Hi everyone,

Quick question, two 980s (not ti models) or two 1060s. Here in the U.K. as I'm sure it is gloablly the 980s really hold their value. I know someone who can sell me two for 320pounds. Where as a single 1060 is over two hundred and twenty pounds. I would think two 980s in my Mac Pro would be better but potentially in terms of future proofing would the 10series range be more ideal choice.

Many thanks.

Andrew :D

Unfortunately better to stay with Maxwell on Mac Pro. Pascal GPUs are still not supported under Os X as far as I know.
