Anyone have suggestions? my suggestion is get 480 if you havent enough money for 1060 6gbs one because some people says that 3gb models one is not worth from his price Remember to quote me (or someone else), otherwise we won't going to recieve your answers...

Posted December 6, 2016 480 8gb, its only going to get better especially with DX12 and Vulcan and has already made up a lot of ground on the 1060 Ryzen Ram Guide My Project Logs Iced Blood Temporal Snow Temporal Snow Ryzen Refresh CPU - Ryzen 1700 @ 4Ghz Motherboard - Gigabyte AX370 Aorus Gaming 5 Ram - 16Gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3200 GPU - Palit 1080GTX Gamerock Premium Storage - Samsung XP941 256GB, Crucial MX300 525GB, Seagate Barracuda 1TB PSU - Fractal Design Newton R3 1000W Case - INWIN 303 White Display - Asus PG278Q Gsync 144hz 1440P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 6, 2016 480 8gb if you have the $220 and don't mind the AMD Catalyst drivers. Especially if you are upgrading monitors at some point during the cards lifespan since Freesync is pretty much a free add on to new monitors where as Gsync cost either a hand or an entire arm.

Posted December 6, 2016 I would get whichever one is cheaper. They both offer very similar performance. The 1060 is marginally better but in new DX12 and Vulcan games, the 480 can be better by a few percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 6, 2016 GTX 1060 3GB or 6GB RX 480 8GB What games do you want to play? What resolution? 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4k Whats your budget (if any) I may have a GTX 1070, but in my opinion, AMD Drivers are always getting better from past experiences and also game benchmarks of my friends computer (RX 460) and the 1060 doesnt seem to be improving too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 6, 2016 RX 480 does better in DX12, very few games are built on DX12. Buy whatever card gets you the best cooling solution for the cheapest price (so you can get a good OC out of it). i5-6600k (4.6) | Dark Rock 3 | MSI GAMING X 1060 6GB | 8GB DDR4 | 120GB SSD & 1TB HDD | Crystal 460x | Acer GN246HL 1080p 24" 144hz & Acer G246HL 1080p 24" 60hz | PSU Tier List | PC Partpickers: US Canada Australia UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have the budget, I might as well get a more powerful card that will exceed a steady and stable 60+ fps on max settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also make sure that the CPU used in those benchmarks was an actually realistic one, not a 6700k or something.. i5-6600k (4.6) | Dark Rock 3 | MSI GAMING X 1060 6GB | 8GB DDR4 | 120GB SSD & 1TB HDD | Crystal 460x | Acer GN246HL 1080p 24" 144hz & Acer G246HL 1080p 24" 60hz | PSU Tier List | PC Partpickers: US Canada Australia UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you looked into it and are making an informed decision based on games you play not a bad choice by any means to go with something with a lil more power.

Even if the games he plans on playing do fine on the 1050ti, it is worth it to get a RX 470 as it's price to performance destroys the 1050ti. i5-6600k (4.6) | Dark Rock 3 | MSI GAMING X 1060 6GB | 8GB DDR4 | 120GB SSD & 1TB HDD | Crystal 460x | Acer GN246HL 1080p 24" 144hz & Acer G246HL 1080p 24" 60hz | PSU Tier List | PC Partpickers: US Canada Australia UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree that the 470 is a fine choice too if it hits the numbers he wanted. He stated he wants to spend his full budget so his original card choices seem solid for hit position. Just like to point out other options as some people watch these you tubers then buy graphics cards that are far more powerful than they need to play WOW, League of Legends, and CS GO. Just because they here that other cards are better. Like to provide a different viewpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, but I didn't agree with your original statement as it seemed you were suggesting going from a 480/1060 to a 1050ti. i5-6600k (4.6) | Dark Rock 3 | MSI GAMING X 1060 6GB | 8GB DDR4 | 120GB SSD & 1TB HDD | Crystal 460x | Acer GN246HL 1080p 24" 144hz & Acer G246HL 1080p 24" 60hz | PSU Tier List | PC Partpickers: US Canada Australia UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
