Confused with graphics card

[Shakib Rishad]

Can you guys please suggest which 1060 6gb graphics will be good for my gaming pc. Im getting confused with the 3fans or 2fans. Or the Strix or the mini edition or the AMD edition. Can you tell me the exact definition and which one to buy

The more fans -> the bigger card -> the better cooling -> the more overclocked card by manufacturer usually -> the more expensive.
Sometimes more fans are useless, for example in 75W cards like 1050/1050ti, that produce little amount of heat.

yup, they make a bunch of them and we would be here all day explaining that

single fan is good if your case is pressed for space cause its a ''shorty card ''

if me I prefer EVGA and this ftw is on a good sale

my 2ed choice would be there ssc+ 6gb

like they say ''those who know NVidia know evga '' it its all personal preferences and user opinion on whats best

'' the more fans the better cooling '' not true at all

The MSI Gaming series is solid. I had one before, would never go above 65 degrees celsius and it's overclocking abilities are great.

In theory, more fans are quieter since the fans don't have to work so hard to keep the card cool, while one fan has to do all the work and therefore might be noisier. The model differences are mostly in clock speeds and extras, like RGB lighting and generally better components. Some people just want a basic card, others want the fastest possible clock speeds and all the upgrades a card can have. In the end though, a 1060 is a 1060. So don't worry that there's only one 1060 worth getting and all the others are a waste of money.
