We Bought a $69 Graphics Card - Best Budget GPU?

GVGMALL New Year Sale 25% discount code: TB20

The GTX 1060 is a legendary graphics card for price to performance back in the day. The GTX 1060 went back and fourth with the RX 580 which was the other best entry level card for a long time. It’s time to see if the 1060 is still worth it in 2025!

The problem with the 1060 is that the 1070 and 1080 exists

Putting that GPU in that rig is like buying a mansion and putting a cockfighting ring in the living room.

love these type of vids currently looking to build my wife a $300 pc and these are the type of cards im looking at

[PCrealitys]

If you're buying a 1060 odds are your computer is a very low performance rig, if it isn't, save up and buy and faster GPU

[hardtobearit]

so take this same pc and do a 1660 in it and then show us the comparison

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.

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

I recently bought one for $62 with shipping. Using it right now with a Ryzen 5 5600. I have no complaints. It's getting the job done.

[JerziTBoss]

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.

[RobertFixit]

YES! My favorite GPU. I am on a mission to personally test every GTX1060 in existence. I am not even 50% complete. I have yet to try the OEM one.

[tonymerasty]

that is said with many components decent expectations are a guide to use-case applications for the generation(s) involved

[megii]

Man I remmeber getting my 1060 off a friend for like £40 one of the best GPUs I had, it was white and a blower so kinda noisy.
Great card.

i rocked an MSI 1060 6 GB for a few years. From 2017 to 2022. Fantastic card for 2K gaming with my i7-4770k.

[NavyGuyOO]

"A large tower cooler..." I see what you did there!

[dillanploeger]

First! And I got my 1070 for 72 after shipping and tax!

[Happy-gc]

Btw just wanted to say that I love that you benchmark Fortnite with the other games! 👍

[puddlebarf]

Picked up an oem model 1080 the other day for $40

[Dreamlication]

It's crazy how much performance you can get with low end cards.

@toastybros The $420 build using the $69 video card is what we are waiting for. 🎉
