most of the time there's really no big performance difference in-between versions. just maybe around ±10% in real-world gaming performance.

that one is cheap as it probably has MSI's most basic cooling option. thermals and noise may not be as good (or as tolerable) than the other versions

 

I'm actually amazed that the miners haven't ran that version out of stock as they generally don't care much about thermals and noise ahaha

I'm shopping around for a 1060 6GB as an upgrade... found this card to be weirdly cheap. Am I correct in saying there shouldn't be much performance difference between the various "Versions" of 1060?

 

Some options I found:

 

GTX 1060 ARMOR 6G OCV1: R5173.32 ($441.44)

GTX 1060 GAMING 6G: R4819.92 ($411.28)

GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G: R5458.32 ($465.76)

Then the card in question...

GTX 1060 6GT OC: R4352.52 ($371.40)

 

Is there any real reason I shouldn't just go for the cheapest option?

Thanks

the currently best tested one from MSI is the GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G: R5458.32 ($465.76).

 

This foes from the points of view in performance and silence.

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

For that money you would be better off with used gtx 980 ti

I bought the Gaming X 6gb for $369, then got $36 off from the price rewind feature on my credit card. This was before the price sky rocketed to $596. I just checked and new egg has come back down on the price. They also have some Vegas for less than $1000 as well.
