Rx 480 8gb (ref) vs gtx 1060 6gb

[sai krishna_13]

Actually my psu is antec vp450 so i am considering between these two gpu's

I have a budget of 220$ max
so i am going for used ones like used one's buying on resale on amazon around 210$-220$

So guys help me too choose in between these two i will b playing on 1080p @50-60 fps with textures pack
If the game had!!!

So 6gb vram is sufficient for ultra texture gaming??? Or future proof???
Or should i go with rx 480 8gb and present they are going good with their updates can see improvement in frames and performance!!
So choose me in between these for future proof!!!

What resolution are you gaming at? 6gb is plenty for 1080p, there are very few games that use over 3gb at 1080p. The extra 2gb on the 480 isn't really adding anything.

There are loads of benchmarks out there and thousands of threads on this topic.

Actually you are right
But ultra textures @1080p gaming on wd2 consumes 5.5gb vram in 1060 and 6.5gb vram in rx480
But crimson relive driver's are updating giving some performance boost over past updates and in dx 12 games rx 480 is performing well other than nvidia favoured games!!!
Am i right?
