I'm a jew and autistic when it comes to picking out the best thing for my money. I could get the 970 for 200 Eu (new, on sale, 12 month warranty)

https://www.zotac.com/product/graphics_card/gtx-970-amp-extreme

or the MSI 1060 3gb mini for 220 Eu (new, 36 month warranty).

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1060-AERO-ITX-3G-OC.html

The 970 can reach 1060 6gb levels of performance when overclocked. Which one should I get? Or should I wait for Vega? Are they even planning to release a mid-range Vega?

980 4gb here isn't worth it for the price (on sale for 290 Eu), and the performance increase is only around 15% over the 1060 in most games

Shalom. Jews are very welcome here unlike pajeets.

Good luck finding any decent RX series card not for a small fortune with all the mining retards bringing the prices up. All stores here are out of stock and even if they were in stock they're priced at 450 Eu and up (RX480)

it performs about the same as a 1060. Is there any reason to pay 20 Eu less and wait for possibly months?

970 have more VRAM and has been patched so the shitty part of the RAM isn't as handicapped even though it's still running the slow speed.
1060 is newer has less RAM but all RAM is the same speed.
Thus doesn't cripple itself as much.
It's also having better performance at 1080p which I think you'll use.

1060 3GB no doubt.

So it's either be a goy or a pajeet?

I'll just neck myself

>>60895897
Those are some shitty options. Get a used 980ti for 200€
>>
>>60896310
I'm paying 10% more for around 10% performance boost from the video results, which is fair enough, i'm just thinking which one would age better, since i doubt i could get a decent overclock on that single fan card
>>
>>60896307
fck off, jealous goy
>>
>>60896338
How are they shitty for the price? Genuinely curious. The 1060 was 210eu yesterday, which pisses me off.

>Get a used 980ti for 200eu
Impossible here, people are buying used 1060 6gb's for more than that
>>
buy a 1060 and then lose all desire to play any video games and regret spending the money on a gpu

I know how this game is played
>>
>>60896482
I'm using a gtx660 right now and it's about time for an upgrade, i don't think I'll regret buying it. Also nobody answered my question about Vega - are they planning on releasing a mid-range card? Or are they only targeting the top end?
>>
Are ITX form-factor cards as powerful as dual-fan full sized ones?
>>
>>60896418
They will both age like shit because of the low vram
You should hold out for a 1060 6gb or save up for a 1070/low vega. In current year + 2 I would not buy a card with less than 6gb even for 1080p.
>>60896509
it is a mystery
>>
>>60897955
New games are all trash anyways, and out of older ones i can only think of gta online that would use more than 3gb of vram.

Out of the two which one would you suggest buying though? I don't want to buy a more powerful gpu cause my rig might just bottleneck it and I'd be wasting my money until I upgrade the entire build.

>>60897993
Endless Space 2 looks good
I have no experience with Nvidia cards, I have always bought ATI because they've had the best value per dollar at the times I happened to need a new card. I also have no idea how much a euro is worth in dollars. I would go with the new 970 and oc like you said, assuming you have heat capacity to spare in your itx case. I considered it when I was building a pc last year, I regret cheaping out for the 380x instead. But I'd save up for a 1060 6gb because I'd hate to be locked into a card with not quite enough vram for a new game that takes me by surprise. You never know when a game that looks like shit from the promo turns out to be really fun or a new studio had a first tussle that's good or an unknown cult game will hit the mainstream.

Always something you can do.

>>60898572
I have an ATX case, the ITX card is just cheaper, as for saving up, I have the money, I just don't like spending it cause I don't play a lot of games these days.
>>
>>60898715
I feel bad about spending money on myself, but always regret it when I have to live with below average performance
is the price difference that big?

>I feel bad about spending money on myself, but always regret it when I have to live with below average performance

i know that feel brother, as for the price, the 6gb one is 70-80 Eu more (which is like a quarter more, for not that much of an improvement in performance), and will only be in stock 5 days later
