The games you have mentioned will easily run on maxed settings on RX 570 so why waste extra money? 570 is around 16k.

^^ Any link/s for reference? The only ones I found around 20k were the Mini variant of the 6GB.

Yes I was talking about mini variants only. Those are equal in performance to standard size cards. If you want the looks (bigger size, 3 fans, LED etc.), then you'll have to shed extra. However, those things doesn't give anything in terms of performance, apart from some extra headroom for overclocking.

Thanks
If I can get best performance in 20k from GTX 1060 then I don't mind paying 4k extra compared to 570. But not able to find these prices anywhere online except one at amazon:
Zotac GTX1060 Mini (Ratings don't look so good at amazon for this card)

Any recommendation for online / offline location to purchase these cards in Navi Mumbai ?

MD Computers, Primeabgb or just go to Lamington Road.

DON'T buy from amazon global store before confirming Indian warranty because of RMA issues.

GTX 1060 mini was available from Indian seller on Amazon sometime back. This one is international, so warranty can be the issue.
You may find average/low ratings for many good cards on Amazon because initially, sellers keep very high prices (even higher than market price) for the card and so people tend to give low stars.

+1 for what SaiyanGoku suggested.

Zotac GTX 1060 Mini 6GB : ₹20,394
Zotac GTX 1060 6GB AMP Edition : ₹21,321

SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 570 4GB : ₹15,999
Can't figure out difference in performance between 1060 and rx 570 (both seems identical at 1080p) so adding more conditions here so that you guys can help me:
  • will be using this GPU for at-least 2 yrs more and no OC.
  • plan on buying 3d monitor soon or 4k monitor (for movies purpose only)
  • wants to play other GPU heavy games too. (medium-high settings)
  • 2k monitor for gaming.

Please mention the tests where 570 4GB matches the 1060 6GB. I believe the latter is superior in terms of performance than the former.

GTX 1060 outperforms RX 570 and it is at par with RX 580. The games you mentioned can be run very well by RX 570, but if you want to play AAA titles also, get GTX 1060 6GB.

Did you mean 1440p monitor ??? If yes, then get a GTX1060 6GB or 580 8GB to play AAA games at medium-high.
yes 1440p monitor.

No, I am not saying they are equal. It just that I was not able to understand all those random google benchmarks so I just focused on FPS section and difference was not that high for most games in 1080p.

Seems like GTX 1060 wins here so I will go for it. Just last question left :)
Does 1k extra for AMP worth it compared to Mini version ? I have Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat Mid Tower Cabinet. It should be able handle big version too.

Yes it's worth it plus your case can fit even 14" cards :)
