Hey guys.

The gist of the story is I've had my 580 GTX forever and honestly I don't really have any performance complaints for the type of stuff I've been playing, and I don't plan to up my resolution anytime soon.

The 580 has been dying for awhile I just didn't want to replace it until a new enough game came along to require a full rebuild.

I need to order something, preferably today to replace this though. I can't wait anymore. And I don't really want to spend more than 300 (cad before tax) seeing as how this old card has kept me happy.

My question boils down to should I buy one of the 1060 3GBs or will something cheap like a 950 keep me content while i wait?.

I would really appreciate the help.

From reading the forums the consensus seems to be get 1060 if you can and 1060 6GB if you can afford it etc.

I don't think i need the 6GB for 1080? and the price difference is quite a bit in CAD atleast.

Was going to just order this unless there's a specific reason to buy another brand for this card.
Side note: does anyone know if this single fan 1060 is good on heat/noise?
