Looking for a 1060 6GB as a birthday gift for my son. Max $300 budget. In case someone planning to upgrade :)

Have seen some selling in TM between 340-360, so hopefully $300 would cut it given there is no TM fee.

Could be looking to sell mine, but not likely for a month-ish after the new cards come out.

When do you need it by?

Yes, with the 20xx range due for release I imagine you'll see a number of cards pop up on trademe for sale shortly. That'll be your best bet I reckon depending on how long you can wait.

My son's birthday is on 11/09 so hopefully I get it a day or two before that so that I can hook it up on his PC in the middle of the night :)

It actually started, have seen and missed a few listings in TM. Just need to hold off due to limited budget :(

I have one and was considering an upgrade but paid $600 a few months ago so $300 is definitely not gonna cut it.

Was aiming for those who have already enjoyed theirs for about a year to consider my budget :)

Yeah, fair enough. well, if you find another $150 to add to your budget and want a very recent MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G (including warranty leftover and paperwork, give me a shout)

Cloud spending continues to surge globally, but most organisations haven’t made the changes necessary to maximise the value and cost-efficiency benefits of their cloud investments. Download the whitepaper From Overspend to Advantage now.

the new cards will not be out in time for me to upgrade for this, so mine will likely be advertised around the end of next month.

I understand. Hopefully a few would post in TM today given the discounted fees.

I have a brand new (ish), has been open and only used once, RX 570 4GB, ASUS, if you are interested.

Performance wise they are comparable, depending on the game, at most around 8% slower.
One comparison review here: https://www.techspot.com/review/1411-radeon-rx-570-vs-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb/
Although this reviews the 3GB version of the GTX, which only has the disadvantage when playing above 1080 resolution.

Bump. I can do a straight swap with a White PS4 with 640GB HDD and 1 controller in case someone is interested.
