RX 580 or GTX 1060

[HelloitsLuke]

Current PC Specs:

i5 8400

Z370 PC Pro

250GB Samsung 850 Evo

1TB WDC Blue

16 GB DDR4 2666 Corsair

 

What is the wiser option if I intend to play these games:

Overwatch

PUBG

Warframe

Maybe some AAA games along the way

PS: I have a 144hz 1080p Freesync monitor and I don't plan to upgrade this anytime soon

RX 580 is generally about 5% faster. if you have/can buy a freesync monitor that will make the 580 a very clear winner.

IIRC they're toe-to-toe in benchmarks, win some lose some.

The 1060 power consumption is a bit lower though (around 50-60W difference).

 

Anyways, I'd prefer the RX580 because FreeSync is a cheap feature.

If you don't have a FreeSync monitor now, you can always get it as a cheap upgrade in the future

If you have a freesync monitor, get RX 580.

 

else if you have a Gsync monitor, get 1060 6gb (why would this happen though?)

 

else if RX580 4GB is more than 5% cheaper than RX 580 8GB and 10% than 1060 6gb, get RX 580 4GB

 

 

else if RX580 8GB is more than 5% cheaper than 1060 6gb, get RX 580 8GB

 

else, get the 1060 6gb

Nah GPU's are expensive af here. the RX 570 cost roughly the same amount as the GTX 1060

1060 is better and can be further OCed, runs cooler, needs less power. Also RX 580 prices are inflated, so what you waste there could be added for a G Sync monitor with no money lost in process.

You already have a FreeSync monitor and don't plan to upgrade it, so get the RX 580.

Have purchased an RX 580! Thank you for your suggestions

[Spikkel]

Please let us know what FPS you're getting with your new card (with what settings) ,are you happy with your purchase?

[HelloitsLuke]

I definitely am!
I'm gunning for high FPS:
For PUBG I'm averaging around 100-110 FPS on Low settings + High Viewing Distance

For Overwatch I'm well above 144 FPS

I've only tested these games so far. And yes I can say I am happy with my purchase  

Although it was on the tad bit expensive cuz hardware here is generally expensive ($320)

The RX 580 is faster than the GTX 1060 in the majority of the games. The only advantage the gtx 1060 has over the rx 580 is power consumption.
