Nope, since what's written on the box has no bearing on what you'll actually get, and you can easily adjust it yourself.

 

That said, why are you looking at a 1060 when you have a 1050Ti?

No, you can achieve the same performance and levels with overclocking the cards manually. Its only worth it if you want that extra 1-2 fps at most and you wont be overclocking your card manually.

NO, the only thing worth paying more for on a Pascal GPU is build quality and cooling capacity, once you have good enough cooling they are pretty much all equal in what GPU Boost will boost them to.

Might want to rephrase that, you make it sound like 1060 and 1080ti will perform the same

Because a 6gb 1060 is over 50% faster than a 4gb 1050 ti? In some games it can be as much as 65% faster, usually is around 50-55%. It also has 2gb more vram, even though 4gb is enough for 98% of games at 1080p, 6gb allows him to play the other 2% maxed out, like mirror's edge catalyst at hyper settings for example. He might be slightly cpu bottlenecked in some games at 1080p though

Moving from a 1050Ti to a 1060 when new GPUs are about to launch in 1-2 months and the system in question has a Pentium and 8GB of RAM is pretty fucking stupid.

8GB ram is sufficient for gaming, the cpu won't be too much of a bottleneck to a 1060, gamersnexus specifically tested that - https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2913-when-does-the-intel-pentium-g4560-bottleneck-gpu

 

Rumors are just that, rumors. They may be true or they may not. I've been waiting for a gpu ever since august of last year, since there were rumors of the 1100/2000 series being released in Q4 2017, meaning between october and december, so I decided to wait a few months. Then there were rumors of sk hynix producing gddr6 memory for nvidia and that they were coming early 2018, meaning between january and march. At that point if I could go back in time to august and buy a gpu I would have done so, but since at that point I was, again, only a few months away from the rumored release, I decided to wait again, just like I did in august waiting for late 2017. After gtc 2018, when nvidia didn't mention anything about the 1100/2000 series, and new rumors came saying nvidia might release the gpus as soon as early july, AGAIN a few (3) months away, I was like FUCK this shit and I finally decided to buy a gpu last week. I've never been happier, my advice to OP is to not listen to rumors, buy now and enjoy. And besides, it's not like you can't sell the gpu right before the release to get (most of) your money back
