Hi guys,
I'm looking to upgrade my very aged reference GTX670 over the holiday period for a good 1080p card. I've got around £200-£250 to spend, but would obviously like to stay on the lower side. The clear choices are the RX480 4GB or the GTX1060 6GB.
I am leaning towards the 480 due to the claimed longevity advantage, since I feel my 670 hasn't aged well and I don't upgrade frequently. However, the Sapphire starts at around £207 currently whereas I could grab a nice OCed Gigabyte 1060 at £233.
Does the 480 lose its advantage when priced like this? Is the price difference no longer worth the ~10% fps hit?
(Also, is it yet worth upgrading from the Ivy Bridge 3570k?)
Thanks for your help!
