I'm interested in buying an GTX 1060 and found a good offer yesterday, but noticed that it was listed as a miner card, alongside a heavily reduced warranty period of 3 months, compared to the 3 years on nearly all other gaming intended cards. Also, after speaking to an official, the card does have all needed video ports on the back.
My question is such:
-Are there any other major differences between miner and gaming cards (from the same manufacturer and model)?
-And would you buy a card that had only 1/10 its intended warranty if you wouldnt overclock it, put it under heavy load, and the market in your area wasnt well developed?
A comparison between two such cards, note that one is overclocked - http://www.gigabyte.us/Comparison/Result/3?pids=6089,6396
