Can someone tell me the pros and cons to this GPU and compare it to a 1050ti dual fan

pro: much faster than a 1050ti
con: single fan

I prefer a dual fan solution if you can find one. less likely a single fan error will kill the card should it fail, there will be another to limp on with.
if you are diligent in cleaning and maintenance not really an issue. the single fan is the weakspot on any card

Note that the 3GB version of the 1060 also has 10% of its cores disabled, so it should get around 10% less performance than the full 6GB version.

Also worth considering, you should be able to find a current-generation 1660 or 1660 SUPER for close to the same price as a 1060 6GB, and those cards should be notably faster.

A 1660 can be over 30% faster than a 1060 3GB, and a 1660 SUPER more than 40% faster than a 1060 3GB, so you should consider those if the pricing isn't too much more. It might be worth paying 20% more for a card that gets 30-40% more performance...

Another card worth considering at a lower price point is the 1650 SUPER. This card just launched, and might not be as widely available quite yet, but generally offers a bit better performance than the 1060 6GB, or at least around 15% more performance than the 3GB version, at about the same price or a bit lower compared to that card. Just don't mix it up with the non-SUPER 1650, which is a bit weaker than a 1060 3GB...
