@@luckypillgrim1913 Warframe graphic are pretty intense. You might wanna tune down a little or buy a graphic card cooler. Being 70c is fine tbh, my dual fan variant goes up to 60+ c when in full load.
This is a very detailed and informative video. Makes me want to buy a 1060 even more. Keep up the good work man. Hope you keep the same way of presenting videos like this
You should get the EVGA sc version, I have it. Playing Farcry 4 on it right now on almost ultra everything. Only occasionally have I seen it dip under 60 fps, in most outpost attacks, it stays over 60 fps still. Temps are very good, roughly high 50s I get, the max I had was 69 under benchmarking, and under 30 idle on a cool day.
Pretty much the same here, with my card only dipping below the 60's in games like Planetside 2 at 1440p.These cards are great in terms of sheer performance.
I have to say this guy is one of the best tech reviewers on RU-vid! Straight to the point, very informative and clear, doesn't waste a second of my time. Keep up the good work!
Has anyone else noticed the 80-100 dollar price gouging on the 6GB versions just so they can sell more 3gb versions? If you spend more than 300 on a 1060, you are not very smart.
IN other words they are raising the price to sell more 3gb cards. I don't think they planned to release a 3gb at all but had to undercut the RX-480 so they tossed it together.
Shrugs, I am not sure why. I would never choose a 3gb over a 6gb 1060, I am still going back and forth in my mind on a system I am building for my gf if I should go with the 6gb 1060 or 8 gb 480. That Sapphire Nitro is a good looking card. The only reason I shy away from just doing it is because she likes to play in SecondLife and ALL R series cards have a screen tearing issue there including the RX480. It is clearly a driver issue but AMD doesn't care because its an older game. It's a known bug for many older OpenGL games. It is kind of weird. I mean both cards are already low end, why would anyone want the one with less Vram? They would regret not spending the extra 10 or 20 bucks later. That is at normal pricing, right now the 6gb 1060 is being sold way too high. I have found 1070's for less than some 1060's.
Adjust the settings right and it will perform much better and look slightly worse than ultra. I could almost do ultra on my 750 ti at 1080p. Just have to turn down features I don't notice. Scaling and AA tend to waste huge amounts of VRAM for slight improvements above 125-150 percent and 2x respectively. Keep those down and AF up. Reflections eat up fps too. I'm not sure how much is from VRAM exhaustion. I keep them low. Textures as high as I can see a difference.
i got the STRIX 1060 OC but only because i got a sick deal on it at the place where i work (285 USD down from 425), absolutely mindblowing performance coming from an AMD 7970 radiator. the STRIX maxes out at 62C with over 2GHz on the core, ridiculous
Anurag mishra I got a 1 yr used pc With msi dual fan overclockable gtx 1060 6gb 16gb ram Amd fx 8350 4.5ghz 8core 1tb internal Seagate 650watt psu Big cabinet 5 custom fans costing 30dollar each I very good usb 3 motherboard All for 530 I fucking got the beat deal in my life
I mean all. The black color, the size the shape (forget about it double sense or wathever). It´s sexy as hell. I believe asus has the better designs. I have an asus 960 gtx and i like it all the videocard the box. Its 100% quality product.
Hello. I wanted to know if is a good idea to install one of the 1060 cards on my pc build or should i go for a 960. here's my pc build: Intel 6500, 3.2GHz MSI B150M BAZOOKA 16GB 2400 RAM AeroCool 600W Power suply 80+ bronze LG Ultrawide, 25" SSD 850 250GB If you still recomend the 1060 on my specs, which model should i get? thank you for the great video and for the time wasted on my comment.
Thank you for you reply. Continue the good work. Just want you to know that you are really captivating, and I dont usually subscrive channels (I know, I should help more the youtubers on that matter xD) but your's was a must.
