This is the 6GB version though, right? It's about average in price, but still not super cheap. Also, I believe this to be the quietest of the 1060 range, so it's a good card to keep your eye on. The 3GB version is currently just under £200, and is a very good card too.
Theres a Zotac or something 6GB 1060 for £230 (even less with Which? code) and i dont think £50 is warranted for some extra quietness
I hear you. For what it's worth, given that I'd typically replace a card every 2 years or so, the extra £50, for me, is definitely worth it, if I'm playing games most nights. I'm sure this will drop in time, but the 3GB version of this is actually a very close contender, so unless you want to go full throttle on all games, the 3GB is a cheap option for a quiet 1060.
What does AMD releasing a new cpu (Zen) have to do with this gpu?
Perfectly ok time to buy gpu's. This one's at the pricier end of 6gb 1060's. The new 1100 series Nvidia cards will prob be out mid next year, so you'd be waiting 6 months to see whats on offer.
If you game at 1080p, then an Nvidia 6gb 1060 or AMD 480 8gb will last you a fair while. AMD have just released a new driver update that gives their cards a bit more oomph.
1440p, then buy a 1070+ tbh.
alot when you consider the role of Dow theory
So in a thread about gpu's, the arrival of Zen (a cpu) will magically drop the prices of gpus?.
As a 'self builder' myself, can't see why waiting till Zens proper announcement in January and release Feb would reduce gpu prices.
And tbh most cpus from the last two fens at least ain't needed upgrading (unless you want hyperthreading).
If you want to wait, then fair enough, but then why not wait till the year after that or year after that for stuff.
Personally, and keeping to the op (talking about gpus) even if the 490 releases and equals the 1070, it'd be in the same price bracket. What you need is accross the board competition at the higher end between Amd and Nvid to drag prices down.
I voted cold lol, as with Pascal pretty much any card combined with a decent cooler will net you c. 1900+ on the core clock, and as I said in my first post, this cards on the high end of cost for a 1060.
So just to ask (genuine question) name me a new gen of CPU that reduced GPU prices as you're saying? I doubt very much that with Zen they'll come up with a new magic PCIE architecture over 3 - it would render the cards they've just released as old tech. That was the reason why I kept asking - not as you seem to think that the card in this thread is value/I don;t understand when they're releasing Zen/announced it etc. I just thought your advice to wait on Zen as people upgrade all at once (they generally don't - how many people still run 2500K/2700K with a pascal or 400 series AMD card), was bad and the fact you refer to GPU buyers now as 'not clued up' - the only advice I'd give is maybe some of the cards will come down in price in the January sales as they sometimes generally do.
