Posted March 6, 2017 So I am looking to get a graphics card for around 200- 260 bucks USD. I had chosen the Gigabyte G1 1060 6gb that's like 250 on amazon. I started to think about future proof as I want the card I am gonna buy to be useful for around 2-3 years for high- ultra 1080p 60fps. That's when I started to also look at the rx 480. I've seen benchmarks where the 1060 wins in DX11 games but then starts to fall below the 480 in DX12 games like Tomb Raider, Hitman, and also Vulkan games. Is stuff like DX12 and Vulkan a requirement that always has to be on? Im a noob to API's so I dont know anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 6, 2017 RX 480 8GB is king right now. Check my sig for a link to why. it's about 1% behind in DX11, while it's 6% ahead in DX12, and a ton more ahead in Vulkan.

Posted March 6, 2017 Fury if your power supply is equipped for it and man enough to take it. RX 480 if you want something slightly newer that doesn't double as a heater in the winter. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 6, 2017 Author I have a 600w EVGA psu so, to summerize, I should get a Fury and then the next best choice would be rx 480 8gb because of the API's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, who wants to go in on two of those with me and Crossfire? Suck it, 1080 Ti. Our setup blows you away and doubles as a convection oven with a convenient hot plate up top. In the winter, we can take the side panels off and use it to heat the village. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
