RX 580 if you will get a freesync monitor. 6GB VRAM isnt needed yet as many cards out there only have 4GB and devs try their best to not exceed it, since that will ruin the days of many gamers.

 

MSI's customer service is not as good as Sapphire's, and I'd rather pay for repairs rather than waiting endlessly for RMA or get back something that isnt fixed.

so i can either get the sapphire rx 580 4gb pulse with 12 months warrenty for 245

or the msi gtx 1060 gt6 OC with 36 months warrenty for 275.

 

wich one should i choose? i actually really preffer the amd one because the looks are way better (i got a tempered glass beauty rig) and i can use freesync on my monitor with the amd card.

 

but the 1060 has 6 gb vram (altho the 4 gb vram rx 580 is enough for me) and it has 3 years warrenty. but a lesser quality i think than the amd card.

 

really hard decision. what should i choose?

 

(NO FANBOYS PLEASE. I WANT A HONEST OPINION)
