Due to the crypto currency craze, the market has wiped out all availability of GPU cards.
According to GPU hierarchy, this is in same league as RX 470. But RX 470 is totally wiped out on all sellers or they sell for $500-600++
1. If GTX 1060 is indeed performing similarly as RX470 in gaming, why is this card sitting pretty in Amazon for sale? Something that makes mining terrible vs RX470?
2. Is the $214 a good price for just wanting to play last year's games at 1080p? (Doom, Witcher, Overwatch, etc).
3. My CPU is really old - i3-2120. Will this CPU bottleneck terribly?
4. Should I just not buy this card and just wait it out until the mining craze is over and grab a RX470 instead?
