GTX 1050 Ti 4GB vs GTX 1060 3GB

[Biggus Nickus]

Hello,
So,I'm thinking about buying a new GPU for my PC.

FX 6300 @ 3,80GHz
12GB DDR3 RAM
120GB SSD / 80GB HDD
550 Watt PSU

So,my monitor is a standard 1280x1024 TFT.
Which GPU is best for my system for 1280x1024 @ 60FPS(High settings)?
Meaning in games like Witcher 3,War Thunder and such.

The GTX 1050Ti is at ~180 euros while the GTX 1060(Mini ITX version) is at 245.
Thanks in advance :)

Get a GTX 1060 6GB and a 1080p Monitor.

Why holding on to an 80GB HDD; those are from like 2001-2002
What is the 80GB even for? That's like 2 games right there.

[Biggus Nickus]

I want opinions of my current setup,since I cannot afford the 6GB GTX 1060 plus a Full HD monitor..

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Then I'd get GTX 1060 6GB now; then when you can, upgrade the Monitor.
Not sure how things are in Greece; but maybe catch some good pricing deals around the upcoming Holidays. Do they not have cheap 1080p HDTV that would do the job until u get nicer Monitor perhaps?

[Biggus Nickus]

Things are pretty f-ed up but we manage :P
So,the GTX 1060 it is then.
The 3GB version is at 245 euros,while the 6GB is at 295.
Are 6GB really that needed?Also,if anyone knows,is there a difference between the original GTX 1060 and the Mini ITX version?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

No, just shorter is all really.

I'd suggest one like this:

Wait, you're not using a VGA connection are you?
Newer GPUs do not support that. Has to be Digital; DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort

[Biggus Nickus]

I always go for the Gigabyte cards,I dunno,they seem more reliable.
In face,I use a DVI-I to VGA adaptor and all is well :)

Newer AMD RX 400 series and NVIDIA 1000 series will not support that.
The Monitor has to be DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort.
VGA can't be a factor for connection type; it won't work.

If you want to continue using VGA; then you'll have to use an older GPU; such as GTX 950 / 960 / 970

I heard from several sources that some models (probably not all) of Gigabyte GTX 1060 have a coil whine when playing at very high fps. Like the same that happened with GTX 970 of most manufacturers, but this time it's only with Gigabyte models.

That can be ANY GPU out there. If it does that, Return to Seller/Retailer or RMA it through the branded support; simple as that.

my opinion
rx470 4gb card for 200 or less; and get a 1080p monitor.
happy gaming

He's in Greece; what is a $200 USD GPU in USA is around 300+ Euros over there.

Can you go here:
http://pcpartpicker.com/search/?cc=us&q=gtx+1060+6gb
then in the upper-right, choose a Country that uses Euro and let me know which of those countries (for Euro only) is closest to pricing in Greece.

[Biggus Nickus]

That would be Spain.Just a tad pricier than Greece though..

Do you actually need an ITX version? (size problem?)
Otherwise:

Or generally plenty of models to chose from:

But seriously, a 1060 is complete overkill for your current resolution. A 1060/6 would be really nice though if you intend your display anytime soon.

[Biggus Nickus]

How about the 1050Ti?
All I want is High-Ultra at 60 fps on 1280x1024..:(

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Again; You can't use any VGA-Only-Displays
If that is all you have; then you need to avoid newer GPUs such as:
AMD RX 400 series or NVIDIA GTX 1000 series; VGA can't work on them.
Not via a simple DVI-to-VGA adapter.

The reason those adapters work on older GPUs; is because those older GPUs usually have 2x DVI (1x Digital and 1x Digital & Analog); or 1x DVI that supports both Digital & Analog; DVI ports supporting the Analog conversion in the GPU is why a DVI-to-VGA adapter alone can work for VGA displays.

The newer GPUs; their DVI is Digital Only.

For 1280x1024; a GTX 950 or 960 of basically any model; would do just fine.
