So I've been thinking about upgrading my graphic card to GTX 1060, and I want to ask does brand really make much difference? In my country the price gap between the zotac GTX 1060 AMP! and gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming is pretty much wide from $346.67 to $457.07, I noticed that the two has different core clock and boost clock, but will it really affect the framerate much?

There is no difference between brands, just build quality, hardware used etc and other obvious differences. 

And obviously how hard the people worked to make the product.

My PC Currently Is The P2-1320a.

Most 1060s will overclock to the same amount so choose the brand you like. Being honest i would get the zotac over the gigabyte if they were the same price due to its 5 year warranty

My Setup :P

Zotac has emerged as a pretty good brand over the past years. You cant go wrong with them.

okay then, but what make zotac really cheap compared to others?

Nothing really, its likely more with stuff like import taxes etc for your country than the brand itself.
