Okay after a go through tomsharedhardware users have helped me in choosing my CPU.

I have built a Ryzen 5 PC (1600). I am in a confusion like everything is overpriced in India a GTX 1070 would cost 33-40K bucks depending on the manufacturer, In mean while I found ZOTAC GTX 1070 Mini @26K Bucks. GTX 1060 prices have quite dropped down in mean while. So as I am planning to do Gaming on Ryzen 5 1600 @ 1080p with 75fps. which GPU should I choose GTX 1060 or 1070 Mini by ZOTAC.

If you people want me to choose 1060 can you even name the manufactures and a model name of it? Thankyou.

Which one of them is Future Proof?

The 1070 mini will work great. I have a 1070 founders edition that I run with stock clocks because I only game at 1080p. I get great fps

Factory overclocked cards will just give you few fps more than the stock version. For better experience, 1070 will work flawless at ultra settings on 1080p, the card is even capable enough for gaming at 1440P.

Yeah... I have decided for a 1070. You know that 1070 and 1080 are low on stock so they are putting all the money on Indians like we are paying more money than any other country citizens do. That was the main reason I will fly around near local vendors maybe I will find for even cheaper cost or i will order a 1070 mini from Amazon.

I have checked on primeabgb it's around 32k bucks and in mdcomputers it's around 34k bucks. We are finding cheaper on Amazon by ZOTAC @ 26k bucks. I am seeing if anybody is flying from US to India I will contact them I would get in more cheap rate like 20k bucks I don't know why these vendors are putting a lot of money onto our heads.

Just a reminder, if you are getting it from USA and if unluckily something happens to your card, then you need to ship it back to US for warranty cover. The service center of India wont entertain you if you ask for free warranty replacement or repair.

Yeah I have noticed a thing to inform RX 480 has been king of DX12 and 1080p/1440p since few months ago. Their is a model called Sapphire RX 480 8GB Nitro + if you use a MSI after burner you are able to get a 1800+MHz am not kidding many benchmarks stated that it's true. I think this would be future proof card too. It's even like 21K on Amazon.

Truely speaking, I have very little knowledge about AMD as compared to Nvidia, so I cannot comment regarding its performance. May be you are correct. I have checked few sites, its performance is comparable to 1060 and I think 1070 is more future proof in this case.

At the very beginning I have thought to take this card but later I was attracted to 1060. I have researched a lot about this in past 6months Nitro version updates were pretty differentiable. In furthur years 1060 would go down due to lack of DX 11 and less VRAM as compared to RX series. I have seen the one with Ryzen 1600 it was having only 35%-45% and 63% of CPU USAGE sometimes depending upon game. Why RX 480 Nitro instead of new 580 which is out today in Indian Market because.

1. CHEAP
2. Higher Potential Rate.
3. Nitro has around 400Mhz more than new 580 reference and more power than gaming x of 580.
4. Provides almost equal fps as 1070. (Even your monitor plays a game as per Hertz.)

I dont know bro where you are checking these benchmark results, 1070 is always ahead and there's always a minimum difference of 15-20fps in both cards. Check here: http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/stefan/sapphire-rx-480-nitro-oc-4gb-8gb-review/

The 1070 beats the 480 hands down. Even the mini will. If you have a case with good cooling you will be able to overclock the 1070 too just not as much because of its cooling. I'm sure there must be videos of people overclocking the zotac mini 1070, check those out.
