NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5

[Th0m4s1234]

Hello. I’m thinking about building a pc and I am new to everything. Is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 worth £230? I would appreciate some advice for buying a graphics card. Thanks

Considering I bought my Asus GTX 1060 3GB for £202, yes.

 

Just make sure the card you're buying is from a good brand and has good cooling, and you're good to go. What brand of card are you looking at?

I'm very new to all of this so i only know the basics of everything. I'm buying this 2nd hand from a shop that re sells things. its nvidia. thank you for that. This will be my first pc build

If it is a Fouders Edition (manufacturer = NVIDIA) and the card is used, then I would't spend £ 230.

Do you have a webpage that lists the second hand card that you want to buy?

I can't comment too much on the price since I am not in your region and it's difficult to keep up with the wildly fluctuating GPU prices nowadays. However, if you are going to be gaming at 1080p and 60fps it's still a damn good budget card. You will be able to play many games on Ultra still and when you do have to turn down settings it won't make a tremendous amount of difference. A lot of settings in games now are downright superfluous and provide very little difference in quality compared to their fps cost. Sometimes you can cut something like shadows down from Ultra to high and gain over 10fps while not noticing much change.

This is the company that is selling it. I'm not sure as to others being able to see this in different region

Your going to be better off spending a little more and either grabbing a 980ti or a 1070, much more worth than a 1060, the performance boost is much more worth, and it gives you room to expand to sli in the future

I'm not very familiar with the UK prices, but £ 230 seems reasonable for a used Founders Edition 1060 6 GB, especially when you consider:

- @MiNy bought her 3 GB ASUS card for £ 202;

- the store offers a 24 months warranty (https://uk.support.webuy.com/support/solutions/articles/17000055478--is-there-a-warranty-on-items-that-i-buy-from-cex-)

I know CeX well, I bought my i5-650 I got for £6 used. £230 is a nice used price from CeX. It's sweetened by the fact that CeX offers warranty for what you purchase.

 

A new Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Founders' Edition is £279.99 too on their website, so £230 really is quite a nice deal for a 6GB 1060 used.
