When i was getting this product , I’m little afraid because after connecting the HDMI port the display was showing me “please power down and connect the PCIe power cable for this graphics card ” . Then I connect the PCIe extra cable from my SMPS ( cooler master 750w ) , After connecting the PCIe cable display was running . The driver CD which came with it’s box the version is very low . I downloaded the driver and installed .
Cons : It is too much heavy and the fan which is running , very sharp and It’s not a heavy looking graphics as compare to it’s weight and its power consumption is too much high almost 120 wtt
After playing pubg lite I was getting 145 -156 fps what is very impressive point ,
It’s very powerful GPU .
If you bye 3 gb variant in 13k ,It’s excellent for you
If you bye 6 gb variant in 15.5k (maximum) ,It’s excellent for you but if you get this in 17k-18k it’s average for you because 6 gb vRam provite you 5% extra performance and sometimes future proof

Finally I got the card today. Packing was good. Card is smaller than I expected. Mine is a 1366 x 768 monitor, even though some games took more than 3gb Vram most of the time. The main problem of my configuration is “i3” processor. CPU intensive games like GTA 5, Black ops 3 etc. would run lesser FPS than actual because of CPU bottleneck. 10-15 fps drop is there. So if you are planning to build a gaming pc, then must go for at least four core i5-processor!! My old card is GT-630 overclocked one (200+), so now I can feel a huge performance difference over GTX1060.
Two things must be in consideration,
1. PSU must be form a good brand -recommended Corsair VS450! For me I bought a local 800W PSU first. After some gaming PC auto shuts down due to lack of power in GPU and also experienced a small burning smell from PSU. Wattage is a gimmick, you need to check the amp at +12v power rail. The 800W psu rates 23A and corsair 450W rates 34A. After replaces with corsair everything works flawlessly.
2. RAM must be 8GB at least. Otherwise it leads to some frame drop.
Go for it without a doubt. 3GB version of this card is also a good choice if price is around 18000!!

I’m a beginner to PC gaming and was in two-minds whether to spend the extra £50-£70 on a GTX 1060 (6GB) over a 1050ti (which for any serious gamer wouldn’t even be a question). I am absolutely over the moon I chose to spend a little extra.
This card is relatively small and sits really nicely in my Mini ATX case at an ambient 38 C with an average of 68 C when gaming. I have not overclocked this card, nor do I plan on doing so. The games I have tried and benchmarked are as follows:
Tomb Raider: 89 FPS [Ultra Detail]
Fortnite: 120 FPS [Ultra]
Shadow of Mordor: 60 FPS (capped) [Ultra]
Skyrim: 60 FPS (capped) [Ultra]
I have not tried a title which it has yet to struggle with which is why this card gets 10/10 from me!
I switched from PS4 console gaming to PC gaming; and while you would think when capped at 60 FPS there is not much difference….you’d be wrong! The level of detail and smoothness of each game I’ve tried really isn’t comparable. Not to mention Steam keys both on the official store and on partnering sites are SO much cheaper. I managed to pick up Shadow of Mordor GOTY for £2.69 [Jan 2019].
Current specs:
Ryzen 5 1600
MSI MS-7A39
12GB DDR4 Ballistix (1x 4GB, 1X 8GB)
450W PSU
3 X Fans (More than cool enough)

This card is the cheapest card you can buy based on Pascal architecture.
Pros:
1. Very small card and it can easily fit HTPC mini ITX cases like Thermaltake Core V1 or Coolermaster Elite 110/130
2. Using the latest drivers, I got a Firestrike score of 11021 which is almost close to GTX 980.
3. It overclocks by 10% easily and we can expect 5-10% increase in FPS performance.
4. This is easily the best card to buy for smooth 60fps 1080p gaming.
5. Idle temperature hovers between 35-40 degrees C. That is decent.
6. Support for HDMI 2.0 will allow 4K @ 60Hz and DP 1.3/1.4 will allow 4K @ 120Hz and 5K @ 60Hz. This is futureproof stuff if you intend to buy 4K/5K monitors in future.
I use 1080p @ 120hz monitor. It makes huge difference. @ 120hz, the mouse movements and windows animations are so smooth and fluid. I can’t wait for 4K @ 120hz displays to be released. Expect them to cost a bomb.
Cons:
1. Expensive. I purchased it for Rs. 18450. I think Rs. 15000 is the accurate price in India for this 3GB model.
2. I wished it had 4 GB RAM. 3 GB is a very odd figure and many 1080p games can push 3 GB to it’s limits at full settings.
3. Disappointed with the packaging. There was not a single accessory inside the box. Just a few pamphlets advertising Zotac’s SSDs and few other products.There could have been HDMI to VGA adapter and some free game thrown in to justify the increased price.
If you want to get this card for some serious gaming, spend extra 3-4 thousand and get 6GB version. That is 10% faster and will handle high memory intensive games better.

