How is this deal for GTX 970?
GIGABYTE GRAPHICS CARD GTX 970 4GB DDR5 G1 GAMING (N970G1 GAMING 4GD

Or does a GTX 1060 3GB still performs better than the above card at 18k?

GTX970 doesn't hold much value above 15k. PS : It's an Old Gen GPU.
Get a 1060 3GB and it will be better, if you want to play at very high textures then get the 6GB variant.

Performance is pretty above par compared to 970. More important is the power consumption. GTX 1060 3GB(Technically a 1050ti because of lower specs) consumes a lot less power while delivering the same performance as a 970.

If you ask me, I would say shell out a few more bucks and get the GTX 1060 6 GB which has much better specs, which provides far superior performance and ability to play 1440p and not to mention kinda futureproof.

The 6Gb version does not provide a far superior performance , better but not far superior

1060 6GB sits in between 970 and 980, so the 1060 3GB would be very close to 970 in terns of performance. Still, at similar price point, I'd go with the 1060 3GB for lower power and newer architecture. 970 is not a bad deal IMO, but only if you need that extra 1GB of RAM. Also 1000 series have improved DX12 performance.

+1 for 1060 6GB obviously.

Thanks for all the replies. I already have a Zotac GTX1060 6GB AMP edition so not gonna buy the 3GB variant of 1060. I just wanted to know so that I can suggest people who have that kinda budget (17-18k) for GPU. I am real happy with the AMP Edition :D

I don't know what your metric for performance is but the GTX 1060 outperforms the GTX 970 by 5-10 fps and in some cases even comes close to trading blows with the 980. That is a pretty big performance gap IMO.

Ohh, you were talking about the 3gb version? I was talking about the 6 GB version. Both are altogethere different GPUs, not just the VRAM difference. Hence I mentioned previously that the 3gb 1060 should be called a 1050ti instead.

So should I go for it? I am on a very tight budget man(about 18 K)
Go there, bargain with them and get it for 17k or 17.5k including tax.

I asked for Sapphire RX 480 8GB Nitro+, they said 25.5k but I said I want a discount then they said 24.5k. So it all depends on bargaining.