I have asked about 50 people now, and I still have yet to come to a final answer; will my FX-6300 bottleneck the GTX 1060? I have asked newbies, and people with 5 years of experience in the PC gaming world. Some have said it will bottleneck too much to be worth it, and others say it will be fine and only bottleneck, at max, 5%. This is really confusing me, and I want to know a final answer. If anyone has a similar system to this, or has an *extreme* knowledge of PC building, please help me. I don't plan to upgrade my CPU this year, next year I will be getting the new AMD Zen CPU, but for now I want to focus on this GPU. Thank you for helping. This research has been very stressful... -Dk Boen
Let me say up front, I haven't used a FX-6300 in awhile and not with the new gen of graphics cards... That being said, for most games, I would not expect it to be a major issue. Would an i5-6500 be faster? Yes. Would it be so much faster as to make it a horrible experience in your FX-6300? No. Would I personally put that card into that machine? No. Have you considered a RX 470? That strikes me as the right GPU for that CPU, it costs less, is slightly slower, and is better matched with a $100 CPU than a $260 GPU (assuming we're talking about the 6GB version)
Tech Deals Thank you for the quick reply. Although I am taking your advice into consideration as I do with all the advice I have received, I believe I will still be getting the GTX 1060 Asus Turbo. This is because I will be upgrading my CPU next year, and I don't see it fit to upgrade my GPU, just to have to get a better one to match my CPU. I do write down most of the advice I am given, and so I will be taking this into check. Thank you. -Dk Boen
Tech Deals Thank you. Although I am very nervous to see what the outcome is, hopefully it will be OK. I will mostly be playing Overwatch, Ark, and a few other games that may be Cpu/Gpu intensive.
when ´will they released in Italy? why they removed the SLI - bridge ? i´ve got before a gigabyte gtx 960 ( 4gb edition ) in sli mode , it was a beast - it beats a gtx 980 easily sorry my english is not good
Sono già fuori le 1060, hanno rimosso lo SLI perchè alla fine era allo stesso livello di una 1070-1080 spendendo meno e sai com'è Nvidia in queste cose -.- Io ho ordinato la mia su taocomputer ma ce ne sono anche su alternate ecc..
i finally bought the msi one and from your description, both seems to not run fans at all if the temps are below 60c or something. i haven't experience the fan running at full speed so it's mostly at 36-40% power when it does run and it runs quietly. in terms of noise level, it might be negligible difference for both so either one is ok to get imo.
I have a question, how come you're saying ASUS is not the fastest at 6:40? On what basis do you say that? I did some research and the ASUS one has the highest memory clock, boost clock and core clock. It has the most GPixels, GTexels, GFlops and Bandwidth. Everything else is the same on the cards. The order goes like this; ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1060 GAMING OC > EVGA GTX 1060 SC ACX 2.0 > GIGABYTE GTX 1060 G1 Gaming Rev 1.0 > MSI GTX 1060 GAMING X > Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! ASUS having the fastest clocks and speeds and the most capacity to overclock since it has such a great cooling and a program made for it called GPUTweak II. ASUS might be the priciest, but it is the fastest and the quietest. I have the ASUS 1060 one, and the fans don't even run at all, even if I am playing some games and the temps are really low. I haven't overclocked yet, but I plan in doing so. Let's see how many of these single fan, or low CORE CLOCK/MEMORY/BOOST CLOCK cards can get overclocked past ASUS without getting too hot, or loud. I heard Gigabyte has coil whining on their cards, EVGA has fan problems, ZOTAC isn't as good as I have heard and MSI was pricier than ASUS where I live. For me the best choice was ASUS since I have a big case and will be overclocking and I like the LED colors. ASUS also has a really good support.
The listed clock speeds don't mean anything, they all turbo above those numbers anyway. Without touching a thing, the EVGA SC 1060 runs at 2GHz. While the ASUS might go ever so slightly higher on manual turbo, few people will do that. Further, the ASUS card is $50 more expensive than the EVGA, it isn't worth the money unless you just like 3 fan RGB cards.
+Tech Deals You do realize, even if they all go turbo and etc. So will the ASUS one, not only that, but the rest will have higher temps and the fan will be running on higher speeds and that means more noise. Not only that, but if you decide to Overclock, the ASUS one is still going to be the best. Even if it's "slightly", the ASUS one is faster. If you want numbers, I can provide. I can also overclock my own ASUS card right now, and get it stable and show you how much higher it can go, with decent temperatures, stability as well as low noise. Go to this site and it will show you the clocks as well as turbo, the turbo one is in () ; thepcenthusiast.com/geforce-gtx-1060-compared-asus-evga-msi-gigabtye-zotac/ Go to this site and it will show you every difference as well as TURBO; www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b3697/asus-rog-strix-gtx-1060-gaming-oc Do tell me, how much overclocking can you do with a single fan? How much overclocking can you do with a bad heatsink? How much overclocking can you do, if your original clocks are LOW. The performance might be slightly difference, or not noticeable, however you can't say it's not faster when it is. You also forgot that the ASUS one has a backplate, so it's not just the low noise, higher clocks or RGB lights and 3 fans, it's also the backplate.
