Shows you how uninformed the more casual PC gamer is when the 1060 has such a dominant marketshare advantage over the 480. The marketshare should be equal between the two as the cards are more or less equal (480 is slightly faster in modern games). Tell me Gaf, why is this not the case?
A 980 ti is about 10% behind a 1070 stock for stock: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1070/24.html. I don't think it can reach a 1080. Even most OC'd 1070s, which are generally faster than OC'd 980tis, have trouble reaching a 1080.
Ah yes it's just that simpleI didn't know about this data miner stuff until yesterday, but I don't understand the notion that they are "ruining the GPU market". They are consumers just like you and me, who cares that they use the GPUs for that mining nonsense and not for playing Minecraft. Blame greedy manufacturers and outlets for rising the prices.

The 1060 is a good card, but it's a damn shame it only goes to 6GB and has a 192-bit bus.
If it had 8GB and 256-bit bus it would be perfect.

Is there a way for Nvidia and AMD to gimp mining performance on consumer cards and sell a special mining version as part of their professional lines?
Hopefully Nvidia take this as a sign that the next x70 card could do with a price point closer to the 970 than the 1070 had.

Did you see the Vega benchmarks? Cause Nvidia saw them and jacked up the 1170's RRP another $50.
Truthfully, they don't need to. The 1070 still sold well, even with the inflated prices around launch. It's just that the 1060 is pushed by the big review sites and users as "the" 1080p/60fps card, which I'm guessing makes up many if not most PC gamers.
And it's not like AMD have been giving them much to worry about.
Is 1060 really that good? Im planning on buying a 1070 but I only play on a 1080p monitor, is that overkill?

Depends on what your expectations are and what games you want to play. My 780 still plays a lot of games at high settings at 1080p while maintaining good framerates of 60 and up. Some even at max settings. I do run into a couple that give my GPU a really tough time (I'm looking at you Deus Ex Mankind Divided!).
Seeing as how the 1060 comes close to 980 performance, which is quite a big upgrade over my 780, I would imagine that you will be fine with it at 1080p
I'm still happily sitting on my 780 that I bought at launch in 2013. I don't see any meaningful reason to upgrade until I finally move beyond 1080p to a 4K monitor in a year or two. I've found that I'm still getting a console beating experience in basically everything I play and have no desire to drop a chunk of money on a new card unless I'll see a really significant shift in experience. I think I've gotten pretty decent value for money for the $2200 (Australian) I spent on my system in 2013. I figure I'll do something similar next year or 2019. Buy a 4K monitor and invest in whatever the flagship card is at that point. My 4670k and motherboard will probably need to go as well.
For gaming only 2200 dollars per 6 years on hardware seems quite expensive.
Sorry guys, new to those kind of stats.
Am I reading them right? The most popular GPU has a (more or less) 3% Steam market share?
Isn't that a bit... low?
Sorry for the (likely *extremely* noob) question, I'm trying to understand.
If you have a 980Ti that can maintain a stable 1500MHz OC it would be about on par with a stock 1080 and be at a point where a 1070 outside maybe more extreme over clockers is not going to reach.

Why would you think that owners of <insert card> are less likely to participate?Does the Steam hardware survey give the response rate?

What would be the best bang for your buck to game at 1080p atm? I'm thinking of upgrading from my 7850 due to its 2Gb VRAM. This card will go into my 2nd rig for streaming in the future (looking to pair with a Ryzen build) once I get enough cash to go all out for my main rig.
Probably the rx580, problem is that you can't buy one anywhere for a normal price.
Surprised by the lack of 980 and 980Ti up in there to be honest....thought there were still pretty dang popular cards (I have an OC 980, it's still beast enough).

Last, what is all this "mining" business and what does it have to do with GPUs?
Hopefully Nvidia take this as a sign that the next x70 card could do with a price point closer to the 970 than the 1070 had.
970 still going strong, will probably upgrade once 1160/1170 come out.
