RX 590 is around 10% faster than the other ones. I definitely wouldn't get the RX 580 though. The armor cards are kinda garbage. 

Main System: EVGA GTX 1080 SC, i7 8700, 16GB DDR4 Corsair LPX 3000mhz CL15, Asus Z370 Prime A, Noctua NH D15, EVGA GQ 650W, Fractal Design Define R5, 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 500gb Samsung 850 Evo
Secondary System: EVGA GTX 780ti SC, i5 3570k @ 4.5ghz, 16gb DDR3 1600mhz, MSI Z77 G43, Noctua NH D15, EVGA GQ 650W, Fractal Design Define R4, 3TB WD Caviar Blue, 250gb Samsung 850 Evo

Well if can buy cheaper in norway, then go for it.

I just suggesting that rx580 is the best bang for the buck right now, if you can't wait for the next generation gpu.

Im about to send in a broken 1060 3GB from ZOTAC, and its such a small price to pay for a upgrate to a 6/8gb card so i'd like to do that.

 

The question is what i should choose when it comes to upgrade:

RADEON RX 590 FATBOY

MSI Radeon RX 580 8GB Armor OC

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual OC

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

 

which one is the best upgrade? all are same price point at my local store with 30 bucks between them

 

A mining used 1070 would also be within range, but i dont know if its worth to get a out of warranty card...

 

I'd get either of the Radeons as they have more memory and I'd expect them to have a longer lifetime.

Modern AAA Games can go over 6GiB and close to 8GiB VRAM (or more).

If the 590 is that close in price, it's clearly the superior pick. 590 is basically a pretty overclocked 580.

I agree with that, though have to add that its also on an optimized process.

The 590 is 2900NOK(342$), while i get 2400NOK(283$) for the 3gb, so not that much money for the performance i think

How much is VEGA 56??
Here I've seen VEGA 56 for like 309€ on Sale. Normal Price is like 350€ or so

vega 56 is way off due to taxes, goes for around 400€ in Norway... i have budget of like 300€ max

+ i need a new card ASAP, so cant wait for sales

coreclocks arent comparable. different Processing units are being used and the number of them differ.

 

you can only compare them using benchmarks. the rx 580 being faster in compute and equivelent in games. 

I noticed you know the Norwegian prices a bit, and i just got another 1k to my budget so i could possibly spring for a 2060 card.

 

I was only wondering if it would be any point in doing so since im rocking a puny i5 7400- non k processor.

would the 2060 just be bottlenecked in triple A games in the future?

I run anything with the 1060, i5 combo with medium settings as of now. 180 fps CPU max in FH4, picture for reference if it matters.

 

Takk på forhånd!

 

Edit: 9 stutter because of low vram, not RAM or CPU as i sometimes get "low memory" notification on FH4

Nah a 2060 is a nice upgrade. No need to worry about bottlenecking.

How about the Radeon VII ?  If you want a good solid card for 1440p

CPU i7 4960x Ivy Bridge Extreme | 64GB Quad DDR-3 RAM | MBD Asus x79-Deluxe | RTX 2080 ti FE 11GB |
Thermaltake 850w PWS | ASUS ROG 27" IPS 1440p | | Win 7 pro x64 |
