The wait is over... Got the card, tested it, and I'm happy to report that the experiment was a complete success! More details can be found on my reply to my other thread, here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3145678/upgrading-good-gaming.html#18530202 The MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6 GB...

OK guys, I've got some really good news... I got the MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6 GB graphics card this morning. The card itself looks absolutely stunning. MSI have done a great job in the aesthetics department. They have paid great attention to detail and kudos to them for it. The card is like a...

Took the plunge and ordered an MSI GTX 1060 6 GB. This one: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1060-GAMING-X-6G.html I know it's overkill, but should still have juice to give me when I eventually decide to upgrade the rest of my PC. Now, the big Q: will it work with my old mobo...
