Which gtx 1060?

[DC]

For the same price, I can either buy EVGA Supercolocked 1060 or zotac amp edition 1060. Both are 6gb gddr5. Which one should I get? or these two are similar?

The superclocked is well present on youtube, maybe you can check performance there. 

 

I personnally use a G1 Gaming from Gigabyte and it's just perfect for 1080p at extremly high settings. 

 

Anyhow, you can't go wrong with this card, so don't worry too much about it. 

 

Good luck

i personally prefer evga, but it think both have about the same performance. i belive the zotac card has better overclocking support

EVGA should Boost a bit higher. The Cooler is fine.

 

However, the Bios is pretty aggressive towards power current and Boost clock.

VRMs, VRAMs and PWM Controler are NOT cooled at all, and get pretty damn hot. VRMs even get almost 120°C hot, which is 10°C above their specification.

 

Zotac AMP! has a Custom PCB with 5 VRMs (instead the stock 3+1), and they are Cooled with passive coolers on them. Also, VRam chips are also cooled (Cooling plate is on them).

 

So i would prefer Zotac.

 

Also, out of the box, the Zotac should be a bit more quiet. 1.0 Sone loudness at 74°C, while the EVGA SC gets 2.5 Sone with 68°C (old Bios. Newer one should hit 75-77°C, at a lower Noise.

honestly i prefer niether, if i had to choose though, probably zotac.

I would rather go with the MSI GTX 1060 gaming x, it runs quiet and can boost up to around 1800 mHz if you need it, also it is around the same price and runs super quiet,

I have the msi gaming X

That's THE best 1060 on the market, by far. I couldn't hear it, even at 30°C room temperature, and didn't see 70°C set.

 

Mine boosts up to 1936 out of the box, and 1962 in MSI App's "OC Mode".
