Radeon RX 570 or GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, Who's The Budget King?

2019-01-17
hey what's up - I'm just working on that big benchmark video for the r-tx 20 60 mm okay there's a bit of a problem you know I think few people will think you should have compared the rx 517 with the three give you like gtx 1060 rather than the 1050 TI but the RX 570 is usually cheaper though at 7:52 other moment yeah yeah yeah I know but people are arguing that the 1063 gigabyte isn't that much more expensive it's faster so you cherry-pick the comparison to make a em deal with better alright alright s to include the three gigabyte 1060 with the rx 570 and the GTX 1050 jay-ar yeah good idea and just to cover your bases because you know these tests only take like 5 minutes how about you also include the 6 gigabyte 1060 and a gigabyte rx 580 welcome back to however unboxed it is time to reevaluate the value of the radiant Erik's 570 all over again because apparently I didn't do it right the first time I think a lot of people were caught out by the fact that the RX 570 is indeed cheaper than the GTX 1050 I right now I'll admit it's quite surprising given that the 570 walks all over the 1050 Ti but that is the current situation and really I should have made this comparison sooner back when pricing dropped back down to earth during the mining crisis where gamers couldn't really get their hands on any kind of radeon GPU we turned to the 3 gigabyte gtx 1060 as its limited memory buffer made it pretty much useless for any and all mining operations this meant pricing held pretty steady as a result it was the best value mid-range option for quite some time today though the 3 gigabyte gtx 1060 is commonly found at or around the $200 u.s. MSRP at the time of making this video the cheapest card on you egg was priced at exactly $200 u.s. and there were five options available at that price the RX 570 on the other hand there three models priced at 150 dollars us with multiple options available for the 170 dollar US MSRP meanwhile the GTX 1050 TI which recently got destroyed and ahead take comparison with the 570 costs 170 dollars u.s. though there is a model on sale for a hundred and fifty-five dollars but it's a very ordinary model with a pretty rubbish cooler another standout option right now and perhaps the only real competition for the rx 570 is the rx 580 there's an 8 gigabyte power color model selling for just $180 us right now with a few models priced at between 200 and 210 dollars u.s. meanwhile the fully fledged 6 gigabyte 1060 s typically cost around 240 to 250 dollars u.s. anyway today we'll be comparing all of these GPUs in a 36 game battle at 1080p and 1440p to see how they compare in terms of performance and then of course cost per frame as was the case last time we only going to discuss the results for a dozen of the games and then jump into our performance breakdown as usual our corsair GPU test rig built inside the crystal series 570 x has been used and inside we have a core i 9 1900 k clocked at 5 gigahertz with 32 gigabytes of ddr4 3,200 memory as for the drivers were again using adrenalin 2019 Edition nineteen point one point one for the Radeon GPUs and then the game ready for 1735 WH QL drivers for the GeForce GPUs okay so with all that out of the way let's get into the results like last time I'll be keeping the order of the graphics cards static so they won't be ordered from slowest to fastest I've also kept the red shadow for the Radeon GPUs and then the green shadow for the NVIDIA GPUs so starting with shut off the Tomb Raider we see at the RX 570 is able to edge out the GTX 1063 gigabyte here though the margin is very small meanwhile the RX 580 is a good bit faster than the 60 gigabyte 1060 providing 9% more frames at 1080p next up we have strange Brigade and this is an amazingly well optimised game and although it is an AMD sponsored title it still works very well with NVIDIA Hardware here the RX 570 outpaced the three gigabyte GTX 1060 as well as the six key byte model and then we have the gtx 1050 ETI trailing by a country mile the RX 570 was just 6% slower than the RX 5 AE so a pretty good result there battlefield 5 is another game where these affordable radio and GPS take up very well to the competition the RX 580 for example blitz the six gigabyte 1060 while the RX 570 just manage to outpace the three gigabyte 1060 at 1080p but did beat it quite comfortably at 1440p basically the 570 was on par with the six gigabyte 1060 in this title Sniper Elite 4 is another game where the Radeon GPUs do very well here the RX 570 match the 1% low performance of the 3G about 1060 while beating it for the average frame rate quite convincingly at 1080p I might add the RX 580 also beat the 6 gigabyte 1060 by convincing margin and