asus turbo is a really good card.. if you have a very constrained airflow scenario.

 

and i really dislike they did away with the "hole trough the card" thing which was even more great for such scenarios.

 

EDIT: and with very constrained airflow.. i'm taking shoebox formfactor without vents.

its a bit of an upgrade from an RX470 to a GTX 1060, the 1060 is just under an RX480

 

anyway the gigabyte 1070 is the best of the bunch you listed

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

ASUS has way better thermal solution then Gigabyte.

Go for ASUS Strix GTX 1070. Or in my opinion I would wait to see how vega will perform aginst GTX 1070/1080/1080 Ti

Why do you need to upgrade in the first place, RX 470 - GTX 1060 sounds like you're getting carried away trying to milk unneeded fps

Hey I'd probably 1070 cause 1060 wouldn't be much if an upgrade. I was wondering if you would be selling the rx 470?if so how much for?
