1060- Yes or No?

[KyRiEiSaVaGe]

It looks like my case can't fit any 480s inside of it due to limited space. Would getting a 1060 really be that bad? Everyone i've asked has said to go for the 480 but what if Nvidia pulls up their dx 12 performance with drivers? Amd isn't even doing like CRAZY well in dx12 it's only around a 6-10 fps increase in fps for amd compared to nvidia. Would I be making a huge mistake buying a 1060? Should I wait for amd's vega lineup?

if a 480 doesn't fit in your computer what makes you think a 1060 will?

Because I have the 750ti which fits perfectly.

That 1060 is the same size as the 750ti so it will fit for sure..

The GTX 1060 still has an edge on the RX 480. As long as you get the 6GB version. Even games that have DX12 support, the two cards are pretty much tied. Don't worry about it, if that card works, go for it. And for a heads up, most games that have both a DX11 and DX12 version, perform better in DX11 for both cards (DX12 might sometimes give more FPS for the 480, but with a lot more stuttering issues).
