Hi, I am planing to buy Asus gtx 1060 6gb dual, now there are 2 version of this card one is OC another one isnt.

https://www.asus.com/rs/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-GTX1060-6G/overview/

https://www.asus.com/rs/Graphics-Cards/DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/

Can someone tell me how big is performance difference between those 2 GPU and is it worth to spend extra 25-30 euros for OC edition? (that is difference in price in my country)

Thanks in advance

Forget to mention that I will use this GPU for 1080p gaming most of the time

On the US site I found this:

6G
GPU Boost Clock : 1708 MHz
GPU Base Clock : 1506 MHz

O6G
OC Mode - GPU Boost Clock : 1809 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1594 MHz
Gaming Mode (Default) - GPU Boost Clock : 1785 MHz , GPU Base Clock : 1569 MHz

So, the O6G model offers an extra 63 or 88 MHz of base clock (4.2%, 5.8%), and an extra 77 or 101 MHz (4.5%, 5.9$), of boost clock. Considering that they have exactly the same cooling solution, and that you can manually overclock it yourself anyway, I'd go for the 6G. Otherwise you'd basically be paying 25-30 euros for someone to dial in a ~5% overclock for you and add a button to enable or disable it.

the actual boost clock depends on the temperature.
and it is usually higher than advertised.
If the difference was 5-10 euro, it would make sense, but for 20-30 it's kinda pointless.
If it was EVGA SC vs non SC models, i'd say it's worth since EVGA SC and FTW models are tested at the factory (every single card goes through 30 min test).
those that pass - sold as SC and FTW. those that fail, sold as non SC and DT models.
but i doubt that's the case with asus.

I have Asus strix gtx 950 and I was doing some overclock Core clock 1516 mhz and Memory clock 7600mhz, and it run fine for 2 weeks 3-4 hours a day like that and no problem at all, but I decided to give GPU a break and put it to stock values, so you are probably right
