AMD Radeon RX 470 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060


Recommended Posts

Looking at two laptops. One is a 17" with the AMD card, and one is a 15" with the NVIDIA card. I'm thinking I want the 15" because the 1920x1080 resolution would look better on it than the 17" one, but am I losing in the long run because of the video card? I myself don't think the 2GB difference will hurt that much, but I've been wrong before.

 

Card specs:

 

NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5

AMD Radeon™ RX 470 with 8GB GDDR5

Chevy vs ford

MB vs BMW

Coke vs Pepsi

Hydro vs outdoor grown

 

 

It depends. A lot is user preference and some games are optimized for one card over the other

That's about what I figured. I like Intel & Nvidia myself, just didn't want to blindly choose something. Hopefully the games I like will be optimized for the Nvidia.

Personal experience, more games are optimized with intel/nvidia.. just what I've seen lately with a lot of games. Not that Radeon is a bad card.. just an observation.

I have been playing with that stuff since the rage LT pro (8mb ram)

 

I liked the radeon for reasons I already forgot.. avivo.

 

the nvidia in their serious cards goes much further with intel.

 

I have a xeon right now, absolute monster. it remained in the top ten of home business for more than 5 years.

I think it is the top 20 still.

 

I'd still go radeon whenever... but am not a gamer anymore. been more than a decade.

video editing is my thing.

I thrash 30gb at a time. Impressive..four xeon cores and a vid card that actually helps along.

for radeon.. yet to see that.
