sorry to have "another one of these" threads, but having the same debate right now between 1060 and 480...
watched many videos about it in the past few months, but seems pricing in canada is a bit different than in the states (or perhaps has just changed globally recently?)
at the moment, here in canada I could get this rx 480 8gb:
http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-rx-480-g1-8gb-0a-135081.htm?promoid=1308 for $294.99 (w/Doom)
or
this gtx 1060 6gb:
http://www.ncix.com/detail/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1060-g1-0b-133566.htm?promoid=1308 for $364.99
or hell, this 470 8gb:
http://www.ncix.com/detail/msi-radeon-rx-470-armor-00-138122.htm?promoid=1308 for $239.99 (after MIR w/Hitman)
OR we have a r9 390 8gb sitting on a shelf at work I could probably offer to buy for maybe $200??
sigh... coming off gtx 670 2gb SLI I am hungry for video ram, so don't really want to go for a 4GB/3GB card..
I do "only" play at 1080p60 as I like to play on my TV most of the time.
games I'd like to play at very high/ultra settings:
-witcher 3
-deus ex: mankind divided
-rise of the tomb raider
-doom
-batman arkham knight (gameworks no worky on amd cards?)
-mass effect andromeda (not out yet obviously..)
-vr eventually...
after digging through all the reviews and whatnot my gut tells me to go for the rx 470, or 480 but I'm worried they won't be good in the long-run because of A) drivers (haven't had a Radeon card since they were ATI branded!) B) gameworks c) VR
on the other hand, the 1060 seems expensive for the performance and lacks SLI, so would it be better to save for a 1070??
so, anyone want to chime in? slow week?
cheers!
