I thought it was safe, it says $369 on the latest price list.
But its not.

The target is a MSI GTX1060 6GB Single fan card.

The target shop has it out of stock.
The next shop has the same price on the pricelist, they have stock but they markup $110 cause of the bitcoin mining thing.
The next shop got salesperson recommending a mining GPU rack, instant skip.
The next shop's person honestly told me the card now is still $400+.

So I went home.
Staying with my trusty GTX750 Ti for the time being.

I want to play this game, Dark and Light. My current RX290 runs very hot and loud when I play the game. And I am unable to even run smoothly at the game's lowest setting. Anyone has any recommendation which graphic card I should buy to at least play it at a medium to high setting?
Is GTX 1070 ok?

Hi guys, thinking of playing PUBG with my current setup:
- i5-3450
- zotac 1050ti mini
- 8gb ram

What settings do I need to go to for my system to run at 50-60fps at 1080p 60hz?

with that gpu u can consider going for mid setting 1st, else low. if mid is fine den keep that setting, and if it's low den can consider tweaking some setting with mid.

Hi bros, any recommendation for a graphics card upgrade from my current 7850? Not sure which ones are compatible because I'm quite new to self-upgrading but budget up to 300. Want to get the best price-performance graphics card with budget up to $300 that is compatible with replacing a 7850 card.
For something like this will be gtx1050/1050ti/RX560. But if u are lucky to Gtx1060 under 300, that's good for u.

Thanks... I got a ASUS GTX 1060 3gb for 250$ second hand so pretty happy with this for now. Can I know if my i5-3470 processor will bottleneck the GPU?

Well I won't say that there will be bottleneck, but still depends on which games u playing as well.

In general, old games like 2015/2016 shouldn't have any visible bottleneck, by if u say modem games in 2017 probably will. Next is that graphic intensive or CPU intensive games will be able to feel the bottleneck.

Mind if I ask where u got such a good deal? The cheapest used gtx1060 I found is zotac 3gb mini which I wasn't fond of.

Hi Bros,

Can a gtx 1050 TI support a 144Mhz 27" monitor?

I play games like FM2017, fifa, PES, COH and some racing games.

I would say that u might need to lower the settings den maybe can. But for those football games maybe still but unsure since I dun play. Racing also depends but I think most most of them are still cap @ 60. As for COH what's that?

COH is Company of Heroes (old game).

so gtx 1050 oso can support 27" 144Mhz at 2560×1440 resolution?

can support is possible, but getting 144mhz @1440p with super high setting, will be just a dream for now. but maybe the next GTX 1100 maybe can support, (well who knows maybe it might just so able? ;))

I saw that the price difference for the MSI GTX 1060 3GB/6GB is about $45.

Is it worth to purchase the 1060 6gb for future-proofing(maybe to last 5 years)? Or should i get the 1050 now and then change to a new card 3 years down the road?

Well I would say that getting a GTX 1070 can support that monitor for at least 4 years.

GtX 1060 maybe can. As for 1050 I can't confrm unless u are still playing those games after few years.

Would the Zotac 1060 6GB Amp version fit into the CoolerMaster Elite 110A casing since both are of the same length of 210mm?

Any bros running this setup now?

I think can fit, but u will be definitely runs into very tight place especially when u are connecting your PSU. But maybe u can check the height as well. (To make sure top have clearance as well
