i know the subjects been done to death, but just when i was about to order a rx480 i see nvidia has come out with a gtx 1060.
of course it's probably too early to assess properly, but they're (nvidia) claiming a 15% boost over the amd, and a lower power draw...
i don't want to spend overly on a video card at the moment - i'm working hd, with a few odd shots from clients 4k, but it's all on hd timelines - and would like opinions as to whether (bearing in mind i also use photoshop, some basic after effects, resolve quite heavily (more so than vegas), and assorted media encoders):
a. would i miss cuda if i went amd in any of the software (not counting rendering in vegas)?
b. the 480 is 8gb whilst the 1060 6gb. would this be noticeable re timeline playback, etc.,
c. apparently the new crimson drivers for amd are fine, could anyone else confirm this from experiences at all - after so many bad experience many years ago now, i'd like some reassurance ;-))
i do foresee myself moving to 4k at some point in the future, but that's going to require a new box of tricks anyway, and by that time they'll probably be giving 8gb video cards away for free....