Oh and sorry, but even if the EVGA goes at 2GHz without touching a thing, the ASUS one goes 2GHz without touching a thing as well, and I just checked, the ASUS 2GHz is still faster, even if it is slightly. So on what basis do you say it is faster again?
+Tech Deals I understand the budget limitations, didn't mean anything wrong, but I can't seem to find a good comparison between g1 and strix 1060s. The offers that I am getting here atm are: G1 gaming 1060 - 305 euro, Strix 1060 (O version) - 345 euro So in your opiniom, is the 40 euro difference worth it?
+Tech Deals Yea, rgb is a less important factor for me. Performance comes in at first place, both graphic and cooling. I am a bit of a gigabyte fan too I guess. Strix has about 30ish more MHz, and more pipes in direct contact (6 for strix and 2 for g1), and even one more fan (g1s are a bit bigger and spin in different directions to improve the flow tho). I do plan to overclock the new card as well, so I'm just trying to find the best option in the first go that I won't regret in any way. I always tend to do my research before buying stuff
strix ti je 323e. oc najjaca verzija ti je toliko. najbolja kod nas u ponudi je msi gaming x, ali drzi cenu. msm da je g1 305e i asus dual 300e top prica
xZeus Yep! I just got the windowless Fractal Define S for maximum noise reduction, can't wait for it to arrive so I can compare to my current window case.
I can agree that overdoing the lights in a case can look "tacky". That said, I do have a case with a smaller window (Thermaltake Commando Snow Edition) and I must say that the subtle glow from the single LED strip at the top of the case is rather pleasing...plus it makes a great night light. As for lighting on individual components? No thanks...just not my thing.
You absolutely deserve more subscribers. You seem like a really genuine guy who knows what he's talking about. Keep up the good work! (You're the reason I actually bought a GTX 1060).
Thank you for the kind words! :) I figure my channel will be successful if I offer useful information that helps people make decisions and save money! Please share my videos with your friends!
May I suggest one thing? Change your font used in your videos to something more 'fancy'/'conservative'. I love the production quality of your videos but the font style seems out of place.
Bleach McBleachersen In dx11 amd driver is shit for having big over head thus causing cpu usage too high. In this situation you need to use nvidia instead of amd.
Hey man! Thanks for the video! Just in time for me since I want to upgrade from mine 950 to a 1060. Probably will go with strix since I have a window and the backplate is always welcome)
This video is very informative from the perspective of a hobbyist. You told me the things I cared about clearly and concisely; how much does it cost and are the more expensive ones worth it? I don't care about CUDA cores or how many extra watts it draws when OC'ed -- I just want to know if I can strap it into my PC, throw out my old GTX 560 (Yup... over 5 years old now) and I can run Overwatch at max detail at 60 FPS. I'm definitely subscribing, and I look forward to more videos like this. Keep it up!
Sir.... thnx for doing all these stuffs for us I really find this video helpful for me............ im going to buy gtx 1060 this year but all i was wondering about 'WHICH ONE' but now i got my answer ... all thnx to you sir...
Hi!! I´m spanish, and it is the best explication I´ve seen about these cards. Take my "like" and I hope see you soon on your next video.....Great Job!! P.D.: I´ve bought the Zotac and in 2 days I´ll install on my old AM2NF6G-VSTA.....
I set up an eGPU using the evga 1060 superclocked, and it works amazing. CSGO gets up to 2-300 on max settings, but of you play competitively you'll get even higher cuz you won't be on max settings. Battlefield1 hits 80-100 on ultra. I'd assume older titles will run even faster.
