wait for the non reference cards for higher overclocks and better cooling.

They're already here

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202221

But out of stock as soon as shipments arrive

I can't really wait actually.
I RMA'd my old card and I'm left with no GPU for now.

It's a good one at least?

Sapphire if you undervolt it, nitro backplate is simple, non gaymur styled and fits any case.

They are pretty much the best AMD partner

Why would you undervolt a card?

GTX

Aren't bitcoin or etherium (whatever that shit is) buying these up?

Gee i dunno maybe some people want to hit 1.3ghz advertised without the famous AMD hair dryer throttling effect kicking in

Never buy reference, as for the rest, you get what you pay for.

I got the sapphire. Its not really any different from the reference model just has sapphire branding.

1060 tbqhfamily

>No crossfire
>480 buttfuck the 1060 on any DX12 / Vulkan game
>Yet it's more expensive

No way Jose

Get the 1060 it's cheaper

It isn't.
Also the 480 is better.

pcworld.com/article/3098825/components-graphics/sapphire-nitro-rx-480-review-polaris-rethought-and-refined.html

Its $50 more for at most 7 fps more and in some cases less than the 480. Not worth it.

Crossfire is trash but Nvidia has SLI so if you want to be a retard and run two mid level cards instead of a single highend card you can do it with the 1060 as well.

I'm pretty sure the 1060 doesn't have SLI.

>mfw want to upgrade but still stuck to a VGA monitor
I really need to save up dosh asap.

buy a 1060

No.

The 1060 aib is £3 (three) more expensive than a reference 480 8gb and over £30 less than a 480 8gb aib. Not to mention the 480 is inferior in 90% of benchmarks.

Nice graph that doesn't tell me what its benching.

Here have this graph.

>synthetic benchmarks

I guess that's why the 480 preforms better in Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

>inb4 directx12 cheats

Who else /470/?

I had two Sapphire cards, a 5770 and a 7870. Never gave me any problems

PowerColor Red Devil. Best cooler and is unlocked.

A 480 is the best card you can buy for a simple reason

>8GB > 6GB

that's all you need to know.

Are you stupid or just trolling? Have you never seen a techpowerup relative performance chart before? There isn't a single synthetic benchmark in there. It's like 20 popular games tested and the averages taken.

Because it's not intended to be seen outside of the article, read the article if you're a dumb faggot that has never seen a techpowerup benchmark methodology

Are 8GBs a common thing for games to use nowadays?
I'm planning to get one but I'm staying at 1080p for the moment so I'm not sure if it might be overkill. I'll probably still get it for futureproofing but I'm curious anyway.

If it's not designed to be seen outside the article then why did he post it? Sounds like you're not so smart.

People buying pascal and not being a 1080 is doomed. 1070 and 1060 is alreadly shown that cant handle DX 12 neither Vulkan, the 1080 with its horse power will last until Volta comes and Nvidia starts gimping it.

Depend, do you use high-res texture packs and lots of mods?

If you do, then the more VRAM the better.

You should want more than 8 going forward.

It is good if you use more than one monitor, if you want to try super resolution, etc, but a game that will use all that memory in 1080p is yet to be seen,

I'm so glad he posted the article instead of just a shitty picture.

It can be seen outside the article. It's for people who don't want or understand the specifics and want a simple chart comparison between all the cards. Only someone dense in the head like won't understand what a relative performance chart is.

Because everyone here except you have read at least one techpowerup article and knows their methodology, so no one complains about "hurr durr what does this mean". This is a video game forum for fans of video games and accessories, not a facebook group where you have to educate each one of the normie faggots because their only experience with vidya is Tetris and Call of Duty

Sapphire atually have the hottest and noisier custom 400 series

>1060 is 10% faster than 480 overall
>RX 480 have 40 fps ahead 1060 on DOOM

This relativity is bulshit and you know it.

I'll ask for probably the 1000th time and still haven't been given any concrete evidence of gimping.

Got any evidence for me?

The games they benchmark are complete bullshit. Who the fuck cares about games like battlefield 3? Why is that game even in the benchmark suite?

Next you are going to tell me that I should take the OpenGL benchmarks at 4k resolution seriously.

Not really, I've always been stupid lazy with modding anything. The most experience I have with it is dragging files to the game directory and some very basic shit in NV.
Still, part of the reason I haven't bothered is also because my current GPU is shit and can't handle graphic mods anyway, so this could change that.

