Good hashrate with low power

These cards draw very low power. About 110 a piece which is great for the hashrate which is generally around 19mhs on ETH. The only complaint is the price although they've been dropping as of late. When I picked it up it was 299.99 which was a fair deal then.

This card doesn't not have all the fancy cooling feature so of it's more expensive competitors. However, what you are getting is a basic Gtx 1060 that performs how it should at a good price and a good value.

High Performance, Loud Fans

This card performs very well, exceeding most of my expectations. One issue I have noticed is the loud vibrating noise the card's fans makes when at about 80% speed. I am unsure of whether the noise plagues all cards, or if my card is just defective.

Best Purchase for 1080p Gaming
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Packaging: Upset that the card wasn't in an anti-static bag as I was going to use that for my old GPU but nonetheless the packaging was pretty decent.
Noise: I'm always wearing headphones so I never hear anything but overall I do not notice a difference in fan noise, sounds just like my 750ti.
Price: You cannot beat this price, better than the 970 & cheaper? What a steal.
Performance: I only play one game in particular and my 750ti gets the job done but in some areas of the game it'll go below 40FPS and that's why I made this purchase. My 750ti would idle at ~35 FPS on ultra @ 1080p, with the 1060 in the same area, I average 100FPS on ultra @ 1080p.
Also, make sure your power supply has an extra 6 pin connector (usually it's a 6+2) in order to give this card some power. Only adding this in because my friend who's clueless when it comes to computers had no idea he needed such a thing and had to upgrade his power supply in order to run the card.
Anyways, if you game in 1080p, I highly recommend this card, won't need to make an upgrade for quite some time.

Amazingly quiet, cool card

I purchased this video card to replace my R9 380 4gb OC. I have to tell you this card is 50% better! I'm getting 62fps avg. on games like GTA V and Tomb Raider. I have an I5 4690s with 16gb of ram and this beast of a video card. The card itself runs cool and fairly quiet. If you're thinking of getting this video card over the RX 480.. Don't think twice about it - this is the card for you!

Great with some tweaking

Great performance for the price after some mild overclocking. Reached a SteamVR score of 9.2 after some tweaking. Unfortunately my card has some coil whine, but only during stress tests so far.

Great card

This may be one of the best gtx 1060s out there it has an amazing cooler which is silent while low load and even in games like gta v it still doesn't sound too loud. The card itself also looks very nice and the card has a full size pcb which surprised me in a good way. The only reason this card may not be good for you is if you have a really small itx case other than that this is a wonderfull card with amazing perfomance and runs all games on ultra settings.

Quiet, affordable way to max out a 1080p monitor
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I was able to upgrade my Dell XPS 8900 with this card. However, it barely fit and having a USB extension cable for a standard USB motherboard connector would have made installation easier.
I think the large size accommodates a good cooling system, however.
The manufacturer recommends a minimum power supply of only 400 watts and a power monitor verifies that my upgraded desktop usually doesn't draw much more than 100 watts total while gaming.
I recommend this card with the caveat that if you are unsure that a 9.85" x 4.53" card won't be too much of a hassle, consider a smaller card.

The best price

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The PNY GTX 1060 is by far the best price to performance ratio card out now in my opinion. The fans do not run loud, I did play with DSR in the settings. In 2k (2560 x 1440p) resolutions the card is fantastic, runs over 60 fps in ultra settings in BF4. The card would fit in most mid ATX cases.

A word of caution to anyone buying an Open Box PNY

A word of caution to anyone buying Open Box PNY parts. Most dealers distinguish between Open Box (open but never sent to a customer) and returned. I never buy returned items, but every manufacturer I have ever used honors warranties on Open Box items bought from a dealer. PNY DOES NOT. I now have a door stop.
