Minus the overclocking potential, of course

But it has more VRAM and has the the honor of not getting gimped by Nvidia driver updates as time goes on

Considering how the 480 is priced, it's more or less a better 970

oh really

they're the same price here

due to 480 in massive demand

I couldn't decide between the two

Yeah, the 480 sells like butter

then 1060 is better

Literally impossible to find one at a decent price here

they're overpricing the 480 like crazy

guess I'll grab the 1060 then

This is the issue over here:

maybe rx480 is in high demande because of bitminers?

The 980 is cheaper than the 1060, as it is now

they're the same price

as you can see

and the 480 isnt even in stock

sells out as soon as it is

I've seen the 4GB 480s at 200 pounds incl. VAT

But they're gone within a few hours

this is apparently going to go instock stock today

I dont know 4gb is good though

Do you have a 2K monitor?

nope

Or er, 4K?

a 1080p

Unless you're planning to get one soon, you won't see the need to go beyond 3GB VRAM anytime soon

yeah

Im not so sure

arent like more than 4gb vram needed nowadays?

or something

It is definitely

Cause most people cross into 2K/4K nowaday

im only into 1080p 60 fps gaming

I have a 2K monitor and I usually cap the 4GB on my 970
