I have a gtx1060 it's EVGA SC 6gig one
Still going for £250 new here is my problem
My monitor is a freeSync but that needs a AMD card now I have been offered £180 for my gtx1060 card that would give me the money for a RX 590 which does support freeSync is it worth.me do changing from a
GTX1060 TO RX590 ?
Thanks D

The 590 is only slightly faster than the 1060 but if you're wanting to try FreeSync out then why not.

You might want to check before you swap as Nvidia have started to support monitors that support Freesync. A 590 is a small upgrade on a GTX 1060 6Gb but the 8Gb of VRAM may give the card a longer lease of useful life.

If I was going to the bother of making that switch I'd try and stretch to a 5700 if I were you.

Your GPU supports freesync OP, have you tried enabling it on the monitor and tested it? Rx 580/590 is barely an upgrade, more of a side grade.

Are you sure..? I thought only Turing cards are supported.

10 series too if I'm not mistaken?

Yup, totally sure. It's Pascal cards and onwards it works on, I'm using it on my 1070ti and have been since they announced it.

As the others say, it should work. Make sure freesync is turned on in monitor settings

Nvidia settings - setup G-sync - enable G-sync/gsync compatible - enable settings for selected display model.

Then download the free G-sync pendulum demo and if it shows the g-sync option in that - 'tis workin'.

I literally just turned freesync on the monitor and nvidia drivers enabled it automatically.

See the person who wants to buy my card is on my advice he is using my old 960 at the moment and his PSU only has 6 pin and the EVGA uses the 6 pin and he needs to upgrade is GPU anyhow
So what if I added an extra £50 so with say £230 what would I be able to get.
And thanks for your help

I'll second what Infiniteey said.

1660 Super would be a better upgrade than RX 590. You'd be approaching 1070 territory from your 1060, with the RX 590 you remain where you're at.
