Which GPU should I get?

[frenchtoaster10]

Recently I have been going back and forth between what GPUs that I should buy. I narrowed it down to NVIDIA  cards however when I look at the cards there are so many like I could go with the GTX 1060 but then which one. do i go with the SC or the SSC, or should i just go with a completely different card Like the 960? what I'm asking is should I go with the GTX 1060 SSC or are there better options in NVIDIA cards for roughly $260.

For Now Wait For The Cryptocurrency Phase To Die Down, Once This Happens It Will Cause A Huge Affect On GPUs and they will drop to an all time low , so my advice is hust to be patient

I agree with you however get a 6gb card it'll be worth your money in the long run

Its Anyones Guess, It Could Take A Day, A Week or Even a Year (the chance of it being a year is like 0.05%) But Honestly It Shouldnt Take Too Long

how long did it take Bit coin to slow down, I think it should be around the same time to die down...

Yep absolutely true... And bitcoin slowed down due to ASIC crushing GPU's performance.

We can't be sure, etherium is supposed to be ASIC proof, so it will take a lot longer than bitcoin. 

970/980's are cheap now compared to the Miner counterparts. Since AMD did not push nvidia leadboard we can expect NV to milk Pascal a little more so prices won't drop in 1000 series. 1070's are gone to mining, 1080's are out of budget, 1060's are slowly traveling to mining city so... 980 is a quite smart buy.
