Had a black friday newsletter today with this on. Looks a good £20 under the cheapest 1060 6gb elsewhere.

What ? This card is in no way a 4k gaming card. Not even marketed in that way at all... Get a 1080 or titan X for that.

In no shape or form is the 1060 6GB aimed at 4k gaming.
If you want 4k gaming now, you need a gtx 1080 or higher.
I really don't understand the comparison, it seems like a lack of understanding.

Its not marketed as one but you certainly can play at 4k. You can play gta 5 with max settings at 4k at a stable 30fps, lowering the settings a bit can increase performance considerably in more demanding scenes. This card is best at 1440p and below tho.

Good price heated. An alternative for an extra fiver delivered is the pre-overclocked Gigabyte GTX 1060 OC 6GB mini ITX available from LaptopsDirect using the 'Which' trial £20 off code offer.

I believe 1440p is simply reffered to as 2k gaming.

The fps you will be getting at 4k with this card, would kill the experience, something like 1440p would be the sweet spot, as theres a big difference from 1080p to 1440p visually, but from 1440p to 4k its kinda hard to notice.

Not abt lack of understanding. But a waste of money to buy a non future proof card. Better off wait for Project scorpio or when gtx 1080 come down in price.

if the above is true - what would you suggest a newcomer to PC gaming ( i'm planing on building my first PC early next month) should buy in terms of graphics card?
- I have roughly under £1k to spend (i could push it if i had to)
- I am an industrial designer so the machine will need to render and be used for complex CAD modeling
- my current selection of parts looks like this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hysyVY (using BF and CM to reduce price further)
- aim is to make it as future proof as possible (4k is not a huge deal as i do not edit films
(note: GTX1080 is way out of budget)

You want Pc gaming or do industrial work ? Your graphic card is overpriced. Change ssd to M.2 NVME Ssd...Samsung has the best one at the moment.