First off, I am not a gamer and mainly wanted this to speed up video editing with adobe premiere and cyberlink powerdirector. So, coming from an old AMD HD 4850 X2 to this was a huge step up in performance.
Why did I pick this card? GTX 1070’s and 1080’s with at least as much memory get to be pricey and I didn’t see the price to performance benefit. If I was a gamer though, I may have gone with at least a GTX 1070.
Why not AMD? Nvidia reportedly is optimized to perform (or vice versa) better with Adobe. AMD was tempting with more memory for the same or less pricing on one comparable card though in my under four hundred dollar budget, but the 1060 seemed to be a better value on this point as well when looking at performance. With AMD Vega’s coming out soon (I didn’t want to wait) my opinion may very well change.
Why 6GB over the less expensive 3GB 1060 cards? With the deal I got on this card, the price wasn’t much more at the time. I was on the fence after reading endless benchmarks and reviews as to 3GB vs 6GB performance for my purposes. I ultimately decided if I was going to have any regrets, it would be having more memory than needed than not enough.
Why the Zotac card? Great reputation, great specs, seriously nice cooling design. The fans hardly even run. They only come on when thermals call for it.
Performance: For what matters to me, this card cut my rendering, encoding, etc. times to 1/3 to 1/2 of what they were before. This card is really overkill for my old system, but I bought it with a future system upgrade to an i9 within the next year. Right now it sits on an X58 Gigabyte board with an i7-980x cpu.

For campaign players 60 fps at 1080p.
{ If played with a 4 GHz processor 1080p at a min FPS of 60 gaming on ultra settings is possible on this GPU. }
For CS GO it gives more than enough for a 144 hz monitor. ( 175-198 fps ).
In other FPS games it should be able to deliver 80-200 FPS depending upon different games and settings.
PUBG (PC version) is not recommend on this as its a very high hardware demanding game.
I bought it more than a year ago under 13k its OC’d at Core clock = +250 mhz and Memory clock = + 600 mhz and its doing great.
{ My FPS is locked at 200 fps with a 3.5 GHz base clock and all 4 cores at the same clock. }
For more FPS after OC optimize the Nvidia control panel and keep your GPU driver updated through G-Force experience. G-FORCE experience also allows you to customize your in game settings considering your preference.
There are more GPUs around 15-20k price but this one is best considering budget. But beware you should have good cooling available or a cabinet with good airflow setup.
Summary: Best budget GPU for 60 hz gamers and 144 hz CS freaks if you don’t bottleneck.

I decided to get rid of my PS4 and go back to my PC gaming root and set myself a budget. After doing a bit of research I decided that for the price difference, the quality difference between this card and a gtx 1050 was too big to ignore despite taking me a bit over budget.
I am very glad I did.
For info, I’m running a ryzen 5 1500x, 16gb ddr4 3000 3000mhz ram on a solid state drive.
So far I have played Overwatch (epic settings, absolutely flawless gameplay with no frame drop) and bf1 on ultra, I’d initiate been a bit worried when I saw some comparison videos of bf1 on PS4 compared to this card and thiught I’d be underwhelmed. Not sure what the video was talking about as the difference is massive and aside from looking spectacular it also runs flawlessly. Very glad I purchased this card and waited a few weeks for delivery rather than cancelling to spend £50 more for a different card a week earlier.

Great GPU! It’s quiet and the OC software is simple and useful. Easy to install gets about 15 fps average more than my EVGA GTX 1060SC 3GB. Plays Ghosts and Titanfall 2 on maxed settings. Put the EVGA in the livingroom computer for the kids. Very Happy! Easy to register on Zotac for the longer Warranty.
