As someone who owns a RX480 and GTX1050:

 - Both cards "just work" (I actually like AMDs software more than Geforce Experience)

 - The GTX1050 is giving me more of a headache (the CUDA debugger reporting random memory access errors in both Linux and Windows)

 

As for the RX580 vs GTX1060:

My vote goes to the GTX1060 because of power consumption (RX580 is AMD going back to R9 290X days)

I used to not care about power consumption but moving from a R9 290X to a RX480 was a nice improvement.

I dont care about the power bill but it means my room gets less hot and my graphics card produces less noise (because the fan spins slower).

Well, card temps/noise are also dependent on the cooler -- not all 1060s run cooler/quieter than all 580s. You can argue room temperature, but a single 580 vs. a single 1060 isn't going to have a drastic impact especially if you have any form of AC. And in terms of power consumption, you're talking about a 60 watt difference over what will probably be less than 4 hrs/day, which would cost like $12/year.

Like I said, I dont care about the difference in power bill.

With the exact same cooler, the gtx1060 will always be quieter and cooler than the rx580.

And its not normal to have AC in every country.

I'd get whatever card is cheaper. The 1060 or 580... Pray the card is not a POS, that's all. I've had better luck in games with Nvidia. The only really good AMD card I had was the 7850. It's obsolete now and my GTX 970 really showed me how much better of a card it was but that 7850 overclocked like a beast.

no like ,crashing on games and showing artifacts

Can't you spend a bit more to get a 1070?

the gpu has some problem that will take the pc to crash and have artifacts both on games and windows

Is it still under warranty? Sounds like you got a bad card

I got a GTX 1060 awhile back, but I wish I'd gotten a 480.

???

 

WHY? It's still an awesome card. It's not like switching over to a 480 will yield noticeable gains (or in some cases, losses).

I'm not going to switch now.  I'm just saying I wish I'd done things differently.  I can't imagine I'll ever be able to afford a G-Sync monitor, but I could have bought a FreeSync one.

The STRIX is overpriced then, how much does the cheapest 1070 cost?

EVGA is the best, get the 1070 ACX for $350, it's definitely worth it!

EVGA and MSI are both excellent brands.  Just make sure you buy a card with at least 2 fans.  The single fan ones overheat.

IMO, it is worth it. And don't waste money on the STRIX, get the EVGA one

Do you have another GPU? I mean, I wouldnt just go buying another GPU after witnessing the SAME exact issue with two different GPUs, there has to be some underlying cause to it. What is your PSU btw?
