We’ve revisited the same comparison a few times over the years.
That sounded reasonably substantial, but without increasing the core clock frequency this change had little impact on performance.
Then the most recent update was publishedin 2019with our biggest sample of games yet at 36.
This time the RX 580 was around 3% faster than the GTX 1060.
Easily beating out the newer 5500 XT and matching the GTX 1650 Super.
Our test rig consisted of aCore i9-9900Kclocked at 5 GHz with 32GB of DDR4-3400 memory.
The latest available display drivers at the time of testing we’re used and all results have been updated.
Previously using DX11, the RX 580 was around 15% faster than the GTX 1060.
Clearly Nvidia hasn’t bothered to optimize their drivers for Pascal GPUs using the newer API in this title.
Performance in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is neck and neck, no real winner here.
Here the Radeon GPU was 23% faster at 1080p and 21% faster at 1440p.
Last year when testing F1 2018 the RX 580 and GTX 1060 were ever so close.
Not a huge difference, though you will notice the performance boost at 1440p in particular.
The RX 580 is clearly the more consistent performer in 2020.
The margins grow in AMD’s favor at 1440p.
Current owners of the GTX 1060 6GB may still be content about their investment.
Both GPUs aremostly matchedon performance, with the GeForce getting the upper hand on efficiency and thermals.
