Nvidia and Intel old fat men are just behind your door, you won't be so smug for long little girl.
Easton Carter
Wait for the benchmarks faggot
Nathaniel Hill
Amada pleases Nvidia employees so AMD can get R&D funds!
Adam Adams
why, 1060 is going to win and everyone knows it
its just a matter of OP being an impatient faggot or not

>192 bit bus
>driver support for a year only
Even if the GTX 1060 sounds good on paper right now, the RX 480 will be a better card in the long term. If you don't plan to upgrade often you get cucked by Nvidia since they abandon all video cards where as AMD will support older card with their drivers.
Daniel Ramirez
GTX 1060
AYYMD cards don't even support Feature Level 12_1 so they're not DX12 GPUs
Henry King
bullshit: the post
Christian Perez
I wish Nvidia cards had ATI simple looks.
Jordan Foster
It's true though, start comparing benchmarks over the past 3-4 years and you'll see that a lot of Nvidia's cards are slower than AMD cards from the same generation on games. Nvidia optimizes their shit for a while but as soon as some new architecture comes about they don't bother with the old cards.
Jacob Wright
referance coolers.
jesus christ, when will you fags learn?
and isnt the 1060 ref like close to 350$
Angel Sanchez
>midrange shit
Adam Campbell
The 1060 looks more promising than the 480.
Christian Morales
Can you wait a week or so for reviews on the 1060 to make a more educated decision?
Hudson Rodriguez
AMD does that too. They just haven't had a new architecture for years.
Brandon Lewis
bit bus
Why do people keep bringing this up? Is 8gb/s on a 256-bit bus somehow superior to 8gb/s on a 192-bit bus?
Gabriel Cooper
the one with the highest bit bus obviously
Dominic Richardson
I wonder if the reason why AMD bothers with old cards is because their last generation is full of rebrands from old cards. . .

Fuck yes. I'd still buy the Nano on Firesale tho.

All I can see is the shield on that cooler struggling to keep the card within a two slot width.
Fat.

RX 480 for OpenGL-based rendering and compute stuff.
GTX 1060 for games and CUDA-based rendering and compute stuff.
So probably GTX 1060 for most people. The 4GB 480 will have better perf/$ but much worse efficiency/thermals/overclock potential.

>Is 8gb/s on a 256-bit bus somehow superior to 8gb/s on a 192-bit bus?
Not in actual benchmarks, but 256 is a bigger number than 192 so it helps assuage AMD buyers' remorse.
Asher Torres
I FEEL LIKE RAJA
Nathan Bell
Kind of like AMD's "unprecedented" 8gb/s on the 480 which is the same as the 8gbs on the 1070?
Landon Martin
AMD
Jacob Carter
Yes. 8Gb/s is the RAM speed. More channels = more aggregate speed. 192bit is three 64 bit channels. 256 bit is four 64 bit channels.
Dylan Gomez
"unprecedented" meant more like 8GB for $199
Alexander White
Can confirm
my GTX 560ti
Still gets updated
Benjamin Butler
Gotta grasp for a straw. I think that AMD might be able to make a better card if they used a smaller MC. That saves a lot of power. For a card at the level of 480, 6GB of memory is good enough and losing 2x8gbit chips and the MCs is a pretty good deal for power consumption.
Zachary Davis
I'll be picking up a 1060, personally. The lack of proprietary AMD drivers for Linux and the open source ones being FPS locked to the refresh rate of the monitor doesn't fit well with my needs.
Aiden Murphy
Would upgrading from a GTX 580 to either be a big difference in practice?
Jackson Hall
>"unprecedented" meant more like 8GB for $199
No. It was precisely for 8gb/s.
>As you know, we continuously tune our GPUs in order to maximize their performance within their given power envelopes and the speed of the memory interface, which in this case is an unprecedented 8Gbps for GDDR5.

Because each *chip* is 8gb/s
The bus width dictates how many of those chips can communicate with the GPU at *once*
For some games/ scenarios, it can make a difference.
