Hi,
I am planning to buy a new graphics card (1060 in particular) for 1080P Gaming. Confused which one should I buy. Below is the list (All are 6GB variants | Price in Indian rupees | Yes it sucks - too costly here).

  • Zotac Mini Single fan- 21300 ($319)
    MSI OC V1 - 22890 ($343)
    EVGA Super clocked Single fan - 24099 ($362)
    Zotac AMP - 24300 ($365)
    MSI ARMOR - 24399 ($366)
    Gigabyte G1 Gaming - 26100 ($392)
    MSI Gaming X - 26100 ($392)
    Rog Strix - 28450 ($427)
I will go with the minimum priced one if it keeps the cool & provides a little more space for overclocking.
Ambient: 25 Min, 45 Max.

XML:
My System:
CPU: i7 6700K | RAM: Ripjaw V 16 GB 2400Mhz | SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB | MOBO: Asus Z170 pro gaming | Cooler: Cooler master 212 X | Case: NZXT S340 | PSU: Corsair RM650x | HDD: 750 GB WD Black 2.5' (from Alienware M14xr1) | 
Case Cooling: 
Front: 2 NZXT intake (included with case)
Top: 1 Exhaust Deepcool XFAN 120
Back: None
Later I will put a 140 mm case fan as top exhaust and XFAN 120 as back exhaust.

 


Hi, Thanks, What about GEFORCE® GTX 1060 ARMOR 6G OC since it is only $1 more than the Zotac amp and comes with a 8pin power connector. Will extra power help the GPU to achieve higher overclock or the architecture of the GPU itself will limit it.
 


Hey, Just found - I can get Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB GDDR5 Graphic Card for INR 24750 ($371).
and Zotac for 23455 ($352) from TheITDepot. (MSI Gaming X - INR 25437 ($382))
I am thinking to buy Gigabyte since it has this ugly back-plate and higher (OC Mode) overclock (Is it worth paying extra $19?)
Will check if I can get any better price than this.
