RX 580 or GTX 1060

[lighthouse06321]

Hello people! I want to upgrade my GPU. I have to choose between MSI ARMOUR 6GB, RX 580 Nitro+ and Powercolor RX 580 Red Dragon (both 8 GB). Prices of those cards are equal. Which one would you choose and why ?

1060 6GB ...Similar performance , less power hungry:

They will both perform about the same, 1060 is more efficient.

Also consider what video outputs you want if youre going to be running multi monitor.

I think a lot of RX580s are coming with free games if you buy new, could be a reason to go that direction.

If all the same price, then:

If you have a GSync monitor, go with the GTX 1060. If you have a FreeSync monitor, you should lean toward the RX 580, however, Nvidia's newer drivers might allow adaptive refresh on your monitor.

If you do go with AMD, I think the Nitro+ cooling solution is better, and the quick-change fans are convenient should you ever have to replace them. I think the Nitro+ is also clocked slightly faster than the Red Dragon.

The GTX 1060 is more power-efficient, and worth considering since all three cards are the same price.
