GTX 1060 and 1070 are very old GPUs (almost 5 Years), but they are still being used. These GTX 10 Series cards provide very much Playable Frame Rates in most AAA titles. All together make them the all-rounder Cards for Budget Gamers.
These GTX 10 Series Cards can be used to get 40-60 Frame Rates with low to Medium Quality. Due to the low costs and Playable Frame Rates, these Cards are still being used a lot.
Well, coming back to our topic, here are some of my personal PSU Recommendations for GTX 1060, 1070, and 1080 Cards.
PSU For GTX 1060 – Corsair CX Series 450 watts
On an Average GTX 1060 cards don’t require high-wattage PSUs, 400-500 watt PSUs are going to be ok for these GPUs. So, the Corsair CX Series 400-watts PSU seems to be perfect. It is an 80 Plus Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply. For safety, it comes with a 5 Year Warranty. This PSU costs you around $50 on Amazon and $44 on NewEgg.
Best PSU for GTX 1070/1080 – Corsair CF 600 Watt PSU
The Nvidia GTX 1070/1080 consumes more power when compared to the GTX 1060. Using a 600Watt PSU for the GTX 1070/1080 Cards is recommended. However, if you want to downgrade, 500watt is the minimum you can go for these GPUs.
So this Corsair SF 600-watt PSU works fine, like the GTX 1060, the GTX 1070 is also a Bronze Certified, Fully Modular PSU, and it comes with a Seven Year of Warranty.
