1060 or nah?

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Do you guys think its worth getting a GTX 1060? I play everything at 1080p 60Hz. I have a i5-6600K, EVGA Z170 FTW motherboard, 16GB of RAM, and a MSI R9 270X HAWK. I don't play to many games but I do enjoy games like GTA V, as well as crushing my friends in benchmarks. I like my games to look pretty as well. So basically, 1060 now and save for a car in about a month or start saving now? I am making another dollar an hour as of January 1st so theres that too.

Or should I go for something like a Corsair K70

The 1060 is a great card and will be a good performance boost for you from the 270x. I say go for it if you can afford it.

if your playing directx 11 games or openGL games go for a 1060, if its DirectX 12 then go for the RX 480 8gb

Ok thanks

If GTA 5 is your main game, get a 1060. The 480 is evenly matched in other games, but AMD cards don't do very well in GTA 5 for some reason. They don't perform bad, just not up to par as equally priced cards.

If go Rx 480, although AFAIK the 1060 performs slightly better in GTA 5

Some recent benchmarks show the rx480 (8gb) is beating the 1060 by a small but significant amount usually (3 to 15 fps ).