@Tech Deals What intel CPU under $200 would you recommend to use with a 3GB GTX 1060, an I5 6500 perhaps? And what mobo? Right now i have my old Phenom II x6 1100T and i feel im having a big bottleneck there. Love your videos man, specially how clear and easy to understand they are ;)
Sir, Does having 1 fan affects the gpu in long run, tempreture wise,calculated in hours, e.g wat if i play games 5-7 hours non stop.. DOes having 2 fans increases life of the GPU. PS i heard your review on fan just wanna no straight forward.. :)
I know it may sound stupid, But. I wouldnt buy a single fan card as it looks cheap and like it was made in 2005 for a cheap prebuilt pc. I also know that many people dont care and i might be the only one who does ? On the other hand I have a cheap laptop with the amd APU so what can i say....
I regret not having discovered this channel earlier. It's informative, straight to the point, well produced and has a confident, calm presenter. Too many other channels are full of fluff and obnoxious personalities.
Holy damn man, editing wasn't even done for different aspects, as in, different scenes. It shows real personality and confidence, not to mention a script that was absolutely well thought out word for word. I don't see many people like that in the tech scene, you've earned my subscription good sir ^^
Just an FYI for all those who want to get the EVGA gtx 1060, I found it on Best Buy for $249.99 and the Super Clocked version for $241.99 (It doesn't have reviews so im guessing they lowered the price a little to get buyers
I bought the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Vram SSC model (super super clocked? It has two fans instead of one and is much longer) from Best Buy a couple weeks ago for $270 and I think it was a pretty good deal. I only have a 24" IPS 60hz monitor so until I buy a more expensive monitor I think it should do fine for now. I still only have an i5-2500k 3.3ghz CPU so if I decide to go higher res or VR I think I'll have to make a new PC with a better CPU and maybe a 1070 gpu.
What about this ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 3GB GDDR5 or this one MSI GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 GEFORCE GTX 1060 3GT OC 3GB. Which will play SCUM at say 30 FPS or above? I upgraded my internet to a GB connection to rule out lag and I came to the conclusion that my Geforce 750ti just doesn't have a playable framerate when entering cities. Advice would be grateful thanks.
My zotac card is usually at 0% fan speed too. Very good card. I got it cause it was in stock and its size, which fits in my small case. The software they provide is really nice too for overclocking and controlling heat.
Ignore what I said. 1 month later, I have bad graphics artifacts, glowing balls, multicoloured squares, odd shapes.. yeah it's broken, and I never overclock, everything is default.
Best thing about his reviews, is that anybody can understand what he's talking about & he still gets into enough detail to appeal to enthusiasts, too. I bought a EVGA 1060 6GB. Will be my 2nd Ryzen rig. Built myself a Ryzen 7 1700, now doing a Ryzen 5 system for the wife. AMD has proven to me that it's a solid platform. Intel CPU's are simply overpriced right now, when you compare price to performance.
I'm thinking of getting a 1060 around my birthday in May 2017 when i have the money to spend on it and i want my 960 to last as long as it can and ive only have it just under a year since i built my PC december 2015 and was able to use it about the 20th december so its not a year old but the 960 isn't doing to great on some game i play like Mafia 3 and Watch Dogs 2 not even hitting 60fps on Mafia 3 lowest settings 1920x1080 and getting 60fps low or 30-45fps high-ultra on Watch Dogs 2. But anyway i was wondering should i get the single fan EVGA GTX 1060 6gb oc or the dual fan ftw+ for like the extra $50aud. I'm probably not going to go above 1920x1080 for like another 5-10 years since 1080p is fine i care about ultra 60fps more than resolution
Great video. Too bad I saw this after I already bought my asus 1060 turbo 6gb :p. Should have spent some more money and bought a strix instead ? Is it a decision that I'll regret for the rest of my life ? Also as a side question, I have an old i7 2600(not the K one) 3.4 ghz processor. I think the default bios settings allows me to overclock it to 3.8 ghz. Should I bother with a cpu upgrade ? And if so, what should I go for ?(within a reasonable price range of course). Thanks in advance.
"If it plays games like minecraft, LoL," XD Minecraft isn't Graphic intensive at ALL, Its basically all CPU power. You could have no GPU and have a good CPU and you would run it almost exactly the same. So the fans deal is just... ugghhh
