Ok for me it would be Gtx 1060 EVGA FTW Gaming Acx 3,0 but that would be purely my subjective opinion not from a preff side of things but the side that says its soo freaking cool 

I agree that ftw+ looks good, but I don't think it's worth to spend $60 more than sc for dual fans, and 30mhz faster clock.

For the 1000 series cards from Nvidia the performance is relying heavy on how good the cooler is. All cards turbo over the factory clockspeeds, so don't stare at out of box speeds.

Overall currently MSI, EVGA and Asus have very decent coolers. Gigabyte is a bit dissapointing this gen. For MSI go with the gaming models, EVGA with the ACX 3.0 and Asus the strix.

 

All perform very good, but if silent it is a factor for you go with MSI or EVGA over the Strix from Asus.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Wich GTX 1060 6gb version do you recommend

me personally i'm getting the MSI Armor OC but thats because of my black and white theme. Otherwise i think the strix coolers are just a bit overkill for a 1060. A goof duel fan card should do. Don't get an MSI gaming x when the regular gaming model is available because the only real difference is a small factory over clock.

Armor cooler is not as good as the gaming variant. Less performing while being considerable louder when compared. But not everyone cares about sound and thats all relative. it's no jet orso. A pro thing from the armor is the looks over the Gaming. Hate all that red these days.
