Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (GV-N1060G1GAMING-6GD)
EVGA GTX 1060 SC (06G-P4-6163-KR)
Palit GTX 1060 Dual (NE51060015J9D)

If those cards are at same price, which one is better buy in terms of price/performance. Right now all of them are listed for 290 eur.

Criteria:
Price / performance
Heat
Noise
Build quality

Things that I don't really care about:
Size
Looks

What are your suggestions?
 
Solution
card speed / boost

gigabyte 1594/1809 gaming 1620/1847 OC
evga 1607/1835
palit 1506/1708

If it was me i would pick the evga card, im not to down on having to switch the gigabyte card between gaming a OC mode, plus EVGA has awesome RMA support (although not to sure how it works in the UK)

But if you just going by stats the the gigabyte card left in OC mode would win since it has the better stats.

I disagree. I have the EVGA 1060 SC and out of the box it OC to 2012MHz. No settings selected or anything. I actually thought there was a problem and looked online. Others have the same results. Plus if you up the fan speed slightly, it never gets above 65c under full load so it never throttles.

Also, below 60c the fan turns off and is completely silent. EVGA has really impressed me. If you don't care about a backplate or fancy lights. This is the one to get.
 


with boost 3.0 any 1060 will overclock out of the box like that if the temperature is low enough
but of the cards provided I agree the EVGA is the best
the G1 is a nice card as well
with Palit, you'd want to get at least the JetStream as the cooler is way better than on the Dual
