should work, pci express 1 and 2 are full x16 Slots (so not like on many cheaper boards only first x16 slots eletric 16 lanes and the second only Cool

though it might bug around if you insert the card in slot 2, cause they state

(Note 3) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.

(Note 4) The PCIEX8_1 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16_1 slot and the PCIEX8_2 slot with PCIEX16_2. The PCIEX16_1/PCIEX16_2 slot will operate at up to x8 mode when the PCIEX8_1/PCIEX8_2 is populated.

Laughing It's not my first computer that i built, the slot is x16. The x1 slot is usually smaller physically. And i put it there because i have small case where mb sits horizontally and first slot is blocked by water-cooling radiators from top and side.

im talking about a x16 slot, but x16 format doesnt mean its always electrical tied with 16 lanes. its more like the complete opposite. most boards (even not the completely cheap ones) which offer more than 1 pci-e x16 slot have the second one (or both when both are used) only as x8 or even x16 and the second x4

OK installed msi afterburner finally..
its pretty awesome in its current form (better than years ago) and osd stuff is great.

Anyway, My oc results for gtx 1060 g1 gigabyte


Went from average 45 fps in Deus ex mankind divided ultra benchmark at 1080p, to exactly 50fps average.
Fair enough. 5fps on top of factory oc'ed card

A recent article looked at the GTX 1060 and the RX 480 as they currently perform. It benchmarked the cards in multiple games, but what was more interesting was when it looked at how the cards performed on average back in July compared to now.

On average, in DX11, the 1060 was 12% faster at 1080p and 2% faster at 1440p.
Now, the 1060 is 2% faster in 1080p and the cards are dead equal at 1440p.

On average, in DX12, the 1060 was 3% slower at 1080p and 4% slower at 1440p.
Now, it's 6% slower with both.

The writer says that the 480 actually won in most games, but the 1060 won in the most popular games (such as Overwatch and Battlefield 1). He also mentions something else, which is that the 480 didn't end up selling for the price AMD released it as. With its originally announced price the 480 would be the obvious winner (now that performance is virtually tied), but both cards end up selling for the same price. This makes them pretty much equal.
In the past, we've seen a similar retrospective where AMD cards improved their performance over time when compared to Nvidia cards. If this comparison is to be believed, this is still ongoing.

The article, for people who want it. The link opens at the last page (final results), you can go back to previous ones if you're curious: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/73945-gtx-1060-vs-rx-480-updated-review-23.html

is that kinda like the 970, a 2014 gpu with gimped VRAM, beating the 480, a 2016 GPU, in dishonored 2, watch dogs 2, mafia 3, quantum break, shadow warrior 2 and so on? Cool Face
In some of those actually beating the whole AMD line up due to the CPU overhead.


You buy AMD when you are on a budget. You get a more powerful card, often more VRAM and then deal with the dx11 overhead, practically at the mercy of the developers optimization of their game engine.

I sincerely hope this changes with dx12 becoming a standard, but that's still the future, with the proof part still to come Very Happy

I'd certainly like to start seeing better prices for high end gear, but while the dx11 overhead is here, and most demanding titles are demanding on the CPU as well as the GPU, nvidia is the better choice.

at least that's what my research shows, and i've pretty much scoured yt performance vids of regular gamers who show actual gameplay, not a 1 minute test run on 20 gpu's with a journalistic deadline and using the most expensive CPU paired with budget GPU's, which often doesn't fully expose the overhead that consumers with actual budget components all around will see. I mean, how many people buy a 6 core+HT cpu and pair it with a budget GPU?

It's actually hard even finding some performance vids from AMD users in many titles, because they are often so CPU bottlenecked, they don't even bother posting the vids. Then you search for the same game vid for nv cards, and ton pop up.

So yeah, it's fair to say I don't agree with that statement. Smile

With relation to the 700 series by NV? absolutely, but maxwell and pascal, no way. Not yet anyways, but knowing NV, you never know Laughing

Good post actually. My idea comes from the evolution of 700 series in comparison to the 290(x).

I don't think 1060 6gb compares to 480... here 480 8gb is even more expensive than 6gb 1060.

So let's say they are the same price. With 1060 you get ~same performance as 480 but more overclock ability and considerably better temps with pascal.
Also gameworks and all that nvidia shit. It's mostly a gimmick but in some games like Arkham Knight, it's pretty fantastic.

