AMD RADEON RX 580 vs 1060 6gb??
- Thread starter WhereHere1
- Start date
Do you think that RX 590 will be a nice upgrade to my R9 380 or would you offer to wait some more for the 7nm stuff?
From the 380 yes it's a big upgrade.Do you think that RX 590 will be a nice upgrade to my R9 380 or would you offer to wait some more for the 7nm stuff?
Depends on what you want. 1080p max settings for a while or more.
How dare they cater to the majority market with another affordable mid range card.
Yeah i know, its like they are releasing another overclocked 580 which is currently £200 and gaining a few percent boost in fps and charging £300 for it. The Majority of gamers have this performance already, the minority wont buy this as they already have not bought the 480 / 580.
This is one of those things that you don't need to think about if you don't need to think about it.
It's all they have at the moment and it wasn't a surprise.

Well, it is not as bad as Intel's CPU that's basically like Core i +++++ since Sandybridge...and the worst part it you have to upgrade/change your motherboard as well

I've just gone from a 380 to a 580 and yes it's a huge upgrade. If I were you i'd hang on and see what 590 brings, although by the sounds of it and if the past is anything to go by the price/performance ratio will be worse than the 580. I'm using the 580 as a bridge to 7nm Ryzen 2 and 7nm GPU's, when I'll sell the 580 and get a a new CPU, MOBO, GPU and RAM. Right now doesn't seem a great time to be doing a big upgrade.
These 7nm GPUs are little problematic because we can't be sure when they will see the light of the day.
So, it is tempting to get the new RX 590, but still somehow the upgrade doesn't look all that huge:

You mean "with another affordable mid-range card that performs virtually identical to the previous two affordable mid-range cards they released"
I'm a mid-range buyer and I'm not impressed.
290->390->480->580->590 = basically no progression, at all.

Yeah, but the customers who troll AMD by buying GeForces are responsible for this. AMD can't pour cash and time all the time for some things which are not bought.
But AMD card were pretty much sold out during the mining boom. So how were they not brought?
Ok so you really think that by buying an NVidia MSI 970 back in September 2014 for the grand price of £281.99
I am responsible for AMD releasing the 390 (which of course is the refresh of the 290), the 480 series, the refresh of that the 580 series and now the 590 rerefresh. yeah ok......you keep believing that.
Design process of GPUs takes many years, everything should be traced back to the best buys HD 4890 and HD 5870. How many people ever had one? To take a look at the market share at that time... it shows AMD was still lagging behind.
So you resurrect an old thread to troll us with '580/590 is brill', and because I don't buy AMD, I'm trolling them?
Guess what, I haven't rated them as an option because they have been mia at the performance level Iv'e wanted for years now.
AMD was responsible by being mismanaged for years, make great products at a great price like they used to in the pre Fury days-people will throw money at them, poor products that arrive later than Nv's don't get bought, and when mining hits it's peak-the least said the better as AMD couldn't care less for gamers, they are just just like Nv-it's all about the money!
But that's not true - Radeons always lagged in performance - HD 3870 to 8800 GTX/Ultra, HD 4890 to GTX 280, R9 390X to GTX 980Ti, and so on and so for.

I had a 4870x2 and a 5870.
Both times ATI was on top when I bought.
I want to upgrade my Vega 64, but there's nothing to upgrade to on AMD side, and it's already 14 months old, and any Nvidia upgrade will cause me some serious financial harm.
