it's on par with the 4080 at best, still good for the price

Dracarys already released the benchmarks no need to look at the geekbench numbers

I've had full AMD build for a decent time now and while one might think that it is (or was) a good price/performance ratio, the amount of shit I had to deal with because of their fucked up software and drivers is slowly making sure I won't touch AMD for a long time after this setup needs changing.

Here's the easiest way to determine whether product is good or anti consumer. Go to youtube and find reputable tech channel that do PC performance benchmarks. Something like hardwareunboxed, gamer nexus or linus tech tips if you only want the big boys and decide. Don't believe some random HLTV users who are still stuck in 2015, they have the mindset of a caveman and only feed on something popular. That's why there're people who'll still buy 4080-4090 despite the scam nvdia tryna pull off.

i'd still buy anything else other than an nvidia card and ive only had good experiences with nvidia cards. the gpu market needs competition and blindly throwing money at nvidia whenever you need a new card is killing the industry.

That’s nothing new , these infos that it will be between both GeForce cards is out since weeks. Also geek bench = trash, I saw game performance .

AMD has done some progress on their driver side of things, it should be way better than before.
And to people who praise Nvidia drivers - Nvidia uses drivers to lock performance they sell in Quadro cards for 10x the price. Your card can do many things Quadro can - nvidia is just not letting it.
But thanks to smart people, we can fix that and edit that driver enough to enable it.
Example, nvenc endoding. nvidia hardcore limits it on any consumer cards even if they use same chips are quadros. Your Nvenc will choke on nothing because of that, even if you are only using small % of it - it won't let you use any more than that.
By changing a few numbers and technically hacking the driver, you can just unlock the nvenc and have 20+ streams go trough your 1060 instead of paying 5000$ for a quadro that does it.
In this case, it's a fully moral thing to do because fuck nvidia.
1060 chokes after 1 nvenc stream without doing that, just won't do more.
That said, I use 1060 6gig on my main PC and older AMD card on another, no issues with either of them.
