Can you pick a GTX 1060 6GB?

Can you pick a GTX 1060 6GB?

It's off the budget and I'm not from uk.
My friend is going to deliver it for me so I don't think that i should look at b grade gpus. I don't know is there a chance that the b grade gpu will have shorter life span?
For now i think the msi gtx 1060 3gb is best but idk

 

[hdgaming]

Go for the rx 480 8gb, the 3gb vram on the gtx 1060 is not really enough for ultra settings in most games.

If you're wanting to know the best performance to price of those cards you linked, obviously it has to be the RX480 Nitro+, you can decide if you want to pay 194.99 or 169.99 for exactly the same card 🙂

 

[TehPenguin]

Either the 480 4GB or the 470 4GB. If they're close, price-wise, get the 480.

 

[AceMew]

Umm answers seem good but I wanted to know which from the listed above as I said I'm not from UK and I don't know the shops. Also if I get amd gpu I will miss nvidia' s shadow play . Amd's raptr software is bad IMO

This one from the list.

Whats your budget exactly?

 

[AceMew]

My pc is:
I5 2400 3.1GHz
8gb ram
1tb hdd
Gtx 950 (atm)
My power supply is 500 watt
As I said I'm not from the uk and I can't return the card if it doesn't work so is a b grade gpu safe?
My budget maybe below 200 pounds

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah save a little more and dont get a B grade one if you cannot return it.

 

[madmatt30]

All good cards - you are aware that all those firms apart from ebuyer deliver internationally ??

I would go with the new 4gb nitro personally.
I don't see how raptor is any worse than shadow play, there's like a 5% performance loss when recording which is near as dammit the same.

 

[TehPenguin]

Or just use OBS like most streamers and youtubers.

 

[madmatt30]

That old i5 won't take kindly to obs in all honesty though.

 

[RobCrezz]

OBS supports GPU encoding for both AMD and Nvidia im pretty sure

 

[madmatt30]

^ it does but it's always been sketchy , still pushes high CPU usage anyway, video quality is not as good as native shadow play/ raptr .
Raptr with plays.TV is absolutely first class IMO , better than shadowplay.

 

[AceMew]

Nvidia fanboy here lol so I will get a used gtx 970 or gtx 1060 3gb msi

 

[lucas_7_94]

There is no way to pick at today a GTX 970.

 

[TehPenguin]

OBS quality is really good if set up properly. It's poor by default because it's meant for streaming so you don't use as much bandwidth.

Anyway, back on track: a 970 is not advisable. 3GB 1060... uuhhh, can go either way. It's a good card but 3GB is really the limit today and we can't know how VRAM intensive games will get in the future. It's a good card but for the same price I can't recommend it over a 4GB 480.
