Sapphire Radeon RX 480 NITRO+ or MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X

[Dethey]

Hi! Im thinking of buying a new GPU and i have been considering if i should buy the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X or Sapphire Radeon RX 480 NITRO+. I was hoping if i could get some advice who would be the smartest choice.

I play on 1080p. Keep this in mind, the difference here in sweden between those two is around 50$. Both works with my current set up, so i dont have to buy anything else.

Thank you for all answers!

GTX 1060 is slightly better than the RX480 on benchmarks...if u dont have a budget constraint, go with the 1060...

If the GTX 1060 is cheaper, then definitely buy it.

If the RX 480 is cheaper, then it would be worth buying to save the cash. The performance gap percentage-wise between the 1060 & the 480 is less than the average price gap between them (http://www.techspot.com/review/1209-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060/).

Yea, and now i was thinking about both aftermarket. MSI 1060 Gaming X and the Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+. So keep in mind that this isnt the original 😉