That's what I figured, might as well go for 8 gigs even though I'm not gonna use them immediately.

I'm still on the process of figuring out PC building. As of now I've only ever used vanilla one monitor, regular ass cases and a simple desk to house them. I'll probably get further into the more advanced shit sometime down the road.

it doesn't. only the 1070 and 1080, and you can only do 2 way SLI.

Because it's very stable game and a reliable benchmark to test the differences between different gpu. He even explains this in his reviews hence why he uses bf3 for all his overclocking too.

too bad games dont use vulcan that much. That's literally the only reason

There is literally no way to benchmark vulkan or dx12 yet because there's no fcat support. Benchmarks taken so far in dx12 have all been with internal benchmarks that the developers give with the game. Games like doom don't have any internal benchmark so reviewers would normally use fraps to do a benchmarking run between 2 points or use fcat to get accurate measurements of framerate and frametimes during a benchmark run yet none of the are supported with dx12 or vulkan. Don't blame the benchmarkers for something they can't properly do.

>XFX
>MSI

when will this meme die? those two brands are the fucking absolute worst

you either go Sapphire or Gigabyte

The 1060 can do dx12 multi adapter.

Frame rates are nice, but frame rates for games I actually want to play is better. I don't think anyone who actually plays the battlefield series bothers with the old editions.

MSI.

Nitro is shit and has shit performance, don't get it.

just got my rx 480 red devil today. it's ugly as sin and just BARELY fits inside my case but i'm pretty much satisfied.

Wtf are you talking about.

Less power usage, improved temperatures, in some cases improved performance if the boost clock can be maintained.

MSI

He can't test every game that everyone wants to play. I think he's got a good mixed choice of popular (and stable in performance) AAA titles there which would give an accurate measurement of how each gpu performs. You forget that he can't just test all the latest games either eg deus ex which is broken as fuck right now. If he tested deus ex it wouldn't give an accurate portrayal of a gpus full capability because we all know it's a buggy mess right now which needs to be patched asap. It would be misleading if he uses games like that.

MSI is actually the best model, believe it or not. runs both cooler and quieter than the nitro.

Yeah but it's the reference model.

Educate yourself before you post. The 1060 can do sli but under dx12 with discrete multi adapter.


wccftech.com/directx-12-multiadapter-technology-discrete-integrated-gpus-work-coherently-demo-shows-big-performance-gains/


gamersnexus.net/guides/2519-gtx-1060-sli-benchmark-in-ashes-multi-gpu

what? no it isn't.
dx12 multi adapter is not sli, and the 1060 can do sli but not the gimped 3GB version.

Are you legit stupid? Any gpu in existence can use dx12 discrete multi gpu. The 1060 6gb and 3gb can both use this. Go and make stupid and uneducated posts somewhere else, retard.

Is logical increments still a good site to reference?

>AMD

you're a fucking idiot who can't read apparently

discrete multi-gpu =/= sli, you can't even do sli on dx12 m8. discrete multi-gpu works w/ both AMD, nvidia, and even intel iGPU with no restrictions. sli does not.

as for the 1060 3GB version, there's no fucking sli bridge on the card.
techpowerup.com/223883/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-doesnt-support-sli-reference-pcb-difficult-to-mod

>AMD
>480 dogshit card

Are you fucking retarded? The 1060 is better in every category than that piece of AMD shit; and it's still a $250 gpu.

If you're not a poorfag piece of shit, the 1070 is the best value per dollar future proof card that you can purchase.

>hurr, 480 has more value per dollareedoo

Until you factor in AMD drivers. Until you realize that dx12 didn't it. Until you realize that xfire didn't fix it.

Stop throwing away your money on dog shit, bargain bin hardware.

Sli = the universal term for putting 2 nvidia cards together. It's fucking lingo you retard. I'm not literally talking about sli with an sli bridge.

There's no sli bridge on the 6gb card either you utter spastic. Jesus Christ go and educate yourself before you keep posting these stupid replies.

>Sli = the universal term for putting 2 nvidia cards together. It's fucking lingo you retard.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Link_Interface
>Scalable Link Interface (SLI) is a brand name for a multi-GPU technology developed by NVIDIA for linking two or more video cards together to produce a single output. SLI is an algorithm of parallel processing for computer graphics, meant to increase the processing power available for graphics.

it's not lingo
it's specifically disabled in dx12 and vulkan
it's specific technology nvidia developed

Using a 5 year old game as a bench mark is a fucking joke. That goes for Crisis 1 as well, which is why nobody uses that joke anymore.

