vapaxyownz Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 if that power supply has 8-pin for gpu, 1060 will be most likely best card for that pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extatus Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) It should handle a 1080. Won't be bottlenecking for sure. 42 minutes ago, vapaxyownz said: if that power supply has 8-pin for gpu, 1060 will be most likely best card for that pc Actually you don't need 8-pin for a 1060. Without doing overclocking, a 6 pin is fine. Edited August 17, 2018 by viking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine to run 6 pin connector in that since PCI-e slot already draws 75W -and about 60w extra from 6pin cable. It will work.

extatus Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 However, if ur friend wants to run at higher clocks without ever getting artifacts. If the PSU has 2x 6 pin cables, there are various connectors that can change that to a single 8 pin (or 6+2, doesnt matter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezbomb Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) should be good I dont see any other bottlenecks that would limit a 1060s performance edit: except his monitors being 60hz instead of 120 or 144 hz, this doesnt limit performance really but you wont be able to really see anything above 60fps so any extra frames are lost on the user.
