GTX 1060 6GB question

urbanorder · Jun 20, 2018

Hello guys my old ass GPU died yesterday and now i want to buy a new one. The problem is my build is pretty old(like 5-6 years) and im not sure if i buy the 6 gigs version will it be ok.

Here are my specs:

i5 4670k
z87x-d3h-cf
600W CPU Cooler Master

Im not sure what brand is my case but i can give you photos if its needed. Also i would like to know what exactly are the price difference. Why some cards from the same brand are 20-30e cheaper and so on?

they are more pricey due to one or more of the following:

faster than reference pre-factory overclock
aftermarket cooler design
RGB
"Gaming" in the title.

1060 6gn should work, what's your old card?

So its not a big deal if i look for the cheapest one? I dont care about designs and RGB.

My old one was GTX 560Ti lol

they are priced different due to cooling solutions and features. all 1060 6gb cards will have roughly the same performance. get the one that you can get from a well-known manufacturer if possible with the best cooler and price. of course, make sure that your PSU has enough wattage and proper 6-8pin PCIE power connection. make sure that it will fit in your case as well.

also you need uefi bios not legacy

1060 6GB is a great match with your system, price differences can be as per the reasons stated above but in all reality they all will play the same games at the same settings just a difference of very few FPS between them.

GPUs are very simple upgrades and you'll likely see a very high-level improvement in gaming. I'd look for the least expensive new 6GB version you can find.

urbanorder :

560ti uses more power than 1060 6gb, so it's fine.

if you want to get most value out of the mid range card, choose the cheapest card.

Btw, that is my case. Am i supposed to know if a GPU would fit in?

urbanorder :

I mean, it looks like a standard mid-tower case so the 1060 should fit, however, you should measure it first just to be sure. Also, any NEW 1060 6 GB will be fine. I am not aware of a brand that should be avoided.
