Well, the thing is that, the GTX 1060 3gb version isn't a retaliation to AMD's RX, since if they wanted to do this, it'd have to be at least planned months ahead. I think it's more on them wanting more market share, and being really competitive at a $200 range.
-
Well, basically all Nvidia cards have Advanced PhysX as a part of their card, rather than being an entirely different card dedicated to PhysX like they used to decades ago. Basically, any Nvidia GTX should be a good PhysX card for gaming.
-
In my opinion, they should've called the GTX 1060 3gb, just GTX 1060, and the 6gb, GTX 1060Ti.
-
Yea, I heard about how Nvidia changed slight things on the 3GB version, I'll either be buying RX480 and hopefully buying another one for crossfire later on, or just a GTX 1060.
-
Alright then, looks like I'll be buying a GTX 1060 after selling my R9. Thanks guys!
-
Looking at the majority of the thread, I'm guessing that saving up a bit or selling my R9 285 and buying a RX 480 or GTX 1060 is the best option then?
-
Yea, I believe the GTX 690 is on par with a GTX 980, but I think the minimum required is 650W, so I'm a bit worried about my PSU.
-
Hey guys, I currently have a friend who's offering me a GTX 690 for $200, and have a R9 285 in my build, should I go upgrade it or wait due to my power supply? (650W Thermaltake PSU.) Current specs are: FX6350 overclocked to 4.4GHz 16 gigabytes of 2133Mhz ram Sapphire R9 285 Thermaltake smart series 650W PSU.

Upgrading the CPU would be better than a GPU upgrade with his current build for longer-term, due to the CPU bottlenecking.
-
Need help for checking if build is good
Frostshield replied to Vailboy's topic in New Builds and Planning
The build looks great! Doesn't look like anything needs to be changed. The only thing I see changing may be having a larger SSD storage. (If you're going to download all your games or your video editing on it.) -
Well, if you're okay with playing at medium settings, then you'll be fine with a GTX 960 for a few more years of usage. Depending on your mobo + CPU, you may want to upgrade it before your GPU.
-
Your CPU is bottlenecking your Fury, but it's not a huge loss like 20%+. What resolution do you play on? 1080p? 1440p?
-
I'd suggest a Crossfire RX480 due to it running faster, however, there are some games who don't optimize Crossfire/SLI. but RX480 is generally faster and a freesync monitor is much cheaper.
-
The first PC I built can turn on, but never shows a display, I still keep that computer in the corner of my room to remind me of my failure everyday. (Also, I don't do cable management.)
-
I currently run an R9 285 in my main rig, and a GT 740 in my secondary build(Mini-itx, and for LAN parties.) I would like to update my main rig to be able to support a VR headset and to see AMD's new technology at work.
