Gtx 960 refurbished ?

[Aslam Bugti]

Should i buy gTx 960 4gb refurbished i m getting it for 100$ ? is it worth it?

Don't buy that, you can get a GTX 1060 that performs much better. 

[Thony]

Depends on what the issue woth it was, used 960 goes for that much.

to some. It's not worth it if you can afford it.

But the RX 480 is better with the newest drivers:

And the R9 Fury costs 240$ now which is faster than a 1060 by quite a bit.http://pcpartpicker.com/product/M2mxFT/sapphire-video-card-112470340g

 

Makes both of those cards a better buy, making a GTX 1060 not worth it and your statement invalid...

[SteinerW]

for a 4GB version, that seems like a decent deal.

If you can't afford it save up more money, simple.

The RX 480 (even on the latest drivers) still is beaten by the GTX 1060.

why don't you have a 1080 or a titan, they're better. Could have saved up more money and got something better. Not everyone can save up that amount of money in a reasonable time.

Don't spend money on things you don't need that's what I do.

So maybe he doesn't need a 1060, maybe he only needs a 960.

Not everyone can do this. How old are you?  This is common knowledge. Some people cannot allow themselves to spend this much on a GPU. Some people simply don't need a GPU that's this powerful, GTX 960 4GB would suffice for casual 1080p gaming.

On a sidenote, what's your 3DMark Firestrike GPU score with that overclock? I know that the Nano throttles electrically.

Bullshit. Read the post + review I linked. Hardware Canucks revisited those two cards in terms of performance on current drivers 120 days after launch. Out of 4 scenarios (DX11 1080p, DX11 1440p, DX12 1080p and DX12 1440p), the GTX 1060 was faster only in one and that's by 2%. Making the 480 equal/faster in 75% of cases.

in terms of fps per dollar, it isn't a bad deal. Sure you can get better cards, but as it is the 4gb model, I'd consider buying it. What games do you play?

You're just plain lying cause the 1060 is not worth it over other options atm. It's also not faster than an RX 480 on current drivers which I just proved. And some people might get stuff wrong after reading your advice which isn't a good one.

Its not that he didn't like it, its that your statement was factually wrong.

Are you 10 years old? In a mature argument, you should provide actual facts to back up your statement or debunk facts that the other party provided. You did neither, sticking to your original statement after being proven wrong. Cheapest GTX 1060 6G costs as much as an R9 Fury 4GB Nitro from Sapphire, the Fury is a significantly faster card, so what would make the GTX 1060 6GB worth it? Sure, the Fury draws more power, but if you care about that you can just get an RX 480 8GB which draws much less and still is faster on current drivers.

lets not forget that refub 960 is $100, i don't think even the 1050 is that cheap($110 IIRC). the 1060 is better but not $140 better, not worth it in this case.

Like 17100 graphics score. Yeah it has trouble holding 1125, it runs at anywhere from 1080 to 1125 in firestike. It can hold 1125 in games and other benchmarks though.
