This is pretty simple but i can't to find an answer to it:
I made a list of graphics cards and i can pick and buy only one of them. But i don't know what differs between brands, models and makers. Does anything change besides adding "Nitro" or "Gaming" to the name of the card? And how about Sapphire vs Gigabyte for example, does anythin change there?
Here is the list: http://imgur.com/a/m76iz

I hope you guys can help me pick one!
Thank you for your time!
 
The names are all branding.
Realistically you can choose whichever you want from the 1060 or 480 brackets. (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and Sapphire have great support, only real reason to choose between any of them other than price).
The 480 should offer better DX12 performance at the moment, but the 1060 offers more straight up performance. That tradeoff is up to you, I would choose the cheapest 1060 or 480.
 
I saw some benchmarks and RX 480 only wins in Hitman DX12, there were other DX12 games but the 1060 surpassed the RX 480 in those. Anyways the extra Vram help you so I'd say go for the Sapphire Nitro+ Rx 480, faster than the Gigabyte one.
 


easy choice

the nitro rx 480 for 232
