    GTX 1060 Vs RX 480 - head to head showdown

    This. Does anyone really thinks that ID Software deliberately choose to not include the required support for Nvidia cards with the Vulkan API?

    GTX 1060

    It does user less power and runs cooler, indeed, but in what world is the 1060 much faster than the 480? It is ahead on DX11, behind on DX12 and much slower on Doom + Vulkan.

    GTX 1060

    Not in DX12, though. Also find weird that Vulkan benchmarks seem to be MIA.

    Offical OcUK GTX1060 review thread

    http://youtu.be/no_NBTivfgY So it's better than the RX 480 in DX11, worse in most DX12 games (apart from ROTTR)...with a much higher clock than the AMD card, i expected more. i wonder why they didn't benchmark Doom with Vulkan as well. So this really is a matter of choice if you want to use...

    SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!

    Well, a Tri-X is a different beast compared to the Twin Frozr, so there's that. On a side note, i'm pondering if i'm better off with trying to watercool the thing with the Corsair HG10 + an H55. So, is it still the case that the Nitro+ will ship on the 22nd?

    You're free to ask how many times you want and it would be wise of the staff to reply, as it's good customer service, but i couldn't help to notice the impatience. Anyway, good luck with the wait :) Decisions, decisions. Leaning towards the Fury, just trying to think if the difference in...

    3D Mark Time Spy not using true A-Sync, Maxwell A-Sync switched off!

    Nah, just head over to the Steam forums. It's over 9000 over there. :rolleyes: And charging and arm and a leg for that. Trust me, i loved my old 660, but NVIDIA card prices are getting ridiculous. At least one vendor is trying to bring acceptable performance for the masses. And it's not...

    3D Mark Time Spy not using true A-Sync, Maxwell A-Sync switched off!

    But when you skip one of the MAJOR features of the new API because it might downgrade performance or not run at all on one of the vendors, things start to look suspicious. As Ashes showed before and Doom is showing with Vulkan now, proper async compute (with true parallelism) will be part of...

    SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!

    And this, folks, illustrates the patience of millenials. Gotta love the 21st century... Back on topic, i'm really torn between investing on a higher tier card (1070/980Ti/Fury X/Fury Nano) or just buying a RX480 and waiting for HBM2 cards. Can't really decide what should i buy to replace...

    3D Mark Time Spy not using true A-Sync, Maxwell A-Sync switched off!

    If you're not implementing the latest and supported DX12 feature set, how can you claim it's a DX12 benchmark? It's simple as that.

    1070 or 1080 for 1440p gaming.

    1070 should be plenty for 1440p and saves you a lot.

    ** AMD BACK IN THE GAME: PRICE DROP EXCLUSIVE TO OcUK!! **

    Man, don't waste your time. He didn't even bother replying to my comment about differences between HBM and GDDR5 and keeps repeating the same (mis)information about 4GB on the Fury not being enough. No idea what people gain from doing stuff like that. You must be joking, right? Now if you were...

    SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (WORLD FIRST) !!!

    Please stop spreading mis-information like that, you can't directly compare HBM with GDDR5 or even GDDR5X. If memory can be moved much faster (and on a much wider bus as well) you're not going to see the same spikes in usage, even with the same assets / textures being used, which means you can...

    GTX 1060

    I hope your former maths teacher isn't reading this, otherwise you might get to be the next one using the donkey hat... 1120 (base clock) -> 1350 (usually the maximum stable clock with reference model) is approximately a 20.5% increase.

    It's funny, because the more i read about the 1060, the more i lean towards buying a custom 480.

    Official OcUK RX480 4GB and 8GB review thread

    Some interesting findings from our German friends at Computerbase: https://www.computerbase.de/2016-06/radeon-rx-480-test/12/#abschnitt_viel_potenzial_fuer_undervoltage_bei_der_rx_480 Basically, with some undervolting, the card starts showing it true potential. So ~390X performance and using...
