gtx1060 or gtx 970

which one should i buy ?

Overall, the two are close performance wise. Even though the 970 is more power hungry (Usually requiring an 8-pin and a 6-pin power), that is a minor concern for most.

I'd recommend for you to buy a 970 used It should be quite a bit cheaper.

Normally, the 1060 6GB, as it performs on par with the 980 and uses less power. Right now, the cheaper one.

The 1060 has the performance of a GTX 980, not 970.

how much should i spend on second hand 970 ?

Volta and Navi are coming out this year just wait. If you can’t wait, what are you paying for the GPUs and what are you doing on the card.

1060 3gb is about the same as the 970, the 1060 6gb is about the same as the 980

Surely 128 shaders can’t make that much of a difference. Also, at the boost clocks, does the performance difference set the 1060 3GB a little higher?

not really, 2% and 3fps isn't something you'd notice all that much.

6% difference is not that much, to be honest.