For me it's usually amd, nvidia, amd, nvidia cycle every 3-4 years

Those who went with 970 are still golden. No need to upgrade unless 3,5gb is crippling texture settings.

My 970 already feels outdated in several games, mainly those "AAA" ones.

For example Just Cause 3 and Homefront 2. In both i'm not able to get stable 60 fps, even with several reduced settings.

Sadly more and more bigger companies don't give a flying shit about optimization anymore and just expect people to upgrade (in most cases the GPU).

In some of those actually beating the whole AMD line up due to the CPU overhead.

I looked it up and only Shadow Warrior 2 ran better on the 970.

Mafia 3: 40fps on the 480, 32 on the 970.
http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=articles&action=file&id=26022

Dishonored 2: 50 on the 480, 47 on the 970
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/dishonored_2_pc_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,6.html

Watch Dogs 2: equal. 45 on the 480, 44 on the 970.
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/watch_dog_2_pc_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,6.html

Quantum Break: Even the DX11 version doesn't make the 970 beat the 480. At best, they're equal.
Here, the 480 / 1060 / 970 are all neatly together:
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Quantum-Break-Spiel-15745/Specials/Technik-Test-Steam-1209192/
Here, you can see that the 970 is at 33fps and the 470 (not 480) is 31fps:
http://gamegpu.com/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/Quantum_Break_/new/qb_1920_off.png
Or we can go back to the DX12 version of the game where the 480 spanked the 1060:
http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image//skymtl/GPU/GTX-1060-UPDATE/GTX-1060-UPDATE-77.jpg

So that leaves only Shadow Warrior 2. The cards are not tested together, but in the first picture you can see the 970 being only slightly slower than the 1060, and in the second picture you can see the 480 having only 90% the FPS of the 1060 in SW2:
http://gamegpu.com/images/stories/Test_GPU/Action/Shadow_Warrior_2_/sw2_2560.png
http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/1080p-2-840x641.jpg
Meaning it would run at approximately 44.5fps compared to 47 for 970.


So out of the games you listed, only 1 was true.
You also laughed at the 2014 970 equaling the 480. But that last game, Shadow Warrior 2, shows the 2013 290x with the exact same average fps as the 1060.

Youtube videos are generally not the best source of information.

How many changelogs of games that deal with AMD cards do we need to agree that Nvidia has better driver and developer support?

I never(?) see Nvidia specific problems fixed because they are tested more vigorously.

Someone disagreeing with you makes them angry from your point of view?
I did take it into account, I didn't see the point in arguing it. I said not to believe what Youtube videos tell you, as they're poor sources of information. This refers to the claims that a budget CPU will turn those results completely on their heads.

And if you really want to be nitpicky, here: an actual look at the impact of CPU on AMD and Nvidia cards. This is Doom in OpenGL (not Vulkan), comparing i7 5930K vs i3 4360 (not an actual 4360, rather a CPU with disabled cores and reduced clocks).
http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/7Ni9835hggpGXxfU26oBHQ-650-80.png

The 1080 falls to 83% of its performance on a stronger CPU. The Fury X falls to 88% of its performance. The weaker cards are unaffected.

Here with the game at Medium settings:
http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/ZMiRTtXWCkss42W3DCu6iN-650-80.png
Here the 1080 falls to 94% of its pervious performance, the Fury X falls to 86%. This does a better job of showing the AMD limitation, yet the card is still performing well above 100fps.
The weaker cards are once again unaffected.

Reminder here that AMD performs poorly on OpenGL, even worse than they do on DX11. That's why they want to move on to DX12 and Vulkan. But despite this, the weaker CPUs do not somehow turn their cards into complete garbage.
They tested with 2 cores running at 3.7ghz. This is below what people buying a 480/1060 would even buy. Yes, I did read the full original post. Including the section saying that the CPU overhead is so large that it can make the 970 run better than the entire AMD lineup. If the 118$ cpu doesn't ruin the cards, I think nothing will. (Current 2-core 3.7ghz CPU: i3 6100)

If someone who buys the 480/1060 spends as much on their CPU as they did on the GPU, they will have a 4-core i5. Will this make the 970 faster than the Fury X? No, it won't.
I somehow thought I didn't need to make my original post longer to dispel something this silly. But hopefully now you are satisfied with the information presented.
I'm the only one who shared sources and actual tests. Yet people are accusing me of being inaccurate.
