Hi,

 

im deciding wether to get an

 

EVGA GTX 1060 SC Gaming ACX 2.0 6144MB (Link) -> 258€ for me here in Germany

 

or an 

 

MSI RX 580 Armor 8G OC (Link) -> 254€ for me here in Germany

 

or an

Sapphire Radeon RX 580 PULSE 8GB (Link) @ 265€

 

Im really uncertain about those cards as they are pretty much on the same level (performance wise) from what I have read/seen with each card doing better in some games.

 

Im only gaming at 1080p (no plans to go higher for now) and no AAA-Titles (and if then it doesn't need to be max settings) and I want that card to stay around for quite some time (~4-5 years) just like my HD6950 I bought in 2012.

 

EDIT:

My System is the following:

 

  • Core i5 2500k (not overclocked but I have a AiO so I might go ahead and do some overclocking)
  • XFX Radeon HD 6950
  • Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3
  • 12GB DDR3 G.Skill Ripjaws
  • 256GB Samsung 850 Evo
  • 1TB HDD

I know its pretty old but still doing its job (except the HD6950)

 

EDIT 2:

After comparing the two 580's I decided to go with the one from Sapphire, thanks a lot to every one who helped me out on this :)

 

Any recommondations from you guys? (for other cards to suggest, my pricepoint was 200-270 €)

I could see the RX 580 ahead with more headroom in terms of driver tuning and Vulkan support becoming a thing but again, unsure^^

 

I hope you guys can help me out on this one ;-)

 

regards

Alkahna

Get the 580, unless:

  • You care a lot about power consumption

BTW, get a Sapphire or XFX card... They are better than this MSI card.

What's wrong with the MSI (Armor) card? Bad cooling? 

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

Nothing wrong with it, but the Sapphire and XFX cards have better cooling and aren't way more expensive.

@Majestic I added the rest of my system specs as well as an Sapphire alternative RX 580.

With a 2500K, especially at stock, i'd advise to get the 1060.

Pascal Undervolting topic, get more out of your card with less power!

@Majestic why that? and though not right now I might upgrade the cpu next then and from the current standpoint I might actually swap teams on the cpu side over to team red^^ So then the 580 would make more sense in that case I guess

If you're upgrading to Ryzen it's all good. But a sandy bridge is not enough to fully saturate a 580, especially in titles like Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, etc.
