The 980 is cheaper than the 1060, as it is now

they're the same price

as you can see

and the 480 isnt even in stock

sells out as soon as it is

I've seen the 4GB 480s at 200 pounds incl. VAT

But they're gone within a few hours

this is apparently going to go instock stock today

I dont know 4gb is good though

Do you have a 2K monitor?

nope

Or er, 4K?

a 1080p

Unless you're planning to get one soon, you won't see the need to go beyond 3GB VRAM anytime soon

yeah

Im not so sure

arent like more than 4gb vram needed nowadays?

or something

It is definitely

Cause most people cross into 2K/4K nowaday

im only into 1080p 60 fps gaming

I have a 2K monitor and I usually cap the 4GB on my 970

Having to go down to high settings

i see

Luckily, running higher res means you don't need as much anti aliasing

And you can skimp on shadow quality

hmm

now it's either a 4gb 480

or a gtx 1060

Yup

like I've chosen before

It's probably not worth going for the 8GB 480

it's a 40 difference

Are you sure you wanna run with the mini 1060, though?

yeah

I read reviews the EVGA is the best of the 1060s

those have virtually no overclocking potential, I heard

runs cooler and quieter than even the dual fan ones
