Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB AMP Edition GDDR5 Graphics Card - Black, ZT-P10600B-10M

10/10 card

Zotac 3GB-gtx 1060...a Nice compact basically silent at times graphics card. This really does pack a punch. I baught this card for my amd-9590 build. I thought there would be some issues as the card is getting older and due to the demand for more onboard graphics memory ect. but this does show it can hang with the big boys for such a small card. I’m fairly impressed, and yet to explore how far I can really take this gaming wise. Be aware tho this card would be for people who are on a budget.. not for enthusiasts, who would no doubt go for something a little more agressive depending on what build they are going for. But believe me this 1060 from zotac has breathed new life into my older gen Amd gaming system. and is all built and set up in the spare room for my guests who like me have grew up pc gaming. Perfect entertainment system in my eyes. Thanks for reading everyone. here is some 3D Mark results.! Sorry about the quality of the pictures as I’m uploading this from a phone. Regards jay.

Good powerful little card, but not worth the cost. An AMD RX480 is a much better bang-for-your-buck card.I have this in a budget Mini-ITX build at the moment, paired with an i5 4590 on a 1080p monitor; and it works well. The only game I play often on that machine is League of Legends and it handles it no problem on max settings, lowest FPS being 100 and maxing out at about 400.I have also played GTA V and CS:GO briefly; GTA V plays comfortably between 70 - 110 fps on the highest settings. CS:GO plays similar to League, going as low as 100fps and as high as 400fps again. Good results but these games aren't anything major.If you don't get the cooling 100% correct to this card, it can get hot! I had a window'd panel on my case at the disadvantage of no vent holes, the sacrifice of vent holes led to an increase of 15 degree in temps. This thing was gasping for air (in a very cool case [CPU maxing out at 50 deg under load with an AIO]).Don't even touch the 6GB version of this card, not many games use more than the 3GB VRAM, if you're going for a multi monitor display (why are you getting a mid-range card?), an ultrawide monitor (1080p), or want to dip the very tip of you toes in the 4K experience, go for the 6GB. Otherwise, you're paying an extra 40/50 for about 5 FPS.If you want the better bang-for-your-buck, go for the RX480, I've seen RX480 4GB versions going for 150GBP. You can really grab a bargain with those. I don't regret buying this card (so I keep telling myself) but you wouldn't spend another $50 more, for a car that goes 1MPH quicker would you?If you refuse to use an AMD product then go for this; try and get a version with better cooling though.

This Zotac GTX 1060 AMP ticks all the boxes:- great radiator with 2 fans- passive mode at low temperature (fans off)- compact design- 5 years warranty (2 years + 3 extended years if you register the card online)- no flashy design- price on the lower side (£249 at the moment)- slight factory overclocking- very low noiseThe only card with nearly similar characteristics is the EVGA 1060 SC Gaming, but it only has a single fan. The BIOS of the EVGA didn't have initially a passive mode for low temperatures and now its latest bios is a bit bugged according to EVGA's forum: it has a weird fan curve that got introduced by the new passive mode. So, until EVGA figures out how to produce a decent BIOS, the Zotac is definitively the go-to card! Other cards are just ridiculously large for the thermal dissipation requirement of the GTX 1060...I have upgraded from an MSI 760ti Gaming Twin Forzr and the new Zotac is quieter (totally silent in idle and almost inaudible under heavy load), heats much less, draws 40% less power according to the reviews (TDP ~130W vs 180W) and is much shorter. Its compact design is definitively a plus: you get a better airflow in your case compared to a large card and the Zotac is compatible with nearly any case on the market!tl;dr: Probably the best compromise you can get if you are looking for a GTX 1060.Note: Don't forget to register the card on Zotac's website, you will get a total warranty of 5 years!

This review for the Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 1152 NVIDIA CUDA Cores Mini 3 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - Black comes after a couple of weeks of use. I had an AMD R7 360 before this card and I must say the difference its HUGE, I don't know how I done without it before now.I done alot of looking about before buying this card and at the moment on bench tests this card appears to be ranked number 13.Ok so it's not in the top 10 however looking at the price of this card compared to anything in the top 10 you'd be spending double so value for money is outstanding I think.I'm not into playing the latest games when they come out however I've been playing Killing Floor 2 and World of Warships alot lately and this card never dips below 60fps with all settings turned up to the max, granted it's not the latest games but it's still great.at the moment I've got two samsung 22inch screens connected on extend and a further 32inch TV that mirrors screen one, plenty outputs on the card but I did need to buy a DP to DVI due to my monitor connections (not the cards fault in anyway)It needs a 6pin power connection and the card fits into a Mini ATX case with ease, it's also worth noting that you only get the card in the box (no cables or adaptors so make sure you have what you need)
