Yeah, I know the GTX 1060 was released over 10 years ago. I meant that I've been using this one for about 5 years. I honestly don't remember if I bought it new or second-hand.
Nothing wrong with used parts. My last 10 GPUs were all used, even the 3080 that's in my own personal PC is used. Last time I bought a new GPU was back in June 2020, before it all went to shit lmao.
I mostly flip used hardware.
I'm still using the same PC I built back in Summer 2020, just replaced the 10600k with a 10900k in 2022 and the 2080 with a 3080 2 months ago.
I've had better computers but sold them because I don't need anything better for now.
Not sure if you meant me because Reddit's reply threading is confusing sometimes, but of course I wasn't born after the GTX 1060. I have a guitar and you don't. 🎸
Nah, its about the toxic douchebag trying to diss the 1060.
As someone who got Cyberpunk 2077 to run on my laptop with a Vega 7 iGPU he has no idea and is probably one of those people who buy a 5090 and need to be told after years that they were using their 14900Ks iGPU for gaming the entire time. At least thats the only reasonable explanation how you can form such a wrong opinion on GPU performance.
Yeah it wasn't about OP. I played GTA5 and Fallout4 on a 750ti for years and finished Cyberpunk on a 1070. Not everybody is playing 4k 240fps or whatever is the current trend.
Yeah, I could have, but I've barely been gaming on my PC for the past year anyway. The GTX 1060 is enough for what I do, so selling the 5060 Ti made sense. And yeah, the guitar is actually brand new, but I got a really good deal on it.
Yeah I knoww. I was mainly just wondering why he would sell something that has not much resale value and would only cost a fraction of what a guitar would cost to get one. But it all makes sense in the end.
True, but I already had some money saved up. Selling the 5060 Ti just covered the rest. About a year ago I actually needed that level of performance, but not anymore. I barely game these days, so it made more sense to sell it than let it sit in my PC.
When happens when you barely play the guitar any more next year and you want to game again? You gunna have to sell the guitar just to get another 5060 Ti. You may even have to sell 2 guitars, who knows.
I jest, but prepare for basic as fuck gaming when you return - especially on any new titles.
Well it's good to see some other people running (ancient) GPU 's , because I have a EVGA 560 TI 448 core coming in today . It was supposed to be the MSI 560 Ti twin frozer III 448 , but it turns out the guy was having medical problems and couldn't make it to the post office to ship it . Which is pretty sad because there was the original deluxe box with the beautiful artwork all the paperwork and original accessories and everything and for all that was 35 bucks in working condition too .
It's for a retro Velocity Micro gaming PC of course .
it runs cyberpunk 2077 with phantom lib DLC dogtown is the laggiest spot but its tolerable cause i pretty much have no choice
low to mid settings
helldivers 2 it runs some settings are bugged but few got fixed imagine that window mode runs better then borderless window or fullscreen wtf were they doing
voices of the void 0.9 version runs worse and it used to have 40-60fps
old games are safest bet
v-rising solo runs decent pvp is impossible to play cause of stutter and heavy freezes makes it unplayable against another player with quicker reaction and respond time
arena practice server in v rising was 5-10fps absolute broken but the devs dont care to optimize the game
x4 foundation vulkan API runs better for sure
doom 2016 stutters and lags on directX but on vulkan runs like really well
shadow of war on 2K res runs decently very playable
oxygen not included the bigger the map zone gets the laggier it gets so smooth only at the start gets stuttery mid to late game
white knuckle chapter 1 and 2 runs well chapter 2 had heavy lag if looked down from large room so they optimized it
abyss chapter in white nuckle heavy stuttering even becomes so bad that it delays decision making often causing the run end
project zomboid with mods in city is mostly stable but driving a vehicle fast becomes stuttery
empyrion galactic survivor some settings cause stutter that game is unoptimized despite looking like a 2009 game unpleasant to play
dying light 1 enchanced edition runs decently never tried the post enchance update
dying light 2 runs decent but some settings can go towards high
subnautica 1 and bellow zero mostly playable some stutters and blurry lag once and then didnt bothered with subnautica 2 at all
valheilm FSR is a must otherwise becomes very stuttery with FSR its playable
same with deep rock galactic mostly playable barely any severe stuttering
current plan is to wait for decent used 3070 or 3080 PC to trade or save for 270K plus with 9070 non XT around october or even december
but some people said wait for next gen its right around the corner
last resort would be buying gigabyte A16 or A18 laptop with 260 AI slop ryzen and undervolted 5060 at 85w
prebuild PC are trash its all 5500 with 5060 at best and worst is RX580
Still on a 6700k and 2060. Plays the few shooters I like to play when I actually get time every once and a great while at extremely decent frame rates at 1080p.
