2 differtn but identical cards

[GermanPCBuilder]

Is the Gainward GTX 1060 6GB the same card as the Palit GTX 1060 Dual 6Gb ? The Palit version is currently not available here in Germany and I will be ordering parts in 3 days so I think I might go with the gainward 1060 , I want to know if the cards have a good cooler and if they are identical

Well they aren't identical as they are different brands and are almost guaranteed to have different PCB's but they have the same GPU.

But they look pretty much the same

Just because they look the same doesn't mean they are.

They maybe slightly different as the fans are definitely a different design.

it's a reference PCB with a dual fan cooler or a 120W TDP card

both brands are well established, so who cares of the slight differences

So it doesn't matter which one I buy? If so I will take the gainward one

Did you even try to research that? No the Gainward is not a reference PCB. I can't find anything on the Palit card other than it having a smaller cooler.

I'd say go gainward.
