AMD VS NVIDIA - GTX 1060 vs RX 480!

2016-07-19
what's up world welcome back to tikka tomorrow I'm Elric your host and today we've got something interesting on the table now a few weeks back we all know that the RX 40 came out from AMD and it was touted as the budget King but like usual there's always competition so now in videos released their budget card the brand-new GTX 1060 so now let's see who really is the budget King let the battle begin so first off folks let's compare specs the GTX 1060 comes with 1280 CUDA cores however the our X 480 comes with 2,304 stream processors the RAM in the GTX 1060 is 6 gigabytes of gddr5 and on the RX 40 the card that we tested is the 8 gigabyte model also featuring gddr5 memory and as far as the core and Boo speeds go of the gtx 1060 has a 1,500 base clock with a boost to 1700 the RX 4 80 has 1120 base at a boost to 12 66 and the memory speed on both is exactly the same both cards feature 8 gigabytes per second so they're equal in that respect now as far as the overclocking goes didn't get a whole lot of time to spend on that but our preliminary results are actually incredible without even increasing the voltage we've been able to get 200 megahertz over the core and the memory 700 megahertz higher and this is actually really great scaling for this card and with further time I'm sure can be pushed even farther another thing you guys might notice is the gtx 1060 does not do sli there's no sli finger however the RX 480 does do crossfire power requirements are very very low on both cards now you have a 150 watts is what they're recommending for the RX 480 but you guys saw that we were running that with a 500 watt power supply with absolutely no problems at all and now we're seeing the same thing with the gtx 1060 it only requires a 120 watts of power draw pretty awesome and both cards also feature a single 6 pin power connector on their base models depending on your system how big a card is may come into play so let's check that out as well the GTX 1060 size is in at 10 inches long by 4 inches high and features a dual slot design the RX 480 is 9.5 inches long by 4 inches high and also features a dual slot design and real quick before we get into the battle let's check out the test system and for those of you wondering which drivers do we use we use the absolute latest releases from both Nvidia and AMD and now it's time to rock out to the benchmark zone let's go so alright there you guys have it the numbers are out and I gotta say that I'm pretty surprised because you guys can see that even though the GTX 1060 is winning it's only by a wee bit now the price these cards will be $2.99 for the Founders Edition and 249 for aftermarket partner cards which we have a bunch coming for you guys to check out in the following week but at the end of the day I gotta say these cards are both around the $249 price range and although the Nvidia card only has six gigabytes of RAM compared to the eight gigabytes it's on the RX 480 you guys can see these numbers are real close so if you're an AMD fan out there and you love Andy stuff obviously you're going to want to stick with the rx 40 for your budget card but if you're an Nvidia diehard fan hey you can see this card wins by just the OE margin I'm over you guys been watching teka tomorrow like usual down below like button love information all these cars feed to purchasers check out for yourself and follow us this week as we show you massive gameplay on the gtx 1060 see you here on the channel
