So, my 1060 died while basically on idle, I was recording a game

It was a piece of sho shitt and any of hundreds of components died. RMA it.

>big suprise

should have bought a 480

>>58311615
I sent the request in, thanks.

>>58311677
Yeah, and the only one having this weird ass problem was me, fine.

>>58311713
Zotac, the small factor one as in my picture, 6GB.

>>58311744
AMD is not my thing, thanks for the kind suggestion.

Shit happens man it's just bad luck.
If you're within warranty rma it.
If not, it could be literally anything. All the individual components come from a variety of suppliers, all of which have some chance of premature failure, even the very best ones. You can remove the cooler and look for obvious shit stains, but failures aren't always dramatic enough to identify without some special equipment.
And even then you need a steady hand with a soldering iron.

Time to get a superior RX 480 man

RX 480 or 1060 3GB?

I can't decide.

>>58312604
3gb is just not quite enough I have found.

>>58312650

So, should i pick the rx 480 4gb?

i'm poor.

>>58311516
Why don't you just send it in for a RMA?

>>58312676
then wait for Vega and the 1080 Ti to compress the high end prices down. Should lower prices on the 480 to $150 probably.

>>58311516
1060 or 1060 amp ?

If you got the non amp then your fault, its 2016 and relying on heatsink without proper heatpipes hsf designs just asks for it.

Unless its a 1050 or 1050ti then the normal hsf would work.

kek my zotac gtx 1060 is running great since day 1

>>58312676
That or save some money for a i5 and a r9 fury

>>58312676
rx 470 4gb will save you the most munny and and be your best bang for your buck

>>58311516
Go for the oventrick.

>>58312604
Two 2gb gtx 760's in sli, prove me wrong.
>protip: you can't
760s are pretty cheap now.

My Zotac 1050Ti is so cool it's endothermic
