No he is not giving bill and warranty for 16.5k.
I suggest Sapphire Pulse RX 570 4GB. Price is around 15.5k and its the best value for money high performance card at that price. Its only 10% slower than rx480.
And when overclocked, it matches rx480.

People who bought the rx480 at launch for 28k are now crying as the same performance is now available for under 16k.

RX 580/480 would be the best option. 1060 can also be considered, keeping price point in mind. Don't even think about 570.

I read that rx 580 seems to suck twice the power of 1060 and i dont have ac in my room. I dont want the heating issue under my cabinet.

Confused regarding this and as a fact that these cards are giving almost same performance right?

570 and 580 have 10% performance difference. So no sense in buying 580 as 570 is 7000rs cheaper.

Let me try to compare both for you.
Performance: both are at par, beating each other by short margin in different games. Get any of those and you would be good.

RX 580/480/570/470:
-Freesync
Are you interested in freesync? If you don't know about it, you should google & read and think if you want to have it. In short, Freesync lets your graphics card to drive your freesync enabled monitor at variable Hz. Means no screen tearing, ghosting in games at all. Also, if the monitor is of higher Hz (say 144), you will be getting true variable frames (upto 144 fps) on your monitor which is very advantageous in competitive games like counter strike.

AMD supports freesync, NVIDIA doesn't. NVIDIA has the same functionality by the name of GSync, but monitors with GSync costs very high.
I know your current monitor is neither freesync or gsync, but sometime in future if you wish to upgrade your monitor and want to have this functionality, go for AMD RX card now as that would give you the freedom to buy cheaper monitor.

-Heating/power consumption: Yes, RX cards are higher on heating and power consumption when compared to 1060, but you don't have to worry about it because you already got very good PSU with more than enough power rating (520w). You won't be facing any problems regarding it whatsoever.

GTX 1060 6GB:
- Cheaper: It is cheaper than RX 580/480 these days. If you don't care about Freesync, get 1060 6GB. End of story.
- Cooler/Lower power consumption: Again, this shouldn't be a big point for you to consider for getting the card.

Hi dear,
I am getting components for my PC within 2 days. 2 questions-
1. Since amd cards are OOS, is it advisable to buy a freesync monitor with a nvidia card? The shopkeeper also said that they work well with amd cards.

2. I am getting zotac 1060 6gb for 23500/- amp edition for 25k. Which one should I go for?

Thanks

Is there any difference in performance in zotac 1060 vs MSI 1060?
Simple zotac one has 1 fan whereas the amp edition has 2. Is your MSI one the amp or some other edition too?
