ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-Fan OC Edition VR Ready Dual HDMI DP 1.4 Gaming Graphics Card (DUAL-GTX1060-O6G)

Background: I am a CS student who was taking a neural networking/deep learning class. At the time, I had a GTX 465 with unlocked cores (effectively a 470 just without the name on the GPU). The code I was running was for a convolutional neural network training on an image dataset. Because of this, my computer couldn't handle it and I needed to utilize my GPU for calculations via Nvidia CUDA & TensorFlow. Unfortunately, my GTX 465 wasn't compatible enough (2.0 compatibility), so I had to upgrade. That's when I decided to go for the GTX 1060 because of its compatibility with CUDA (6.0) and its performance capabilities (1080p60 @ max or near max settings for vast majority of games) for such a relatively low cost for a GPU from the newest GeForce line. In other words, it seemed to be exactly what I needed for the class and for general use moving forward after the class. Needless to say, Nvidia has outdone itself with this new line of cards. This card far surpassed my expectations, and it's just higher-tier low-tier GPU of the line ("2nd worst" after the 1050 Ti, not including its 3GB counterpart). Included with the card was a 1-year subscription to XGamecaster and ASUS' own overclocking software. The CNN training on the Cifar-10 dataset ran 100k iterations with provided TensorFlow code in about an hour (bottlenecked by print statements every 10 iterations). Keep in mind, this card is meant for gaming and not AI-related use (that's for the $2000+ Tesla line), which is why I was pleasantly surprised at how fast its computations were. Now onto gaming performance. One thing to note: the overclocking software has three presets: silent mode, gaming mode, and OC mode. Each of these settings allow for the fan to be completely off or on an automatic setting. Its default is gaming. Additionally, you are able to create your own profile and adjust the clock boost, GPU voltage, fan speed, power target, VRAM speed, target temperature, and target FPS. On gaming mode, it was able to run GTA V at near-max settings @ 1080p60 without going over 60 C with the fan on. There was a bit of lag every now and then, which is fair. On OC mode, I am able to do the same thing but with no lag at all. On both settings, the framerate sometimes drops to ~55 and back up again in a split second. it's not noticeable to me on my 60hz monitor, but it may be to some. By messing with the settings, I was able to get the clock boost up to 2025 mhz before any real minor or major performance issues. To do this, I set the boost to +85 and the power target/target temperature to 100%/83 C. Then I set the fan speed to 55% and the target FPS to 60 FPS. The boost is able to go past +85 but keep in mind the boost is bottlenecked by how much power the GPU is given (I didn't want to mess with the GPU voltage for fear of messing something up). With these settings, I was able to record with Nvidia Shadowplay and maintain 1080p60 with no issues at all. GTA V runs extremely smoothly, maxing out at 63C when heavy rain occurs in the game. Otherwise, it rather ever gets to 55C. Keep in mind, however, that the GPU temp also largely depends on your computer's airflow/cooling set up. The fan isn't noticeable to me, and I never end up in a room that feels like Texas. The BEST part, however, is the fact that this card is SO efficient, I ended up using less power overall than with my GTX 465. With my GTX 465, I couldn't overclock my CPU past 4.2GHz due to power restrictions. With this GTX 1060 card, I was able to overclock the CPU to 4.5GHz. I can possibly overclock it even more, but I'm fine at 4.5GHz. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase. For ~$250, I received a 1080p60-capable card that I can also use for deep learning (to an extent in practicality). For reference, here are my computer specs: i5-2500K @ 4.5GHZ MSI P67A-G45 B3 Motherboard 8GB RAM @ 1600mhz GTX 1060 6GB 250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD 2 TB WD HDD

