I am planning on getting the 1060 6GB to upgrade from my current 7850. I am stuck between choosing the
Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1060 WF2 6GB - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01K7I7M00
ASUS TURBO-GTX1060-6G - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01IPFMVCQ/

Both are floating around the £240 mark on amazon, is there any significant difference between them, or should I just go for whichever is cheapest when I order?

Also I notice the Asus only has 1 fan, will this work in my ATX Mid tower case?

Both will do the work, but in this case i would go for Gigabyte one ONLY for the cooler and your case in particular.

The asus one will try to flow the aire outside the output connectors, while the Gigabyte one will try to flow the air outside the card (keeping it in the case) and there is where the additional fans will do their job taking off that 'hot' air out the case.


I have a Zalman Z9 Plus, I've added two 120mm fans to it.
