1080p Gaming - GTX 1050 vs 1060 vs 1070 - 23 Benchmarks

[@TechDeals]

*UPDATE* - I did not include the GTX 970 results here, those will be included in the high end video with the 1070/1080/etc. Short version: GTX 970 is slightly slower than the GTX 1060 3GB, but it is still very competitive and a very good 1080p gaming card. If you have one or can find one for under $175, it is still worth considering.

[@gtpc5802]

sir my asus bm6820 is a little compact will the 1050 fit in it please reply please please please

[@NightOwlPal]

Tech Deals any thoughts on the titan and how it compares to the 1080ti?

[@suckerolo]

I recently got rid of my GTX 660 for 45€ and got a GTX 970 for 120€, that's a deal I guess.

[@snowman22ism]

You should have had the 970 in this test considering it is THE card for this segment in a lot of PC's still. It really doesn't belong with the 1070 or 1080 in price or performance. For that you need a 980ti

[@snowman22ism]

It was a GTX only video.. Thats where.

[@ayumuchan3541]

how much did you pay?

[@mikesawyer1336]

Excellent review - I purchased the 1060 3GB based upon your reviews. ( and it's running solid with every game I play on high detail) By the way thumbs up to your incredibly professional delivery - I don't know how you do it but, you could probably sell me on anything.

This guy is awesome! He is always so descriptive and explains everything so ANYONE can understand! Thanks for the great content! Keep up the good work!

[@thatkoalabear]

what an articulately informative video! very true on the 1060 3GB Vram vs 6GB by Tech Deals. the core and memory clock just isn't enough to handle a 6GB vram usage unless you're running 1440p gaming on medium settings but low texture detail and occlusion etc etc. i'm glad i subscribed to this channel =) stay awesome mate!

[@sandipchavan2042]

1060 is a sweet spot. best budget 1080p @ultra/very high 60 fps card. 1050 is just 1080p @medium presets 60 fps. 12 dislikes from rx 460 users

[@HowlingCurve]

I just upgraded from a rx460 to the 1060 3gb so I'm happy lol

[@v0rtex116]

gtx 1050 ti = 1080p @ultra/high 60 fps with some compromise on the shadows.

[@sufranabbas1317]

1060 is really a sweet spot for 1080p. I would consider buying a 6gb version since it's not really that much of a price difference

[@sandipchavan2042]

v0rtex 11 considering the 3A titles, 1050ti can not be able to run on ultra settings, indeed, customizing settings may vary performance but 1080p 60fps, nope, not at all

[@v0rtex116]

Name one game, with ultra textures/ shadows medium that won't be getting 60fps 1080p with a gtx 1050 ti.

[@Essanandcats]

[@NightOwlPal]

I bought the MSI 1050 TI OC about a year ago for $150. It runs great with my i5-4570. I'm surprised to see the 1050's are still going for the same price. It's been a great card. Love you videos, they're very informative.

[@jacobi5852]

I have an msi gtx 1060 6gb version, runs smooth at high/ultra settings for me.

[@ammartech3660]

Same here , and its stay around 62C after few hours of gaming , and the fans only runs on 60c and above, which is awesome to increase the coil life for a long run .. as well i bump core clock +150 and memory clock +480 without adding voltages , however i upscale my power limit to 108% and its running even better a little bit by tweaking those

[@joelgastelum3478]

Mine runs smooth aswell but I don't like that it gets up to 80°c and I'm not even overclocking . I think its because I have the Evga single fan.

Purchased a Zotac mini 1060 3gb for 188 off NewEgg on sale about a week ago and paired it with my Ryzen 3 1300x. Plays everything from bf1, to r6 siege, GTA 5, Fallout and cs on max settings anywhere from 70 to 300 fps depending on the game. Best deal I've found all year on GPUs. It has recently increased back to msrp of 249.99. Glad I pulled the trigger on it when I did. Love your videos they're awesome and benchmarks seem more accurate than the other channels here on KZbin. Keep it up and thank you!!

[@hasssna]

Thank you so very much for the tailored comparion and the hard work you put into it !!

[@KTSpeedruns]

Credit to the 1050, it’s an absolutely amazing card for what you pay. Using this card, I run Overwatch at 75fps and a 60fps KZbin video on another monitor with photoshop and discord open in the background. Okay, so a good chunk of that is the CPU (I use an i5 2400), but driving both displays with all that running without stuttering is something I didn’t expect from entry level.

