Nvidia has support for Vulkan on software level.

AMD has support for both Vulkan & Async Compute on hardware level.

AMD GPUs are giving better fps than nvidia in DirectX 12.

Get HIS RX480 8GB ICEQ X2 Roaring Turbo @ 23k from *savera.co.in
Savera has branches in all major cities in India and RMA is also dealt by Savera itself.

uh no. Performance difference between them is negligible even in DX 12 games. Going from one card to another won't give you any noticeable performance gains(performance gains are largely dependent on the games). Wait for the next generation if you want to upgrade.

Yess, its true that one cannot change their GPU every 6 months. You better keep it until as long as it lasts.

I first thought of going with Zotac GTX1060 6GB OC @ 24k but now am thinking of going with HIS RX480 8GB Iceq X2 Roaring Turbo @ 23k since it is much futureproof regarding DirectX 12 games are concerned.

Even Zotac GTX1070 8GB Amp GPUs are available in quikr for 29k in Hyderabad.

yes..if you are buying now..then of course rx480 makes much more sense.

I am pretty sure this is an old report. Recent driver updates from AMD have increased the performance of 480 a lot. it is now ahead in DX12 clearly and in some cases not much behind 1060 6gb as it was 2-3 months earlier.

Yeah it's old before the Relive update. But it's a site doing frame-time analysis more thoroughly. Most other sites just post avg. and min FPS which isn't a good indication of smooth performance. Heck some sites don't even record min. FPS. Will have to wait for another card to release for the new drivers to be bench-marked.

Yes, after that update of AMD I was even thinking of selling my GTX 1060 6GB to buy RX 480 8GB, but then dropped the idea.

Six months of POLARIS progress - RX 480 ft. Crimson ReLive 16.12.1 - YouTube

I have polaris, MSI RX 480 and I have no issues with the ReLive functionality on my system as experienced by the creator of the above video. I am using same version, Radeon Software Version 16.12.1.
I actually find the recording functionality very satisfying. It doesn't work on odd games like, Half Life 1 (finally when I started playing it few days ago) but it does work on modern games like Rocket League, Quantum Break, Portal 2 and Steep (new game from Ubisoft).

In fact, I am planning to upload the steep gameplay as I recorded from ReLive soon.
