Is it still worth buying an 1060 6GB ?

[Itnozetr3]

Hey guys, so i recently found a GTX 1060 6GB in an Online Shop, and it seems pretty cheap, i kinda want to buy it to change my RX480 thats got some problems on it, rather than fixing it would cost a lot of money, im thinking just to sell my RX480, and buy the 1060.

 

What are your toughts about that? Let me know

Thanks.

Watch this vid by zwormz to deduce whether or not

But also look at the 3060

bit of an improvement on your 480, and still a decent entry level card for cheap price..

Honestly, it's clearly a used unit. Tokped have a lot of listings for used RX 6600 XT which are at least 210% faster than 1060 6GB, starting from Rp. 2.1 mill. Or RX 5700 XT, starting from 2 mill as well.

If you're going used, don't go for ones that old, unless it is really really cheap, and that one is not cheap at all.

And from RX 470 to 1060 6GB, you'd barely feel the difference.

To be honest, in my experience, the 1060 6GB was a downgrade to my RX 480 8GB. It just so happened I got a 1060 6GB for SUPER cheap and made a little money on selling off my other card.

 

The number of games you can comfortably play on either is shrinking, and fast. I really wouldn't be looking at ANYTHING under the sort of 2060 Super / RX 6600 non-XT level, like at all. A lot of times, even my 2070 Super feels completely gimped in a lot of new games coming out, although DLSS helps in some cases, but that depends. FSR 2.0 is half-decent as well. I am curious how FSR 3.0 is going to do just as far as framerate, it won't really help latency...

 

I just feel like you're chasing performance that is simply already too far behind the 8-ball to ever justify if you don't already have one of these cards, OR if you're doing something purpose-built eg an emulation rig or something that has fairly reasonable GPU requirements even to run games at like 4K60 w/ anti-aliasing etc etc. But for general purpose? I'd advise against it.

Yeah for that money thats probs the best you can do.

 

 

Unless you are ok with the weird mobile card on desktop as it is supposed to be faster than the 1660super still

 

What psu do you have?

Replace that with a good psu before you kill your pc

[Dukesilver27-]

Save up a bit more for used RX 6600 XT which is around 2.5 mill at the lowest, seriously the performance difference between the 1660 super and 6600 XT is quite a lot. You do not want to regret your purchase. 

Or if you cant wait, add 200K for a used RX 6600.

Btw do RX 6600 use a pcie connector?

You have have a look at the psu tier list and pick an A or B tier unit of 550w or up.

 

Then well a used rx6600(xt) is by far the best option as it doubles+ performance instead of only going at best 50% with the 1660 super

Yes thats also why you should replace your psu

 

1660 super also does
