Best 1060 to get?

[Danboy360]

So after deciding on my CPU (as seen in the CPU thread here), my next question mark is what 1060 to get.  What is the best 1060, which is less than £260?

the difference between 1060s is very small maybe just a few FPS and so it is just better to get the one with the best price/warranty/power consumption/looks.

 

However, the RX 480 does outperform the 1060 in most new DX12 games and the same goes for it. It is also generally cheaper by a few pounds in the UK.

not really unless you get a bad card, i would go for a 480 over 1060 any day.

here is a 480 with a good cooler https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150775&cm_re=rx_480-_-14-150-775-_-Product it's 176 and does 90% of the performance if your at a higher resolution 8gb rx 480 or save and get a 1070

This is a solid 1060 and great price. I would also recommend going this route. You could also check out the 480 but I'd still prefer the 1060.

Apart from each manufacturer doing their own OC'ing, does it really matter what brand I go for? I'm not particularly planning on OCing the card once I get it, so that Palit one looks great, as does the Gigabyte one!

Get the cheapest one, then open Afterburner and after a few clicks, you just save $40+ by not going with the factory overclocked "gaming" version
