580 or 1060?

[Taway]

I can ant decide wether to buy the RX 580 or the GTX 1060(4gb and 6gb respectively).Most benchmarks I've seen have them pretty even. Are there other factors that gives one a leg up over the other?

[yathis]

Im not familiar with the comparison but from what I read here, 1060 is the way to go

[Tigervolcano76]

are u considering buying another in the future for crossfire cause you cant use 2 1060s together but u can with the rx580

Depends on what you need it for. 1060 6GB has (obviously) 2 more GB than the 580, and would do better for some high quality textures. 580 in some games is just a better performer.

there is an 8gb model for rx 580

How the companies behind the GPU's operate might also change some opinions. I'd go for the 580.

Doesn't the 580 have 8gb of vram and 4gb of vram? AKA just like the 3 and 6gb on the 1060s

rx580 is better than 1060 in newer games, also has better performance in DX12 and Vulcan.

Well, I just want to play high end games at a high FPS (Fallout 4, Skyrim, GTA V).  I don't plan on doing crossfire/SLI anytime soon.

Are you going to videp editing anytime soon if not get the RX 580 if so get the 1060 for Cuda exlaration

Well then it's the 4gb 580 vs the 3gb 1060

Otherwise it wouldn't be a fair comparison

Ive seen benchmarks of the 4gb 580 and the 6gb 1060 and they were VERY close (~1-6 FPS difference).

[Tigervolcano76]

on newegg its quite a bit cheaper for 1060 40-50$

I know they are, but the 1060 has 2 variants, the lower end and higher end, just like the 580, so if you want to get the lower end 580, then you compare to the lower end 1060, otherwise it isnt a fair comparison

 

IMO: The 580 is better. Just like AMD aims for, the better price to performance ratio. So if the 4gb 580 gets 1-6 less fps, then it has a better price to performance compared to the 6gb 1060.

The 580 has OpenCL, and they're pretty much equivalent so that's not a good argument

@Taway

 

580 beats the 1060 in the majority of titles. Watch the below and make the decision yourself.

 

EDIT: Btw each has 2 models so don't compare a 4GB 580 to a 6GB 1060, the equivalent is the 3GB 1060 (cut down cuda cores too not just lacking VRAM).

The 580 8GB however is what competes with the 6GB 1060.

That's true, wasn't much of a difference in sony vegas. Just looked it up for premiere pro, apparently it's a pretty big difference

Question is: 4 or 8gb and which aftermarket variant are you getting?

Free trail or pay $70 upfront for one system
