Think you mean the 1060 extra £50 for 980 performance the 970 just doesnt make sense anymore

Excellent deal! Would bother with SLI if it wasn't for the 3.5gb ram. But a very good card!

Check the benchmarks and see how it does rather than worry about technicalities.
Although a 1070 might make more sense for a similar price.

The reason i mention the ram issue is when my usage goes above 3.5gb in games like GTA v the game starts to stutter. So it would be pointless to throw more horsepower at the problem when the bottleneck in some of the games is VRAM.

A 1060 doesn't cost around £366; we were talking about SLI. Doh.
