This includes derogatory comments such as 'retard'. There's no need for petty insults on this sub. Rule 4: All posts must be related to AMD or AMD products. Example of okay: 'Radeon RX Vega 56 benchmarks!'
Or 'Ryzen 5 2600 vs Intel i5-8400'. Videos only mentioning AMD in passing (i.e. 2 minutes out of a 30 minute video) will also be removed. If a linkpost is made with a title only mentioning a competitor a summary comment (a “TLDR” or “TLDW”) will be required explaining how it relates to AMD. If the post lacks a summary comment, it will be removed. Rule 5: No religion/politics! There are plenty of other places for that.
Rule 6 Use original sources. Copypasta articles sourced from other websites are not allowed. Quotes are fine, but pasting the entire article in a textpost is not.

Hi guys, I can feel the excitement and hype from the new AMD drivers increasing performance and competing with the gtx 1060 and would like some advice on the next purchase of mine. I am fully aware I am on the AMD subreddit but I would like some first hand experience and compelling reasons to go for team red.
I think it's debatable. There are people here who will argue until their faces turn red that 4GB is enough for the RX 480. I'm not convinced I agree, especially since the memory in the 8GB is clocked higher and from what I understand, Polaris is often memory bottlenecked. Certain games have shown they use more than 4gb of ram at settings that the RX 480 can handle, but some of it is sloppy coding (I'm sorry, Mirror's Edge Catalyst doesn't need 7.5 gb of ram). In games like that, you will need to sacrifice texture quality with the 4gb. It shouldn't be a huge deal, to be honest, though. From what I've gathered, the vast majority of games will be more than fine with 4GB of vram.
So yes, debatable, but really, you're not going to suffer too much with the 4GB. I wish I could say the same for 2/3 years from now like you'd like, but I can't. I have a feeling in 2/3 years the 4gb is going to hurt you more and you're going to wish you had 8gb. I could be wrong though. I'm not near an expert at this stuff.
I have an i5 2500 (non K) and an RX 480 8GB and play dota 2 on Vulkan for a few months now. Just out of interest I changed it to DX11 Yesterday but the performance was way worse for me.
Everytime tinker uses march of machines (non immortal) or some other things were happening fps dropped a lot (visibly, not only numbers) which had a gameplay impact. I optimally want my FPS to be between 90-144 and Vulkan was outperforming DX11 for me big times in that regards. So even though there are still a few bugs (game closing on game load, some texture issues in picking screen) it's way better than DX11 at least on radeon cards and older CPUs.
If you really want to save the money and lower textures take the 4GB RX480 (I personally wouldn't). However the Zotac GTX 1060 6GB has the best price/performance of those you listed. If you can find the RX480 for a more competitive price, not $28 more expensive and consider a Freesync monitor go for it instead. I swear, freesync is worth it so much.
Improved my Witcher 3 Experience by a lot and I was running a GTX 970 before with 60fps most throughout the game. The MSI is out of question. No reason to spend $39 over the Zotac for basically same performance.
It's not recommended to spend more money for basically same performance almost every time (for GPUs). Most GTX 1060 are doing absolutely fine and a 1-2% advantage wouldn't make it worth $39. Yup, i have the same problems with vulkan in dota2 with you on my previous card. Just curious because the mini has been said by many to be one of the worst cards in the 1060 range because of the cooling/noise (i mean they gotta cut costs somewhere).
Wouldn't this affect the main aim of longevity, despite a 5 year extended warranty. I mean there are regular brands like asus dual or palit dual at $340+ but those are as no frills as zotac mini, so I didnt bother with those. If I was going straight for budget, I would take the zotac like you said but value one I'm not too sure. If you use headphones you will barely hear the zotac on 100% fanspeed, which is not necessary in most cases anyways. 90% and lower seems to be rather quiet as far as I googled and running a fan on 100% all the time doesn't sound too healthy for it either.
For regular usage any card should last quite a few years. I could only see the fans fail eventually if at all. I have yet to see a card, not OCed to the limit, fail due to temperatures (except for the EVGA cards recently which was EVGAs fault).
