GTX 980 Ti vs. GTX 1060 6GB

[Playboi "Jordan Carter" Carti]

Which one should I get? I found a GTX 980 Ti on Ebay for around 150 dollars, and the normal GTX 1060 6GB costs around 260.

980 ti for $150 is a steal.

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

In dx11 games the to has the leadz being roughly equal with the 1070, in dx12, the 1060 catches up.
If you are happy with the condition and history of the 980ti, and can actually get one for only 150, it's a steal, they are usually considerably more.

980ti for 150 is really cheap.it performs like a 1070 albeit with higher power consumption.

1060

intresting you ask so many questions here and then you simply awnser on other quetsions which is the only awnser outside the consense...


yes GTX 980 Ti is somewhere between GTX 1060 6GB and GTX 1070 and normally still worth around 400-450$. For 150$ you barely get a GTX 1050 Ti which is noticably slower. Just make sure you have a good PSU (at least 520W).

If you've found a legit good deal on a 980 Ti, then I'd recommend it over the 1060 6GB easily. I'd still recommend it over the 1060 6GB anyways, assuming price isn't more than a 1070. It is older, but it is more powerful than the 1060 6GB.

I'd be a little skeptical about the 980 Ti for $150. It could be broken. Since eBay has decent buyer protection, I'd probably go for it.

That is a good deal..

But Drivers are starting to lean more towards current Gen optimization than previous gen, so theres that to consider in the long run.

The 1060 also lacks SLI capability. Lots of rumor amopng people who are claiming SLI is being phased out whenonly 3 way and 4 way are. The GTX 980Ti is by far the better GPU. No new games curently on the market rely on 6GB or even 8GB of VRAM unless you are gaming in 4k resolution. Keep in mind though that SLI does not at all add any VRAM..The VRAM is treated like a RAID 0 hrad disk configuration...the amount of space on each disk is exactly the same, but usage of that space is divided by 2 on each disk.

Not really...the latest drivers for the currently supported GPU's are still being worked on. And with respect there is almost no evidence of this comong from NVIDIA. That rumor has been around since last year. If NVIDIA really put the GTX900 series into legacy support, you would nolonger have frequently compatible drivers in the latest versision availible....Oh and there is this...some people confused the 9 series with the 900 series:

SLI is slowly being phased out, at least it seems that way.

NVIDIA is working on a better solution for multi gpu, to supercede SLI, that'll even work with VR. It is about time we get a more reliable and easier solution for developers.

AMD is even working on another form of multi gpu support to supercede Crossfire.

Pretty neat stuff.

I cannot wait to see what they have up there sleavs. My first hope is that they find a way to implement mixed-multi GPU mode into the drivers natively for Maxwell II and newer in a way that would not require games to natively support it like they have done with 3DVision and PhysX.

980 Ti any day of the year... it's about 2X what the 1060 can dish out.
You are basically getting a 1070 or 1070 Ti for very cheap.

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

Well, it's about 20-25% faster, not really 2x

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well I've had no problems using a 980 Ti for 4K Gaming; something u typically can't do on a 1060 or even on most 1070s

[DefinitelyNotMonk]

Yeah you can, but it's not like you are maxing things out at 4k 60 n demanding games, same way a 1070 or 1080 can't really do it (or even a 1080ti) it's about the same as a 1070 in dx11 but in dx12 the 1070 pulls ahead.
But given the choice the op has, the 980ti is the better choice, especially at 150, hell I'd jump on that for if I had the chance just to have it as a spare lol

[Bad 💀 Motha]

yea can't go wrong with what you're getting for the price; it should be a no-brainer going 980 Ti if your max budget has u at around the 1060 6GB pricing range for max.
