MSI is like 8% cheaper.Which one is the better card.Never had MSI before

 

[Herc08]

I mean they would both get the job done. But how is MSI cheaper?

I would go with the ASUS as they have the better repuatation. Not to mention they pretty much have the same specs. Also you get a friend game with ASUS.

Get the MSI version, it's cheaper and overall has a slightly better effective memory clock speed. Besides it would be cooler running card compared to the Asus.

Am I blind? MSI is 294.67 while ASUS is 267 (255 after rebate)

They also giving a mouse and keyboard for free with that Dragon thing on it with Gtx 1060 MSI.Asus one is only card and more expensive.Kinda confused cause they are being too good with it I wonder maybe the card has some problems?

Ah, didn't know what country you were in. I have that exact mouse, excpet the dragon is facing the left.

Go with the MSI and it should be able to handle 1080p with no issues.

 

[Chris22222]

Btw how good are MSI cards?Been using Asus since a long time ago but reviews In that links mention more problems with Asus than MSI.
To be honest never used MSI so have doubts.If you have some information please share

It really depends on the cooling performance since their core and memory clocks are pretty much the same. I'm not sure about the Asus Dual card in terms of cooling but I know that the Twin Frozr cooler in the MSI is highly regarded to be excellent. You'll have to just look at some reviews and benchmarks for both. Pay attention to the acoustics too if you're into a silent pc.

Or you could just go with whatever looks pretty because the performance difference is likely little to none.

Wow! Some users writes ridiculous things. And find some no-name sites like newegg

MSI can't be cheaper than Asus. It's more expensive

Those cards on my country web sites costs:
Asus DUAL-GTX1060-O6G - 255$
MSI GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G - 300$
