not at all, the 1060 is a stronger 1080p card, only times its beten is in Vulcan and DX 12 and even then its usually not by much. there also arent too many DX 12 and Vulcan games on the market and there wont be for a while

yep but the 480 is allso enugh in 1080p

we are usiually not against AMD, we just dont recoment stuff thats bad vaue, if it was a lower budget them i would have said a 470, but seeing as a 1060 6GB has a good price here in Sweden then there is no reson to recomend the 480 in this case

ok... my bad. I did not get, that HE is in sweden... becuase in the US things would be defferent

SO: My bad xD

聽

and as i said i dont like amd cards since they have acted weird and broken down on me in the past

Dude... yopu cant compete against this price for the AMD getthing 1060 now is silly...

And here are so mayy guys agains AMD?

But why.

I use a 780 as i told earlyer. But i dont care for the brand

I promise this thing will run fine like a nvida card. You will not notice anny difference.

and in Dx12/vulcan its faster

sooooo.....

in Sweden there is basically no reason to got for a 480, its just as expensive as a 1060 for less preformance, the differance between the cheapest 1060 6GB and 480 8GB was about 20sek last time i checked

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

Builds:

The Toaster Project!聽Northern Bee!

its the same in the US, a 660TI is enough for 1080p too, the 1060 is the stronger card in the priceclass at 1080p in anything thats DX11, Open GL, and even in some cases DX 12 and Vulcan

okok it might depend on the game... but i personaly do considder those things like this: I dont care for a bottleneck IF I still have nice FPS (wich will be possible with this i5 and a 480/1060. So the nexting to upgrade in a few months then would be the cpu to "unleash" the full power from the CPU. So this is a sort of investing in the future ;).聽

If he can aford it he should go with the stronger card even if its bottleneced a bit by the CPU

Well I mean he might not even see an fps difference between with a higher end GPU...
