Reference card (1060) vs overlocked card (580). Looking at multiple review sites, including international ones like Computerbase, PCGH.de etc, and comparing overlocked 1060 vs overclocked 480/580 the difference is ~50-60 watt.
Not good, but also not twice the power consumption...
I don't understand why AMD didn't use faster memory in the 580 like Nvidia did with the 1060 refresh. The 580 needs faster memory more than higher core clocks.
Lets hope AMDs return to tile based rendering (used in Adreno) plus the other improvements help them get better at power consumption just like Nvidia with Maxwell. But I don't expect much from Vega after AMDs GPUs of the last 3 years. Navi looks more promising, as it is probably the first GPU to be fully designed under Raja Koduri.