it was also 18% faster than the 570 at turn EP I haven't said much about the gtx 1050 TI for the last few games and while probably not too much that needs to be said here performance in monster hunter world is extremely competitive between the RX 575 80 and 1060 models the three gigabyte 1060 just edged out the RX 570 while the RX 580 just beat the six gigabyte 1060 so bang for your buck the 570 stacks up very well moving on to warframe and we see at terapy that the AMD GPUs enjoy slightly better frame time performance though the 1060 s did provide the best average frame rates frame time performance did improved for the GeForce GPUs at 1440p and here the 3d about 1060 beats the RX 570 by a pretty comfortable margin the just cause for performance was also quite competitive here the rx 517 GTX 1063 gigabyte were basically neck-and-neck while the RX 580 was 7% faster than the 6 gigabyte 1060 when looking at the average frame rate grand theft auto 5 provided the rx 570 with its smallest win over the GTX 1050 TI in our previous video so it's no surprise to find the GTX 1060 pulling ahead here basically even the three gigabyte version was able to beat the rx 580 though the frame time performance was much the same this meant the six year by 1060 was hands down the fastest GPU tested in this title assassin's creed Odyssey is another title that doesn't work well with AMD Hardware despite the fact that it is an AMD sponsored title the rx 580 gets trounced by the six gigabyte 1060 though having said that the three gigabyte 1060 does struggle with some pretty ugly frame time results at 1440p and even 1080p moving on to the hitman results here we find quite competitive performance the three gigabyte 1060 did edged ahead of the RX v 7t at 1080p though it also fell behind at 1440p the RX 580 on the other hand was able to beat this six figure by 1060 at 1080p and it did so quite comfortably at 1440p the Radeon GPUs have always done very well in Rainbow six siege and here we see the rx 580 pretty well thrashing the 60 gigabyte GTX 1060 though the three gigabyte model stacks up pretty well against the rx 570 now I should note that the ultra quality priests that I test with uses a render scale of 50 not 50% just 50 and what this means is 1920 by 1080 becomes 13 60 by 764 the game uses temporal upscaling so you end up with an image that's rescaled to the output resolution anyway I used to test with these settings as this is the default option for the ultra quality preset but quite a few Rainbow six siege players complain that our frame rates were too high not realizing that they had manually configured these options the maximum in-game preset actually sets the render scale about 30% lower than the output resolution anyway to keep the Rainbow six players happy I now select the ultra preset then manually adjust the render scale to 100 each and every time this makes the game an extreme vram user at turn AP the game calls for at least six and a half gigabytes of memory and this is the reason why the three gigabyte 1060 and even the 4 gigabyte RX 570 get hit pretty hard here it's not often that the 8 gigabyte rx5 Hattie offers over 40% more performance than the 4 gigabyte rx 570 at 1080p I didn't check these numbers quite a few times but that is the situation here when using those settings in the end the RX 580 beats the 6 q by 1060 while the 3 gigabyte 1016 RX 570 are comparable across the two tested resolutions the last game we're going to discuss the results for is World of Tanks and here all GPUs performed very well at 1080p that said the GTX 1060 three and six cubic models were able to quite easily beat the Radeon competition particularly at 1080p the three gigabyte 1060 for example was 22% faster than the rx 570 and this margin was reduced to just 16 percent at 1440p so still a pretty solid win here for Nvidia still as I said overall the performance was still very good using either the Radeon or GTX 1060 series GPUs okay so previously we found the Radeon rx 570 to be on average of 43 percent faster than geforce gtx 1050 TI when calculating the averages on a per game basis and then obviously averaging those figures by the number of games tested but since I'm not comparing two GPUs head-to-head but rather five GPUs I won't calculate the same way at least not for this initial look at performance I'll show those the game breakdown stuff a little later on so I'm for now I'm just simply going to take the FPS data from all the games than average those figures and this sees the RX 570 come out on top by a 41% margin so there's a one to two percent margin of error there depending on which way we work the data out just just a bit of a rounding error the three gigabyte gtx 1060 was on average four percent faster than the RX 570 across the 36 games tested and