lol if there's so much excess inventory why does a 1060 still cost as much today as when i bought it like a year and a half ago?


fake edit: holy gently caress no way, i bought my 1060 back in august 2016?? :wth:


so, okay, why does a 1060 still cost as much today as it did two and a half years ago

hmm now that want one

I have a Radeon something 270 🤷‍♂️ how can I tell if the 1060 is compatible with my mobo and psu

you should be fine to just drop it in without any other changes; just get one with 6gb, and don't get a mega gamer xtreme version

do the brands really matter that much?

guess was wondering about those extra power cables

it’ll be powering 1920x1080 lol but also been wanting a nvidia for ages for rendering but last time i looked they were about six hundo so i wrote it off but thanks to this thread just looked and now just under four which i have decided is worth it for better pixels

think mine is 550 but thanks for that advice i could be well wrong, i’ll double check

e: 520 ... nice

i’ve been cranking the settings on assassins creed but frame limited to 24fps which i have become completely used to so doesn’t seem bad at all

i mean tv is 24 fps except tv as motion blur

was kinda hoping for a bigger jump from the r9 270 but honestly not unhappy with it at all plus the 6gb is a huge boost and the rendering performance in blender is epic as gently caress
