EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 vs MSI GTX 1060 3GB OC

apelsinimahl · May 17, 2018

Hello i am chosing between 2 GPU-s atm and wanted to ask if the 40 euro would be worth to buy the EVGA gpu. I dont know about the diffrences between GPU-s but the MSI card have better cooling becouse it have double fans and temperatures would be lower with it? and the msi clock boost is bigger but the evga have 6GB memory. Would the EVGA be very much better in performance? becouse the noise actually i dont care if evga would make more noise i just want good performance and not very high temperatures. Which choice would be the better? lowest 1060 6GB by money or medium 1060 3GB. I just dont know much about EVGA GPU-s.

1)MSI - https://arvutitark.ee/est/tootekataloog/0/3GB-MSI-GTX1060-OC-PCI-e-265070

2)EVGA - https://arvutitark.ee/est/tootekataloog/0/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1060-GAMING-6GB-GDDR5-192-Bit-234542

The prices are in my country there.

I don't know if this will help....but I am running a 1060 6GB and most games are using more than 3. Some use between 5 and 6.

Hey, look at your links: the MSI offers 3GB of VRAM, the EVGA 6GB. That makes the difference.
Please consider furthermore that EVGA support is the best I know in case you are facing issues with your hardware. That is worth to me another 5% on top.

I would recommend to go for this Asus 6GB 1060 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jZJkcf/asus-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-dual-video-card-dual-gtx1060-o6g

The difference between the 3gb and 6gb models can be quite different as the extra vram can make a difference and also the additional cuda cores makes a bump in performance (10-15 FPS).

yeah the asus looks cool also but costs more than 300 euro and my budget was for first 1060 3gb but the lowest money 1060 6gb is 40 euro expensiver and i would chose 6gb or 3gb but if 6gb then only evga. but if there is only 10-15 fps change then i would go with 3gb becouse 40 euro is not worth for me for 10-15 fps boost.

Well its not only for that FPS boost, once those games exceed 3gb vram then it will go to your system memory which is slow and is going to cause stuttering and such, if you can afford the 6gb version it's a much better choice and will last longer before a upgrade is required.

6GB is definetely worth buying considering that future games will use more VRAM than today. First game where I noticed this was Battlefront 2. Thus I recommend to go for the 6GB Asus or any comparable model having 2 fans.
