PSU Recommendations for GTX 1060, 1070, and 1080 Cards

GTX 1060 and 1070 are very old GPU's (almost 5 Years), but they are still being used. These GTX 10 Series cards provide very much Playable Frame Rates in most of the AAA titles. All together makes 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.

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.
