Best 1060 3GB

[AirSocial]

I am looking for the best 1060 3GB or 6GB. It HAS! to be $260 or less and I would LOVE if it had RGB/ White/ or Blue lighting. Thanks!

This is the only one I found so far. Is it a good one?

I used this one for a while, did surprisingly well for how generic it seems. Hope the red lights don't clash with your rig.

Best buy, and Amazon. Haven't really used Newegg but If i found one I really liked I would buy it

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.

Weren't you getting a cheap RX 570?

 

Don't bother with the 3GB 1060, you want a dual fan 1060 6GB or RX 570/580 instead.

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

I was actually looking at that card to. Its definitely one of the top three that I would get.

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.

that's tiny, only 7% slower? Price difference can be larger than that, say 10%.

RX 580 8GB for $250. Win.
