Hi all

As some of you may have seen I created a thread about 1060 SLI but I will be buying one GPU now and one in a few weeks... just wondering if 2 1060's would be ideal...

Also I've seen a few RX480's for around £200.. are they still worth the purchase and could they be Crossfired

I just want more power from my YOU as I can't afford a 1070 or 1080 in one hit
 
I'm just abit confused as people have mentioned on here that they've got 2x1060 working and it performs better than 1x1080 :confused:

They don't have SLI fingers for an SLI bridge. Even if you could get it working your still better off with a more powerful single card. You know your always going to get the better performance as SLI is always a hit and miss as to what titles support it reasonably well.

Yeah I've heard SLI can be a bad choice with some titles... May just stick with what I got and save up for a 1070 8GB as I'm sure that will perform well for a couple of years

If I was upgrading from a 1060, I would skip the 1070 and go for a 1080. You're kind of forced to at the moment, as 1070's are widely out of stock and have had their prices inflated a lot; to the point that they cost as much as 1080s.

Well at the moment I only have a 1050ti Superclocked in my wife's build and I have my old man's old 960 so I want something I'll see a difference with and will do for a couple of years

I don't think there is a huge difference between a 1060 and a 1050ti. Also, the 1060 does struggle to reach 60fps in some modern games today on max settings at 1080p. If you were wanting a card to last 2 years, the 1060 might struggle down the line.

In any case, the GTX 1060, 1070 and RX 580 are way overpriced at the moment, so it would be a bad time to upgrade. I'm in the same boat, and it is annoying having no way to buy a new GPU for a reasonable price.

How about £200ish for a 980 or 980ti for a bit more... is that a step up from a 1060
