Upgrading a 950

[Photoncreator]

Hi guys. 

 

I'm currently thinking about upgrading my 950. It's a single fan and clocked at around a little bit more than 1000mhz. I'm trying to save money where I can as I'm buying a new power supply too.

Just wondering if the extra $40 is really worth it/necessary. The 1050 TI FTW has 4GB of VRAM opposed to the 3 on the 1060, but I know the 1060 has a somewhat higher clock speed. Just wanting to know what'll get me the best bang for my buck and again, I'm trying to save money and that extra $40 could go towards a new PSU. Thanks for any advice.

If you can afford the 1060 go with that.

Get the 6GB Version of the 1060. The 3GB is slower and not the greatest.

they will both run 1080p resolution fairly well i have a 6gb gtx 1060 in my laptop and it is amazing most games it sits about 60fps have seen it drop a few times. but its not a huge noticeable drop. when i was shopping for my laptop my choices were 1050ti and 1060 and im glad i went with the 1060 if i remember right the 1060 is roughly 35% faster  than the 1050ti

What about a used 980 or 980Ti?

You can get a 980 for about $150 to $200 or a 980Ti for $275 give or take.

I know it's more money but it's an option to think about.

 

Otherwise, go with the 1060 6GB version.
