Although its Base clock and Boost clock (whatever that means) isn't as high as the  3 gig 1060.

I've only been visiting Evetech on occasion, and teasing myself at upgrading my GPU. If I were to do an upgrade, I will probably get the 1060 3 gig.

bmw1za, have you considered Radeon as an alternative?

RX 570 8gb going for R3899.

 

I'm thinking I MIGHT go the Radeon route when it comes time to upgrade.

I had a killer pc back in varsity, worked every vacation to upgrade it. Can not remember the specs, but it was an AMD with radeon card. 

 

was a beast!!

Problem I have with AMD cards is they turn legacy at some point and AMD doesnt release new drivers so the newer games wont run on them even if they would still work (there are hacks to fix this). Nvidia has support way further back and cards tend to last bit longer in the scheme of things.

My first ever real graphics card was an Ati X1600XT, although I had an Intel CPU to go with it. I've read stories of compatibility issues with an Intel CPU and a Radeon card, yet I've heard from others that there shouldn't be a problem.

That I didn't know.

 

I'm still getting driver updates for my 660, I think I'll stick to Nvidia then.

My first graphics card was a state of the art Matrox Millenium 16mB which set me back R2000.

Mates of mine had Voodoo2's back in the day. The days when I was mainly a console gamer.
