GTX 1060 is quite old and thus it's price varies a lot. Could you be more specific?My budget will allow for a gtx 1060 is this an upgrase from a r9 380 (doesnt have to be huge difference)
I need a nvidia card which is a slight upgrade or replacement for an AMD (4gb) I currently have. What would you recommend. I want to use redshift renderer and octane but they dont support amd cards. BTW I have 600w psu
Thanks
I would rather go for the 2060 or 1660. The 1060 wouldnt be that much of an upgrade unless you can find it for a super cheap price. The single fan design isnt good as well as thermal would be bad. Also, are you sure you're not getting scammed? I have never heard of a 4gb 1060 before, only 3gb and 6gbThx guys will check these out. I was thinking of 4gb gtx 1060(single fan). Will that be an upgrade from a r9 380

But considering that GTX1650 Super is "Super" affordable, i think the 1060 is not an option. GTX 1650 Super easily blows 1060 (and other competitors) out of the waterWhile true, a 1660 or 2060 is a better option vs a 1060, (unless a killer deal is to be had) but I feel I must give the 1060 a little love as the 3gb was a very capable GPU and is faster overall vs the 380. As for temps, I had an EVGA 1060 6GB SC from almost the day it was released back in 2016 up until this past Christmas when I got my 5700 XT and it was the little GPU that could and idled around 23-26c which is hardly hot and would on occasion hit 45-50 under gaming load. This was on EVGA's stock single fan. Of course I made sure it was always clean and so excess heat could never build up.
You are also quite right that there was only a 3GB & 6GB version of the card, though I did read an article a couple years back that there were plans of giving the 1060 11GB like the 1080 though I never was able to find any proof of its existence later.
Just a friendly disagreeance.

Hi @Nigel94
A 1660 would be a nice upgrade as would a 2060. There are similar GPU's close in price, such as the 1060 which is a great GPU but for a few $$ more you can get a 1660 which is a newer & overall faster card. If you have even a few $$ more, then a 2060 would be a very nice upgrade.
While true, a 1660 or 2060 is a better option vs a 1060, (unless a killer deal is to be had)
Yes. But let's hope his budget is at least enough for the "cheapest but well performing" gpu (the 1650 Super)These theory builds of which GPU to get are moot if his budget is less than what a "super" 1650S goes for.
