GPU Help

[Scary4307]

Hi Everyone,
Need help with picking a GPU. Trying to decide between 1060 and 1070 - want to play games at high - ultra and games like CSGO and other AAA titles at 1080p. Want card to last at least a year! Your recommendations?
Thanks!

GTX 1060 6 GB is fine for 60 Hz 1080p. GTX 1070 or 1070 Ti when you have 144 Hz monitor.

^ Pretty much spot on ^

If you want to max stuff out and can afford it, go for the 1070, the 1060 will struggle in some titles.

CS:GO runs 1920x1080p ultra at 144+fps on 1050ti.

Csgo, barely uses the GPU, it depends on the CPU.

Even a G4560 permits 144+fps with a GTX 1050ti on that game.
Is a well optimized and lightweight game.

Wow, I just looked at gpu prices, if I were you I'd just get a $250-$260 GTX1060 3GB just make sure you've got 16GB system ram with those 3GB cards.

Go to 12:24 to bypass. ^

That's saying $459 ^, was it cheaper when you posted it?

I really wouldn’t invest in 3gb, it’ll limit you.

TBH, I wouldn't throw $460usd at a GTX 1060 6GB even if it made coffee too.

1060 is minimum for high at this time on games being released recently. Future games are going to take more. I would recomment at least a GTX 1070.

You could always try to snag a used GTX970 and then Overclock it a bit. I assure you it is enough to run titles at ultra on 1080p

Thanks man, Newegg has/had a PNY GTX 1060 6GB card on backorder for $299.99 + $4.99 S&H, $304.98 total, I ordered it, hoping they do get it back in stock as I have no intention of paying any more for a 1060 from a 3rd party seller, it's not the brand I wanted nor the card I wanted (wanted a 1070 FTW) but it's better then waiting another few month's for the Volta's or upgrading my 5 year old FX build (Cringe).
