The time has come for me to upgrade and I have my eyes on those two.
I want to play all the current games at 1080 with ultra settings.
However I would also like to future proof as I don't see myself getting a new graphics card before 2018 quite possibly getting it somewhere around 2019. I still have my I5 2500K and I'll be upgrading that in the following year to an i5 6600k.
The 1060 performs better now in DX11 but I'm wondering by how much, while the RX 480 does extremely well in DX12 and Vulkan type games, and seems a good choice for the future as AMD cards tend to age very well
.
I'll be happy with 60fps stable on ultra at 1080p for DX11 games, I don't really plan on upgrading to 1440p and even if I do I'll probably just end up setting the most demanding settings from ultra to high or medium and again seeing 60fps. But since AMD is doing so well on DX 12 and Vulkan games I'm wondering whether it's the smarter decision for the future, also it does have the extra 2GB of Vram which seems great since games are becoming more and more demanding in that department.
