Go to solution Solved by MrGoose0,

Thanks everyone! 

I'll be getting a RX 580 (4GB) Sapphire PULSE edition :)

Posted

Hey everyone!

I currently have a R9 380 Saphire NITRO card (4GB) and I think it's time to upgrade, but I don't have a ton of money to waste on resources I'm not going to use..

I'm rockin a 27'' 1080p display and I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon.

 

I can't understand what card should I get...

the GTX 1060 (6GB) is the same price as RX 580 (4GB) and I can't find any comparasons between those, all I see is the RX 580 (8GB) benchmarks... 

the RX 480 (8GB) is almost the same price as the RX 580 (8GB) and I don't have that kind of money for a card rn.

 

My CPU: i5-4690K (3,9Ghz) OC

 

Also is there any difference between the 1060 compact version and not a compact version performance wise..?

Gee that's an amazing offer.

 

How much are the 480 and 580 8gb cards compared to the 1060?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I guess 35 Euros net cash outlay is not a bad deal for an upgrade to a brand new RX 580 4GB

Don't try to get what you can't afford.

 

I wouldn't take a 1060. No SLI support, shorter driver support, more expensive to get Gsync, all mean that the 1060 will not hold its value over time as well as an AMD card.

Sounds reasonable. :)

Should I get a Saphire PULSE or a GIGABYTE GAMING version and how can I tell the difference between those?

Ehhh all not the best options.

 

What are the cheapest non-gigabyte amd cards and dual fan 1060s?
