MSI RX480 and GTX1060 Gaming X Review

 

[Greenback]

you asked when you showed these on FB which one would we have, at the time I was undecided, but now I'm leaning towards the 1060 it has slightly better performance and less power and heat. If I did it would be the first Nvidia card I have had since the geforce 3

Is womb raider a new VR title? Hard pass haha

 

[NeverBackDown]

Well I guess I already got my answer as I just got my MSI RX480 yesterday

Nice! Enjoy. Waiting for Vega cause the 480s arent good enough for 4k..

Rise of the Womb Raider? noice

Looks like the GTX 980 4k bars have still not been fixed in COH2

I read elsewhere :

DirectX 12 appears to help AMD by both reducing driver overhead and allowing developers to leverage GCN’s formidable asynchronous compute capabilities.

Does this mean that drivers will have less and less impact on fps and quality?
And that, even with cr4p drivers, RX 4x0 cards will shine with DX12, Vulcan, and Metal?

P.S. I'm not a fanboy of either camp.

If these cards are more less equal in performance I would take the 1060 every time time because it cums much cooler. I don't need to introduce and unnecessary heat inho my case that is necessary. :intelwar:
Cheers.

No, you will not be able to get by with "crap" drivers. Think of DX12 as tools, its up to them to use it. Tools do not replace work.
