Gtx 980ti vs gtx 1060 6gb

Yellow Hammer · Feb 22, 2018

So im looking to buy a new gpu to upgrade from my r9 280 however due to the cryptocurrency craze im unable to find good prices on gpus. That being said it seems to me second hand gpus are the way to go. Ive found a few gtx 980tis for just £300 and bids for lower (second hand) while gtx 1060s are near the same price sometimes even more. So should i go for the scond hand gtx 980ti or wait for the prices to drop then buy a gtx 1060.

The 980ti is on par with the gtx 1070. So if you can find a good 980ti it'd be the best performance option.

Yeah the 980ti will smoke the 1060 in performance, however you need to be careful since alot of 980tis were used for mining, so the card could potentially have been used very hard.

I'm not doubting, you know about graphics cards but based on what I looked up the 980 is only 5 to 10% better in certain areas. They seem to be almost equivalent, again I dint to to much research. I recently purchased a 1060 6gb, upgraded from 1050ti and man its a major improvement. And I thought the 1050ti was great. But due to the gpu mining situation I was able to get a 1060 for 315 and sell my 1050ti for not much less so it was a no Brainer just had to shop for a good deal

Ar eyou talking the 980 or the 980ti? The 980ti is about 30 percent better then the 1060 and is equivalent to the 1070.

Op is talking about the 980ti not the 980. Theres a good performance difference between a 980 and a 980ti. My 980ti regularly matches and even exceeds some factory oc'd 1070s.

You are correct my bad

Thanks for the replies however i believe most of the second hand gpus i find would hav eprobably bren used for mining. The gtx 980 is going for under 300 and the gtx 980t for a bit over 300 while as you guys probably the gtx 1060 is sky high at 300 so im wondering if i should wait till proces on current gen drop or buy used a gpu now

Yellow Hammer :

The 1060 6GB or at least the least expensive price I saw was $289. $300 isn't sky high.

I purchased a 970 FTW and it died about 3 months after I purchased it. After an RMA and a week I had a new 970 FTW. I invested $329 for that card. I want some insurance on my end if I am going to have $300+ on the line. I agree that that's a good price but it's also a bit of an easy-out that brings a significant risk with it.

Thats a good deal but in the uk the cards are at £300 which would be near $400 also when did you buy the gtx 1060?
