So I found this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487263&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Card+-+Nvidia-_-N82E16814487263&gclid=CPjHgeWErNACFYM2gQodZEMPUQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

GTX 1080 at $200.

Is it good enough to replace PowerColor Radeon RX 470 4GB Red Devil Video Card? I mean, I feel like it would.

But it's at $200.. seems too good to be true.

Besides, would it also fit in this build:

The GTX 1060 does outperform a 470.

At 1080p 3GB is fine.

That's the regular price..........

And it performs like you would expect for that price.........

I think you need to go look at this thing called "benchmarks" which tells you how well a GPU performs.

Careful. This forum has become hardened. You can't even use LMGIFY anymore.

Yeah. Moreover, the gap between 1050Ti and RX470 is pretty big. I'd say 1050 Ti is bad for the money.

Honestly, keep the 470. It's a very good card. It's not worth the hassle of trying to sell it to buy a 1060. Just overclock the 470 and you'll be good to go.
