which is better 1060 6 gb or Rx 580?? or some other rx 4 series??

I don't think the rx 400 cards are being sold anymore. The RX 590 isn't a bad choice and it gets bundled with AAA games but a used 980Ti or used 1070 is still a better choice. The RX 580 is a better choice over the RX 590 since it's price gets pretty low.

its pretty hard to find used cards where i live, so new cards are my only option, My question is Rx 580 8gb or Gtx 1060 6gb??

Are Amd gpus perform good enough and Rx 580 is par with which nvidia gpu's??

rx 580 = 1060 6gb

the rx 590 is right in between the 1060 6gb and the 1070 8gb.

The 1060 and 580 generally trade blows between titles, but the 580 has a slight edge to the 1060.

8086k Winner BABY!!

Tanq for the quick replies guys, Rx 580 seems like a great deal then,its cheaper then 1060 6gb and comes with 3 games.

But are amd drivers are as good as  nvidia's

and what all should i know before buying amd cards over nividia's?

As TheDankKoosh said the 580 and 1060 have quite similar performance. I would suggest the RX580 8gb for the 2gb of VRAM and imo It will Age Better.

AMD drivers are good and the 2019 update added some nice features , I can't compare since I never had an Nvidia gpu in ages.

used 980TI, R9 Fury or 1070

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
