gtx 1060

[quadrx]

hello everyone! my old graphic card died, so i decided to buy a new one, i stopped at gtx 1060 3gb, but which one should i buy? asus or msi or whatever and why? 

My PC specs are: 

i5 4690

b85m-ds3h

16gb ram ddr3 cl11

[bleedblue]

Whichever is cheaper. Although I would recommend waiting for the next gen. They should be juuuust around the corner.

[AskTJ]

Look for a used 560/570/580. What is your budget?

No one should buy a 1060 3GB

 

Grab an RX 570/580 or 1060 6GB instead, though the RX cards get you free-sync which is usually way cheaper than G-sync.

and ya next gen GPUs get announced on the 20th most likely.

[Shimejii]

get a 1060 6gb or a RX 580/480 used. No point in buying a pregimped gpu. Its like buying a half eaten cookie, nobody wants a half eaten cookie. :L(

My budget is about 280-290$. Why none should buy 1060 3gb? And why do people recommend 560 so much?

[quadrx]

Games I wanna play are PUBG and a little bit of GTAV, maybe some the crew 2 idk.

Indeed, RX 580 4 GB is a better buy. Prefferably thr 8GB if you cam afford it

What country?

 

the 3GBs of VRAM is likely too limiting for the long haul. And the card has no reason to exist other than to trap people or for OEM machines. As they released a 5GB 1060 that would have made more sense.

Its a different card from the 6 GB while being 10% slower. The 3GB Vram isnt enough for some today's games and definitvly not future games. Its a bad overall value when you can get a 4GB RX580

Then I don't know where you can get parts or their prices, but there's a german part picker link anyways.

 

RX 580s are cheap on it

This gigabyte card seems to fit your budget though it may not have the best/biggest cooler, just shop around I guess

Sapphire/ASUS/XFX/MSI Gaming X(only)/ASrock are all decent

tbh somewhy im afraid of the core frequency its 1700 mhz on 1060 and 1300 mhz on rx580 is there any difference?

i'm not very into this so i don't get some things about graphic cards and computer hardware at all, so i may ask some sort of stupid questions

RX 580s have higher "IPC" vs 1060s, frequency can't be compared on GPUs

Basically they do more work in a clock cycle vs nvidia, but can't clock as high because of it.

what is your opinion, will i get at least 100-120fps in pubg with 580 8gb on low settings?

It has roughly the same performance as the 1060 6GB, it'll be fine, just gets you the extra VRAM and free-sync savings.

 

aside from PUBG because the game runs horribly on any PC.

and also im afraid of buying mining version as it has 3 month of guarantee only, and if we look at the dual version 8gb which has 36 month of guarantee we will see the same price as 1060 6gb :\

for me it is important bc a friend of mine bought pny 1060 and after 5-6 month it just stopped working and if he didn't have guarantee he would have just wasted his money

Well that weird, we don't really have those in the US

There's a 4GB that fits your budget, has like 95% the same performance as the 8GB model, think it has the standard warranty

Is that the only shop?
