[SniphzR]

Which one should I choose? In terms of performance. I will only play in 1080p.

[PRTI]

None,get a RX 470

[SniphzR]

Only Nvidia, choose between the 2.

Nice choice of cards one with a terrible memory design and the other one cut down with a misleading name 

 

Get the 1060. Preferably get the 6 GB version.

[Arashanu]

The 1060 has the "performance of the gtx 980" http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060  Scroll down a bit to find some benchmarks with their specs listed. Value wise you'd be better off going with the 1060, but make sure you read up on this information anyways to keep yourself informed.

The 970 still performs fantastic even in the last 0.5GB of vram. "The more you know."

[ARikozuM]

In this case I'd go with the 970 if you can get a good deal. I would recommend the 1060 6GB if you can afford it.

[ivan134]

Both are junk. Get an Rx 470

[Arashanu]

Adding to what I posted before, you can find a GTX 1060 6GB version of the card for under $300. It's very much worth it over spending $250+ on the older generation 970.

You're getting the same GM as the 980. The memory issue was an issue in the fab process. Would you prefer the 960's GM in your 970?

neither of those

you can't pony up for the 6GB version .. well, the GTX970

[Nena Trinity]

1. RX 470 (RX 480 and 1060 6GB is even better)

2. GTX 970

3. GTX 1060 scam edition

If you can wait a few days for this card to be in stock, this would be an excellent choice for your money.

[SniphzR]

which tests do you see? I think you're seeing no tests. The RX 480 performs better than the GTX 1060 3GB edition. I think even the RX 470 beats it. The 1060 6GB is good, not the 3GB, though.

You can purchase the card from their website. But you can chose to ignore the others if you don't find their responses reasonable. I can guarantee you do not want the 3 GB variant. You'd be better off getting the 6 GB variant by saving up that extra cash.

Let me not to collect thousands of videos on comparing them

[Darkseth]

From me too, GTX 1060 6gb.

 

If you buy cheap, you buy Twice. Buying a 6gb version saves you money in the end, since 3gb is TODAY already a HUGE Bottleneck.

 

Let's take Rise of the Tomb Raider as an example. I play it in MAXED out settings. Just Ambient Occlusion is on SSAO (HBAO+ does not look better in this game. Just in some areas it does, in others it doesnt, os i stick to SSAO), and AA mode is set on FXAA, beause for me it looks even better than SSAA x4.

 

I get ful 60 fps, with GPU usage 80%~ depending on situation and what's on the screen.

Vram usage hits 4700-5000 mb.

 

This is a scenario, where 3gb will Bottleneck, despite the GPU COULD have enough performance.

 

 

GTX 970 is bullshit in first place. 3,5 gb in fast, and 0.5 in slow.

As long there is driver support for this model, it works in most cases. As soon that stops, you will get a huge problem. Because right now, the Driver is preventing the game to use more than 3.5gb Vram. Those slow unuseable 0.5gb are NOT beeing used.

When that stops, and the game does not know that it shouldn't use that.... then you run into problems --> Very bad frametimes.

 

And 3gb 1060, like i said. You will have to turn settings down because of the Vram in latest games. And if you turn settings down anyway, you might as well save money with a RX 470 4gb.

 

So before you live with such a compromise, get a GTX 1060 6gb, and get over it.

One time less partying, and that difference is payed.

Did you get it for a good price? The 1060 6 GB would have been better due to more Vram. 4 is basically standard  now.
