Guess they felt the squeeze from the 480 pretty hard. 480 will have better longevity than the 1060 though, and I say that as a 980 Ti owner. I'd get the 480.

Heck, even the proprietary ones are a little too far apart from the Windows performance (Nvidia as still better performance on Linux, AMD is winning in openness).

Another scam from NVidia. After 970 "trick" the company cannot be trusted. I'm staying with my R9 390X with 8GB VRAM and 512-bit bus.

AnonD-295497, 20 Aug 2016More like 2.5GB edition.. Kappa.. Nope. With a 192 bit bus width memory will be in 1.5 GB increments. 3GB is in perfect sync.

This card is about as fast as a GTX 780 Ti... which also has 3GB. I highly doubt that older card would run into VRAM troubles @ 1080p in modern games that often. At $200 that's going to be the target market.

I woudn't recommend anyone to buy a 3GB GFX card in 2016. Simply because most PC ports are trash and need to be brute-forced to run at a decent framerate.
Even decent ones these days require atleast 3GB VRAM for them to load textures or else there is massive stuttering...

The RX line has the best Graphics drivers available in Linux currently and Vulkan has native LInux support. If you want a future of Linux gaming AMD is the company that's actually going to give it to you.

Seriously look up recent AMD Linux drivers you'll be shocked how much better they've gotten. Also with Vulkan Linux gaming has a real chance. Give AMD RX line and most recent drivers for them another look. You'll be glad you did!

Nice try... I'm still buying 1070 xD
But seriously after my harsh experience with R7 250x and linux I'm going for Nvidia this time no matter what.
Otherwise I don't see why anyone should buy this instead of r7 470-480 . Maybe if the Want the streaming features!

According to anand 1060 about 10% higher than 980. So this card has on par perf with 980
