After months of waiting for the GPU craze to die down, I've finally gotten a chance to grab a GPU to finish my 1st PC build. Now comes the hard part, I'm trying to decide between a Gtx 1060 6gb or Gtx 980, both preowned.
The 980 is $250, and the 1060 is $260 Asus dual 6gb OC. The 1060 has warranty still.
I would grab the 980 since it's cheaper, but it seems like it will result in greater energy bills.
I pay around 17C /kWh. And I have a Ryzen 6 1600, with one hard drive, and a Gigabyte Gaming 3 mobo, with a 520W PSU. Not sure if it's worth getting the 1060 over the 980 or vice versa. If I get the 980 how much greater bills can I expect to incur? I read that the 980 is around 175W.
Thank you very much!
