What card is better for gaming at 1080p ultra settings to get 60 FPS, I have way he's videos and a lot of comments say 1060 is best and I watched a few old videos 5 months old and they look like they run the same? But then I watched some recent videos and the amd looked like I got quite a few more FPS from the old videos, it would be run on a ryzen 1600 or 1600x would that help give more FPS to the amd card?
Rx 580 or 1060 help

If you go 580, you can get a cheaper freesync monitor by about £250 compared the going gtx 1060 and a G-sync one.
If your not after a monitor in future go Nvidia

There is a £70 difference between the cheapest 6GB GTX 1060 and the 8GB RX580 that I can find anywhere online.
There's just no way you can justify that extra amount. It's the price of a new PSU or SSD drive or another 8GB of RAM.
AMD cards are just badly priced right now and, as others have already stated, unless you are buying a Freesync capable monitor, they cannot be recommended over an nVidia card.

depends how you look at the £70- OP current has a screen so wont be needing Freesnyc unless they wise to upgrade but paying £70 more for Freesync screens that are £200 cheaper- your still saving over £100.
also AMD cards tend to last double the life time that Nvidia cards do.
but hopefully both 580 and 1060 drop in price when the Rumored GTX 1070 Ti rolls out- in theor makes for a perfect miners card

Yea that's a fair point. You can usually expect drivers from AMD to improve the card over time.
Depends on the user. I usually want the new shiny so sell my old cards anyway and move on to the next one.
For me personally £70 is too much as I'm talking about the cheapest, think worst, versions. It gets more pronounced the further up the model versions you go.
Some of the RX 580s are going for £350. You could get a Zotac GTX 1070 for £370 not long ago.

For price comparison only I have selected a whole bunch of GTX 1060s, RX 580s and GTX 1070s.
Here you can see that there are a whole host of GTX 1060s below £250 but only 3 RX 380s under £300.
Significantly there are 2 GTX 1070 cards under £350 which is putting them far too closely priced to the RX 380s. This is probably to do with the incoming GTX 1070Ti that nVidia are hoping to beat the Vega 56 with.
It's just crazy times in the graphics card market with prices all over the place.
The Zotac mini 1070 that I stated as £370 is now even cheaper.

You will need to delete that as its showing a load of competitors...
