  Your measurements for GTX 1060 and RX 460 are wrong. Those look like they're measured together with a much slower processor than the other cards.
  
  With RX 460 it's not that much of an issue, but with GTX 1060 it's clearly visible how something other than the GPU is limiting your frame rate.

  Hey Vrika - thank you for your observations. I was working with data that we had collected previously. It is entirely possible that the test benches used to collect data on the other GPUs had other limiting factors. Again, this information is anecdotal. When including these numbers in the charts, I tried to use the closest proxy to the RX580 with information that we had previously collected.
  
  Another important point on the GTX 1060 is that this was the 3GB model, compared to the RX580 at 8GB. This would also count as a limiting factor.
  
  Again, thank you for your observations.

  Im not one for "gamer" chairs and silly desks with RGB lights and carbon fiber finish but this thing is really cool looking.
  
  My 980 ti is still crushing everything i throw at it, Its old now but its getting the job done.

  The only "flashiness" being the LED logo and branding on the fans. It is otherwise rather subtle in its design.
  
  I think that you would need to get into some of the higher end cards (Vega/1070,1080) to beat what you are currently using and in the current pricing, not worth the performance gain. The high end Maxwell GPUs still hold their own in today's gaming.

  980 Ti is even faster then a 1070 if you have a factory OC'd version. Mine did 1450mhz on the core and beat the 1070.
  
  Old or not, it can still hold it's own for another year or 2. I downgraded "kinda" to a Fury X cause of Freesync but at this resolution it's getting pretty damn beat apart from MMO's they run flawlessly 50+fps at this res. I'm waiting till next year when the new Vega cards come out that are supposedly as fast as a 1080 at 299,99 MSRP.

  MSRP: $389.99*
  
  Anyone remember when the RX580 MSRP was supposed to be $229?
  
  Just a stroll through memory lane:

  Also, going price on Newegg is not the same thing as Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. You should definitely correct that.

  According to PC Part Picker, the price has been on a decline, but has leveled off slightly. The price trends in the market are astounding right now...

  Definitely the most interesting test bench I've ever seen! I always like reading hardware reviews here on MMORPG.com
