Re: Graphics cards

up until last week i had the evga gtx 960 sc 4 gb ideal for mid range WOT player ,it could pull over 100 FPS with an I5 cpu and not even get warm, this is now in my grandsons pc upstairs as i went and bought the evga gtx 1060 sc 6 gb version

both cards look very alike , small form factor single fan ,but the 1060 is around 80% faster and after much research it came down to which model , out of all tests i looked at the evga sc smallest , cheapest card comes out on top , no backplate or flashing rgb lights just does the job it should , so for me if asked i would suggest the evga sc cards there are some good rx480s around also that should become cheaper now the rx 5 series have been released point to note the five series is a duffer , people have found you are able to flash the bios of rx 4 series cards with the rx 5 series bios , it then out performs the newer cards major amd ball drop.

also this week i read that nvidia has new set of cards coming at the end of the year ? i think this was announced to combat the rx 5 series release  ,so the release date may get put back to 2018 as there is no need to release them as i mentioned above 5 series are duffers , people are posting OC results for rx5 cards in HEAVEN BENCHMARK and my 1060 is out performing most of them.
