I care about how it performs in games thats probably the OPs main concern as well, the 1060 performs better than the 970 in almost every game. It performs more on par with a 980. Both the 1060 3gb and 1060 6gb are better cards than the 970 for gaming. Here is a 16 game average benchmark, if that is not good enough for you I will show the 1060 beating a 970 in individual games as well. For a gpu thats for gaming, yes FPS is one of the primary concerns.

''Amazon and found several of them that mention that they are using that exact adapter with GTX 1050 and 1060 cards on their VGA monitors. I don't see why it wouldn't work for the OP.''

then buy it? if I thought it was that easy would I have got a 900 over a 10?? see what you don't get is the 900 card does more then any 10 series card

does the 10 series work with xp ? no crt / vga monitor native ? no win- vista - no , no ,no and I'm spending my money on that ??? then don't be surprised if NVidia removes 7 support from the 10 series like they did for the 900 , lucky I downloaded and saved the xp drivers before they were ''removed'' and one came on the card's driver disk as well

as they say to each his own .. I got plug and play not jump through hoops at my extra cost the 900 works with all my needs the 10 cant is all I'm pointing out

buy that card and buy that adapter its just one more thing you got to worry with may work and last may go 4 months may just best buy a new monitor that supports the card and be done with it ?? I just rather pay one price for a card that got it all covered out of the box ????

any way once more . good luck

Edit: it doesn't look like my links are working for some reason. I opened these reviews in a separate tab and copied the link but when I click them it just takes me to the main store page for the adapter. If you scroll through the reviews you will find them though. They are both on the first page.

I dont think so, it does not say it converts digital to analog anywhere in the description. I think thats a regular adapter designed to look like an active adapter.

I would go with the one you linked to first for the extra $5. This new one you linked to doesn't say it is an active adapter. There is also a review of someone with a 1080 who says it doesn't work for them. If it doesn't work with the 1080 it probably won't work with a 1060 either.

Edit: Dunlap beat me to it.

''No, not in my opinion. The 1060 is a better card than the 970 with or without analog support''

GTX 970 Engine Specs:

CUDA Cores 1664CUDA Cores
1050Base Clock (MHz)
1178Boost Clock (MHz)
109Texture Fill Rate (GigaTexels/sec)


1060
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores 6gb 1280 3gb 1152

Base Clock (MHz) 1506

Boost Clock 1708


now whats the stronger card ?? think if you were to overclock the 970 to the 1060 speeds the 1060 would be so far behind its not going to be funny

this is where you got to stop looking at the hype and more to the facts

the poor 10 series are clocked so high they got to preform better clock for clock then you got gpu boost 3.0 on top of that

more to it then just FPS ... but that's all anyone sees ''HYPE'' then your still trying for a solution to make the card work with your stuff ???? spend unnecessary money to support the card . or but a 900 series that will work for you and your current hardware . no brainer

and don't forget you cant sli a 1060 or 50 if ever wanting to do that even the poor old 960 allowed sli another thing you now short changed with a 1060/50

i'll bet if you look you see they used a bottom line 970 not a good aftermarket card that's one of the ways they fool you on them ''hypemarks'' all about tricking you in to a sale

then there using a skylake to test the 1060's not a haswell there's a gain , see like I said look past the hype and more at some fact

like I said if you clocked a 970 as high as a 1060 the 1060 would be in the dust cause there not far a part as is [get it ] ??

just like here bf4 notice the 970 is tested with x4 AA ?? the 1060 is not ?? so now what card is getting the advantage ?? lets see that 1060 at the same 4xAA and watch it fall

like I say all you see is the hype as they want you to see to sell you a card and a card that cant do as much as the older series can on top of that

then notice there not quite the same games all you give is a what ever you don't know jack 16 game average where anything could be manipulated to insure the 1060 show a better result and how it funny you never see a ''bad'' review , hmmmmmm......... all new cards are great ,right

thing is he buys a 10 series and a adaptor and find that's not cutting it for what ever reason then he's buying another monitor that so called 200 buck card just got expensive

another sad thing is all the great deals on 900 cards are gone like I got my 980ti hybrid for 411$ then had a 30$ rebate on top of that ?

if you just bought that monitor maybe exchange it / rma for one that works fully with the newer cards ??

no point fooling with a analog monitor and a all digital card and all this mess to start with

We have two very different definitions of the word fact. I guarantee a 1060 would do better in bf4 at any settings. Here is a toms hardware benchmark using the ultra preset which enables 4x msaa in bf4. I'm sure you will say this was "manipulated" as well to suit your view point. Are there any benchmarks you do trust? Or is everything a conspiracy to you?

They would both do the same thing. Digital signal to analog.
