That's very interesting. For me the takeaway is there is, except for the hardcore gamer, bugger all diffference between them. A far cry from those long gone Voodoo days /sigh.....Observe wrote:
[EDIT]This video shows comparisons between various Nvidia GPU's. Frankly, I can barely discern the differences, but the readouts certainly show the performance advantage of 980Ti vs 1060.
I bought a 1080 myself, but for three very specific reasons, none of which were comparative performance/frame rate based.
1: I needed to support three monitors easily.
2: I needed to future proof my rig because I won't be updating it again for many years.
3: I could afford it.
Without the above criteria I would most likely have gone for something a heck of a lot cheaper.
