They are perform pretty much at the same level, it really depends on the game: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlsVC6zST2tqu-EmItGAEAtmcWJmeQiWN

Hi, Regarding 480 and 1060, they are almost 100% evenly matched, I think it's only a matter of preference. The RX480 has more VRAM and better DX12 support, the GTX1060 tends to be the winner in older DX11 games. With both GPUs you can play everything safely with 1080p maxed out. If you ask me...

If you have a freesync monitor than go for the RX480, it's plain obvious. If you really would like to compare RX480 to the GTX1060 check out these in-depth analysis videos with lots of current gen AAA games. The RX480 won't dissapoint...

It depends on the game (game engine). In my opinion, with modern games you would be OK with the fx8300 and rx470. Obviously, the fx has really weak single threaded performance, so with certain titles, you could lose 5-10% performance, but I guess it is totally acceptable. As a reference you can...

Try to reinstall Win10 (again) with English language. I think elbert is on the right path and this is a language or character encoding issue.

Here are some videos with a pretty similar AMD FX CPU, it even has DX11 vs DX12 footage with RX480 vs GTX1060. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlsVC6zST2tpNSIDkwTskAAt2r39JHVFL If I were you, I would go for the RX480, it has more memory and better DX12 performance. In my view, it is just...

Nope, May is just too far away to wait.

My Sapphire 480 is maxing out at 70°C with synthetic gpu loads, fan at max 60%, but its uber quite.

They are really similar in performance, it depends on which games you pick. But personally, I would not recommend a 3GB card in 2017, it simple not future-proof. Games tend to use more VRAM in max settings, so its safer to stay away from the 3GB version.
