Comparison between the rx 480 and gtx 1060 with its latest drivers

The NJTech Channel wanted to make a very interesting comparison of the performance of AMD's RX 480 graphics cards and Nvidia's GTX 1060 with its latest graphics drivers. The results we have below.

RX 480 vs GTX 1060 - The eternal rivals in the mid-range meet the faces again

Both the RX 480 and GTX 1060 coincide in the mid-range of graphics cards, excellent options for playing at 1080p resolution. The RX 480 uses a Polaris 10 core with 2304 process units, 144 texture units, and 32 render units. The amount of memory is 8GB GDDR5. The GTX 1060, meanwhile, uses the GP106 Pascal core with 1280 process units, 80 texture units, and 48 render units. The amount of memory in this case is 6GB.

How have both graphics cards evolved with their newer drivers?

Well, the results (which you can see in full in the video above) seem somewhat disparate depending on the game and if it was explicitly optimized for each graphics card, games like Just Cause 4, Battlefield V and several others show technical draws and the RX 480 It manages to beat games like Black Ops IIII and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, but the GTX 1060 manages to beat many more games than just two, like Assassins Creed Odyssey, Darksiders III, Far Cry 5, Vampyr, PUBG, GTA V, The Witcher 3 or Fornite, by little or a wide margin.

The conclusions we can draw is that there is a 'parity' that continues to be maintained, but the GTX 1060 is still a better option than the RX 480 at the end of the day in the mid-range and the results do not let us lie.
