Silk Road ? <| sep |> boi that ' s spooky . holy fuck . how does the brush her teeth so well . terrifying . <| sep |> The 480 has much better performance in DX 12 and Vulkan titles , and it ' s expected to have longer support and optimization for them , however the 1060 has slightly better performance in DX 11 games compared to the 480 . Another reason is that AMD cards have full support for FreeSync AdaptiveSync monitors , which adjust their refresh rate dynamically to avoid stuttering . NVIDIA cards only support the expensive , anticonsumer , proprietary GSync version , which does basically the same thing , but costs way more . Personally , I ' m planning to pick up a 480 today or tomorrow for my build , because I think it ' s the better choice for what I want out of a GPU , but it ' s ultimately up to you . Bo
