Hello, I'm thinking of buying a new graphics card the MSI GTX 1060 Gaming but I saw that there is another model MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X i would like to know what is the difference between both and if it is worth buying the model X
I'd go for the cheaper one, because the same model card from different manufacturers have +-2% performance difference (except the reference card, it is the slowest one by up to 10%). Unless you really need that +1-2fps in total to be 101fps or 102fps instead of 99-100fps in games, get the one that is less expensive.

As you can see, the only difference is, X version has slightly faster Booster Clock (0.06 GHz, not enough to notice the effect in games). No other difference.
Also, that 0.06GHz higher clock speed can be very easily achieved on the "slower by 0.06GHz" card through overclocking programs and such small OC won't cause any harm, so either way the cheaper card wins!
