maybe 10fps? what you are paying for is the looks and extra features and ofc the cooler for overclocking and the binning of the chip

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

I'd say it's negligable tbh no way in hell will you see a 10 fps difference as they all clock to at least 2000 and the max is 2150 and it's all lottery

Personally go with the cheapest option that doesn't have a blower style cooler (minus the evega non SC since it doesn't cool properly from reviews I've seen)

Most probably a difference of a few fps due to overclocking and the effectiveness of the fan to be quiet and keeping the chip cooled

10  fps in witcher on 4k or 10 fps in csgo on 1080p ? The main game I play is WoW on 1080p, But I meant in % gain. 10 fps is, unfortunately unrepresentative,

And yes, I know I don't need GTX 1060 for WoW, but I'm going to buy new PC, and thats the entry anyway. Due to previous experience, not a huge fan of Radeon...

I'm just curious, what I actually get for paying more.

It's not going to be 10fps in any way shape or form the max difference will be around 7% but it's not going to be based of price rather it will be luck of the draw.

depends on how shit the worst one is and how overclocked and stabile the best one is but yah 10fps was a bit extreme tbh
