Is that a true statement that these cards' performances are in between the nVidia 1060 and 1070?
Generally slightly worse than a 1060 going on GPU user benchmarks, not sure of these cards are somehow better?
I have both in my household, and I prefer the 8GB RX 580 than either the 3GB or 6GB 1060. My RX did crash Sea of Thieves a few times, which is annoying because you can lose hours of online progress. RX 580 has free sync which for me makes it better than the 1060. Modern games let you scale the game resolution and keep a crisp native UI, and freesync ties all that together without needing v-sync to tax your processors to stop tearing. If you have a G-Sync monitor then I'd say the 1060 6GB is the one to get. You get no screen tearing without v-sync with either Freesync/G-Sync GPU/monitor combo (if you can maintain a frame rate close to your monitor's native refresh rate that is).
These days it depends on which game you're playing. The 580 is better on some the 1060 on others. The 1070 is always better except for maybe Ashes of the Benchmark or something. I went with an RX580 to get 8GB of memory as I think it will last me longer due to higher video memory requirements that seem to be coming along regularly. Also I have a 144hz Freesync monitor. I can't justify the extra $200 to get a GSync monitor.
pretty sure it's just around or slightly better than a 1060. Also more vram.
I thought it was better than 1060 3GB and slower than the 1060 6GB, so they are all very close.
A good thing about AMD is they support their products for longer, so in a year or two the 580 will most likely perform better than the 1060 6GB.
In a year we'll have better and cheaper cards so this 580 will be useless even with better drivers.
@dealhunt: Why useless? If it still plays games, it can be useful and not everyone can afford a new GPU every 2 years.
@FabMan: It depends on what games you play and what gamer are you.
In 1-2 years any newer $250-300 card will outperform the 580 or an equivalent nVidia card.
@dealhunt: I agree it would out perform it, but that always happens. As long as your graphics card can play at a graphical fidelity you are happy with at FPS you are happy with you shouldn't need to upgrade.
I had an OC 7950 up until January, replaces it because it didn't run VR well enough, but that was an old card to keep till 2018.
Yes, but it's very much leaning towards the 1070 side of things. Performance per $ and watt very much go to the 1070 for gaming.
If the 2060 has tensor cores, you're probably going to want to wait 2 or 3 months for that.
Nah, 1070 smashes it, but this costs less, which is appropriate. Which is over $500.
What a time for a typo! That's meant to be a 1060 at the start…
With driver updates and considering how well the RX series undervolt & overclock I'd get this over the 1060 but the 1070 is much, much better,
I'm actually married with a MSI 1070 Gaming X and I'm more than happy with it (much more expensive than this deal) so just considering an alternative for another cheaper gaming box.
It depends really.
I think for a lot of people brand name plays a lot into it. I know people who just refuse to touch anything made by AMD because they are deadset on Nvidia.
If you go RX580 you get good OC/UV, More VRAM and FreeSync.
If you go 1060 you get straight up more raw performance if you compare the cards side by side without any tweaks. Also I've heard shadowplay is much better than relive so if you plan on recording you might wish to go Nvidia.
I personally would not buy this deal as I have seen better value for money. Also I have a feeling the 10 series by Nvidia might drop in price when the RTX cards reduce in price from pre-order to MSRP.
I'd just choose the one that's significantly cheaper than the other.
the video cards are $399 in the cart.

You might have forgotten a coupon code.
Doesn't start until August 26th.
D'oh.
Might want to include delivery in title though.
So $20 off the normal price? Not sure that qualifies as a 'HOT Sale'…
I ordered mine from Amazon US for way cheaper, same with my 1060's. Too bad that's not an option anymore.
I bought my 1070 from Amazon US too, it was the lowest price all around including delivery fees.
you cant use a ship forwarder?
Delivery cost was reasonable (bought the card together with other hardware) also a ship forwarder is always more expensive.
Sapphire RX 580 specia edition is a newer model & only 400$ ebay. Nor sure why this is a better deal
It has literally exactly the same clocks and cooler, it's not any newer / better at all.
This isn't exciting but seems to be the cheapest out.
Hey, that's pretty good.
