Which one will get more fps in fx. 2k games? and 1080p? Im just trying to compare to my friends build, but can't find any benchmarks, so i thought why not asks in linus' forum. All hail linus. Our saviour. Y'all need linus.

seriously it's god for 1080p gaming.

Some games don't supports sli, so not 960 sli.

Could argue freesync monitors are insanely cheaper then gsync, AMD cards generally age better and you can't deny that more games are going to utilize DX12 and Vulkan which the 480 usually bears the 1060 in.

So the 1060 is the best for 1080p gaming? could this be a future proof card for 1080p gaming?

960 SLI = 980 performance at best so 480 is the better choice here since it perform similar to 980 without the need to wait for profile and tinkering Nvidia Inspector to make the game work/perform great.

The XFX GTR RX 480 is a complete beast. I'd get it over a low end 1060 any day.

Its mostly brand preferences.. But if you check @ benchmarks... 1060 win mostly in all games...
