I bought this graphics card to replace my gtx 750 ti. The primary reason being the amount of vram (gddr5). This 1060 has 6gb of vram, which, as graphical needs increase over time, should last for a good few years. I use this card for about 8 or 9 hours a day, and i use it for gaming and game development in unity. The card works as expected and has no issues running games such as fortnite at 120 fps high settings. you can run ultra as well but you're going to want to cap the frames to 60 fps as to reduce frame drops. Unity runs very well, and is far better at building scenes and generating lighting(which was the biggest problem i had with my 750 ti).
pros -
6 gigabytes of vram.
2 DVI ports to support dual monitors(i tested to ensure this works on windows 10, it does)
Dual fans for better cooling. if you buy a 1060 i really recommend buying one with dual fans. it'll last much longer if cooled more adequately. i was worried mine would have cooling problems as i have a small case in a room thats usually about 74 to 75 degrees fahrenheit. but interestingly it only reached 107 fahrenheit under load. which for a gpu is not bad.
cons - none really ;)
pretty standard situation here. its a great card of course but it wont function as well as cards higher in the price range, which is to be expected.
but for 300 USD this will do everything. i have not tested this against its amd counter part the rx 580/480 or with VR. Though its supposed to support it.
It all comes down to what you need in a graphics card. This card can handle just about everything and is a great all around gpu.
Like i said its a great card i have had it for a week now and have had no problems so far. I also own a 1060 3gb in my other system, its almost equally as good as the 6gb card but will most likely be hindered by its 3gb of vram in the near future, so I highly recommend this gpu.