Yes

Your an assclown just trying to fit in

>it's not lingo

I was using it as a lingo term you retard. Dual gpu is associated with the wording "sli" now. People even use it when talking about 2 amd card in crossfire. It's become a lingo term for dual gpu in any situation. I'm sorry you were too stupid to understand that though.

>it's specifically disabled in dx12 and vulkan

As is crossfire in those same games. It's nothing different.

>it's specific technology nvidia developed

See the first bit of this post as to why I used it.


Also why aren't you mentioning the 1060 6gb having sli bridges any more? Are you too much of a pussy to admit you were wrong?

>I was using it as a lingo term you retard.
You were using the term wrong, retard

>Dual gpu is associated with the wording "sli" now. People even use it when talking about 2 amd card in crossfire.
No, they do not, retard.

>It's become a lingo term for dual gpu in any situation.
This is also wrong, crossfire is not the same as SLi, retard

what a fucking retarded post, apply yourself stupid fuck

>Crossfire is trash
>SLI somehow isn't

neck it

I have the Vapor-X 290 and while the noise is CYCLONE TIER on the maximum fan rotation, it never ever uses it. I think you'd need to have a seriously fucked up, badly ventilated system for it to ever need to speed up that much.

SLI/xfire is DOG SHIT for gaming. Consider your monitor's native resolution, and select the SINGLE gpu that best suits it.

1080p = gtx1060
1440p = gtx1070
4k = gtx1080

The 480 is just more AMD trash with all your favorite AMD driver problems. Their shtick about dual 480s is smoke blown so hard up your ass that you have smoke rings flying out of your ears.

Did you mean CRT? I don't think using a VGA connection impacts image quality at all, but I might be wrong.

>You were using the term wrong, retard
>using a lingo phrase is wrong

No. I was using it just fine.

>No, they do not, retard.

Uh, yes they do. Only people who actually understand the difference between sli and crossfire call them different. Explain to me why there are thousands of kids on steam asking if they can "sli" their radeon card then.

>This is also wrong, crossfire is not the same as SLi, retard

I didn't imply they were the same you bellend.

Still too much of a pussy to admit you were wrong about the 1060 6gb having sli compatibly then? Stay mad son.

I'm sorry, but even Crossfire not having actual support in games it does scales much better than any SLI configuration to date.

>want to upgrade my 2011 PC
>remember that games are all console ports so no point

>tfw still no EVGA GTX 1060 SC in my 3rd world country
Fuck, I am already edging for an upgrade since I'm using a 750Ti on a 768p resolution, is MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X any good?

VGA severely limits your choice in resolution.

...

1080p 144Hz = 1070
1440p 144Hz = 1080
4K 60Hz High-Ultra = Titan

Console is dying a slow, but very sure, death.

All that's going to remain in Nintendo. Xbone has already announced they're not making any more consoles, and Sony just got bought out.

Forget the games, there are basically no decent gpu cards to buy. Anybody who is buying a non HBM card at this point is throwing away his money on old tech.

1060 is more than enough for any settings/Hz at 1080p.

>The 480 is just more AMD trash with all your favorite AMD driver problems.

Meme spouting at its finest.

Then go buy one. Waste your money on hardware designed to be cheap bullshit.

>Can't even get stable 60fps in TW3
>more than enough
whatever helps you sleep at night, brotendo

The card is overkill for 1080p. If you have framerate issues, it's because you fucked up your rig.

Not sure about that, user. The 960 struggled back then and still struggles now at 1080p, only worse because they will gimp it harder.

How is the 960 relevant? Was the 980 doomed because the 780 and the 680 both struggled at 1080p? What the fuck are you on about?

>using one of the most taxing games of all time as a reference

The fact that you needed a fury or 980 ti to get an always consistent 60 fps with everything maxed out which cost over $500 but is now close to achievable with a $250 gtx 1060 proves how good this card is. All it needs is a small oc to get a locked 60. At stock clocks it's averages about 57 fps which is like one shadow or detail setting turned down one notch to get a solid 60.

>1440p

Oh good, another test at a resolution neither card was designed for you sure convinced me.

Still waiting for that proof of gimping..

Oh wait, he doesn't have any proof :(

>>Herp derp I feel like I'm right so I'm gonna just say you're wrong DERP
