What is Reddit's opinion of ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-Fan OC Edition VR Ready Dual HDMI DP 1.4 Gaming Graphics Card (DUAL-GTX1060-O6G)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Here's one on Amazon going for $1,000. Most others are going for the mid-500s, new. Looking at eBay, $350 seems to be a decent starting point for used ones, with a lot of models just below $400 for the 'Buy It Now' option. If that provides a reference point.

In what word is a gtx 1060 going for 490$ considered "normal price"? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-Dual-Fan-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=3OOFCRRE4TM8A&keywords=gtx+1060&qid=1649563983&sprefix=gtx+1060%2Caps%2C362&sr=8-1

Well, you can buy the exact card for $570, not as high as you say but still expensive. I've never used any products by Asus so what do I know

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-Fan How's this for a GTX 1060?

Good question. While a 2 or 3 fan card will cool the card better at fixed noise output (40 dBA is a common comfortable level), 1060s don't generate as much heat as 1070s, 1080s or 1080Tis so it's not like the single fan card will be unusable, not at all. I don't think the second fan and bigger heatsink is worth $60, I'd probably pay like 30 or so for better noise levels.

As a side note, if you were thinking of spending 60 bucks more on the GPU, why don't you step it up to a 6 Gb 1060? For just 10 bucks more over those 60 you could get the Asus 1060 Dual-Fan 6Gb. That would be a far noticeable upgrade in VRAM and performance (between 5 and 10% more fps).

just a suggestion maybe look into after market cards they will cool better and be quieter and Ive found one cheaper then Nividas https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-fan-Gaming-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1528069588&sr=8-5&keywords=gtx+1060+6gb&dpID=51T1GaSIVLL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

DAMN I assume too much, thought you were a laptop person :/

If you have around 2k kuna laying around this could work, the shipping can go up to a month but it's worth the wait. https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-fan-Gaming-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1521388439&sr=1-4&keywords=gtx+1060

You should be fine with a 1060 6gb with a 1080p display. (https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-fan-Gaming-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1514675797&sr=1-4&keywords=1060+6gb) This one is unexpensice and quite solid over all.

Seems like a scam to me. I wouldn't risk buying it at all and just report the guy as a scammer.

This is what the card is supposed to look like.

I game casually most of the time. Last year all I played was a boat load of hours on tf2 and I don't think overwatch takes a lot of power (but I could be wrong). I bought the laptop for school since the laptop itself is surprisingly pretty decent (battery screen speakers and keyboard). It ran the test cad file (I usually go to the lab anyway and so the cad I would run would be the basic stuff for homework) and it worked decently.

When I was looking at the laptop I noticed the thunderbolt 3 port (before that I was going to just get a Nintendo switch) and though for the same price I can buy an external gpu and the dock. (Maybe get a second hand graphics card off Craigslist ( I found a 980 4gb one for 320 and I can always barter down to 300). That would be $460 total and even with the bottle neck on the thunderbolt cable it should be enough to do 1080p gaming

Is that correct or am I off my rocker?

*edit: found https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-fan-Gaming-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE

For $280

Just a note - looks like they're restocking video cards on Amazon August 1st. Prices are dropping a good $60-$80 on the 1060. For example: https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-fan-Gaming-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1500992704&sr=1-4

Edit: And it went back up in price... I don't get these GPU prices!

I didn't realize graphics cards weren't that critical for video editing. If that is indeed the case, I feel a lot better as the current market is looking very limited. I did run across this, which will be available in a few days: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for the speedy response! A few questions. Does it really matter which 270 I go for? My initial response is just to go to the 270A since I was at 170A.

The GPU is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JHQT1SE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I will take your advice on the Power Supply. Do you think I should go up to a GTX 1070?

And lastly, you said that I might need an update with a SkyLake CPU... Isn't The CPU I'm buying KabyLake?

edit: nevermind I figured out the CPU thing, and the 270A is compatible. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for your response, I was looking at plurging a bit more and grabbing a 1070 but the 1060 looks to be quite adequate for my needs. Is this one you'd recommend: Link

I'll research the RX 480, my main concern is for password hash bruteforcing performance, but if I remember correctly, I read the 480 was very comparable in performance, I just haven't had an ATI card since my 9800 Pro back in the early 2000's, which was awesome at the time. I just know a lot of the tools I use are better coded to make use of CUDA and therefore better performance.

