I was looking at a 1060. With a trade in of my 960 it shouldn't be too much of a blow to the wallet.
Yeah a 1060 is probably what I'm going to end up with. Resale value on my current card is essentially nil so whatever I end up buying I will be funding fully from new cash. That's the problem with leaving it too long to upgrade, do it every 18 months or so and you can partly offset the cost of your new card by selling the old, leave it much longer and especially if you go through two generations of card, whatever is in your PC is just a paperweight.
I could
afford a 1070 in terms of 'I have the money in the bank' but having it and spending it aren't the same thing, it's trying to weigh up whether the extra cash spent now would be worth it in terms of the additional longevity it would provide, weighed against spending less now and hoping that the price points are more attractive when my next upgrade is due.
Looking at those pics again, they are pretty much exactly what I wanted in terms of improvements. When people in this (and other) threads talked about people wanting the game to look like NMS and I said '
No, that's the last thing I want but there's room for a great deal more variety without needing to make everything look like a cartoon' those pictures are basically what was in my mind, it's like FDev took a peek inside my head and rendered it lol. They all look great, there's significant variety but every one of them still looks as if it could be
real, not like a kid's drawing. If they genuinely end up looking that good in-game, I'll be delighted.
