Gtx 1060 vs Rx 480

[PoorPCGamer]

So I have been looking for a graphics card that will last me a long time that is 100 to 200. So I came upon a store that sells them used the Rx 480 are 150 and the gtx 1060 is 130 I just don't know which one do I got for I know that the 1060 is faster but the 480 is better for lasting longer at time since it has more vram I just don't know which card should I go for since I am on a budget and want to stay with this card for 2+ years.

I'm more on the Nvidia side as I feel they have better drivers then AMD. If you're not going to be gaming at 4k and ultra you will not be using 8gb of vram, and most likely never will in the next 2+ years you have it. So I say go for the 1060, but that's my call.

Yea i plan to be only playing at 1080p but I worry as I wanna play games at high and ultra at 1080p and some games are already using 4gb of vram will 6gb last long enough

1060 6gb > 480 > 1060 3gb

even with my GTX970 4GB so far there is no game that i play that 4GB is not enough at 1080p right now. you don't have to max out everything. texture is one thing that can eat a lot of VRAM. most often high or even very high is already very good. sometimes even medium can be very acceptable (this is the case with shadow of mordor). so 6GB should be fine.
