What exactly is the point of GTX x60 cards? If you want a budget

I had a GTX 660 which I think was good bang for buck at the time.

For the 10 series, the 1060 is perfect if you want to stay at 1080 @ 60
But like you said, the rx 480 is generally cheaper and it also pretty much has the same frame rates.

tl;dr nvidia fanboyism on the cheap

In Australia, I bought a gtx 1060 6GB last year because it was 20 bucks cheaper than a 4GB rx 480.

>if you want real good stuff you get a 1070.
fuck that.

why even have anything in between?

just 1050 and 1080 series is all you need.

poorfags need to learn how to save money.

sorry you had to spend your entire savings on a budget card

>>59384650

>while being cheaper

In Poland, GTX1060 and RX480 (customs) had exactly the same price - around 1300-1400 PLN.

I picked AMD this time, however.

>$900
What

Hijacking the thread a little, for 1440p @60fps gaymen, is the 1070 good enough? mind you that I probably won't wanto to use absurd settings like 8xAA

>>59385511
yes

>>59385511
It's THE card for that

thanks famalams

Which cards are the upcoming AMD cards meant to compete with? Obviously Vega is supposed to be the counter to the 1080Ti, but is the 580 meant to go against the 1070? From what I've seen so far it seems to be basically just a 480 clocked a bit faster

Still run my 560ti

There isn't an RX480 that fits in my case.

I'm very happy with the 1060 I have. It was on sale for $185 several months ago and it plays Skyrim max settings 60fps and everything else at 60 fps as well. Witcher 3 max settings is the only game I have that it can't do 60 with max settings, it does 45 and I'm okay with that. With a 1080p 60Hz monitor the 1060 is perfect.

>>59384650
got my 1060 3gb at 1050ti price on some special discount day, so i guess it was a fine choice for $180-ish with free shipping

>>59385305
For unknown reasons amd cards are usually pricer than Nvidia in Brazil, probably due to distribution channels and tax reduction. Several series beside the cheap one were consistent more pricey since 7000

>>59385641
still run my 6870
best price:performance ever
srsly still nothing compares

How much did it cost, senpai?
I only started following things in the last year when I started thinking about building my own.

All the information needed is reflected in the price.
The fact that the GTX 1060 6 GB is more expensive (really not by much) indicated that the representative buyer sees it as generating more utility than an RX 480, such that the marginal utility per dollar is identical between the GTX 1060 6GB, RX 480, GTX 1070, hell even a GTX 1080 Ti.
Otherwise, the prices would be bid up or down accordingly. There is a reason MSRP isn't followed a lot of the time.

>>59386365
So you're saying it's more expensive because nvidiots think it's better even if it's not?

>rx 480 meme

you kids sure love your reddit, don't ya

>>59386396
No, the representative buyer is not biased between Nvidia and AMD. The representative buyer is approximated by all the buyers in the market. So take all the fanboys of Nvidia, and all the fanboys of AMD.and average their preferences.
Both are around the same level in benchmarks and real world performance, but there are also other considerations. Want the best drivers for Linux? Nvidia proprietary drivers. Want decent open source drivers in Linux? AMD.
Shadowplay adds value to Nvidia cards.
Risk attitudes might also affect what someone will buy. Additionally there is the cult factor. But the representative consumer takes the average of everything everybody wants.

It performs a lot better than the 1060 does on resident evil 7.

>>59385511
Should do fine, a 390x can still push most titles QHD @ 60fps and it's only about 75-80% of a 1070

>>59387953
Not even a nvidiaboy but that game fucking sucks.
The 480 is the superior video card.

>>59388339
I love that game.
It's the only modern gen I play

>>59388026
is the tdp difference worth it? I'm looking at this 1070 here: https://www.asus.com/us/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/specifications/

I will buy 1060GB for deep learning. I'd buy RX but AMD has crappy support in that area.

1080p. 1050ti is a little underpowered, and 1070 a little overpowered for that resolution. If you want the most for your money. Obviously a 1070 would see an improvement at 1080p.

1060?
