470/480/570/580/1060 how do they stack up on each other?

[Andreas Mellis]

I haven't really followed the new 570s and 580s, so i'd like an update on their performance. Thanks for the replies

The 500 generation of Radeon RX cards are just over clocks of their 400 generation counterparts. Expect each one to be roughly 10% faster than before.

RX 580 = GTX 1060
RX 480 < GTX 1060

 

[Sakkura]

580 >= 1060 (6GB) >= 480 > 570 > 470 ~= 1060 (3GB)

(the 1060 3GB is hard to rank because it can perform well in many games, and then run into a brick wall in some games that use more than 3GB VRAM)

... and that brick wall can make a card that normally beats a GTX-1050Ti hands down, get soundly beaten by it.

(The 1060 3GB is also different in more than just RAM... the 3GB model's GPU has been cut down compared to the one placed in the 1060 6GB... leaving your only clue, without looking at specs, to be the amount of RAM as to the difference.)

580 >= 1060 6gb > 480 > 1060 3gb >= 570 > 470

Then there are instances where...

580 >= 1060 6gb > 480 > 570 > 470 > 1050Ti > 1060 3GB

Got any benchmarks showing that? I would surprised if theres many games that would be heavily restricted by 3gb of vram at this level of performance.

not likely in any scenario, the difference in performance is too great


on average it trades blows with a 570

The GeForce GTX 1060 3GB does occasionally fall behind the 1050Ti when it's 3GB buffer becomes a bottleneck. Check out the benchmarks section for the RX 580 review by Tomshardware:

Ah yeah with Doom. I suspect its a particular setting pushing the vram too high.

 

[amdrx480]

Majority of popular games gtx 1060 wins as they are optimised by nvidia and in dx12 amd wins with ASync Compute. Its likely to change in future.

A measly 3GB could prove to limit current titles, even at 1920x1080.

- Tom's Hardware - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Card Roundup, MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 3G

And in titles like Doom, Hitman, and to a lesser extent, Rise of the Tomb Raider, the 3GB GeForce takes care of itself by running out of memory, even at 1920x1080. If you aren’t careful to manage the 1060’s detail settings, Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050 Ti sometimes ends up faster thanks to its 4GB of GDDR5.

<Quotes and sources showing the opposite of the popular opinion>

Yeah. Several people matter-of-factly claimed that the 1060 3GB was never slower than the 1050Ti. To be fair though, they're 95% right. For all intents and purposes, I have to agree that GTX 1060 3GB > GTX 1050Ti

True, except under certain conditions as already outlined.

Not really true. Its almost completely balanced in dx12 games, some favour the 480 some favour 1060. Pascal arch can do async compute, even though its not the defining factor.

Seriously ? both have different ways of compute and games are ported from consoles.
