So I Was Building A Rig And Started Looking For A Graphics Card. I Ended Up With 2 : GTX 980ti 6GB G1 Gaming Or An RX 580 8GB
Each for About 400$ Dollars(Best You Can Get)
So I Was Wondering Which One Should I Get And How Well Will It Compliment A Ryzen 5 1600
Thanks!

The GTX 980 Ti is about 32% faster than the GTX 1060 6GB. That is a significant performance difference. To me, that is worth the extra $100.

The game FPS average difference is the important metric in the following comparisons.

980ti is basically a 1070 its quite a bit faster than a 580. And the extra 2GB when you alredy have 6 isnt the biggest deal.

I have a 980ti and you can play most games t 4k with decent settings. and it runs 1440p well over 60fps on most games
 
I would not get the RX 580 right now for $400. It's supposed to be a ~$250 card but ethereum mining has driven the cost up. Have you looked at GTX1070s? Their cost has gone up some too and can be difficult to find in stock (of course both these factors depend on your country), but right now this one is listed at $417:

I was in your situation a couple months ago and wanted 1070 performance but the prices were bad so I stepped up to a 1080. But a 1070 will be about 980ti levels of performance with more VRAM and lower power draw

EDIT: Ninja'd on the link. That other one may be better than the Mini
 
A 980ti is 400$ And Is Not Supported Now, Will It Still Run Newer Games Better Than 1060 6gb.
And Is The Performance Difference Large Enough To Spend an Extra 100$ On A 980ti
Ps: 10606gb is new with warranty while it's almost impossible to find a new 980ti for400$ in Pakistan.
 


the 1060 simply don't have the grunt to compete on the same level as GTX980ti. it doesn't matter if the game is new or not. and 980ti still properly supported in nvidia main driver and will still be for a very long time. the fermi based GPU which is almost 7 years old right now still supported by nvidia. if you still have SLI setup from that generation SLI will still work on the latest games as long as the said game have SLI profile from nvidia.

the only issue with buying used 980ti will be warranty. what resolution did you play at?
