Two gtx 1050 or one gtx 1060

pieterv3812 · Dec 10, 2016

I know there are lots of threads about this with older generation cards, but should I get two gtx 1050 ti cards and put them in sli or should I get one gtx 1070.

Two 1050 ti would be faster, in games that support SLI, but less stable and more expensive. I always recommend one faster card over 2 slower cards

GTX 1050 (Ti)s aren't SLI-capable.

maestro0428 · Dec 10, 2016

Yeah, no SLI on the 1050. I have run many multi card set ups and although some ran awesome, some did not. They are hard to recommend over a single fast card these days.

Does the 1060 support SLI or should I just buy one 1070 and put it in SLI if I ever need to down the track?

1060 can't SLI either.

I have no idea what your budget is, since this thread went from $120 to $400 really fast.

I'm willing to spend $600 AUD on a gpu.

I see. Get the single fastest GPU money can buy for 600AUD. I was thinking in USD. Anyway, keep in mind that SLI never scales 1 to 1, so two of the same graphics card doesn't yield 2x the performance. It's more like 1.5x in one game, 0.8x in another, and maybe 0x when it overheats in the summer.

If 600AUD can get you a GTX1080, totally. GTX1070, totally. At that point, I wonder what else you have in your system, and if that's worth upgrading as well.

$629 AUS can get you a Gigabyte 1070-pretty good value if you ask me.

My mate has built himself another rig and said I could have his. I think the CPU in it is a Intel core i7 6800k. I am pretty sure it has 16gb of the fastest ram available in DDR3. I don't know anything other than that.

rcald2000 · Dec 11, 2016

As already stated, the lowest end (current generation) GPU that supports SLI is the GTX 1070. In order to help you pick the right card, would you mind finding out the full and accurate specs? i7-6800K cannot have DDR3 memory. Also the i7-6800K just came out and is most like your friend's CPU. In addition to the full specs, also please find out the manufacturer and model number of the power supply. If you open up the case, you'll see the mfr & model # on it's side. So your budget is 600 AUD. Which site do you play to purchase it from? Your game in 1080p resolution? Could you name two or three games that you plan to play, to get an idea of the graphic demands.

I am planning on playing games such as GTA V, Skyrim V, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and NBA 2k17. I also play all of these games with a 3 monitor setup.

rcald2000 · Dec 11, 2016

Get the GTX 1070.
