Just bought a barely used 1060 3gb (pic related) for 120€. Was it a good move?

Pretty nice. I got a r9 290 for a similar price roughly a year ago. It will be sufficient for at least 1-2 years for high quality 1080p gayming.

I got a 1050ti new for 100 so no.

You better have some real good airflow to compensate for the subpar single fan cooler.

>I got a card with 60% the performance for ~15% less money in some obscure offer in brand new condition.
Well no OPs deal is better hands down.

For 120 yurop bux? that's almost a steal, nice.

Single fan is fine. Modern cards don't really generate all that much heat, especially not a 1060. If a single fan can cool my 690 then it's more than fine for this card.

Also that's a good buy at the price Op. You should be set for a few years at 1080p.

Very good deal provided it won't die on you within a year. You won't be able to return it or get warranty.

Yes seems like a good move

Got a 4GB RX 560 for 100 a couple months ago lad. Ya got goy’ed.

It does come with the remaining 3.5 years of warranty

>got a much worse GPU for almost that much
I'm thinking you're the goy'd one.

I got mine for $180, it's a dual fan, but it was also a mining card.

>3gb
oh no

I'd say so, I just got the 6 GB version a few weeks ago for ~$300. 120 GBP is noice.

>gbp
op said eur, it's less than 120 good boy points

>All the idiots in this thread saying the 3gb version of the 1060 will be fine for the next 3 years for maxed out 1080p gaming at 60fps.

You guys are a right laugh. The 6gb version is barely enough as things are now. 1070 is the minimum marginally future proof card for the next 2 years at 1080p. We're seeing another series from Nvidia in a year because the 20 series is a cash in, too. So it might only be good for one year until games really start focusing on optimisation for new cards.

I don't even play AAA garbage. I just need something to play a bit. I used a 560ti 1gb until last year and it was more than enough for everything. Go back to /v/ turbofag.

>ahah fool, you should have spent twice for a 6gb card used for mining
i wonder who can be behind this

1060 is more than enough
the 195IQ play is to use the 1060 for the rest of this gen, and then pick up a ray tracing card in a few years.

>a few years

It won't be more than one. The 20 series is shaping up to be a disaster. Nvidia is definitely going to push the 30 series through when AMD and Intel have put out their own cards that aren't overpriced. This time next year there's going to be a ton of new cards. Game developers will be committing to them fully around 18 months from now.

>3GB
nigga that's a different card with less performance than the 6GB version, it shouldnt even be named 1060.

you got jewed.

>this time next year
Intel literally said their card is 2020 in their only announcement.

No matter. The anger caused by the RTX reveal has gamers who held off during the crypto price gouge dying for reasonably priced cards. AMD would do it to get back some market share.

B-but it was USD! And muh GB!

is now the time to buy a 1080ti new in the box retail for $500?

AMD cards coming Q1 next year.

I was having driver crashes because of my 2GB 660ti

I haven't used less than 4536mb vram since I got my 1080ti

>I haven't used less than 4536mb vram since I got my 1080ti
What games? What settings? What resolution, refresh rate etc?

That's a good deal. Be on the look out for cheap used 1070s/1080s/1070ti in coming months.

I got my new 1060 3GB for ~$150 during the first few months. That was a steal back then. It was a steal the year later for sure. It would still be a fairly good deal even today.

Not that guy but my 4 years old 280x has 3 gb of vram and I hit the limit in pretty much every new AAA game I play.

lots of deals like that at our local place too
no box, short warranty, stripped LEDs, etc.
fucking hilarious to see them backpedaling from the cryptoshit

This britbong is probably selling miner cards and i expect the bid to be like 100 to 130 near the end or so. Should i jump in? He also has some rx 580s

That sounds like shitty reasoning.

Games don't necessarily bottleneck due to ram. However there is a sweet balance you need to reach without bottlenecks. Speed/Ram.

On slow cores, more ram can offset easily. On fast cores, less rams can offset easily. The turnover rate is dependent on not just ram but also speed of the cores.

