Performance is better than the GTX 1060, so it depends on what is cheaper.

I know the Rx 580 came out a few hours ago, performance doesn't seem that great, so what should I do? Will it improve with updates or is the 1060 a better buy? Please give your opinions thanks :)

I would go for the 580. The 480 was my preference, and since the 580 is just a 480 with better clocks...

Ultra is stupid. ALWAYS.

I was planning on getting 480 but I waited for 580 but it still seems that 1060 is more power efficient and better performing

Not really, they are equivalent. It depends more on the game, optmisation, API...

feel like nvidia updates there stuff prior to a game coming out and with ATi cards or AMD cards rather you are waiting a little longer for updates. I also feel like the nvidia cards perform better than the ATi cards.

Same, but I really don't want to make the wrong choice xD

I'd say save a couple more and go for a GTX 1070 or a Vega equivalent later on.

 

Looking at the benchmarks these cards are only hitting a 60FPS goal. What about the next two years when new games come out? think about it.

I myself was planning on getting an RX 580, but the performance feels so-so. I'd rather wait for Vega or get a GTX 1070.

 

Also, even if you only have a 1080p monitor, what happens when you get a 4K monitor/TV with HDR? You'd have to dial down on the details which kinda sucks.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."

I think you should wait a bit. Who knows, Nvidia might give a price drop to the GTX 1060s, and the RX 480s still perform roughly the same with the RX 580s. So if you see an RX 480 on sale I'd get that instead. Better yet, look for R9 Furys and Fury Xs out there if they're on sale, that's some GTX 1070 performance right there.