giving it a 3 FPS advantage on average then we see a further 14 percent jump in performance the RX 580 a 'king about gtx 1066 gigabyte both of which averaged 82 FPS across the 36 game sample this made the 8 gigabyte rx 580 on average 19% faster than the 4G by rx 570 and this makes sense given that the RX 5 ad packs 13% more cores with an 8% core clock speed advantage and on top of that we saw a few instances where having twice the vram was also advantageous before moving on here's a quick breakdown of how the RX 570 compares to the other GPUs tested on a per game basis in the last video we saw how it dominated the gtx 1050 TI across all 36 games and as I said earlier when calculating the percentage difference per game we end up with a 43% performance advantage in favor of the our X 570 due to a rounding error compared to the GTX 1063 gigabyte the RX 570 was just 4% slower on average and here you can clearly see where the radio and GPU got the better of the three gigabyte 1060 and then of course where the GeForce GPU came out on top the RX 570 enjoyed big wins in Forza horizon 4 and hitman wild lost by a convincing margin in Total War saga GTA 5 and fortnight as you might expect the performance deficit is extended we compared to the 60 gigabyte GTX 1060 here the RX 570 was 14% slower on average and its only real win came in strange Brigade then finally we have a comparison with the rx 580 and here the 570 was 14% slower on average and was for the most part between 10 and 16 percent slower right so that's how they stack up and cross a wide range of games and those are certainly in the margins you can typically expect a seed the only question left to address now is how they stack up in terms of value and I'll answer that one we will be checking out some cost per frame figures please note the prices quoted here are in US Dollars and they were taken from Newegg I ignored the absolute lowest price if there was just a single model available and I believe this is an accurate and fair representation of the current market prices so at a current retail price of a hundred and fifty dollars the RX 570 costs just 2 dollars and 17 cents per frame but even if we use the hundred and seventy dollar MSRP it still only comes out to two dollars and 46 cents per frame making it 11 percent cheaper than the three gigabyte gtx 1060 the RX 580 is also exceptional value at the current $190 us asking price it's just 6 percent more costly per frame than the rx 570 and an impressive 21% cheaper than the 6 gigabyte gtx 1060 then at the bottom of the graph we see just how bad the gtx 1050 is at the current asking price at 170 dollars it works out to be almost 60% more costly per frame than the RX 570 just quickly before wrapping up the cost per frame stuff here is a look at prices down under I realize only about 4% of those watching this video are fellow Australians but looking at how the margins compare different region might interest more than just the Aussies interestingly here in Australia the RX 570 is even better value at least relative to the competition that said there are only three retailers selling models for $200 and the rest seem to be more like two hundred and fifty dollars but even so at that price the 570 still only cost three dollars and 62 cents per frame making it ten percent cheaper than the rx 580 and three gigabyte gtx 1060 on that note with a three gigabyte 1060 and eight gigabyte RX 580 offering the same cost per frame you'd surely be better off spending $40 more on the radio and GPU for the simple fact that it comes with more than twice as much vram so taking all that into account we find that once again if you're looking at spending well under $200 us on a graphics card it is hard to go past those 150 dollar RX 5 70s and even here in Australia there are some serious rx 570 bargains to be had unless in video starts offering retailers discounts and there really isn't much point buying a GeForce graphics card if you have less than $300 u.s. to spend at this point in time I really recommend avoiding the three gigabyte 1060 the extremely limited via RAM buffer is already proving to be a bit of a problem and you can expect it to become even more a problem as we move forward upcoming titles in 2019 are probably going to give it a bit of a hard time even at 1080p and we see even four gigabytes really is right on the edge for budget graphics cards and for this reason I'd recommend snapping up an aching about rx 580 if you can stretch the budget anyway that is going to do it for this one next I promise I will have a 36 game GeForce RTX 2060 benchmark and have to say that one's looking a bit more impressive than I was expecting so anyway keep an eye out for that video it won't be too long before it's on the channel and that is going to do it for this
