Isn't 1060 for 200€ not sufficient? Never understood the "high-end" fags "muh maxed out gaems" etc.

>>58151592
Probably because you're a poorfag still playing at 720p.

>>58151596

Probably because I rather spend the money going on a nice vacation instead of a worthless piece of junk that will be obsolete in 2 years. Also with 1060 you can max out stuff at 1080p 60 just fine and run stuff on medium with 1440p aswell. It's about being smart here I bet the 970 fags learned it the hard way.

>>58151628
You're right man. The 1070 is a useless card unless you're one of the few people that actually owns 1440p/144Hz. It's just the reddit approved nvidiot card of this generation. >>58151340 is the perfect example. These people have no idea what they're doing.

bought myself a 1070 on black Friday

past few years I've been buying myself all the expensive shit I want around black Friday and asking for stuff that is more reasonably priced for xmas
can't justify asking my family to spend $400 on a monitor or video card

>>58152492
Correct observation about 1060 capability, however, underestimating on the monitor trend.
27" and 30" LCD are already cheap, many people have bought it, so 1080p is no longer a limit for consumer budget

>>58152546

I just don't see any reason to get 1070 so you can play 1440p resolution on ultra when 1060 can do that on high/medium just fine.

Where I live 1060 goes as low as 209€ and 1070 is usually 450€ I mean shieet are those 240€ really worth the negligible graphical difference? And then people make fun of console "gamers" for being dumb.

>>58152546
But if they don't already own a good monitor then they surely don't need a $400 graphics card wasting it's potential in a 1080p/60Hz setup. The monitor should always come first as it will have a much longer shelf life than a graphics card and there is no denying that even though prices are coming down, a good monitor is still going to cost a few hundred dollars. The 1070 isn't even a 4K/Ultra capable gaming card really. It just makes no sense to own one unless you're at 1440p/high refresh rate already.

I just got myself a 2k monitor. COuldn't turn down that Acer monitor that's on sale at Newegg. The only thing I'm worried about now is how long my 1060 can drive it. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

>>58152624
(1) 1060 capability is just "OK" for 1440p
(2) Your region got rip-off with the 240 euro delta pricing for 1070 vs 1060 6GB

>>58152689

"OK" is good enough for my wallet and for those extra 240€ saved I will add a little and get a 2K monitor to enjoy my new GPU with.

>>58152628
You will be surprised that many people have upgraded to large 27"-30" monitor due to the competitive pricing. multi monitors for two panels is no longer needed, an extra push for people who do gaming and work with their PC

Other than KSP,that is,KSP ran better by a whole 300%. GTA V ran WORSE for some reason. At very high settings and with the same card i was getting 30-40 FPS with an i7 6700K and 50-60 FPS with a FX 6300.

Santa is bringing me a GTX 1060 3GB to replace my old 760 GTX.

Should I also ask Santa for a 100GB SSD to install windows on? Is this a good thing, like, will this really speed up my boot speed considerably?

anon the extra $100 every four or so years won't make your vacations that much better. it's ok, just admit you can't afford one

Got this piece of shit in the mail, despite already owning $100 sennheisers that have superb sound and build quality for listening to music, my mom sends me these $30 chinkphones(no I don't 'game', I work a lot on computers in IT), I don't want to be an asshole and return them though, so I guess I could still use the mic on some rare occasion where I may need one, I don't really know.

I didn't ask for anything for Christmas. My family doesn't have a lot of money and I don't want them to burden themselves.

I got myself a Wavetek Model 288 Arbitrary Waveform Generator though. Won for $75 on eBay. Outputs up to 20MHz sine, square, triangle, ramp, etc. Up to 30Vpp. Multiple output impedances, modulation and sweep capability. Pretty nice shit.

I have a 1080p/144Hz monitor and think it is absolutely worth it, as I get ultra qualityplus 100fps+.

To bad Forza Horizon 3 runs like shit on PC, even high end ones.
