Their are finds on the cheap,Toastys scour Ebay and exploit this simple fact on a regular basis, they beat others to the great deals and flip them, frankly, I'd never buy their flips
I got an MSI 1060 6GB about a month ago for 35€. It had a faulty fan so I bought a new pair from eBay for another 10€. After 20-30 minutes of cleaning and replacing the fans it's like new an for a total of 45€ I have a very decent backup GPU. Some of my friends/colleagues up until last summer would have wished to have a GPU like the 1060 6GB
@gorjaharchangel2267 same here, 6gb 1060s go for around 80-90 bucks here, central europe, i managed to snatch one for 25 euros, it didn't even have an issue lmao
We paid $70 for an EVGA SSC 1060 6g a year ago, for reference. It was 9/10 condition sold as 'good' 🎉.. we got it to be a shelf piece but instead repasted and have ran the hell out if it.
Or maybe you got an old office pc for free with a 6th gen i7. Slap an ssd and a 1060 in there and you'd be surprised how well it performs for very cheap.
@PCrealitys not true. You act like new games don't run on old hardware. There are plenty of games that run great most indie games aren't very demanding, and many triple a games can be played in lower settings.
Most Indie games can run on GPUs that start by rubbing 2 sticks together and my late Grandmother would have played , 4K Scrabble probably uses more GPU horsepower
I like the blower fan models of gpu's. Probably not the most efficient head wise, but definitely cool looking imo. I rocked a PNY GTX1060 for years before replacing it with a RX6800. Now its on display above my monitor.
GPU for 69 bucks is definitely nice buy. I have my 6GB GTX1060 ever since I built my first PC in 2016. It's a beast but it's showing it's age already. The PC still serves me well as high power TV stick for watching movies and playing indie games. Steam link works much better on it as well.

The 1060 is still a great card; if not for me upgrading to an ultrawide 1440p monitor for simracing over a year ago, I still would've kept my 1060 that I got in 2017 till this day
As someone who is old as dirt, I don't venture into AAA titles and stay within my little emulation bubble. Would this perform well if emulating up to PS3/Xbox 360 etc? Thanks.

A friend of mine had this card till mid 2024 worked okay but got a bit old. He upgraded to a 7800xt. I myself had at least two or three of them over the years but I would not pay more than 40€ nowadays.
im personally more of an rx 580 fan, especially since you can still get a brand new XFX one for 110-130 with warranty and for around 80 used. a little more vram to top and plays kindly with older hardware
I'd say that the current best Budget graphics card is the RX5600 XT. I bought one for 100 EUR (102,85 USD) for my living room PC running bazzite and in cyberpunk i get more than twice the frames than the 1060 6GB gets but on high settings. It also has 6GB of VRAM but i have never needed more for simple 60 fps gaming no matter the game or resolution. Even God of War running Original settings in Quality upscaled 1440p runs at 60 fps most of the time.
Nice. Well I guess not everyone upgrades on every release lol. Am still using a 4470k 16gig and a 1060 6gig and it not that bad. Plays what I want ok. Yes but will be upgrade soon when I know which CPU to go for lol 😊
I ran a 4770 and a Quadro 5000 until 2 years ago, updated to a i7-12700 and RTX 3060 12 GB,The upgrade blew me away. 1 year later to a RTX 4070 Ti Super and a month ago to a i7-14700K , The 4070 looks much better at the same FPS , Resolution & game settings as the 3060 I learned their more to high end GPUs than the price
I do not agree with your broke windows version verdict mine works fine and the price was awesome 0$ activation does not affect performance in games you just have to tolerate the watermark
I think I have pushed my gtx1660ti and my ryzen1300x far enough...time to build a new budget rig in 2025...idk though might stay on am4 for a while longer and just get one of the x3d chips with like a 3060 ti or something...it is just a b350 mobo but it supports rebar and all that fun stuff so...idk just rambling
Buying online is a risk always. A working GPU can get damaged in shipping. But if you're buying from a good seller with shipping experience you'll be just fine. I took a risk with an rx580 4gb for $45 plus tax and fees. Seller shipped it in a bubble mailer and I'm surprised the board didn't snap in shipping. Bracket came in bent but that was simple fix. Card is 100% working. I would recommend you buy from someone you can communicate with. Ask good questions. When was the last time the card was used? What games did you play on it? How much fps did you pull? If seller can't answer those questions I would walk away. Also buying on a platform that allows returns is a must. Don't buy as is.
What are you asking? How to check if it works right? how to check if it's the correct GPU? how to install it? just play games on it or run a benchmark just like they do..

ive had this GPU for the last 2 years and it runs almost all the games released before 2020 in 60+ fps
