me too using a zotac 660 since 3 years.. no major issues till now.. :touch wood:

I'm surprised that it can still play witcher 3 in medium preset @ 1080p and give 30fps..

Also BF3/4 give 50-100 fps on medium..

1060 seems to be amazing card.

 

 

 

The GTX 1060 continues to kick butt in this demanding synthetic test at 1440p. It’s a whopping 23 percent faster than the RX 480 and 5 percent faster than the GTX 980.

 

The GTX 1060 is a great card for 1080p gaming and will be able to max out the most graphically demanding games with playable framerates.

 

 

 

 

Overall, the GTX 1060 is a great card for 1080p gaming, offers excellent VR performance for the price, overclocks well, runs cool, and is super-quiet. The one major knock is the lack of SLI support, but beyond that, I’d highly recommend the GeForce GTX 1060 to most PC gamers.

 

No SLI support seems odd.

time to save up some money for this card, How much can I expect from my MSI GTX 660?

[ALPHA17]

No SLI support seems odd.

 

Why?

 

They are probably saving a decent chunk of silicon and giving you a cheaper product because it does not need to support this feature.

How much can I expect from my MSI GTX 660?

 

Five to seven thousand, not more than that.

1060 wow

 

 

 

Amp edition mein kuch khaaas hai?

 

Overclocked out of the box, You'll see a gain 5% gain in fps over stock card.

[WhiteWolf]

What about cooling and power consumption?

 

And warranty? Zotac offers 3 or 5 years warranty.?

Or you can also get the Zotac single fan card for 23k.I don't know why you would need a big sized card when smaller one is cheaper and you can easily overclock it to AMP! speeds.Plus its 2k cheaper.

Now AMD better again cut prices of RX480 to 22k for 8gb and 19k for 4gb.If not then Requiescant in pace AMD.I think that Bruce Lee gif should now be changed to GTX1060 kicking R9 380,380X,390,390X,Fury,Fury X and RX480.Someone please do it.

Smaller one has worse thermals. Amp edition itself goes up to 78 C on load. Smaller one will be much noisier and heat up even more. Everyone should avoid it unless your case doesn't fit bigger card.

I would have got MSI one, much better card. But 140mm width means I have to remove my GPU case fan. Not going to do that. So went with Zotac version even though it's inferior.
