Great Nvidia GPU at a REALLY Great Price!!! The main reason i bought this card was because me and my son were building a MSI computer for him. We tried to get everything MSI branded and color schemed so everything matched. And it also has the Mystic Light capability built in to it, so that was a plus.Now the performance is really awesome, and I always go for Nvidia when i do game cards, and this GPU does not disappoint at all!!! He can play his games on basically the highest level and there is no jittering and the frame rate is great. The card stays cool, and i believe that is because the MSI tech they use, Twin Frozr, is above and beyond most cooling fans. It is REAL quiet also, which is really great. I also bought this card because it is VR Ready, so we are covered there for when we decide to jump in the VR Gaming craze. Another reason i bought this card is because it is the same type of GPU chipset i have in my laptop, and it runs great!!!Installation was easy and painless, and there was no trouble while doing the installation. I like that it came with stickers to put on the computer case as well...now we can boast about what is part of the powerhouse inside.UPDATE: Better With VR-Its been a bit over 6 months now since we installed this card in the MSI build me and my son did. It is STILL kicking butt and taking names!!! One of the reason we got this card was because it was VR ready, and let me tell you, we have gone VR and have a Occulus Rift that we can use on his machine with this card, AND IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT AT ALL!!! We have 3 PC's in the house that use the Rift, but this card uses it most of the time, so it gets the most play time with it. It still stays cool, NEVER LOUD, and no lag at all!!! I would tell everyone to buy this card for their new setup without any hesitation, because well...it WORKS SO GOOD!!!

This card is fantastic... where do i start?... for anyone looking for a decent graphics card is, this dude games great you won't regret it if you buy it. First off, the card is much bigger than it looks in the pictures, luckily my tower had no problems for room, i specifically purchased a tower to accommodate my Gigabyte 960 4GB 3 fan G1 card so it fit with room to spare. However, i would advise anyone wanting this card to make certain you have the room for it in your case, I'm sure most of you already know that. It's not as long as my Gigabyte card but it's very close, and it's wide, quite the card indeed. I like my 960, it does a decent job for gaming, but after firing this feller up, i'd bet it's nearly twice the card as the 960 is. In Crysis 3 with everything cranked up to max settings, the game played with absolutely no lag, got average 55 to 60 fps easily, even more at times, but I can only see 60 fps from MSI afterburner and I had vertical sync turned on due to my not so high priced monitor. For any potential buyers looking for a 1060, do yourself a huge favor and save up if you have to, but get this 6GB version, do NOT get the 3GB version card, there's quite a bit of difference with the 6GB card, a lot of the newer games are becoming Vram hogs so you're gonna need the 6GB version if you plan on gaming for recent and future games.

Wow, just.... WOW~! This GPU is wonderful. I've had it for one day now and I've played every game I own with it and I cannot express how much of a difference it has made compared to my previous cards which I had Crossfired. I'm getting 10-20 frames per second more than what I used to get and not only that, but the thermals of this card keep my computer nice and cool instead of turning it into a heater. I have a Thermaltake Tower 900 so the airflow is not as optimal as other cases, but this card has extremely low temps, even under load, so it helps keep my big box nice and cool by not getting as hot as some cards on the market. Now, I cannot say that it was decently priced, but for the money, it is totally worth it in my book. Grade A product MSI, THANK YOU! Any person considering a graphics card right now, look no further... I researched every single graphics card currently out on the market and I chose this one because it was in my budget, and it offers a lot for what you are paying. MSI makes great products and this card is a great example.OKAY, TIME FOR THE PROS AND CONSPROS: 1. Overclocked. 2. Low temps under load. 3. Aestetically pleasing. 4. RGBCONS: 1. RGB is limited to the msi logo only. 2. thats it, its a great card, haha.

I purchased this video card on a whim because of the color and the fact that it was the series I wanted. 1060s are killer for the games that are out nowadays. I could not believe how nicely this complimented my Red MSI H110M Micro ATX MOBO and my Red Ballistix Sport LT RAM kit.Pros: It's sleek and beautiful. The LEDs on it are subtle, but enough to make it really POP in any case with a transparent side panel. THERE ARE NOT 500 TINY PIECES OF PLASTIC TO PEEL OFF OF IT FRESH OUT OF THE BOX. (I know I'm not the only person that spends more time peeling "protective" plastic off of their video card than they do building a PC.) The performance is honestly surprising for such a budget friendly GPU. It shreds through any title I’ve thrown at it with 60+ FPS, even on the highest settings and in the peaks of team fights.Cons: To me, it seems that the fans get kind of loud during intense gaming. But, that may also be partially the other 4 fans I have in my case as well.Conclusion: I don't have much bad to say about this particular GPU, if anything at all. Easy to prep, easy to install, drivers are easy to find on the website.. +5 to MSI Gaming.
