Hy Guys

I look to upgrade a PC with either a GTX 970 or a GTX 1060 3Gb.
The 6Gb isn´t an option because the crypto-mining craze bumped them up to 300+ in my country while both said cards are available for around 200$.

So which one would you recommend me more for 1080p Gaming?

The 970 vs the 1060 3gb is like the older and RX 480 vs RX 570.

On paper they perform similarly but on a physical hardware level both of those 2 cards are actually stronger.

There are points where the 970 will win outright , there are points where the 1060 3gb will win by an similar margin.

I'd still take a 970 personally ifbits of a similar standard model .
970s are generally immensely overclockable , the 1069 3gb models not so much.

Thx for the replies. Well the Card will be used for 1080p Gaming exclusively. Playing mainly Fortnite so far. Also waiting for Battlefront 2 in November. Maybe i play some games like ME: Andromeda or Witcher 3 here and there, but i don´t see me buying a high-end GPU for playing those titles a couple of hours or a bit more. The Games i spend most time on are usually not require the highest specs.

Ok, thank you very much.
I can get a MSI GTX 970 for around 210€. I think i will get that one.
Even the cheapest 1060 6Gb´s are not below 300€... and im already talking of Ebay!
I saw some shops selling MSI 1060 6Gb for 330€...
