Need urgent Advice: Nvdia gtx970 vs gtx 1060 or rx480

[Arham_saif]

I am looking to upgrade my GTX750 Card and I don't know whether i should buy a gtx 970, 1060 or rx480.My last budget is GTX 1060 only.
My system configration
AMD fx8350
Gigabyte 990fx gaming MoBO
16GB ram
GTX 750ti

The 1060 6gb or 480 8gb would be my choice. Not a lot between those cards. Both better than the 3.5gb 970 tho..

 

[frank_hnd]

both the GTX1060 and RX480 are great choices for your rig.
if you can find the GTX970 for a reasonable cheaper price than the 2 mentioned above then go with it. you probably play games that don't require more than 4GB VRAM or play at 1080p, which the 970 is a good card for.

if paying full price, obviously go with the newer cards.

1060 is the best choice, make sure you overclock your processor


the bottleneck will be bad, but at least you can take it with you when you upgrade your setup

Thank you friend.. but still i don't get the xact meaning of bottleneck in our term.

Thank you friend.. but still i don't get the xact meaning of bottleneck in our term.

it means the 1060 will not be able to give it's full performance because it will be bottlenecked by your processor


your processor is not good enough to keep up with it

I don't have enough budget for i7. then which is best processor for me?

 

[13thmonkey]

There isn't really a better CPU upgrade for you. It'll only be a small impact, and not in every game.

1060 is about 20% faster than the 480.

you already have the best processor your motherboard can handle

like i posted earlier, make sure you overclock it

but which upgrade made my system better?? please suggest me
should i need to change my amd to i5? or motherboard?

 

[RobCrezz]

i5 6500 + 16gb ddr4, H170 motherboard would be better.

hello! i5 is better than amd fx8350???

 

[13thmonkey]

hello! i5 is better than amd fx8350???

yes

 

[Arham_saif]

hello! i5 is better than amd fx8350???

yes

but when i purchased it.everyone is with the favour of amd??? what wrong with amd in comparison to i5?

Not sure who everyone is. But the i5s have always been very good, under certain scenarios the AMD is faster, but on average an i5 wins, when the AMDs came out they were already struggling against current i5s, it's been 4 years with little change.

The unfortunate situation is that there are very loud voices (on both sides, and on GPU's as well as CPUs) that proclaim that the solution that they follow is 'the best'.

This is a set of benchmarks for an 8350 vs a 3570k (4years old) http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/697?vs=701 on some highly threaded activities the AMD wins, the intel take all of the gaming and single core wins

Bring that foward to the latest i5's http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/697?vs=1544 The intel wins except on zipping.

Whomever 'everyone' was, they were using their heart/opinion to advice you and not data.

However.

The bottleneck will probably be slight, try it and see, it may only be an issue in CPU constrained games.

and one morw thing bro.. is there any difference between amd 8320,8350,8370??? what is the major or worth difference between them??

Just the standard clock speed. If you are overclocking then the 8320 is best value.

bro actually i don't know the exact meaning of over clocking in our term. can you explain me what is overclocking and what it actually meant to us? please.

 

[RobCrezz]

Overclocking is when you increase the clock speed of the cpu (in this case) beyond the standard speed.

If you set a 8320 to the same clock speed as the 8370, it will perform the same.

then what is the benefit of purchasing 8350 or 8370??

basically nothing if you overclock


this is why people do it
