I'm possibly looking to buy a new video card
But I use 3x monitor setup
2x dvi and 1x HDMI

My current card supports this setup
My budget is 250$ shipping is Florida

But do HDMI to dvi adapters exist and or worth
It? Because most cards have all hdmi.

You can't really beat the gtx 1060 for budget gaming.

Progression line ->

RX 560 $100 -> GTX 1050 Ti $150 -> GTX 1060 3gb $200 -> GTX 1060 6gb $275 -> GTX 1070 $400+

There isn't an actual point in purchasing the GTX 1060 6gb because at that price point the 1070 is just SOO much better by user benchmarks and various sources u can find vouches from (Which should be expected)

Don't get a 1060 3GB...there is no point in that card except for the manufacturer.

For someone that lives on assistance and quit smoking cause they couldn't afford it anymore it amazes me you can't respect peoples budgets ever.

@op theres literally nothing wrong with the 3gb model except that some games at max settings want more video ram.
A prime example is GTA V but on average most titles at 1080p will function just fine without any real loses.

It amazes me how you and others rage at me for being frugal, all while defending this guy's budget. Hilarious
