Hello, I am currently building myself a nice core i7 gaming computer and i finally came down to picking a nice mid-range graphics card. Right now i am choosing between these five, which one would be best?


ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 3GB GDDR5 Super Compact

Sapphire Radeon RX 470 4GB GDDR5 HDMI / Triple DP

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 950 AMP! 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0

PNY GeForce GTX 960 2GB XLR8 Elite Overclocked Graphics Card

XFX RADEON Double D R9 280X 1000MHz BOOST Ready 3GB DDR5

Hm i see. Will there be a noticeable difference in graphic quality between the GTX 1060 and the RX 470?

its depend on your budget im using gtx 950 and its good for most games you can play all games on 1080p with high settings here the list i played games with high preset


assassin's creed unity and syndicate about 30 to 60 fps using very high and some settings set to ultra
cod bo3 and infinite warfare all maxed out and get 60+ fps all the time
bf3 and bf4 multiplayer with max settings about 45 to 70

I know that with the ZOTAC GTX 1060 Mini you can play most high demand games at ultra settings with very minimum lag and at high settings with no lag. But some of the other cards on my list can do the same just with some minor differences. They all are about similar in performance and price ranging from 165$ - 210$ but i'm just confused on which to buy per overall performance.

I did just notice your selection is only the 3gb model, there's not much of a price difference between the 3gb and 6gb models. If the budget it that tight you can back down the i7 to a i5 to cover the cost difference since an i7 is a bit much for just gaming

I'm going to stick with the Intel Core i7 because im not only going to be gaming but also producing/editing/rendering music as well and as per the rendering part, that requires major CPU usage and i know the i7, for just 80$ more, will more then handle such a demand. But thanks for the recommendation. Though i do i have one more question, however i am pretty certain the GTX 1060 will more than hold itself at high resolution in the game DayZ, will it do well at ultra settings?
