Nope, in Germany and France these cards are a little cheaper. So it can be completely legit.I have also seen dx 12 benchmarks in which the rx 480 performs better (hitman.ashes of singularity).
Anyway, the Nvidia 1060 is out now but most stores don't have them in stock.. They costs almost 400 euro at the moment and are about 7% faster.
In DirectX 12 and Vulkan games the performance difference is even smaller, as AMD card's support Asynchronous Shaders. Nvidia card's use a software trick to support it, but that is not as fast as on AMD card's.
So if I were you I'd still go for the RX 480.
250? in my country it's like 280 right now..In sites which import from other countries around 250 from sites like amazon etc 300
This card is just shy of 300 euro if you get the 8GB version. I doubt we will see better cards in this price range this year.In the country where i live(Italy)AMD released only the 8gb and the taxes has increased much the price...
Disclaimer: I can't predict the future with 100% accuracy
Btw: You could even go for the 4GB version for ~230 euro, apparently most of them have 8GB memory which is disabled with a software trick. As such you can unlock it to 8GB quite easily.
Although the next batch will probably have only 4GB on the hardware and then this won't work any more. All in all you can't be 100 % sure if the 4GB version can be unlocked to an 8GB version so I suggest doing a bit of research on this if you want to consider this option.
Personally I would only do that if I was going to get the 4GB version anyway, and then see it as a little extra if it unlocks.
In all my life i've had only amd cards but only because they were cheaper and usually better than the nvidia cards(for this in 2012 i bought the hd 7870 which is quite low nowdays).My personal opinion:
- The 480 is a great card, with an awesome price performance ratio. Although you may want to wait for versions with customized coolers which will be quieter and cool better.
- The Nvidia 1060 has had a paper launch, it will probably take a few months until you can actually buy it in store.
Since I already have a Radeon 290 I don't really get any performance benefits from upgrading to a RX 480. As such I'll wait till AMD brings out their new high end "Vega" video cards with HBM2 memory. (Depending on the price, I'm not planning on spending more than 300-400 euro at a video card.)
I will never buy an Nvidia card, because:
1. We had the Halo active camouflage issue before the 1.10 patch.
Nvidia could have fixed it with drivers but didn't bother. (I personally informed them back in 2008, but they were to prideful to fix it and as such we had to resort to third party hacks.. Apparently customer experience is not important, no? )
Here is my actual post on their forum: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/390247/halo-combat-evolved-active-camouflage-bug-bug-exists-sins-realise-of-game/
Excuse my way of writing, as it was shit back when I was 14
2. Nvidia is a scumbag company (Their "the way it's meant to be played" campaign is complete bullshit. Not to mention their "Game Works" program that only exist of propriety technology which is designed to creates worse performance for AMD and older Nvidia card's. Nvidia even forces smaller developers and pays the larger ones to make use of "Game Works' so that people will buy a new Nvidia card..
Nvidia might make good video cards, but I won't buy their products because their philosophy is to make as much money as possible by ruining the PC gaming industry.
AMD is like the complete opposite, they actually makes open source stuff and do things which makes the whole gaming industry move forward. For example TressFX and Mantle which resulted in DirectX 12 and Vulkan (Which replaces OpenGL).
