Hello , i have a question. I can buy used stix gtx 980ti or new 1060 6gb ( price difference is about 10e). Which one would you guys suggest?

The 980 ti performs better, but you get a warranty with the 1060 6gb.

I would probably get the 1060 6gb with the warranty.

I agree, it’s wroth a gamble if you knew the seller personally, like a good friend selling hw for upgrades, if it’s ebay or craglustlist no, There are lots of scammers, if you can verify that the card is indeed a 980ti, and the card is not a mining card. 980ti give you a much better performance boost over the 1060.

Also it has to do with the fps and resolution expectation of your setup. 1080p should be fine for both, In cases of 1440p gaming, the 980ti has a slight edge over.

Well i don't know guy personally but i live close so i can check gpu visually, it's still in his pc i think, but still he didn't answer if he used it for mining.

I would use it for 1080p gaming.

It depends also what games you play, and at what resolution. If it's at 1080, the GTX 1060 6gb is more than enough. If at 1440 or even 4K(mid-to-high settings), I'd go with the more powerful GTX 980Ti.
