Which GTX 1060 (6GB) ?

[Soul Assassin]

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.

It's always been that way, you can't go wrong with any of the well known brands, the thing that makes the difference is the cooling solution they slap on that PCB.

I just looked at some pics of the galax vs zotac and the galax has a much better cooler.

2ND in line please? Will pay for postnet/aramex shipping.

Ok no problem.

Explain please ...

Explain please ...

Zotac cooler is more compact (less surface area) with only two heatpipes, galax cooler is larger (more surface area) with three heatpipes.
Galax also has beefier vrm heatsink.

I'm trying to decide between Galax, Asus, EVGA and Zotac (for a 1070).

You better order soon as it looks like most of the preorder stock is almost gone.

Waiting for the proceeds from the sale of my house, likely only early next week.

Damn man, you really had to sell your house to afford a new card.

 

[ponder]

Did you order the Galax?

Yip, there were only two left when I phoned so now there is maybe one.

Just said farewell to my 960, off to a new home in Richardsbay.

Same thing when i ordered my new card, both the AMD and NVIDIA cards seem to sell out in a couple of days.

Man you're going to love the new card, it's so much faster than a 2GB 960.

Woot woot, just got my invoice and tracking number.

Now the agonising wait begins

It's the worst

Got a raise, now I'm considering upgrading to a 1070 at some point in the next few months. Think I may be developing a problem

If the stars align I'm getting my card Friday then I have the weekend to play with it or Monday which is less than ideal.

It's called CUD.

Probably have to get a Vega card when they come out too then.

I'm hoping, no praying, that mine arrives Friday as well but I highly doubt it.
