.

 

The RX 580 is basically a RX 480 with a small clock increase with nothing else noteworthy. Take that as you will.

I don't know if there will be GTX 1060ti but there will be or already are GTX 1060 with upgraded VRAM clocked to 9GHz from previously 8GHz, same with GTX 1080.

I have been Nvidia user for last 5 years , but I have high faith in AMD with its new architecture but AMD has a bad reputation in terms of long term driver support and game optimization . 

In the other hand i am getting more vram for same price with amd .

from what I understand the RX580 is exactly the same as an OC'd RX480... nothing new about it at all... so wait for the 480 to drop in price when the 580 comes out and buy that.

Thanks , 

from the reviews i have seen , XFX  GTR 480 [boost :1338]  its already clocked at same as leaked 580 boost clock [1340] .

Do you think there will be more third party overclocked card for 580 that will be clocked higher than that ?

factory overclocks are weaksauce just do it yourself for an extra 100mhz or so... don't push it to its limit just give it a little shove lol
