MSI Gtx 1060 Gaming X 6gb vs ASUS Strix gtx 1060 Non-OC 6gb

digi550 · Mar 11, 2017

hi , wanted to upgrade my gpu.....Could not decide which one to get got stucked between asus gtx strix 1060 Non-OC and MSI gtx 1060 gaming x . honestly i have never used asus or msi gpu before ..... i heard a lot of good reviews for ASUS as its most reliable , but what about MSI are they as good as Asus ???

ASUS is more reliable IMO but have worse cooling. MSI has the best cooling (of maybe any brand) and overclocks great / performs a bit better.

What is the price difference?

harrisjb78 :

Asus is cheaper as its the Non-Oc version . Asus is $22 cheaper than MSI

harrisjb78 · Mar 11, 2017

Ehh...about the same then.
I'm happy with my MSI (Rx480) - silent, runs cool and performs good.

Really the only difference is the stock clock speed - Nothing is stopping you from overclocking the ASUS to the speed of the OC version.

for 1060 best choice seems Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce 2X OC 6GB or G1 version if you can add couple of €.

Thank You , i was about to get Asus strix gtx 1060 OC version but its not available in my state . honestly i liked asus but , heard like overclocking Non-OC version GPU will void the warranty.

Suporex :

yes , thats a nice card but heard like gigabyte are the most loudest card in 1060 series.

Suporex · Mar 12, 2017

digi550 :

I actually hear opposite. Just check reviews on amazon.co.uk there is ridiculous amount of them.

Suporex :

Thank You , i have checked all the reviews on amazon.co.uk and could see all the good reviews .... but this video made me confuse , check it from 7.07 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wYeuV3jMX4 .

+1 to Suporex. From what I have heard they aren't any more noisy than another.

I have seen this video before, this guy is doing this review without ever actually using any of those cards. I have to say I don't have it eaither but I want to buy one and based on all the reviews from people that actually have those cards it seems it is not loud at all, many people are actually saying that it is not and that it keeps temps very low as well.

Thank You , i would prefer gigabyte at that price point ..... but still curious to know are MSI cards are not good , because no one has recommended still .

harrisjb78 · Mar 13, 2017

I have an MSI Rx480 and I am very happy with it.

What do you want to know about it?

digi550 · Mar 13, 2017

harrisjb78 :

when compared to Asus , gigabyte and MSI , why MSI has got low preference ??? is it because its expensive or the brand is not trusted ???

harrisjb78 · Mar 13, 2017

I wouldn't say they have low preference. They overclock great and have good cooling.

Honestly I really liked the Sapphire 480 - it's maybe the nicest looking GPU made in my opinion. I went with the MSI because it was cheap, my main board is MSI and I generally have had good experience with their products. It's just brand loyalty.

ASUS makes a very good product, usually no issues. Never owned anything Gigabyte so I have no opinion.

harrisjb78 :

Asus was my first opinion and then MSI , but Gigabyte came out of the topic . honestly i dint like the aesthetics of gigabyte , i would prefer MSI over gigabyte .
