Should I buy it?
>>377515947
sure, it's a superb 1080p/60fps card.
Don't be a poor fag. Nut up and get the 1080 ti
>>377515947
Don't go MSI
>>377515947
Is it the 6GB version?
Do you want to play in 1080p 60fps at Very high or ultra?
Then yes
Is it the 3GB version?
Then no
>>377515947

>>377515947

>>377515947
>GTX 1060
Only if you're really on a budget, you can score a GTX 1070 for 30-40 more.
3GB version is also almost not worth it.

is the asus 6gb 1060 gtx any good ? I want a white gpu for my rig
Go with EVGA. They're the best company when it comes to the GTX cards

Not on ultra settings.

I have almost exactly the same PC.
GTX 980 (non-TI)
i5-4670k (4200mhz)
16gb DDR 3.
Didn't even care about 10xx GPUs because there are simply no games I'm interested in to justify the purchase and play them on my 24" monitor.
I actually want to upgrade my CPU first to 7700k, gonna need to buy a new mobo and DDR 4 as well so it's not very cheap.
When the 1080gtx came out I made the jump to 1440p and for me personally it's been one of the most satisfying upgrades I've made for my PC since I originally built a PC in 2005. Altogether one of the most expensive as well though, if you want a 144hz 1440p monitor they are still very expensive.
>>377516151
I did! Been playing doom 2 at 600 fps. So smooth
>>377515947
Is that AMD or Nvidia
>>377516439
Yes, even on Ultra settings, though in most games out there at the moment, Ultra settings provide almost jack shit compared to "just High".
Even the 3GB fares very nicely with shit like GTA5 and TW3 at 1080p:

Can you read?
Is 16gb a meme or required these days
Been rocking 8gb Rams for four years
>>377516903
Is 1060 faster than 980?
Because I didn't have 60 fps / 1080p with all ultras in:
New Hitman
Dishonored 2
Mankind Divided
No.
get 1080ti, its currently the best one in the market
>>377517596
Why not take 2.5 1060s instead of that?
>>377517464
No 1060 is slightly better than 970
>>377517464
980 is garbage. 1060 is equal to it for cheaper and lower power
>>377517464
The two cards are surprisingly well tied actually:

>>377518056
well duh, its the newest gen
>>377517464
they are about the same, I think the 980 overclocks better
>>377515947
480/580 + freesync would provide a better budget experience
1060 and 480 are legit some of the best midrange price/performance cards there have ever been. You really can't go wrong with them if you're looking at 1080p. Although at this point with the new line of cards on the near horizon it might be better to hold off and wait.
>"JUST WAIT"
Yeah, I know but they are coming up fairly soon.
