I see.

However it still falls short to GTX1060's performance, judging from your chart there. Hence it is more worthy to get GTX1060 compared to RX480.

yup, its more worth it.
but right now i pro-amd, so i wont buy anything nvidia anymore

GTX1060 FE only available on nVidia online shop.
We don't get FE in our market.

With 14-15% more OC headroom of GTX1060 put into consideration. (vs 3% OC headroom of RX480)

3Dmark Time Spy. nVidia wins.


RoTR. nVidia wins.


Hitman. AMD wins.


Total War. nVidia wins.


Ashes of Singularity. nVidia wins.


Doom (Vulkan). AMD wins.

DX12 score, nVidia 4 : AMD 2.
So how?

Dont forget DOOM, check the last picture, 114 frame vs 80 plus frame?

Those who follow GPU scene closely these days would get excited over vulkan because its going to be used by next gen consoles, phones, and all type of gaming OS, this alone promises high compatibility and stability in terms of performance.

Wonder why consoles can produce Good looking games with puny specs? it is due to Async Compute my friend.

So you can bet your money that future game developers focus on utilizing async compute for their new titles because all the current and upcoming consoles (xbox,sony ps, and nintendo) are using the same technology. We have to follow the trend when buying GPU because these cards are not cheap, long term usability is a must for most gamers.

And wanna know why we should look at the console market to estimate your PC GPU long term value? because console games are leading the gaming market since ages, and game developers already starting to focus on cross platform development rather than hardware specific development that still used by NVIDIA gimpworks.

Trust me, RX480 maybe on par with GTX 1060 right now, just wait for another year and see the latest benchmark, its gonna beat GTX 1060 on every dx 12 titles.

Just like all AMD cards from the previous gens, google more about long term value of AMD cards and you will know.

Good for you, bro.

As for me, I plan on upgrading my GTX970 in the future but still not sure whether to go for GTX1060 or GTX1070.

comparing custom gtx1060 with reference rx480 thats low,
and since when draw=win.

Im talking about now. Not later

Seriously. People should stop this "better later"

Nobody buy now and play later

They buy now. To play now

Tho i might agree with u. Lets just put this to rest

For malaysia. With its pricing

480 is similar and equal to 1060.now.

Later cerita later la. Focus on now.

There is no refence GTX1060, unless you want to buy online from nVidia website.

Draw 404.

Seriously? U compare aftermarket GTX 1060 with aftermarket cooler with ref RX480?



And people already starting to see RX480 with aftermarket coolers matching the R9 390x, aftermarket GTX 1060 still struggling to compete with REF RX 480 in DX12

depends on your cpu.
if your cpu are old and you will not upgrade your cpu in the nearest time, chances are you better with gtx1060.

3rd time I mentioned, no reference GTX1060 card.

Sedapnya syiok sendiri.

which shop can buy graphics card without cc surcharge ah

GEMFIVE

and from the benchmark graph that you show for total war were as below and since when 74 is lower than 73/72. That's not total win.


also there are custom gtx1060 that following reference design except for the aluminum premium cover that F.E have.

I already put there.

It's your problem if you don't read.

dono if my uob card can get 5% cashback or not

People already know pc gamers expect their hardware to evolve over time, its not like console games that stays the same for the next 2-5 years.

When you play pc games, you will expect latest drivers coming almost monthly, and even games being optimized and updated frequently using patches and fixes. This is what makes pc games worthwhile as you can clearly see your hardware improving from time to time.

Im not arguing about who should buy what brand, Im talking about being a better consumer, if you are putting thousands of ringgit on just graphics cards and expect it to performs as is, then you should stick with console gaming as most console gamers only cares about playing the games.

Pc gamers usually want to see that their system is 'futute proof' a term that is a norm among system builders, that is why with current technology and chip architechture, we need to consider AMD.

Unless NVIDIA starts to acknowledge the importance of Async Compute and the importance of working in an open source environment, they are fighting a losing battle.

Dont get me wrong though, their cards are great based from my past experience their cards does not age well and you can expect latest drivers USUALLY gimp your cards when they already launched a new one.

As for now, I'm running my GTX970 on i5-2320 processor. Currently in the process of building a brand new rig with i7-6700k processor. I guess GTX1070 is a suitable choice?
