To be fair, the 1080 is also over half the cost of a 1070.

Which non-reference 1060 is £189? At the same price and given the option I'd probably take a RX 470 over a GTX 970 for slightly better future proofing and less furore surrounding VRAM.
Edit - just seen it....you meant the 3GB 1060.....not sure that's a great option for any form of longevity. Certainly the AMD offerings are a better choice in that comparison.

Even the 1070 is over half the cost of a 1070.

I had one around 12m ago. Mine had coil whine :-/
I doubt they all have it though!

Not bad. The 970 is still a great card for budget builds.

the extra £10 for a 1060 seems more than worth it. check out a comparison between the two

Good price.
I'm excited for the gtx 1050, coming in at 75w is going to be king of the budget builds aimed at 1080p. I've love a £120 price point, with its supposed near 470 performance. In some ways I hope its nearer £170, otherwise it could finish AMD off, and then nvidia could charge anything they want for cards.

The 950 has just about reached £120 on a good day so I'll bet you'll be waiting a long time for the 1050 to arrive and hit that same price. Still, good luck :-)

Opening post
Asus GTX970
Cheaper than a 1060, over half the cost of a 1070
Edit: Less than half the cost* :smiley:
Same price now at overclockers
