GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 ti question marks ??

[hamada.lovex3]

OK guys, i got myself a new gaming PC right now, here you're its specifications:

Cooler Master MB511 mid-tower case.
core i5 8400
GIGABYTE B360 AORUS Gaming 3
WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM
BitFenix Formula 750w 80+ Gold PSU
RAM 16GB (2x8GB)
Samsung S24D330H LED Monitor

Now only i have to get a GPU for this build: first of all it depends on my budget between GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 ti (if my budget allowed for it), right now i have multiple questions regarding the best model:

(1) MSI GTX 1060 6GB vs GIGABYTE AORUS GTX 1060 6GB, what is the difference between them and which is the best? I'm considering the best performance with gaming and of course some other stuff like low temperature and less noise.

(2) MSI GTX 1070 ti Gaming vs Titanium vs Armor
Well, all i know till this moment is that Gaming one is the same as Titanium, only difference with colors and led in Titanium one but they are same performance and also almost same price in my country so decision will be based on the cheapest one, unfortunately i didn't find anything regarding Armor one so here i wanna some help to specify the best one and differences too.

Considerations: best performance, less temperatures, less noise.

Sorry for long thread.

Thanks

Normally comparing same model of GPU has very limited changes in performance. The difference is the options it comes with. For example the MSI version normally comes stock overclocked from factory with very limited RGB lighting options. The Gigabyte normally has 3 fans instead of 2. (although that does not mean any better then MSI's fan setup).

It really just comes down to options. Get the one you feel has the options you like best. The performance is basically the same when comparing brand vs brand in the same model GPU.

If budget allows I'd just go for the MSI 1070TI. I personally love MSI and just upgraded from a MSI 1070 to an MSI 1080ti. Both GPUs are beast.

So here the difference between GTX 1060 GIGABYTE AORUS and MSI is only the number of fans, 3 for AORUS and 2 for MSI but they are both same performance, well thanks for that info regarding the 1060.

Now sorry what about 1070 ti, you just said go with MSI 1070 ti but i just mentioned 3 models: Gaming vs Armor vs Titanium, all i know till this moment is that Gaming and Titanium is the same, difference only in colors maybe, what about armor one ?? what is the difference between armor and the other two ?

Same applies to the 1070 ti. You are just going for whatever brand has the options you like.

You can try looking around in google for a option comparison or try looking through the links below.

I personally havnt looked into the Armor vs Titanium so can't really tell you options differences. But I know MSI will come out of factory with a good overclock. And it's cooling is great. On my MSI 1080ti I never go above 70c, even under full load for hours at a time.

Well, i think i made my decision right now:

It seems that MSI GTX 1070 ti Gaming and Titanium are the best GPUs and has the same performance and specs in everything except only for colors, as i mentioned above. About armor it seems that it has bad cooling. My decision now is going with whatever is cheapest between Gaming and Titanium.

If my budget will not allow for 1070 ti, i think i will go with MSI GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X, simply because GIGABYTE one looks more noisy than MSI and it also seems that MSI is less temperature, about performance they are both the same, so based on my considerations i want (nice performance, less temperature, less noise) i will go with MSI

Thanks bro for your help, really that was so informative to me.

Yeah good choice. Like I said, i have MSI and will totally back it. It's a great card with good performance and cooling.

The Armor has a significantly worse cooler than the Gaming and Titanium.