[@yasinomidi7525]

I5-2400? That should not work

[@chaoticdemise1978]

Yasin Omidi no the i5-2400 works since Gen improvements from Sandy to Katy have only improved it by 25%ish in its category

[@Mogura87]

I don't really see the point if you only play non-demanding e-sports games. Why not just use a mid-range laptop or even play on a console (in the case of Overwatch at least) instead of going through the trouble of researching, buying and assembling PC components on the cheap just to play dota 2 and LoL. With 1060 paired with a decent CPUs you at least have the argument of 1080p 60 fps high preset in most AAA games too, where consoles would mostly use locked 30 with mixed results. Although, you realistically would have to upgrade every two years to maintain that level all-around. And, the ridiculous overpricing of a lot of those mid-range GPUs because of miners coupled with RAM shortages doesn't help the "bang-for-buck" argument in the case of the 1060, either. Personally I wouldn't go below the 1070 for a gaming GPU.

[@SyncF]

I had a 750Ti that used to be able to do the same thing, it’s no shocking fact at all. Overwatch at 75fps is not impressive.

[@v0rtex116]

My friend has a i5-2400. He's running it with gtx 1050 2gb and its pretty good in fortnite @ high/med shadows(80fps.60hz monitor). The combo is legit if you go used for cpu or already have one.

[@MrPaparazziPizza]

Seeing this video well into the GPU shortage and the prices you're talking about make me sad. Very helpful video though! Glad I found this channel!

[@walkerboh39]

Excellent video. This is what I was looking for! Thanks Tech Deals.

[@EarthIsFlat456]

It might sound silly to use a gtx 1080 or 1080 ti for 1080p gaming but if you've got a high refresh rate monitor and you want stable frame rate under ultra/very high settings in most games you probably need one of these GPUs. I recommend buying a 120 hz 1080p monitor even if you've got only the gtx 1050 and create a custom refresh rate (60 or 30 hz) under NVIDIA control panel. For non-demanding games and other applications use the default refresh rate which is 120 hz, for demanding games use the custom refresh rate. This way you can enjoy extremely smooth 120 fps in some games while low fps in demanding games won't feel so choppy thanks to the custom 60 or 30 hz refresh rate. This is basically how G-sync makes low fps appear smoother by matching the refresh rate to the fps. Of course G-sync can change refresh rate instantly which you can't on a regular monitor...

[@OrangeBroom]

So 1060 at avg $230 gets me 18-24 months,1070 @ $400 gets me 3 years. Wouldn't it be a better 'deal' to get the newest '60' 2 years from now at arguably MSRP $230 instead of paying double for the extra year on a 1070?

Man do I wish the prices listed here were still accurate. Excellent video. I've been holding off on my build and while I've noticed recently prices coming down a bit, they're still pretty inflated. $350 right now for a 1060 6gb is a killer but the 3gb does seem to be coming down. I thought they would have been lower by now but we'll see.

[@MidnightBanshi]

The other thing to consider too is how long you want your GPU to last in games going forward. You can spend more now and have it last longer, or spend less and replace it sooner. Great comparison!

[@mr.mudcatslim3420]

Another good video. Staying subbed.

[@brainplot]

Man I love your videoreviews! I unfortunately bought a 1060 6GB ARMOR because the 1070 was way beyond my budget for my €1.200 build. Here in Italy, I paid €350 for mine and the 1070 costs twice as much! If GPUs had "normal" prices I could seriously buy a 1070 for that money. I decided to go cheaper now and maybe upgrade it down the line in 2 or 3 years if I need to, hopefully when GPUs will have more "human" prices. I should say, however, that I will use my computer mostly for programming so gaming is not really a primary concern so I think that that card will be just fine for me. Anyways, keep up the good work! :)

[@Ravenomics]

Im trying to build a pc with a g4560, 1060 3gb, and a 144hz monitor for $550 during Black Friday, wish me luck.

[@TubeMeeify]

Don't use the G4560 with the 1060 it will bottleneck and will cause a lot of stutter, in other hand it will hold the 1060 back, use better cpu or lower gpu

[@Ravenomics]

the bottleneck is very small and for only $30 - $40 more for %40 better performance on the chip its considered better than a 1050ti combo for most games. when I have the money I will upgrade to a i5 but for now this will have to do.

[@AtlasRevolt]

Id go with a ryzen3 1200 instead. Better upgrade path and performance for around the same price. I ordered a ryzen 3 1200 for $99 with a msi gaming pro mobo for $65 from amazon this morning. If youre sold on intel consider the coffeelake i3, but you'll pay a premium for the mobo.

[@powerbutton2694]

Oh man if you are on a buget get used parts... Just spend some time informing yourself to get good deals.

[@Ravenomics]
