GTX 1060

Which version is the definitive version?

I plan on getting one on Black Friday to replace my 650.

Should I ask Sup Forums?

version as in what? be more specific.

manufacturer
3gb or 6gb
one or two fans

there are a shit ton of versions

Get an 8gb 1070 instead.

This. Spend a little more and make it last a whole lot longer.

Always 2 fans.

Always the higher gig option.

planning on not going much over $200
is anywhere selling 1070 for that much on Friday?

happy with my G1 6gb
also upgraded from 650

I only have a 500 watt power supply. Should I buy the gtx1060 or hold off and save enough for a new power supply and a 1070 or 1080?

Hmm.. 350 might be the lowest you can find one. Stick with a 6gb 1060 then. Also it's best to get cards with 2 fans. As for manufacturing, cheapest or best deal in my book. Doesn't really matter.

1070 will run on 500, 1060 is 400

bump

...

my 8gig asus 1070 ROG strix uses less power than my msi 4 gig 760 did

>manufacturer
I have an asus 1070 which has been great but do some googling and just make sure to check user reviews beforehand.
>3gb or 6gb
Always the higher available option so 6gb
>one or two fans
Two fans, single fans are usually reference blower designs. NEVER get a card with a reference fan design or reference cards in general.

500 is enough, newer GPU's have become very power efficient than older ones. I've had a 750w power supply for years because I needed it back when I got it. Its total overkill for my current setup because power requirements are so much lower.

No, not for at least a year and even then you probably won't find a 1070 for less than 299.

What do people think of the RX480 4GB its £60 cheaper in the UK that the 1060 6GB.

There's an Asus dual-fan version for $199 on Newegg for the 3GB version

If you game on 1080p that's perfect

I got the Zotac GTX 1060 3GB Mini

The director's cut is always the definitive version. Everyone knows this.

I'd take it over a 460 even if it was the same price.

Love it. I got the 3 fan powercolor one, cheapest 8gb that wasn't a blower

>Hey guys i want this ~$250 gpu
>NO NO get this $400+ gpu

Stop. Stop doing that.

This isn't always true. When running dual or multiple gpus, the blower style cooling is more efficient with the cards being so close together.

>Hey guys I want this $400 GPU is it worth it?
>Nah brah get this $650 one

just don't buy evga

what's the AMD equivalent of the 1060?

>AMD
>equivalent
kek

OP never mentioned he had any sort of budget, you dumb fucks.

>1060
>dual GPU

This is what you need

yeah, can't go wrong with EVGA

>EVGA

You're retarded

??

see

>People buying 8GB cards

Do some research to figure out how many times you've used that 8. Hell, Look to see how many times you've used 4.
Hint: It's zerp

After that come back here and post about how stupid you feel.

that post came after the others you stupid shit

>not looking to future proof for a generation or two when you upgrade your system because you're a sperg and like to replace cheap parts constantly

>not futureproofing so you don't have to keep buying gimped cards every few years

>Not understanding how video cards work.

You're aware that 4-6-8 GB isn't how "good" it is right? I can't really complain though, people like you keep new cards cheap for me

Buy your 8gb card and enjoy it. I'll buy a 6gb card in 2 years with faster clock speeds than yours.

The 1070 version

the 1060 3gb is a piece of shit.

meant for

>10gb cards coming out next year
>hurr you should buy under 8 you stupid idiot lol

A video card is something you should never be cheap with. I bet you get reference models.

>I'll buy a 6gb card in 2 years

I wouldn't say it's shit. SOME games may bleed over into the 4th GB. It's a decent value card.

I'm not a hypocrite either, i have a 6GB card "just in case". Luckily I'm not retarded and have an 8GB card though

I use 6gb with GTA V.

>10gb cards coming out next year

Lmao yeah man it's going to be sweet. What games are going to use them. What game sout now use 5GB?

fuck I love this site.

GTA V on ultra uses well over 6.

Also, I hope you're not talking about their in game tool to measure that...

the 490

If you didn't keep buying shit video cards you'd probably know.

It's for retarded streamer idiots.

Not really, but Shadow of Mordor, Black Ops 3/Infinite Warfare, Bam Ham, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Deus Ex, Far Cry 4, and basically every big release nowadays can use more than 4GB even on 1080p. It's the new standard

Exactly. Half of 8GB. This site is the best for people who pretend to know what they're talking about.

The OP clearly stated he planned on getting a 1060 on Black Friday and wanted to know which one was best.