Keeping it simple, this GPU is great for 1080p gaming :). I recently bought a 144hz monitor soon to use it with this card, it's the msi optix mag24c btw it is adaptive/freesync , and it is g-sync compatible and it works like a charm. Note that in Fortnite I cap the FPS to 240fps and anytime there is a studder ( where I get less than 60FPS in a split second ) the monitor flickers a bit but it is not a deal breaker for me since most of the times the game runs from 120fps-240fps by turning all off/low except viewing distance which is set to High/Epic. I mainly play fortnite , all settings low and viewing distance High for competitive settings, fps hover depending on where you are on the map but generally it is always on top of 100fps , hovers from 180-240 ( Capped 240 ) when inside buildings generally and when outside 100-240max and at times it drops to 50 or 60 in a very short split seccond ( studder ) , The FPS amount may vary depending on what part of the map you are looking to , let's say a lot of buildings, or on an open area etc. Great card! If I were you right now though ( looking for a card ) I would suggest buying the 1660TI, same value, much better performance, I bought this on november 2018 so there was no such thing as a 1660ti back then otherwise, I would have prob gotten the 1660TI, get the MSI at 300$ on amazon! With other game i've played, no issue, gameplay is smooth and generally over 60FPS, games I've tried are city of brass , Rime , dauntless as well and they all look beautiful :) . if you found this review helpful, hit that "Helpful" button :) If you like fortnite, I used to upload vids on this channel : "Zealous Pumpkin", on these vids my game was capped at 120FPS.

I bought this 5 yrs ago and have received so much value from this card. It was great as the GPU in my main machine all the way up until I upgraded earlier this year. Presently I am continuing to get great value from this card by using it in a virtual pinball cabinet I built with the screen output. My notes: It easily is the best-looking graphics card I've ever owned. If you enjoy lighting effects this card and its white case absorb and reflect light nicely in your case. It isn't RGBA, but still looks good. - You can overclock the heck out of it before it becomes unstable - Sturdy card. While moving it to another machine I elbowed off the bench and it took a very hard fall on the concrete in the garage. Figured I killed it. Wasn't pretty. Yet, other than having to re-attach the fans, the thing booted right up like no big deal. I suspect I can get many more years of service from this card passing it down to other machines as needed. I have thoroughly enjoyed this card and have received my money's worth for sure.

Hallo zusammen, ich habe die Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC 6GB bestellt. Zunächst es handelt sich um die ab Werk übertaktete Version. Standard ist Sie aber im Basis Takt unterwegs, wenn Ihr in den OC Modus möchtet benötigt Ihr die Software "ASUS GPU Tweak II", damit könnt Ihr dann in den Gamingmodus schalten und die höhere Taktung nutzen oder individuell anpassen. Was mir bei der Karte besonderns gut gefällt ist die Kühlleistung. Auch unter Last ist die Geräuschkulisse erträglich. Im Gegensatz zu meiner älteren PowerColor Radeon HD6870 1GB GDDR5 PCS+, ist die Karte dank der zwei Lüfter wesentlich leiser.

Good product would recommend

Tarjeta muy sólida, poco ruidosa y con un rendimiento muy aceptable. Yo la he dado caña jugando a Doom Eternal y sin problemas.

まず注意点。 写真によっては2スロット占有のビデオカードに見えますが 実際は2.1スロットであり、3スロット使う可能性が高いです。 ですが、ケースから何からデザインを重視しているのか 細かいところまでセンスを感じる商品になっております。 セミファンレスと言われるビデオカードとは違い 常時ファンは回っていますが モニターのすぐ横にパソコンを置いている方以外は ほとんど音を感じないほど静かです。 ケースファンを利用している方は ケースファンのほうがうるさいと思うくらいでしょう。 ※必要な時はそれなりの音が出ますが。 コイル鳴きもほとんどなく 常時回転ファンというデメリットを意識して 「静音」へのこだわりはしっかり感じます。 10シリーズ入門には余りある素晴らしい商品です。

Si como yo has estado armando tu computadora poco a poco te alegrara saber que los precios ya se están estabilizando para estas tarjetas, la espera valió la pena y aun que el vega 11 dio una muy buena batalla para su precio no hay comparación con una dedicada, es una muy grata sensación comprar juegos nuevos y que de inmediato se auto configuren en ultra, la verdad es que la espera valió la pena. Bastante silenciosa y cuando es necesario los ventiladores son potentes como pocos, la verdad es que no tengo queja, lo mejor para jugar en 1080p. Para mis compañeros que apenas están armando una computadora no le teman a las apus, gracias a AMD estas son una muy buena opción para comenzar, lo genial de las computadoras es lo fácil que es añadir o actualizar partes, así que no tienes que gastar tanto dinero de un tirón, la paciencia es tu mejor aliada, no desesperes y Compres a crédito algo que un unos días mas pudiste encontrar mucho menor precio.
