Posted July 25, 2018 I have an Asus Dual GTX 1060 OC edition, specifically a 3GB model which I paid £200 for. It's also a nice frosty white. It's passive until the GPU reaches 50°C, from there it will activate the fans based on the temperature, easy. I've never seen my GTX 1060 go over 60°C, and I ran things like Overwatch, CSGO, Rocket League, and Skyrim SE all on max settings. mechanical keyboard switches aficionado & hi-fi audio enthusiast switch reviews • how i lube mx-style keyboard switches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed my minds on a RX 570. Contacted a friend about it since he has it and says that a 1060 3GB blows it away in games. For example where a RX 570 would get 56 FPS, the 1060 would get like 60.

Also I cant really get a 1060 6GB unless it is under $260 They're within 5% of each other, you buy the RX 570 mostly for the free-sync savings, as you won't get a G-sync monitor at a decent price, and should you do 1440p gaming at some point the 3GBs of VRAM may hold you back. Or just get an RX 580 if you're buying a 1060 6GB and the price is about the same. I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
