This is a good price historically, but it's not the right price point for this card. There are better cards at lower prices.

You can pick up a GTX 1060, right now, for £228. That's a significant savings of £61. Not only is the 1060 more energy efficient, it has a much better overclock (14% versus 6%).

An 8% boost in performance puts the 1060 on par with the Fury at 1440p and the 1060 is 8% ahead at 1080p.

So there is virtually no market for this card at this price, unless brand you have a load of brand loyalty to either side.

1060 is a better, cheaper, card.

The 480 would be an option too.

I thought about picking the GTX 1060 or the RX 480 for a long time but as it stands now with the prices being similar is that the GTX 1060 is a vastly superior card for gaming right now but will eventually be outclassed by the RX 480 in a year's time once DX12 games start rolling out. However by then there will be a new generation of cards that are better and have a better price point as well.

In other words, buy a GTX 1060 if you want a card now. Wait if you don't.

Brace yourself..

This or wait for this xfx rx 480 to come out?

​with dx11, DX12 however...

I'd get the nitro 480 but oos everywhere almost

You can overclock the fury pretty high as well to get a 15% performance increase. I can get 17k firestrike score on my fury. The top score for the gtx 1060 is 15.5k @ 2100mhz which is the upper limit of gtx 1060 clocks which is what the fury nitro gets with it's factory overclock.

Maybe so but the efficiency of the 1060 wins out plus the nitro may score higher but in gaming that performance will start to drop when the 4gb limit has hit then the 1060 would take over with it's btr compression and extra 2gb of vram, I don't think doom will give nightmare settings to a 4gb card unless they've changed that.

the 1060 is the best price option although personally I would prefer to see it hit the £200 mark, the 480 is hitting the market pretty well and taken a lot of sales from the 1060 due to future proofing and the 8gb vram, it's pricing will decrease as stock becomes readily available but if NVidia and partners can price there cards closer to the £200 price point it's goodnight for the 480.

As I have stated b4 I was a loyal amd buyer but this year imho it's a huge let down, perf is not there efficiency is not there and in order to get the advertised speeds on the box you have to bump up the slider and as a result push wattage upto 230w and given the 1060 pushes 135w when overclocked to 2100mhz, amd S**t the bed big time, to price there cards at £230-£330 is a joke really.

Then you got super lucky, many reviews show the Fury as a very bad overclocker.

I haven't found a review that has gotten it above 10% OC, even then, most are 5-7% OC.

Even if you get lucky and OC to 15%, it still only *matches* the 1060 at 1080p, for 61 more quid? No way.

Also 4 GB of HBM is worse than 6GB of GDDR5, even if it's faster, it still is a bottle neck if your game asks for >4.
