So, im going to buy a new graphics card. i was going to buy Randeon RX 480 4GB OC. but i just got an email saying that the 1060 3gb is on discount. ( https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01KADYYT4/?tag=pcp09-21 ) so is this graphics card a must buy? or should i go with the 480 anyways?

The prize difference is:
Asus GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB Dual Video Card - €239.90
Asus Radeon RX 480 Dual OC - € 256,30

4GB of VRAM should be your minimum standard right now, even at 1920x1080 resolution.

The GTX 1060 3GB hasn't just had its VRAM cut in half, it's had other performance compromises too.

The RX 480 4GB gets my recommendation. From a price/performance standpoint, it's tough to beat.
The 1060 3GB is a 10% cut down of the 1060 and about on par with the 480 4GB. I suggest getting which ever offers the best price. Also there is the fact the 480 can be crossfired where the 1060 have no sli. Also seems the 480 does better in dx12.

Currently the rx 480 does better than the 1060 at DX12 game as for now until they get a dx12 patch which may take a while. And what kind of res do you game at the extra 2gb may help you if you are doing higher res gaming.
