Which GTX 1060 6GB to buy?

jellied.pineapple · Mar 8, 2018

Hi there, i have been looking to upgrade from my GTX 770 to a 1060 and have decided to go with the 6GB version however there are, of course, many different models from the different retailers. The one i had my sights fixed on was the ASUS Dual GTX 1060 (https://www.ebuyer.com/753848-asus-geforce-dual-gtx-1060-6gb-gddr5-graphics-card-dual-gtx1060-6g) but upon further inspection there are many cheaper variants such as the Palit one at ~£40 cheaper. How do i decided which model to go for and is the ASUS Dual worth that extra money?

Many thanks!

At the end of the day you will buy what you want. I have seen this happen a couple of times.

I personally would go for the ASUS. In my opinion i like that they have a little higher clock speed and i think their cooling is a bit better. But however that is my opinion. If it was me i would not think twice and go for the asus.

I have not followed up on Palit so i do not know how good they are...

Also check the clock speed difference between the two. Which would you prefer? What would satisfy your need?

What would you be happy with at the end of the day...

Is the 770 currently letting you down in any way? Going by the GPU hierarchy, the 1060 is only one tier higher, so you may not see much of a performance difference.

Well I currently struggle to run current games like the Witcher at anything above sort of low/medium settings and since I was upgrading my CPU and motherboard I wanted to make sure everything was up to date
