Reddit reviews ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition, ZT-P10600B-10M, 6GB GDDR5 VR Ready Super Compact Gaming Graphics Card

Truth is none of these have binned chips, therefore, as far as performance goes, it will all come down to sillicon lottery.

If you plan on overclocking manually, which I usually recommend you do, performance will not vary from one model to another.

However where it varies is in the noise and cooling department.

The gtx1060, being a rather efficient card to begin with, I would probably look at the cheapest solution to feature a decent dual fans cooler, such as the Windforce OC, or the zotac amp

I really do not believe spending the extra money to go for the brands you mentionned would be worth it.

The 1060 is almost always sub $250. Here's a 6GB model for $230.

$340 new on amazon

I have a MiniITX build in the Hadron Air.

AsRock H97 Mobo

Intel i7 - 4770K - stock speeds

Noctua NH-U9S with additional fan

Zotac GTX 1060 6GB

16GB of DDR3 RAM

Western Digital 1TB Black Edition

250 GB Samsung 850 EVO

--------------------------------------

MODIFICATIONS:
I removed the HDD cage (you have to drill out the rivets) because the HDD cage is massive, and takes up a lot of space. With the HDD cage removed I have the HDD mounted vertically with the drive screws along the left side. I have my SSD double stick taped to the HDD.

Also with the HDD cage removed, I was able to add a 120mm fan to the front of the case, which greatly improves cooling for this tiny case. (Also have to remove the front plastic panel, you can put foam spacers to grant airflow while retaining this, but I just keep it off)

I just went to a three day LAN, so the room was hot, and the CPU hit a max of 45C and the GPU 60C. At home it idles around 25C and 30C or so.

Yes definitely , also to give you a heads up you will probably need a new motherboard as well. When you decide to purchase the CPU, as your CPU is a LGA 1150 socket while you're looking to upgrade to a 1151 socket which requires a new motherboard, as well as DDR4 ram instead of DDR3.

Good luck with the purchase, and have a look at my thread to help you maximize your FPS once you get your new GPU.

I recommend this motherboard for the long run as well.

For the graphics card i recommend this as the temp's will be rather low with this card compared to other similar models , this also isn't colossus sized compared to other GPU's.

Best of luck

This is mine: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 6GB AMP! Edition ZT-P10600B-10M Three DP + HDMI + DVI Scheda Video Gaming VR Ready https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01I5O5AP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0vKWBbDVPP3AA

Yeah this one will work fine too. Maybe slightly louder or slightly warmer, but its no biggie. Its not the lights and colors that make Gaming X different, but cooling and overclock capabilities.

Edit: is non msi an option? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01I5O5AP2/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1494510010&sr=8-17&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=gtx+1060&dpPl=1&dpID=51gRJnzP6uL&ref=plSrch this one is cheaper and just as good, or really any dual fan 1060 6GB if you're on a budget.

try this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I5O5AP2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ryzen 5 1400 is pointless if your only gaming its basically a ryzen 3 with just 4 more threads which doesn't effect gaming. You can definitely find a 1060 6gb for cheaper than $360 heres one I found: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I5O5AP2/?tag=pcpapi-20 Also id go with an i5 8400 over amd with your budget because it just beats it in gaming in every way. heres a comparison: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-8400-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1400/3939vs3922 shouldnt even cost much if not any more. Heres an improved build I made for you:https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xH63ZR gl though

I know that your budget is 300, but if it was you I would definitely spend an extra $40 for a new version from amazon

Just browsing Amazon, I'm surprised how the prices of the 1060 and RX 480 have differentiated over the past couple weeks.

For 1080p 60 fps, the meta currently is either an RX 480/580 8GB or a GTX 1060 6GB. In your price range, those cards seem to start at ~$250. This one however is on sale for $230. I'd personally go for that. But other contenders you should consider are the RX 470/570 line of cards, which may fit better into the budget.

And for MSI, I'm guessing that this one is the low end one

I was looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-ZT-P10600B-10M-Compact-Graphics/dp/B01I5O5AP2

Go get yourself a new GPU. A GTX 1060 6GB like this will be fine.



You could also go ahead and get another 8GBs of RAM, which these are what you currently have.

1080 and 60hz, though my Mboard supports Crossfire and not SLI, so should I invest on AMD than Nvidia? Does it perform better on AMD gpus, i think not.

About the RX580 8gigs, its lower than 1060ti 6gis. I compared these, idk if these are kinda the same? RX580 vs 1060ti

This was selling for 7,900 two days back.

If you decide to go for 1070, then I highly recommend you get at least a 3000MHz RAM. Ryzen with VC higher than 1060 loves faster RAM and gives slightly more FPS. If you prefer to go along with 1060, then 2666 will be fine. I didn't check the compatibility with the mobo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4k_ErEg-FU

Prices will be somewhat cheaper in Nehru Place.

