GPU Change ... What’s Better ??

[ekyaj]

Basically short story ordered a custom built PC with a EVGA 6GB 1060 SC but they’ve now emailed me the day there sending it out to me saying they’ve replaced the SC with a gigabyte windforce ... is this a decent replacement or ? I know it’s got a backplate 1 more fan than the SC but I know it has 2 less display ports .. can anyone shed some light

Performance wise there won't be much difference at all. They are both going to perform just about the same. Stock is running out on these generation old parts, so that is probably the reason for the switch. From a cooling standpoint, I think the Windforce is actually better, which might give you SLIGHTLY better performance (1%-2% maybe, if even). Everything else should be identical, with the exception of display outputs, but as long as you have the display output you need that won't be a problem.
