GTX 1060 Vs. RX 480 - What's The Story?

2016-09-13
so it's time to take a look at the two hottest graphics cards out there at the moment the RX 480 and the GTX 1060 though what your definition of hot maybe may be different to mine welcome to tech city this is brian coming to you guys today with an overdue comparison of the GTX 1060 versus the RX for 18 now without wasting any more time let's get on with those benchmarks Oh me you so coming out of those benchmarks we could see that the GTX 1060 did score a clear victory over the RX 480 though in some of those titles like Deus Ex mankind the RX 480 did score a victory over the GTX 1060 also with that Vulcan benchmarking doumitt was great to see that the RX 480 was getting some pretty decent gains when we switched over to the API there was getting around about fifteen percent and this was with my benchmarks which were all apples to apples in this video so what about the actual cards themselves though yes I am using the GTX 1060 Strix which I believe does have a factory overclocked out of the box though that being said I did do both these cards to their max overclocks and I did have that our X 480 cranked up with the fan speeds so temperatures wouldn't be an issue let's have a listen so besides that horrid noise I only managed to get an extra 70 megahertz out of the RX 480 it was a pretty bad overclocker and the GTX 1060 I had around here too that thing was pretty bad as well only scored an extra hundred megahertz on the overclock there so both these guards were pretty bad overclockers and that showed in the results now let's talk about the price of these graphs cards both the 1060 and the Irish for Eddie are coming in at around over two hundred fifty dollars now in my opinion this is a disappointing price level I would like to see both these cards hanging around about two hundred dollars which is where I think they belong I think after two years after the gtx 970 was released at three hundred and thirty dollars I think we kind of deserve it as tech enthusiasts to get these things under two hundred dollars if possible or around that level considering that some of these cars are coming in around two hundred eighty dollars even up to three hundred dollars I don't think you're getting much price performance there or even better yet if you're into buying used parts like I am you can go and pick up a GTX 970 or an are 93 94 around about 150 to 200 dollars the one thing I will say about the GTX 1060 was when we switched over to dx11 to Vulcan and also dx12 we saw kind of reduced performance there which was kind of an eye opener since this grab Scott is meant to have dx12 support and it is supposedly meant to have asynchronous support now what it boils down to with the GTX 1016 the rs4 it is that they're both good cards you can't go wrong with either though I do think they are a little bit overpriced for what they are at the moment even though I'm going to get that argument in the comments like they're really good value for money its better days money than a GTX 970 it's been two years brothers what are we waiting for is tech enthusiasts we're just gonna keep getting trickled out I don't know but you guys let me know in the comment section below what you think about both these Graham shots and I'll get back to you as soon as I can if you like this video please hit that like button and I'll catch you in the next tech video very soon peace out for now bye