Getting one on Black Friday clearly meant he was on a lower budget.

Stop being an idiot.

1440p is a meme anyway.

You honestly don't need more than a 6gb card. Just like you don't need 16gb of ram.

Can you read? They can uses MORE than 4GB even at 1080p when you max out textures. Do you buy a $200 GPU to play with textures lower than on consoles?

I like how you pretend to be a know-it-all, but you can't grasp the fact then newer games are much more demanding and in a year 6gb will be outdated. This is why people suggest 8.

I recommend evga for the 1060, they are probably a little pricey compared to the others on sale right now on newegg but their warranty and customer support has been great in my personal experience.

However, you probably cannot go wrong with other choice brands, friend got a gigabyte 1060 and its working just as good with no issues.

>he futureproofs his computer

Lol

>evga
Aren't those the ones catching on fire?

I have a 6gb card and play with everything maxed at 60

I like how your reading comprehension is at a primary school level. No games right now have even hit 5gg. So from now until this time next year we're going from 4.X to 6.X. That will be the fastest jump the industry have ever seen in that time frame by a wide margin.

the 1070 and 1080 are yeah but I believe the 1060s are okay as far as I know. Mine is running fine temperature wise but I haven't really researched the internet looking for 1060 fires.

>I have a 6gb card and play with everything maxed at 60
because you're still on a 1080p monitor.

>muh meme resolution

>spend all you rmoney a shitty 980 TI
>can't even pair it with a decent monitor
yeah, yeah.

I would be wary about stressing it too much as they were covered under the recent vbios updates even if the 1070 and 1080 were the ones grabbing the headlines.

The good thing is evga are still good with their warranty.

>No games right now have even hit 5gg

Are you taking the piss?

>spend all your money on a meme monitor
>shitpost endlessly to feel better about yourself

Lol

I was planning on getting this to upgrade from my ancient 770. Is this a good card for its price?

Leafbucks by the way.

So you're playing at 1440?

That's another $600 to your build. If you paid less than that for your monitor you should have stayed at 1080. 1440 is too young to adopt based on prices right now unless you're rich.

I got the gigabyte 6gb its really great so far dishonore 2 runs less like ass now but its still a bad port

Forgot my picture.

spoken like a true poorfag. :^)

Buy the card that you need for the resolution you're going for and what your CPU can handle. For fuck's sake. Go on Youtube and do some fucking research.

I'm a pleb piece of shit that's sticking with my Phenom 965 and I upgraded my 6850 to 370 around a year ago.

Every major game coming out I don't care about and I can max Dark Souls 3 which is the only game I play anymore aside from older PC games/old multiplats.

I don't even give a fuck anymore. Battlefield 1? Yeah I don't care. Cod? Yeah, I don't care.

trash

Wait 2/4 days

EVGA is always my go to brand. I just bought 2 1070 ACX 3.0's last week unknowing about this shit. In their defense, every card shipped out after the first this month is supposedly fixed, which would explain why newegg was out of stock for fucking ever.

Oh well. At least they've got warranties.

> watchin those temps like a hawk

So 12 hours?

Should I get a GTX 1060 or RX 480?

>2017
>1080p

lmao

What's wrong with it? It's the cheapest card I see right now.

That is 2/4 days: it's priced for sale starting Black Friday.

It's garbage

Lots of places haven't posted their BF/CM deals yet though

>cheap
>what's wrong with it

DX12
Games are already chewing up ~6GB even at 1080p

Getting a 6gb right now is stupid.

Not him but what 1070s are recommended are doing well?
Newegg had an EVGA that looked nice but it's exploding without a self-install mod, so fuck that.

>490
Lmao

Where do you plan on getting your card on black friday?

>get a 6gb card now
>will be outdated next year

Good goyim

Ah that's true, I guess I'll wait another day before deciding to wake up early for the line-up. Is there another card you'd recommend? Or do I just go for the cheapest that isn't EVGA?

I was told by Sup Forums just to get the cheapest card since they're all similar.

>tfw fell for the SLI meme

maybe in 5 years it'll be good ;_;

One of these statements is true

>I have a $200 1440p monitor
>I use money as toilet paper and own an x34

Which is it?

There's nothing wrong with it, I'm just fucking with you. The more expensive models are just for overclocking.

where are they selling them on black friday?

I just bought that card but the rog strix edition. Very happy with it. Also leaf bucks. I should have waited
