Is the gtx 1060 really worth £240 when a 4gb rx 480 is only £200?

the 480 4gb version you mean.
Only one winner really isnt there?
Jordan Hall
The really nice thing is that here in the usa the 1060 and 480 have the exact same price to performance ratio ar around 2.6.
So here anyway it doesnt mater which one you buy. The 1060 is more powerful but costs more. Though nvidia isnt riping you off
Andrew Gutierrez
The GTX 1060 is cheaper once you consider the money saved by lower power consumption.
John Gomez
He did say the 4GB 480 you idiot. Are you blind?
Austin Peterson
Ah yes, gotta remember that Lightbulb worth of energy saved by running a 1060 at full load for a year, as opposed to a 480.
Good goyim :^)
Ethan Collins
He did indeed, still a wank gpu though
Noah Barnes
10% increased performance for 20% higher price. What is more important to you?
Xavier Kelly
Well we dont all live at home with mummy and daddy paying the bills.
Carter Reed
Depends how old your cpu is fampai

the 1060 is as low as 229. also fuck 4gb.
Luis Gray
20% price for 7% to 15% difference in DX11 and -10% to -40% difference in DX12/Vulkan?
No.

Could be worse, I could have a pile of shit gpu like you.

The maximum power consumption of the RX 480 is 30 Watt higher than the GTX 1060.
If I have this card running every day eight hours a day at that power (assuming 8 hours sleep, 8 hours work and no travel time and 8 hours straight gaming / 3d rendering) then after one year I will have paid 24,46€(27,14 US$) more in power bills.
(assuming 28 €-cents for a kWh)
a half or a quarter of that power consumption is more likely for most people.
Brody Hughes
At 100% usage
Unlikely
Julian King
The GTX 1060 needs 50W less under load.
The average NEET will spend about 5000 hours per year gaming so this gives a 250kWh/year additional energy consumption.
In total you save about £40 every single year by choosing Nvidia.

>a gpu is more important than intelligence
sure is consumerist in here
Parker Lopez
Isn't this for the manlet edition?
Easton Lee
10/10
Brandon Collins
Well it's better than the 3gb you get with the 1060
Jace Robinson
Neither of them are worth it at current prices.
Nolan Richardson
Not at all, the Rx480 has superior perfomance that is only hinged by nvidia optimization in dx9-11 games, it completely DESTROYS even the 1070 in things like Doom 4 Vulkan abd possibly future titles
Elijah Russell
3gb 1060? link me it, evga one please.
Matthew Martin
No just get the 480
Adam Nguyen
Where?
Wyatt Diaz
480 should be fine i guess. I have an i5 2400 and the 1060 should be better suited to it because overhead

If it weren't for the 2 year warranty, fuck.
Chase Phillips
Good drivers.
Brody Butler
I hate this "money saved" power consumption argument, it's so fucking stupid
WOW I PAID 5 MORE DOLLARS FOR ELECTRICITY BECAUSE MY GPU/CPU USED MORE ENERGY THAN THE OTHER ONE
fuckin retard
Ian Johnson
5 dollars more over the entire life of the card as well.
Jayden Johnson
I thought it was per year?
Joseph Garcia
yeah, I forgot to put that in there
which is why it's retarded, because in 4 years you'll most likely get a new gpu, and if you don't, then wow, you'll have paid 20 more bucks on the electricity!!!
fuck every retard who brings up the whole "THINK OF THE POWER BILLS" argument
Elijah Williams
get this one instead then. 3 year warranty and still £10 cheaper than the cheapest aftermarket 480.

This exact one a friend was going to help me acquire in America, but he wasn't awake at the time and I thought it'd be rude to just ship it to him.
In 3 hours it was out of stock from Newegg, fug.

this one is in stock and has a 5 year warranty. zotac are a good budget brand too.
William Phillips
All I need is some reviews and I might do it. Feel sad at missing my chance for an EVGA 1060 at £200 though.
Levi Cooper
Cant the 4GB version be turned into 8GB like the reference models?
Andrew Martin
That's a very good point.
