Duel 1060 or other?

right, I have built a new computer, this is my first for gaming and for general at home working (currently at college)

I currently am running:

CPU: Intel i5-6600k

Motherboard: MSI Z170A 

RAM: 16gb Vengance 

Graphics: MSI GTX 1060 6GB

Power: Corsair  750W 

 

Im thinking about beefing up the graphics and considering buying another GTX 1060, but otherwise unsure, as 1060 costs around £250+ is there a better option instead of running duel cards and something that is just a powerful where i only require 1 card.

 

Any suggestions to current rig would be greatly welcomed. 

 

Thanks

A 1070 is better, you can't SLI gtx 1060s.

Also your cpu wont bottleneck it so a single card (1070) would be perfect.

Lol man you got fucked by Nvidia

 

1060s don't SLI

 

You could sell the 1060 and grab 2 480s, which do Crossfire

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

He didn't get fucked. You just have to know how to read and comprehend. We all enjoy a good graphic card fight though.

So selling my 1060 then buying a 1070 would be best? would that equate the same amount of performance if I was to Duel 2 different cards with money from selling the 1060?

 

Would the other components handle all the changes?

Yes, get a 1070. 

Your other components will handle the load just fine.

He doesn't want sli. He wants them to duel.
