Help to find the right Graphic card

[Sander SCH]

ok so need help to find the best graphic card (today if possible). i will list the items and i hope to find the best one:¨

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Dual Fans OC HDMI DP 6GB
Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC 2xHDMI 2xDP 6GB
Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Strix Gaming OC 2xHDMI 2xDP 6GB
Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Mini HDMI 3xDP 6GB

And will it all fit with this motherboard or do i need an another motherboard to use the graphic card? MSI H110M Gaming Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

All of them will fit in that MOBO, no worries about that.

From those listed, i'd stick with either ASUS or MSI, as the 'mini' version of the 1060 isn't good.

The ASUS Strix is one of the best 1060 you can find out there, if you have the extra cash for it it's totally worth, if you don't get that extra bucks, go with the MSI it'll be great nonetheless too!

The main difference between any third-party GPU is their Cooling System and Materials they are made with, the performance of all will nearly the same

ok so the asus strix is good but will it fi t in this case BCorsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case

You'll fit any of those in a 200r.
Ignoring the zotac mini (because it is the worst) I'd honestly pick the cheapest of the others if there's any significant price differences.
They are all going to perform pretty much the same.

All modern motherboards have a X16 pcie slot which is what you need.
You are OK there.

On the specific card, pay attention to the power required.
Most GTX1060 cards need a aux 6 pin pcie power connector.
That is typically delivered by a 450w psu.

In the case of the strix, which is highly overclocked, it needs a 8 pin connector which takes an additional 75w.

No doubt the prices will differ.
One way to estimate the performance is to look at the boost clock numbers.
The strix has a boost of 1873.
By comparison, the asus OC version has a boost of 1809. About a 3% difference in capability which only a synthetic benchmark can detect.

I might suggest a EVGA card if you live in the USA, their warranty, support, and forums are very good.

Yes, SuperNOVA G2 is a Tier 1 PSU, which is great, it has all the cable you'll need. Nice choice on that too!

Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Strix Gaming OC would this work and fitt good??

Yes, any modern GPU, MOBO and PSU will work/fit together properly.

The GTX 1070 and your SuperNOVA G2 included.


The 1070 is a jump from the 1060, if you play only in a 1080p monitor, there's no need to pay more to get a 1070 as the 1060 6GB will already do a great job on it.
With that said, if you wanna play further on in 1440p, then get the 1070 as it's a great option for that resolution.
