Hello everyone,
I cannot decide which graphic card to get, initially I went for gtx 1060 6gb g1 gaming, but than I see that gtx 1060 3gb preforms about same but is much cheaper. I did a bit research and people say that 3gb won't be enough for upcoming games(future proofing). In that reasearch I casually catch glipse of Rx 480 which reminded me that I have freesync monitor which in combination with that card would be really good. Now I have no idea which card to take. I know gtx 1060 preforms better in dx11 and rx480 in d12, but I cannot see a single reliable sorce about this 2 cards which would help me which one to pick. I would be useing this card for fairly long 6years+. Many people said that for people who change cards frequently gtx 1060 is better choise while rx480 in long run. I don't know why but I am so sceptical of Rx 480, I don't know will AMD improve it via driver updates and will developers massively start making games in dx12&vulkan, some people say AMD is just doing it's marketing for saying that card will improve in time and will have advantage in 'upcoming' dx12 titles. I would apprreciate any output on current user of rx 480(prerformance, temp,noice) because am leaning a little bit to it, mostly because I have freesync monitor. Feel free to comment pros and cons of both cards any advice is appreciated.
