Is this a good GPU

ShaunW500 · Oct 3, 2017

Hey,

I am looking to get this card, https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-03G-P4-6162-KR/dp/B01L31DAQK/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1507069701&sr=1-3&keywords=GTX%2B1060&refinements=p_89%3AEVGA&th=1

I am worried because its a single fan, its not going to be good in temps and shorten the life span of it. Can anybody advise if this will happen?

nothing wrong with it. I prefer a dual fan solution too.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Nvidia-1060-GDDR5-PCI/dp/B01KHWOAR4/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1507070121&sr=1-1&keywords=1060+3gb
dual fans allow for more cooling under load, quieter when idle and if a fan fails the card will live while you find a replacement.

I found that card, but the main reason why I would want to go with EVGA is because I heard that replacement warranty is top notch here in the UK. Gigabyte I do not know.

I cannot speak to UK but I have dealt with Gigabyte in dealing with RMA's and have always been happy. The Shop I worked at primarily used Gigabyte and MSI for certain parts and both were good when it came to returns. I do understand your concerns though. I am with you on a dual fan solution any extra funds are IMHO worth it.
I do know that in the best GPU tables on Toms, the RX 560, the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050ti are Gigabyte cards.
I assume those are the cards they tested with.

hmmm. Looking at the RX560, it has way more better specification then the 1050 and 1050ti, and is cheaper. I have never had a AMD card, just because I always hear bad stuff about them, but this was a while ago. Do you think the RX560 is worth it for 1080p gaming.

they are very close the decision is yours. UK pricing is different that the states so I cannot say if its a good choice for you.
