should i get the rx 480

[bigjohnny]

i ve been reading about the card producing low fps in games which is making me worry about getting the card or should i get the gtx 1060

The GTX 1060 6GB and RX480 8GB are roughly equal. The GTX 1060 can probably be overclocked a bit more than a 480 but realistically both will give you the same performance. Both are great 1080p cards.

the RX 480 and the GTX 1060 6GB are fairly similar cards on the performance scale. In DX11 the GTX 1060 wins and in DX12 the RX 480 wins. So I would not worry to much about performance of the RX 480. Personally I prefer nvidia cards because driver wise they seem to get the most performance out of their cards very early whereas AMD cards tend to get more performance over time which leads to the AMD vs Nvida handicapping debate when new series launch (ie the "story" is nvidia handicaps there old cards when new ones launch...a myth in my experience that is perpetuated because nvida does extract so much performance early on). Either card will serve you well so unless your stuck in one vendors eco system (ie freesync/gsync.physx etc) I would get what every you feel would serve you best.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from bigjohnny : "should i get the rx 480"

i ve been reading about the card producing low fps in games which is making me worry about getting the card or should i get the gtx 1060.i want to play current games like watch dogs 2,dishonored 2, bf1, titanfall 2, hitman at 1080p 60+fps and old games too like bf3, bf4, gta v

the rx 480 will it have issues playing older games like gta v, ac syndicate, bf3, bf4 which are all dx11 supported only.And does performance significantly increase with dx12

No issues with rx 480 and dx11 games. I am running Windows 7 so only dx11 available to me. Big advantage comes running Vulkan API. Gives very significant boost in performance.

The RX 480 is roughly equal to a GTX 1060. It will not have any 'issues' with any games.

Benchmarks start on this page and keep going. You only need to look at averages.

I did have issues with battlefield1 sold it after 3 weeks and bought a gtx 1070, zero problems now!

Well you moved up to another level of card. AMD doesn't have anything that competes with the 1070. And I'd love to know what issues you had that aren't being reported by the tech community in general. I'd be willing to bet it wasn't an issue with the card itself.

"issues"?what kind of issues and with which card?

 

[Deleted member 217926]

There are no 'issues'. Whatever his problem was was specific to him. Based on his past posts most of his problem was in trying to play BF1 with a Haswell based i3 and expecting it to be smooth.

i think i will go for the rx 480 because of longevity or maybe i will wait for more benchmarks in the coming months
