You don ' t HAVE to switch to the AMD card . You can get the 1060 and you ' ll be just as good . The reason most people say go with the 480 is because of it ' s better support for DX 12 games and better lifetime but since you ' re not gaming , it shouldn ' t really matter . The only real downside is that GSync nvidia monitors are way more expensive than FreeSync AMD monitors and even then that only matters a lot when you ' re playing games and your FPS is all over the place . <| sep |> Hurts my heart to hear that . I ' d never experience it , so I empathize for all of those who do . <| sep |> Never buy from scalpers or sites that support them . The more losses they make the quicker they stop doing it . <| sep |> So , does that make this satire ?
