I'd like an upgrade but I can hold out a while

Drivers are solid on windows. There are also open source drivers for them on Linux (no such thing for nvidia).
As far as performance, they are outpaced by Nvidia but generally offer the same processing power for less money

How does it compare to modern AMD GPUs?

I've got a GTX680 and it still runs most games fine, just limited by 2GB of Vram
Adrian Adams
You're utterly delusional. The 970 is slower even in games that use way under 3.5GB VRAM. The Witcher 3 uses ~2GB VRAM at 1080p at the 1060 is still 12% faster. Or fucking WoW, which uses well under 2GB and the 1060 is 15% faster. Both results within a couple of percent of the averaged numbers. And these are numbers from the 1060's launch, so driver gimping isn't an option.
There's nothing worse than some faggot with an old card who can't accept that it doesn't match a newer one because it's just fucking slower, rather than some grand conspiracy. You're essentially trying to claim that there's no performance difference between a 970 and a 980. There always was, even if the price jump didn't justify it.

No SSD and DDR3 ram in single channel, combined with a shit mobo and shit cooling?

I want to do a summer upgrade, but I also want to wait for new Nvidia cards news.
It's suffering.

It doesn't really have an equivalent in AMD's current lineup. It's significantly faster than an RX 560 and significantly slower than an RX 570.

You are wrong you are wrong you are wrong. I don't care.