>rx 580

Equivalent to an 1060 6gb, but with 30% more power drain for the performance. Don't pay more for it than you would a 1060.

Should have got a 6 GB, i always go over 3 G of vram in games, especially with AA and filtering, But its not like you shot yourself in the foot, it's STILL a 1060.

I get solid 65-80 FPS at ultra in most games, you should be fine OP

>Twice as much
I could have paid either 250 dollars for a 3GB card or 300 for a 6GB. 50 dollars for more VRAM to throw at filters and extra shit sounds good to me.

Who mines on 1060's anyways, last time i checked they were using 1050ti's and 1070's

It's sane to get the 6GB for less than 15% more if you have any intention of trying VR, 4K or surround without having to buy a new card in less than 1 ~ 1.5 years. If the real-time ray-tracing meme they're pushing now starts to pick up (I hope not, at least not the way they're making it "buy a new NVIDIA card or get forever stuck"), with the 6GB 1060 MAYBE there's a chance of not having to upgrade so soon. With 3GB I'd highly doubt it, unless you're a true Jow Forumsman and just business, some entertainment, no games - but then you only need the iGPU and nothing else.

On a side note, the 1060 6GB is a small beast. Played VRchat (no optimization whatsoever, complete resource hog) with friends in one screen while watching TI8 in-game (max settings) on the second one without any stutter - even with the usual trolls roaming around with those stupid avatar effects. It didn't even break a sweat. I doubt the 3GB one wouldn't run out of memory.

I would rather get a 290 4 GB.
No, the 1050 Ti is shitty and incredibly overpriced. Its 50 % slower but has 1 GB more VRAM.
For 120 its relatively OK, resell value of low price cards doesn't drop as much as highend, he will get a similar price when he has to change again.

A friend of mine is stil happy, I told him to buy a 290 in 2015, he was poor and spent 120 €, now the card is still worth the same, 3 years later.

The 1060 3 G has the same performance, but not enough VRAM. I used it as a sidegrade for my 780 Ti for 4K gaming.

I got a 1080ti 11GB for 500 USD on Friday. How did I do? I don't care for 2000 series.

won a 1 month old 1060 phoenix gs 6gb for 200 eurobucks from ebay yesterday. feels good

unless you were using a card that couldnt even get playable frames, you dun goof'd

coming from a 960 2gb and i play on wqhd 60 hz so its a usefull upgrade for me. should last till the 2019/20 generation easily

maybe interesting for some people those were the last weeks prices for used gpus on ebay germany (direct buy) deduct 10-20 bucks for auctions.

rx 470 4GB -> 140-50
rx 570 4GB -> 160-70
rx 480 8GB -> 180-90
rx 580 8GB -> 180-200
1050ti 4GB -> 140
1060 6GB -> 230
1070 8GB -> 310-320
1070ti 8GB -> 360
1080 8GB -> 400

Yes. Good card, good price. It should last you at least a few years.

The 1060 is a good bit better though.

If you're buying a GPU for €120 you probably aren't going to bitch about having to play on medium or high instead of ultra to get 60 fps at 1080p.

I'd get the 580 at that price.

>bought a 1060 6gb for €200
>full price
I don't have a wojak with a flat enough head

>14 year old with le edgy racism desperately wants everyone to know he knows the difference between 3GB and 6GB
It's 120€, which is below the price of a 1050.

full price is 270 you mong, so its 70 euros off for 1 month of lost warranty

would have done it if there would have been one with less than half a year of usage

is this a good deal?

>Nvidia
>Was it a good move?
No

Yes it is.

Why all the Nvidia hate in the past couple months?

Old hardware all around but yes for that price it's a good deal.

Having to live in LA however is not.

>months
They have always been scum, they just are making it more obvious for the casuals to see.

thanks will it get me 1080p@60

In a lot of games at least. It has a Radeon HD 7970. Search that on YouTube. I think RandomGamingInHD did a video about how it performs in modern games.

On optimised titles, sure. On ACO and Monhun no
