Question About upgrading Rx- 480

[Devin321]

So I have an Rx- 480 on my main PC and I've had trouble with it in the past. I got it refurbished by AMD when a used 480 would get you around $500, but now that crypto mining has declined in trend, I was wondering if I should still sell my GPU and get an NVIDIA 1060 instead. Seems like NVIDIA's 1060 is less prone to a lot of the issues I face with my GPU (6 pin, Temperature, blacking out, loudness of fan). Thanks

What 480 is it? What PSU do you have? 

 

There's no inherent problems with the 480, so the likelihood of two bad ones are very low
