they are about the same performance. Choose whatever is cheaper You can ask this subreddit if you wish

I would say that make sure you are buying 1060 6GB vs the 3GB. Nvidia did a shady thing by nerfing the 3GB to have less shaders, cores etc and naming it the 1060……. They send 6GB for review first.

just go with the gtx 1060 and forget the rest of it all !! and the gc-rx580 is not that great or good . but will say if not too bad in price go with the msi gtx 1060 at least you can use the msi app for gaming and overclocking . which the app does everything all by itself . and you can even change the lights on most of their cards . from flashing to breathing if you like but no the color of it . or if you like you can even turn the light on the video card off

edit to fix spelling and add pic

Rx 580 is not that great or good? And yet it slightly outperforms a 1060 while being cheaper…

To OP, both are excellent options, so choose the cheapest. For Gw2, they’re in fact overkill even at 1440p.

The 580 is generally a better choice unless you can get a 1060 for cheaper or power is a concern. It seems to depend on what games you play.

Also you can use msi afterburner with AMD cards and it’s not like MSI doesn’t sell AMD cards so not sure what’s that about…. It doesn’t even have to be MSI.

I agree with the first bit, but not so much the second bit. Especially with a 144Hz monitor my 390 (which is relatively close to a 480/580) is holding me back somewhat in non-CPU limited areas.

That being said, yeah, pretty much buy whatever is cheaper between a 580 and a 1060 6GB. Just don’t buy a 1060 3GB

ty guys , but what about the video memory 6 gb vs 8 gb of rx 580 ? will i have a problem in future with 1060 ? there r games wich consume 5.5 gb v ram now like gta

Especially at 1080P, both 6GB and 8GB of VRAM should be fine for the foreseeable future

It’s not the gpu holding you from getting 144fps, but the cpu and indirectly dx9.

It’s a bit of everything. A better GPU would help but so would a better CPU and possibly faster RAM

Unlikely at 1080p at least. 4gb ram cards still going strong chances are by the time this is a peoblem the catd will have run out of gas and you would need to dial down settings. But one can’t ecpect a $250 card to be on top forever.

Of course one will point at the 1060 3 gb which does limit its potential though in reality it is more due to the rx 470 and more so 570 thst are much better choices. It is aloso a weaker card which is lame that people still try to pass it off with 1060 but no ram designation.

To be fair though, it does seem like, the 480 and 580 will continue to pull ahead. At the end of the day though you will probably be better off thinking about which brand has the best support as well as which card looks better.
