  • option 1 buy a used gtx 1060 3gb in low price (15K indian rupees) and wait for next gen same laval gpu. 

    Option 2 buy a new gigabyte 1060 6 gb for around 24K indian rupe.

I would get the RX 580 simply because of the extra VRAM even if you won't be using it all since you are gaming at 1080p.

You will be happy with the 580 8gb if it is non-reference cooler design, as you could go freesync

Thanks let me know if I said something useful. Cheers!

The RX 580 is more than enough for 1080p gaming even if new Vega 11 chips are announced.

TBH I would've kept that 380 until the next gens of GPUs release but now that it's done I would go 580 just so you have the option for Freesync.

That was in my mind but i got a good offer from some one that i cant denay, also while playing PUBG, the game keep crashing some time, thats why i deside to sell my gpu, also the money i got from old gpu i can buy a 1060 3 gb gpu with out adding extra to it. That is why am confused alot, should i buy thar 1060 3gb and wait for vega 11 or go for new gpu..
