Best Value GTX 1060??

[dannyrj91]

Currently running an I5-6500 with a GTX 770 so wanting an upgrade.
Not going to go above 1080p so thought a 1060 would be perfect but not sure what one haha.
Any suggestions would be great as I honestly have no clue where to start.

770->1060 isn't really much of an upgrade


Really vague example, but only 1 tier higher on toms gpu hierarchy chart

770 to a 1060 is going to give you a big performance upgrade especially at 1080p.

Oops - I apologise then didn't realise there was that much difference (there hasnt been for a while between generations)

The deal above is a great price and needs to be snapped up quickly before prices go back to normal.. DO IT

This is what I was looking at but read on other forums that the mini's are'nt that great..
Might just bite the bullet and go for it.

There certainly not going to be as good as cooling as the dual fan cards but if you have a case with decent air flow that shouldnt be an issue.

Just read as many reviews as you can.

Its a fine card, we've sold 1927 of the 6G card and had 28 returned, 2/3 were faulty and the other 1/3 unwanted. Its a great card and at £239.99 is the last 1060 actually remaining at its regular price it was always sold out before the whole mining craze kicked off.

BE QUICK HOWEVER, Zotac have informed me as of August they shall be doing as other manufacturers have already done and increasing prices due to manufacturing cost increasing, as such in August we might have to kill all voucher codes and just accept for the time being that mid-range cards for next few months are going to be rather expensive, as in 1060's at £300 an 1070's at £400. Not saying it will happen but right not its not looking particular rosey.
