1060 vs 970 which one?

[JonathanH]

I'm buying a new video card and I'm stuck between the 970 and 1060. I dont video edit or things like that, i'm solely a gamer. What do you guys recommend?

The GTX 1060 is cheaper, at least in this case, and it actually performs within a few % of a GTX 980. It's consistently faster than a 970.

1060 is newer

Not to mention, you have 6gb Vram, instead 3,5gb (+ 0.5gb).

 

That 970 should drop by 100 bucks in Price to be somewhat interesting. And even then i'd say, don't buy a 3.5gb Memory cripple.
