Radeon RX 480 

I have an XFX RX 480 GTR, a gold chip, using bios of rx 580 1405mhz, 2150mhz mem, undervolt-12, underpowerlimit -10, and the card runs at 61~64 C, at max power usage 108w. Take a look: https://youtu.be/zCzyNgj2-s8

Here is your unbiased answer read above It is in my opinion the better and will trans nicely with ryzen and and am4 If you can wait for about a 3 to 4 months new card will be released with 12.5 Tflops 512 gb memory band width and a clock speed of 1900 MHz now this is rumored but it is very close to the true specs it trashed the gtx 1080 running an old Fiji driver which is a 2 yr old driver! I cannot wait for them to optimize the driver once they do I guess they will release it has been mentioned to me it will be priced around the 500.00 price point which is good for us because Nvidia is ridiculously overpriced and seem to not advancing in new advancement such as Vulkan and DX12 and are happy to sit back the dollars rather than give the public a bang for there back which seems to be AMD new marketing performance and Quality at a reasonable price everybody likes to criticize AMD but without them we would be at the mercy of Nvidia and Intel and RX 480 is a Great little card that has not peeked out its performance and is and will be relevant in 3 yrs were as 1060 will be done in the next year as AAA titles come favoring the cross platform of Vulkan and the advance details of DX12 that is were in my opinion is where we are headed not hi clock rates to muscle through DX 11 at 4K!

The truth Is I have an HIS Radeon RX 480 IceQ X2 8 GB Roaring and have it overclocked stable at 1410 MHz with a +50 Mv cor voltage core increase and increase memory voltage 9000Mhz Increased Fan curve can barely here the fans at 70% I plaid Doom for 2 hrs reaching between 65 & 69 degrees playing 1440p at 48 to 56 FPS smooth. This is one bad ass card! and as far as I know is the fastest stable running air cooled on the market so in my opinion these guy do not rate there GPU's honestly! This is a 9.5 not 8.2 and I own XFX card as as well it is a good card but can't run as fast!

RX 480 is currently better at DX12 and Vulkan, while the GTX 1060 only gains a 2-5 FPS performance boost from them, the RX 480 gains a ~40% performance boost. Which mean that as of right now, AAA games are better on the RX 480, DOOM and such will run better on DX12 while the GTX 1060 still dominates all the older games on DX11. http://wccftech.com/rx-480-gtx-1060-dx12-vulkan-tested/ Personally, I'd get the RX 480 just to be future proof, right now I have an almost all AMD PC with a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 960 G1 Gaming 4GB and I've been in the same spot where you are currently, I have decided on buying and AMD GPU because nearly all AMD GPUs get better as time goes on, thus why people use the term "Future proof" on most of them. But do keep in mind that I've heard that Intel CPUs run better with certain AMD GPUs including the RX 480, but I'm sure once AMD Zen CPUs come out, it won't be a problem anymore.

Well well well. The GTX 1060 is the same level as the RX 480. I do believe the RX 480 is better. I want an unbiased answer, as I'm thinking about getting this card, and I'm AMD-only.
