1070 vs 580

[ImNotThere]

Already have paid for a 1600 with motherboard and ram but im not sure which gpu to buy, if i go with the 580 i need a new psu due to not having enough pcie power connectors(1 6+2) but this still works out cheaper than a 1070 so i guess the question is, which one, i have the budget for either so do i need the 1070? Or maybe a 1060?

buy 1060 or 1070, i would never buy a 580 just because it consumes power like a truck

RX 580 > GTX 1060

1070 doesnt have competitor yet. Maybe next month when RX Vega releases.

Go with RX 580 from Sapphire or ASUS

You should if you have large budget but you will have to change PSU

WHAT so you would rathwr buy a gpu with less performance (1060) just for the sake of power?

Will i? The 1600 is low tdp so it should stay under 500w and i have the 6+2 connector for the 1070?

A 1070 is a better buy but what exactly is your PSU

Its an aerocool integrator 500w or something like that

tbh its a low quality unit so I wouldn't pair it with any gpu mentioned. i have yet to see a non 80 bronze unit that is good. 

where are you buying from

what is your budget to spend

you could try spend other parts cheaper like a cheaper mobo for example to save cost and get a good psu and gpu

Ill do the pc part picker in a mo but its a prime b350 from asus and a 1600 obvs, some lpx ram from corsair and then an ssd of course, i have allowed around the 1070 price but could allow more for new psu

This sounds good, would you say 580 with 1600 over 1070

the 580 is better value, the 1070 is faster.

lol u mad cuz 1060 consumes way less power and still comes on top :))

580 still loses performance over a 1070,it depends on how much more is a 1070

similar performance to the 1060 in most dx 11 titles wins 1060 in all dx12 titles. your point?

1060 is only worth buying if you have a low end i5 or i3.

for an unbiased look on this - they trade blows but the 580 consumes more power. 

they are equal.

Lel. The 580 is 5% faster unless you play GTA V or 2015 and older games. So they are equal

GTA V is like a 2013 console port.