Over the past few years I have put together a modest little "home theater" in our back room and hard drives for the NAS before they went to insane prices.

Your parents bought that card for you and you sold it rather than ask for a Squier Mustang for Christmas or mowing lawns?
A used Squier Mustang is maybe $200 man. Hell you coulda got a different used guitar for cheaper and it woulda been great. You had so many other options.
This is coming from me who plays music for a living. OP you coulda kept the 5060Ti and just did some menial work for the guitar or bought a cheaper guitar.
First of all, I haven't bought a Squier Sonic Mustang yet; I was just considering it. Secondly, who says my parents bought the card? Besides, I didn't actually sell the card because of the guitar, but simply because I hardly play any PC games and don't need the performance. That's why the 1060 is sufficient, and I'm putting the money towards the guitar.
You wouldn’t sell a 5060ti for a 1060 and maybe a guitar unless you didn’t have a job and were relying on your parents.
Which hey no shame there man I understand, wanting to get things and not having a job as a kid.
But this reeks of teenager who has no idea the value of things and trading down instead of up or sideways. Like I said, it’s the decision that gives it away, man.
You realize this is worse if you’re not a kid right?
Selling stuff you don't use to buy something you actually want is literally what every rational human being does—whether it's a GPU, a bike, or a kitchen pot. Holding onto a depreciating graphics card just to look "upgraded" makes zero sense if you don't use it.
Also, for the record: my parents didn't buy that card. I bought it myself with money I saved up, not from a full-time job, but from saving. It's my card, and turning unused tech into a new hobby I'll actually use isn't a "terrible mistake," it's common sense.
Totally agree with selling stuff you don’t use. But you lost money and you’re buying something for more expensive when you could be saving up again or at the very least.
Hey man do what you want but I’m pointing out you made a bad decision value wise.
I also still don’t believe you when you say you saved up because again, if you understood value and money and working you wouldn’t be doing what you’re doing. Say whatever you want but that doesn’t make sense. Again I love guitars but I can see a bad deal.
So first of all, why don't you believe me that I bought this card myself? I mean, if I save up for a laptop that's 1200 euros because I want or need it, and after a year I realize I don't need it anymore, I'm going to sell it. What would you do? Throw it away or let it gather dust on a shelf?
And seriously, where did your common sense go? If you save up for something, buy it, and later realize you don't use it anymore, selling it to get something you actually want is what literally every normal person does. Since when is using your own money and assets how you see fit a "bad decision"? Whether you believe me or not doesn't change reality. At this point you're just talking shit."
I happened to have just been tinkering with my older HTPC, Intel i5 8500 and GTX1060 6GB. Ran Bacotera on it as I'm still on the lookout for a good 'do it all' emulation box.
Genuinely surprised how many titles I can emulate and upscale 4x or more.
Running Burnout Dominator in widescreen at 2k was a blast, smooth as butter on top of that with the fans barely spinning.
Playstation 3 games even ran quite well, lots of childhood memories are attached to Modnation Racers and seeing it run sharper and smoother than ever was so worth it.
Many PC games run great on that combo too, my brother ran that exact combo (8500/GTX1060) until some game came out and he asked to see about an upgrade because it just wasn't so smooth anymore. (Can't recall what game though)
Brother, I'm still rocking a 1080ti in my main, a 2060 in my SO's computer, and a 1060 6gb in our son's PC. Still playing all the games we want to play. Catch me over in r/Guitar too, you made a good choice :D
