Hey guys im about to build a gaming PC so i was thinking about GeForce GTX 1060 6gb and i see there are more version of it!

so i was thinking about one of these:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 "Windforce OC"
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 "GAMING G1"
ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 "DUAL OC"
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 “G1 Rock”

So difference is about price what about speed and those thinks? is it ok to get cheper one or should i get more expensive one (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 "Windforce OC"
Or Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 "GAMING G1")?

There will be no visual difference in performance. If you benchmark it against a more expensive card, there might be a difference in the score, but you will not be able to see 1 or 2 fps difference. Buy the cheaper card and have fun.

It depends on what you are doing. They are pretty much the same at the end of the day. Some offer higher boost clocks, some offers to be more quiet. But if you are planning on overclocking, you will have to sacrifice noise..unless you are using a waterblock..which I don't recommend. So my recommendation would be to get the one with the highest boost clock at the cheapest price.

Also bare in mind the size. You want to make sure it can fit your case.

Honestly, go with the cheaper ones. Just make sure it has a decent heatsink/cooler. No need to buy an overclocked version when they all come with overclocking software that will do it automatically for you. All the overclocked ones do is guarantee it. whereas the base model you are playing the lottery with how much your particular card will overclock.

Bottom line, save the money.

The GPU for each are identical. The only difference is the cooling provided. Cooling is important because when a video card hits its thermal limit, it begins to thermal throttle, or slow down. When a card slows down, your performance goes down and frame rates drop. The downfall to a card with beefy cooling solutions tends to be noise. The more fans blowing harder make more noise than a liquid cooled card would. For this card, liquid cooled is not an option. I would avoid the blower style cards that move the air out of the case. They only have one turbine on the card and it requires it to be set fairly high to perform.

These cards will also come with different clock speeds, which are not important if you plan on overclocking. The factory overclocks the card to a certain clock speed, but you can do this yourself in about a half hour, so I would not look so much into clock speed.

I would buy the cheapest, non blower style card of the 1060 6gb and overclock it my self and you will have the same performance as any other overclocked air cooled card.

Just because they all come with overclocking software in no way means that they are all capable of the same overclocks. Just like anything else, the level of your OC will depend upon the quality of the hardware used ... and just because they have the same GPU, they certainly don't have the same VRMs and VRM cooling, both of which have a significant impact on the OC.

You GPU OC is limited by temps of the GPU ...we see this on the 1070 and up reference cards ... they all throttle. If we look at the original EVGA SC 1060 - 1080s, EVGA cheaped out and didn't install thermal pads on the VRM and as a result, the VRMs were overheating. In some cases they fried and EVGA came up with a BIOS fix and a thermal pad kit as a fix.

While in previous generations, these differences could be quite large, with the 10xx series however, the differences that we used to see are limited by Boost 3 ... Regardless of the components used, Boost 3 is stepping in and, to an extent, is gimping the performance that would otherwise be available with the improved components. It doesn't make the differences wholly disappear, but they will be less than we saw in previous generations.

In addition, cards with better componentry and better VRM / memory cooling will run cooler and thereby the fans won't need to spin as fast thereby creating less noise. Finally, some manufacturers will use hand picked and "binned' GPUs for their higher end lines. Now, all this being said, we still have the silicon lottery to deal with. outside of 'binned' GPU situations, it is entirely possible that you could pick a lower tiered card that overclocks better than a higher tiered card. In addition, **sometimes**, the different tiered use the exact same PCB and the exact same chip cooling methods. The difference in model price then comes from "extras" like dual BIOS, LEDs the addition of 1 click OC "modes", etc

So if i buy cheap one (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 “G1 Rock”) means that there is no difference between all GPUs i posted only that Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 “G1 Rock” dont have that strong cooling sistem right?

Well right now the GPU market is in a over-price frenzy due to the mining craze. If you spending more than 275-300 right now, you are over paying. If you can, you can wait until Vega releases. This will hopefully drive the mid-tier cards down and offer it to be more affordable.

Oh ok so im staing with GeForce GTX 1060 so if i buy cheaper one (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 “G1 Rock”) is better because i save € and in completely no difference between expensive one only that cheap one doesnt have that good Cooling sistem right?
