[SOLVED] RX580 or GTX1060

[Ternex]

Hey guys!
I am in the middle of buying a GPU for my new system.
At the moment i have 2 options:
Powercolor RX580 Reddevil OC 8gb;
Rog Strix OC GTX1060 6gb.

Due to strict budget limitations, those are my options.

Which one of these would be better for gaming?

Thank You in advance, people!

They are about the same in regards to performance. What is the EXACT model or series of your power supply? That might easily be the most telling point to making a decision.

The RX 580 has become slightly better, thanks to driver improvements.

What's the difference in price between the 1660 and 1660 super? If it's 20 bux go for the 1660 super.

I have experience with the rx580 8g .and gtx1060 they are solid 1080 resolution cards. They will run new games on medium setting at 60fps .

Like stated if you could save up or wait a few months and get a 1660 super or ti to be a bit more future proof. Buy once cry once. Why spend 200 now and 200 next year when you can spend 250 and be good for two years .

Right. But it's not a major, significant difference that can't be looked past if the cost difference is significant, and it might be if the OP needs a new PSU for the RX580 but doesn't for the GTX 1660, and that might be the case since the GTX 1660 will pretty easily run on a decent 430-450w power supply and the RX580 really NEEDS a decent 550w unit.

Ill be getting at least 600w PSU anyway.
Is a 1660 or 1660super a better option than both of my stated options?

I second the 580 (8GB) it has matured better and will give you more power then a 1060 if you can handle the PSU requirement

Yes, by a long shot. The 1660 Super is a really capable 1080p card.
