I just ordered this card but can cancel still for another card. Now my question is how does this card perform? Will it handle games like Overwatch, Dayz, Battlefield, and other games well? I want to play on high settings with good frames. Can it handle it, or would the MSI Gaming X be a better choice? The EVGA's base clock is 1632 Mhz with a boost clock of 1860, but I will be overclocking it to as high as I can without putting a lot of stress on it. Thank you for all the help!

I play alot of overwatch and I got the card. I check to see if it could handle max settings as from the good reviews people said about it I though it could, except it really couldn't. I had 30 fps on max settings, and it made my 600W thermalite PSU fan run louder than usual. The card is factory overclocked, I have not boosted it yet. Is this something I should expect? Could other 1060 models handle full settings? Would overclocking my GPU to its max potential help it perform and possibly be able to run max graphics? Or is the 1060 lineup just not strong enough? Please help thank you!

There is a option in the options that locks your fps at 30, Uncheck it, if its on.
