1050 ti or 1060?

[Jessentis]

I want a budget multi monitor setup for light gaming on medium settings and im not sure if the step up from a 1050ti to a 1060 is worth it for the money especially as im on a tight budget and i want to try and spend less than £200 ($260) on the gpu and i would very much appreciate any savings i can get and if the step up to a 1060 is worth it should i get the 3gb or the 6gb

rx580 8gb would be better, you can pick it up for less.

i want a card that has a lower TDP though because my dad always complains about my computer apparently using to much electric and it would also help out with cooling because i want a fairly quiet computer and in the uk the rx 500 series is all more expensive than rrp be quiet a bit and the rx 580 8gb is about £250-300 and i dont want to spend that much

if you are worried about TDP 1050ti will be better, for performance 1060 6gb would be good.

580 8GB or 1060 6GB, do not get the 1050Ti its awful in its price range.

 

EDIT: I'd rather contribute to the electricity bill than downgrade to a 1050Ti. Btw as parents do your dad is probably largely exaggerating... My gf and I game on our PCs at the same time ALOT and our household bill is £36 a month.

If you run your system under load for 4 hours every day of the year, you'd save like $5/year by going with a GTX 1060. The electric savings are pretty small.
