Thank you in advance

strix 1060 6gb

or nitro+ rx 480

are the best choices

they are so close, look how the cards compare on the specific games you want to play

I too agree about Strix and Nitro. Which of those GPUs to get? How is the pricing? Are you gaming at 1080p 60Hz or have FreeSync/G-Sync monitor?

1060 is a great card. but without sli option, and having 2 gig less than 480, i did choose a 480 anytime. dont forget the better dx12 n vulkan perks 😉

Hi there
I will be playing only at full hd like 2k or 1920 X 1080 at freesync or whatever is best for the game and I want more than 60 fps

the two cards are great for 1080p


if you want 60 fps at 1440p you would need to lower settings

Hi there thank you for giving me a option but I just want to play all games more than 60 fps at full hd thats why I asked which card is best RX 480 or GTX 1060 and I need for future proof that is the main thing

Thanks in Advance

you asked about "2k" that is what 1440p is

there is no such thing as future proof

Keep in mind GPU performance can only show what the monitor allows. If you buy a 1080p 60Hz monitor you won't get more than 60fps, and you may lack the improvements that come with G-sync (pricey) and FreeSync (reasonable).

So, when you decide also think about the monitor that you'll use it for or plan to.

"MSI Radeon RX 480 Armor 8GB OC GDDR5"[//i]

^^ that. Or upgrade to the gaming X if you can afford it.

Hi there

The is I will be using my TV which is a LG 43LF510T which is a 43 inch the resolution for this is 1920 X 1080 so I thought of going for RX 480 since it is a bit cheaper than gtx 1060 but games like witcher 3 assasins creed syndicate batman arkham knight are not AMD friendly even crysis 3 I am using windows 10 now so I thought which is best for full hd at DX12 gaming even doom vulcan ?

 

[Susquehannock]

Not sure where you got idea games like Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight are not AMD friendly. Looked at some benchmarks and both rx480 and 1060 run about same.

Doom in Vulkan does provide a big performance boost. Was surprised at frame rate increase when switched my rx480 to it.

[edit]
Wanted to mention AMD cards often have lower CPU usage in certain games. Here is a comparison video with both cards running same Intel processor:
