Pros:

Vega 64 is slightly slower than the GTX 1080, while the liquid cooled version wins more than it loses against the GTX 1080

Cons:

Poor availability and thus pricing. AMD's aircooled RX Vega 64 reference card is ~5% slower than the GTX 1080 FE despite being hotter, louder and using more power (though we have high hopes for custom cards)

The GeForce GTX 1060 series overall is a nice, these cards offer good performance in that 1920x1080 and even 2560x1440 resolution region. We do recommend the 6 GB models though as 3GB is IMHO a bit too little (for 1080p gaming that can be argued...

And the winner is…In what can be described as a complete turnaround, the Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 OC was the most obvious winner of this shootout. One of the driving factors behind this would have to be because of AMD's refreshed Polaris GPU: compared to...

Proposée à la vente aux alentours des 400 €, cette MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X+ 6 Go est environ 20 à 30 € plus chère que la version « normale ». Je n'ai pu disposer d'une GTX 1060 suffisamment tôt pour la comparer à cette version « PLUS » en profondeur, mais...
