I used to have 1060 3GB and it worked well. I did an upgrade 2 years ago for a mini pc that has 6650m with 8GB and so far I do not feel the need to upgrade for at least next 5 years. Of course this doesn't mean that I play modern titles on ultra, but everything I play runs smooth as butter.
I think even 1060 6GB is fine today. Not flashy and powerful, but should be able to run many games just fine. One also could seek 1080Ti used and be set for a very long time with that one. I see many people reporting their 1080Ti is still running everything fine and no fuss. 9 years old card :)
1080Ti gang here, I'm not playing all the cool new shit but ARC Raiders, for instance, is absolutely no problem and in general I don't really feel a need to upgrade. Until the steam machine arrives, that is 😄
Gabe Cube isn't going to be that much faster unless you build your own steam machine with stronger GPU
I know it's not a big upgrade, but I need something much smaller in my office space and the wife needs a new PC so I'll pass my monstrous case on to her. Thanks for mansplaining tho!
