What's the deal with GTX 1060 Zotac AMP! Core edition?

[sakram07]

So i've bought this card a couple of days ago, i thought i was getting the Zotac AMP! Edition, but only when the card arrived i realize it's not an AMP Edition rather an AMP! Core Edition with the Core Edition written in smaller fonts so i didnt realize it when i was buying it online

I started searching on it on google, and the only result that came out is from the official zotac page describing the product. No review, no video, no discussion, no nothing. In fact this might be the first discussion about 1060 Core edition as far as i know.

Anyone else have this card? What's the difference between AMP and Core edition anyway? The price range and the spec seems to be the same
As for my opinion, im honestly dissapointed. Very poor OC, fan wont turn off when idle. The only redeeming quality is that it looks better than any other Zotac 1060 cards

P.S: sorry for the broken english

Core Edition is the lower end model.
It only comes with 3GB ram (Amp! has 6GB), 1152 Cuda Cores (128 Less then the regular Amp!), but slightly faster clock speed. And of course, it cost significantly less then the Amp! (Usually)

I would start checking prices of what you paid vs what the AMP! is selling for and if its worth it, return this Core.

No there's also a 3gb version of zotac AMP! Which has basically identical spec and price

And btw i just realized that the Core edition is only available in southeast asian region, that explain why there's almost no forum or reviews discussing it. But i still question Zotac business choice by releasing the core edition beside the regular AMP

Edit: here where i live it's priced around $260 (if converted to dollar) which is the about the same price range as 3gb AMP edition
