I have been looking at GPU's for a while and finally decided on the Nvidia 1060 series due to its performance vs price ration. The 1050 is a great card but the performance difference is huge while the price difference was moderate. The 1070 is an excellent card but it would end up costing more than my entire computer. Most of the Nvdia 1060 GPUs are roughly the same regardless of the maker. The main difference is the fans/cooling, the appearance, and the ports. This gigabyte offers dual fans that supposedly offer more cooling due to the fan design. I am not sure if its true but the temps have been fairly consistent and the fan is very quiet. Keep in mind that with minimal to moderate use the fans do not come on at all (unlike GPUs of the past) once you reach a certain degree of use the fans will ramp up as needed. Also worth noting is that this generation of Nvida cards have "auto overclocking" which means they can adjust their frequency depending on how you are using it. This has worked out very well so far with the card humming with light apps at less than 400mhz and then going to full clock with heavy games. The temperatures are reasonable (about 66 degrees at full load) and the performance has been spotless with my Core i5 setup.The only real downside to this is that it comes with no accessories. Back in the day I recall GPUs coming with connectors adapters to allow you to use different types of monitors. This GPU has 1 HDMI, 1 DVI, and 3 display Ports. I would have much rather had more HDMI or DVI output or this could have come with adapters to allow you to switch but unfortunately I had to purchase the adapters myself.As long as you are ok with the ports then you won't be disappointed with the card.

For the: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6GB G1 Gaming Boost Clock 1847 MHzI stressed a lot about which GPU to get for my recent build, after 3 months I am very pleased with the performance of this one. I get a stable 60fps on very high or ultra settings on everything I've played so far except the Witcher 3 on ultra dips down to 54 off and on but stays right at 60 on high, and that is limited by my 60hz monitor and capped by v-sync.The hottest it's gotten is 65c after about 8 hours of gaming.Hardly makes any noise at all, even under load. Unless you have your side panel off and your ear next to it you won't hear it.In my opinion if you are running things at 1080p on a 60hz monitor, this is the nicest card I would buy. If I had had another 800 dollars to toss away on top of the 1600 I spent on my build I would have upped the GPU to a GTX 1080ti and bought 144hz monitor.As a daily but casual gamer who largely enjoys games for being a visual spectacle, I am happy with this card. So far I have played Dying Light, The Evil Within 2, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Dishonored 2, and am just starting the Witcher 3 and they all run buttery smooth. I'm sure side by side with a top tier build you would see a substantial gain, but you get what you pay for, and this is a good bang for your buck.Highly recommend.NOTE: Here are a few in-game screen shots which are actually a bit blurry for some reason. The games all look crystal clear while playing.