There aren't a whole lot of 1060's that have two HDMI ports. But this ASUS dual fan model looks like it does.

https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Dual-Fan-Gaming-Graphics-DUAL-GTX1060-O6G/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1478907232&sr=1-6&keywords=gtx+1060+6gb

Looks like the extra HDMI was put on that card with VR headset owners in mind. If you want to find a different two-HDMI model (assuming there are more) you might look for that type of model.

Thank you for your input, it's been a big help. Just one more question. How much of a difference is there between the 1060 I linked above and this one?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JHQT1SE/ref=twister_B01KJGWHIM

Its 50 dollars cheaper and I don't see much of a difference

That's a horrible deal, these are only 283 on Amazon

Or this from New egg at $350. https://m.newegg.ca/products/N82E16814125879

After shipping, they're both about the same price. How do I decide between the two or does it matter?

Okay I see. I’m looking at 1060s right now, should I be concerned with “boost clock” for the gpu? I see the first one on amazon has 1809mhz.

disclaimer- I know nothing about PCs.

Hey thanks for the quick reply! I mostly use my PC for gaming, and my current GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. And my current ram is 2 sticks of 8GB of ram (16GB total) from Corsair.

In terms of budget i'm rather flexible with how much I need to spend. I feel like my comfortable limit is around $200-$400 for a CPU, that being said if there is an option that is really good that is even cheaper than that, I would be willing to get that instead. If upgrading my motherboard and Ram is something that I need to do as well because of my outdated parts, then obviously i'm willing to spend more than my CPU budget.

I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to CPU's so i'm not sure what is good or not, however i'm getting better at knowing other parts such as GPU's and ram.

I don't think I need the CPU upgrade immediately, however some of the issues with my games are getting rather obnoxious when they occur (games becoming unresponsive for a half second or so when things get hectic). Most games work fine on my PC but I have noticed some of the newer games are beginning to have issues, even to the point of crashing to desktop in the middle of a game. Not going to go too much further with my tech issues as that's for a different subreddit.

Thanks again for the quick reply!

Thanks for the link. I'll look at some with integrated wifi as well .

my current is a

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-fan

Core i5 3.4ghz (i dont know what model it is)

ROG STRIX B250F GAMING

8gb of ram ( i cant remember the model or manufacture but when i get home i can check)

1tb of space (my 500gb hard drive failed and i cant get it to work anymore)

I wanna build a new one because I get lots of frame loss in arma3. I play high demanding games and i get around 80fps in arma3 but im starting to get high frame loss (it goes from 80 to 0 and does it over and over again) I read this one post where this guy plays at a higher fps on a higher setting with a worse cpu but same gpu and gets more fps then i do. Is it because of my 8gb ram? should i just upgrade to 16gb and build another pc in a couple of years?

Is it a factory overclocked GPU? Most of these cards will have OC in the name like this for example.

Like /u/Hatwat45 mentioned, there was a "fix" where a user underclocked their card 50mhz here stemming from this error.

If you're having difficulties underclocking and need a guide, this looks promising using MSI Afterburner.

Good luck troubleshooting!

Absolutely. Heres a 1060 for 285 With the prices the way they are though, it's better to wait as long as you can for the bubble to pop

I was looking at this as a possible option.

I currently have an ASUS GeForce 6GB 1060 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JHQT1SE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I love it. No problems so far

I have a 1060 and I love it. Runs everything I've tried no problems. Mine is a little loud due to beefy dual fans, but otherwise an awesome card for the price.

If you want to fit in an SSD, you could squeeze a bit more out of the budget. For example, you have a $330 1060 in your proposed build, but if you're willing to do a bit of waiting, there's usually a 1060 on Amazon for $280 (such as this Asus model right now.) If you're going for mini (maybe that case is small?), there's actually a Zotac mini 1060 for $250 right now. That would leave enough room for a 240 GB A-data SP550 SSD.

Your comparing his more expensive 1060 with cheaper versions. If you look for links comparing the same exact card you'll see his card retails for 280 (265 with rebate on newegg) and is massive in size. The cheapest I found used was 250 (amazon) so his 240 price isn't that bad really.
