1060 vs 580

[Spailer]

Where I live the gtx 1060 6gb is cheaper than the rx 580 4gb

which one should i get?

If it is cheaper, then I would get the 1060 6gb.

They are quite on par, with the RX 580 having a brighter future (DX12, Vulkan). But the 4GB vram might not be enough for the future.

Whatever is cheaper. Also take a look at the features the cards offer, like CUDA, ShadowPlay... on the nvidia side or Relive, Chill... on the AMD side.

Forgot to ask this. If the RX 480 8GB is at the same price (or lower), I would get the 480.

no the 8gb version of the 580 AND 480 are both more expensive than the 1060 6gb

Go with the 1060 then.

With a new monitor? If yes, get the RX580 with a FreeSync monitor, even if the GPU is more expensive. You'll save that cost by not spending a fortune on a G-Sync monitor.

If FreeSync is not a concern, get the GTX 1060 6GB. The cards trade blows in gaming.

I`m new here, in fact first post, but mostly just read for advice and tips without ever signing up.

 

I recently bought the Sapphire 480 nitro+ 8gb and was looking at the same cards, the 480 is good for what I play, GTA V, Project Cars, Dirt Rally, CoD for zombies and a few others. I`m pretty happy with the performance, the 580 isn`t that much better really. What made me go with the 480 was I got it for a little over half price, like I said I am happy with it but I feel the 1060 would be a little better than the 580. Not a fanboy thing my last card was an MSI 7770 and never had an issue with it. The only thing is will DX12 get implemented more as newer games come out, because there seems to be a little advantage in games that support it now.

Memory matters when the pixels are many.4 gb for 1080p gaming is good.

well, youre wrong. the 1060 is not as good as a 480. 
but were talking about small performance losses, if the 1060 is like over 30 dollars cheaper id get it (and dont buy the 3gb version its shit)

I get triggered when people don't put rx in front of the numbers, I'm like gtx 580  then I remember they mean rx 480/580.
