RX480 vs GTX1060

there was definitely something weird going on in the left side at the end of the video thru the streets,like tiny micro stutters but good to see both perform well.

Vsync is turned off in that video for some reason. Which brings us neatly back to... who plans to hook up their 480 to a Freesync monitor? Could be a deal breaker for some. (Funny how these arguments go round and round in circles isn't it?) :)

Vsync is always of in there videos.

Look at the opening panning shot in the Digital Foundry comparison, the RX 480 has lots of stuttering. A good place to watch is the top left, as the lanterns and neon signs pan across.

Am not seeing it :D both look the same to me and my brother sitting next to me.
 
it seems to be when the camera changes direction quickly you notice it,its like a screen tear but in 2-3 places at the same time.
 
:o All I see is the FPS counter constantly higher in the 480 side...

Videos of this kind have been known to make NVidia fans observe stuttering on the AMD side of the screen, but careful analysis has revealed this to be some sort of psychological response...

:p

Brilliant, nvidia fans are loonies now haha.

I guess all those people commenting on the video itself are wrong too. This is certainly an impressive mass bout of hallucinations.

Perhaps take your eyes off the FPS counter then ;)

I'm no fan of either camp, I'm trying to decide between the two and just pointing out my observations.

To be fair, I think it would be better to use a more stable game that has been around for at least a few months, rather than a fresh release. Deus Ex clearly has all manner of issues which need addressing and could be clouding the comparison.
 
that's not the fps counter..thats the amount of Fanboys Per Second that think the 480 will beat a 1080 in 5 years time when it kicks in :)

(just a joke guys incase of triggering)

No, seriously... If you edit this video and swap the FPS counters making it look like the 1060 is reporting higher frame rates, the stuttering on the top left will disappear!

This is just cool science! :cool:
 
I looked for it and can see it although if it could be the footage. Surely they would have said something like they normally do if they could see that while actually playing. I focused more on the AMD side to see it and it's pretty clear.

I just watched the Nvidia side while not as bad it does not look that smooth either. Probably just the footage making things look worse. Like i say i am sure they would see this with there own eyes and report it in the video if it was there when playing.

All these mystics predicting the 480 lasting for 100 years sure are impressive, can you tell us the lottery numbers whilst you're at it?

Something no one has yet mentioned is that the 1060 promised 980 performance, which it achieves for the most part. The 480 also promised this, which was essentially a complete lie - a 390 beats in in most games!

This is not true.

While the 1060 certainly does hit the stated performance Nvidia claimed pre-release(as did the 1070, and both of which many people rejected and said would never happen and was only 'best case scenario'), the 480 was never claimed to be as fast a 980. Nor is the 390 faster in 'most' games at all. Quite the opposite.

I personally find the 480 quite disappointing performance-wise, but because it cant match or beat a 390X. Compared to a 390, it is definitely better in most cases, if only just in a lot of them.

During the company's livestream event at the Computex 2016 in Taipei, AMD revealed their first Polaris video card. The Radeon RX 480 is claimed to have the performance of today's $500 video cards for just more than half of the price, PCWorld has learned.

So yes, they did claim 980 performance.

Ah right, I'd forgotten about that.

My bad.

Yea, that was BS.

AMD products in general tend to be way overhyped, either by AMD themselves or by fans.

Which is interesting because people tend to consistently downplay expectations for Nvidia products.

That said, the 480 *is* faster than the 390 in just about any game, despite your claim that it was the other way around. Not that this is terribly impressive, but facts are facts.
 
yea a lot of people conveniently forget about all the hype that was promised at that livestream event..always better to undersell and overdeliver.

I was pretty annoyed when I realised as well tbh. I bought a reference card at a low price expecting 980 performance, but got 970 or less instead. Thankfully stock shortages meant I didn't make a loss.

yea did the same regards ref 480 but not too bothered as it was for the kids computer,nvidia were fined for the miss selling of the 970 vram,amd should have been fined the same when it didn't meet the hype..remember that 980 performance was a massive selling point.

well here we are arguing like kids over 5fps lol

no idea about the 1080 as it was out of my price range so never paid any attention to it,what did they do?
