Whenever there is a release this big (480, 1080 etc) there are a few Youtuber showing up in my subs box... They are : OC3TV, LinusTechTips, PaulsHardware, Awesomesouce Network, Digital Foundry, Tech Of Tomorrow, Hardware Canucks JayzTwoCents... BUT ILL ALWAYS WATCH U FIRST!!! U ARE THE FREAKIN MAN !!! Finally someone who knows how to benchmark :)

[avalonplayz]

The only reviewer to show Doom Vulkan benchmarks Subbed!

[Ali-dxiv]

it is really sad seeing this channel with only 23888 subscribers
in comparison to LTT video the effort that was put into making this video is at least triple
subscribed

[FFTech]

I'm subscribed to all of the big tech youtubers, they were all great, but I have to say; your video was the most in depth. Keep up the great work.

[mr.tomatohead]

insanely thorough. I see more and more people referring to you when talking benchmarks. you're kind of the go to benchmark guy now.

[ezforsaken]

The amount of work you put on these videos does really shine! The video is perfectly clear, very informative and engaging. Your graphs are easy to read and the commentary over them helps comprehension and adds extra information to consider.
Meanwhile top youtubers just have a short video that only includes their opinion and 3-4 games....

[KixSlim]

You do such a good job with these reviews Matt! Always my go to for well presented no bs reviews. I love how you include actual data in such easy to digest formats instead of just spitting out claims with no support. I think you said it best in the last minute of the video - it is too soon to call a winner between the RX 480 and gtx 1060 but I think it will be close; which is great news for the consumer! However, with that said, I'd bet my money on the AMD card to age better due to dx 12, Vulcan, and 8gb model; just my two cents.

[Wolfie_]

This is one of the best and more detailed and unbiased reviews I've seen in YouTube....liked and subscribed!

[koiricktesta]

Awesome job with the graphs, mate. Super enjoyable to watch and great substance in the data.

[garrettdustman]

Keep up the good work. You are quickly becoming one of my top sources for great quality reviews. I Thank you for taking the extra time, that others do not, to include all of the information that you do.

[vencibushy]

The most unbiased and objective review of GTX1060 compared to RX480 on YouTube. Thank you. I hope your channel grows larger!

[deathgripfan]

crazy amount of info shoved into your videos. keep up the great work :)

[BrankoBane]

As much as I love your thorough GPU testing, I have mentioned your reviews in my Quora answers. Keep up the good work!

[alilsneaky]

Good stuff, thanks for reviewing such a wide range of games instead of just the usual 5-7 other sites do. This gives a much better overview of what to expect in the games we actually play.

I still want to ask if you could try to include frametime graphs in the future though, just a 99 percentile measurement would be nice if nothing else.

framerates alone really only tell half the story, for example pascal has quite a lot better framepacing than maxwell did so the same fps on paper delivers significantly smoother gameplay in practice.

[JJtheCatHerder]

Another great review! I really appreciate that you test so many games and keep all benchmarks up to date.

[Keerasmatic]

Damn! The quality on your videos are so awesome! Keep it up, you can't go wrong doing it like this :)

[ericatkins]

Great channel, great video, excellent delivery! I especially like all of the work put into standardizing the tests, providing all of the relevant information and showing the data in an interesting way!

[AurioDK]

When Vulkan and DX 12 become mainstream I will probably be upgrading my GTX 1080, in the meantime almost all games will still support DX 11.

[almightypear]

Great use of graphs and statistical figures in this video, very informative. +1
