[I know which is better between the two, but I have a huge backlog and it will take years before I will need a 1070.]
I have a $100 Dell Promo GC that expires on 3/10. My MSI 660Ti PE is crapping out due to MSI overvolting them(it has the randomly wont boot problem that there was an article about years ago, why MSI got on nVidia's blacklist) I will be getting a Scorpio(since it is supposedly going to have 1070 rivaling performance (woohoo if true.)
So I can price match and get the XLR8 1070 for $290(PM the $380 at newegg, it's their reg price so I hope Dell won't refuse), or I can do the smarter thing and get the 1060 6GB for $180 and them just step up whenever I need to, probably when the GTX 13-- are out.
I have a 1080P monitor so the 1070 wouldn't work very hard.