Another piece of advice: Don't spend a lot on Case. It is just for looks. You can buy Deepcool Tesseract SW or other good cases for around 3-5K. You can also buy a decent CPU Cooler with the balance. As for the monitor, my previous comment will suffice, I guess. :)

Good Luck, and keep notifying.

If you feel confused, do ask.

My friend is looking for a GTX 1060 6GB.

Can someone let me know if these are good prices for a 1060 GB?

And which one is the best bang for the buck. My friend is on a budget as well so he wants to know which one is the most worth for the price.

This one is a "mini" version. Not a big sexy beast but gets the job done all the same.

The RAM isn't compatible, consult the memory speeds supported by the motherboard on it's page. It will either get throttled or not recognized by your board/cpu

Any reason for the mini GPU? The case looks big enough. ZOTAC sells full size 1060s for nearly the same price

If you're willing to go up to $1200, I wouldn't cut the budget on core components. I'd urge to look for a 1070/1080 8GB or upgrade that processor. Money spent there is not wasted.

Looking for a 1060. Eyeing 3 cards at the moment. Budget is £265. Which one should I buy?

Are prices really that high though?

I've just gone on to Amazon and searched: "1060 6GB"

https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-AORUS-GeForce-Computer-Graphics/dp/B0748JBT8J/

$25 to $40 over MSRP. Is that really such a massive difference?

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125879

Another one, $25 over MSRP from Newegg.

Do you think the slgihtly larger version of this card with dual fan would be worth the extra 25 or whatever? (Plus prime shipping and such)

Anyone know how amazon ensures the "prepare for battle" deal from Nvidia for Ghost Recon or For Honor? I ordered a 1060 AMP! but the exact link isn't found in the promotion

Bought this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01IDCOOLC/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Vs. this: https://www.amazon.ca/GeForce-ZT-P10600B-10M-Compact-Dual-Fan-IceStorm/dp/B01I5O5AP2/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1491262379&sr=1-8

I bought mine at a cheaper price (275) than the current (368)

A refurbished 970 is probably the cheapest reasonable choice.

For the gtx 980 ti, which will have the best performance of any of the suggestions(at least within your budget), you'll have to dig around on ebay or /r/hardwareswap to see if you can find one in your budget. Of course, if you can find a used 1070 or 1060 for a fair price while you look, those are also fine.

A 1050 ti would be the cheap option that could tide you over until a better one is affordable.

A 1060 6gb is about the only new card that can give you a reasonable level of performance within your budget, but I'd note that it normally costs under $250 and is currently inflated because of the ethereum mining craze, which will hopefully be temporary. It is only a slight improvement over the refurbished 970 that I linked earlier.

A 1080 is really outside of your budget, but if you're willing to go over your budget it outperforms all of the other cards by quite a lot, for maybe $100-150 more than a 980 ti.

Those are about all of the reasonable options within your budget as far as I know.

There are a couple of options I could find:

Nvidia Founder's Edition 1060 (Original one)

ZOTAC 1060 6GB AMP! Edition

EVGA 1060 6GB SC

So here's what I would recommend ditch your motherboard and CPU buy a Ryzen 5 2600x. For the motherboard get a ASRock Atx Motherboard B450 Pro4 its out of stock on amazon at the moment but it will be in stock again on the 24th you could also order it from newegg. Your current CPU cooler should have come with a AMD AM4 mount but if you don't have it the CPU does come with a decent cooler and you won't really need to overclock it so it should work fine, You could also buy a mounting kit for AMD CPU's from Corsair. Next on the list would be a video card otherwise the new CPU would be bottle necked so I think you should get a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition, New it costs $279.99 but you can buy a used one off amazon for $206.24 either way you should have some money left $606.59 if you go with new and $532.84 if you go with used. After that you'll want some new ram so I would recommend the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB(2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz, If you went with the new video card that will put you at $716.58 if you went with the used video card that will put you at $642.83. Just in case you don't know this your old ram won't work in a ddr4 slot so don't try and force it in. In any case if you went with the used video card or you don't mind spending a little over budget I would next get a ssd my recommendation would be the Intel SSD 760P Series 256GB M.2 80MM PCIe 3.0 X4 That with the used video card will bring the total up to $715.82 with the new video card it would be $789.57. Anyways I hope that helps a little bit.

This one is in stock in about 10 days https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-ZT-P10600B-10M-Compact-Graphics/dp/B01I5O5AP2/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1498248658&sr=1-7&keywords=gtx+1060

Price of 1060.

Wbu the price of ram, motherboard, processor? As far as PS4 is concerned, it has shown multiple times that with proper optimisation it can do wonders. Case in point rdr2, Spiderman, gow etc.
