RX 580 for the bit of extra VRAM, and driver features like image sharpening, and that over fps boosting thing.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Basically equal performance in gaming, so if the other features appeal to you like GeForce experience or Radeon Chill, you can decide based on that. If you only care about performance for your money, the cheaper of the two is the smart choice.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

It will be 2-3 FPS max diference deppend on game. If you want silent and cold GPU you will pick Nvidia. If you want Hot GPU that run on laud fans you pick AMD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First off, why all the blank lines? That was in no way helpful.

 

Second, that's a pretty silly generalization. It really depends on the model. It's true that the 580 uses a little more power than the 1060, but after market coolers and the built in VBIOS are what will primarily determine how much noise each model makes.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

Thanks to all who takes time to reply my question. After reading each comment I guess I'll choose rx 580 8gb even tho it consumes more power as you guys mentioned.

I take 580 for performance with modern APIs and that extra VRAM.

Check performance for the games you think you want to play (which game engine they use...) and make your decision based on that...

Look at multiple videos and keep in mind clockspeed as well since this is most of where the performance difference can likely come from between the two cards.
