If you know of any better deals please post here, hopefully pulling the trigger tomorrow. Not interested in mini-cards.

R4800 - Galax GeForce GTX 1060 EXOC 6GB
R4800 - Zotac ZT-P10600B-10M GeForce GTX 1060 AMP 6GB
R5000 - MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GT OC 6GB

Each line has two links, Price link to reseller & brand/,odel to manufacturers specifications page.

I'm leaning towards Galax again as I'm very happy with my current one (gtx 960 2gb) which will probably have a new home by tomorrow this time.

EVGA


Dont get the MSI, its kuk.
 
Bottom line, buy in the next week or two while lower import cost trickle in, before Zuma ****s up the economy - tonight's post election news about the Hawks and Gordon is a clear indicator that things are going to get bad in the next 12 months regarding the rand.

Zotac is a smaller card thus smaller cooler & also no backplate. I'm familiar with the Galax build quality which is really great.

Just take the extra warranty and 3x DisplayPort vs 1x DisplayPort into consideration. For me personally it would've been between Galax and Zotac, something about the single fan setup on the EVGA is off putting to me.

They run a bit hotter and if it's like the zotac mini the fan constantly spins, no silent operation.

I think I'm 90% certain I'm gonna go with the Galax and register it online for an additional years warranty like I did with my 960. Not concerned about the ports.

Of those three, Zotac, just based on the ports.
 
I can't find any reviews of the Galax, I know it's a good brand and have been around for ages, I wanted to check the noise and temps.

I think I judged the EVGA prematurely, even with a single fan it's seems to run really cool and the single fan makes it very quiet with the updated vBIOS.
 
I've been reading and watching reviews for several brands and models the past week or two. They are pretty much all the same imo.
