There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
All of my games so far, including semi-new games at the time of writing this such as Dark Souls III, have no trouble running at maximum settings without dropping framerate. Things can get a little hot during gameplay, but as you can see in the picture, the card does have two fans which will greatly help, and you could always install a custom loop cooling system to further mitigate any heat problems. I was able to get this a tiny bit cheaper on Cyber Monday, but even at the current price it's a steal.
Don't buy into the hype of the 1080 - right now it simply isn't worth the price point unless you absolutely have a ton of cash to throw left and right. It will be next year's budget card anyways when Nvidia reveals whatever is next, and the 1060 can last you a good few years if you take care of your rig. The only thing this card will likely struggle at is 4K gaming, which wasn't an issue for me since I don't even have a 4K monitor, but the 6GB version might alleviate that issue, plus you could just get more than one.
So in conclusion:
The old video was the stock Intel 460. This is a HUGE increase in video speed. However, many things remain the same and just increasing the video speed isn't the total cure but the real bonus for me is the application of filters and renders in Adobe Photoshop. What used to take 30 to 45 seconds now are almost instant or if complex may take 10 or 15 seconds. This makes the workflow so much easier.

My specs
i5 4670k OC to 4.2 GHz
GTX 1060 3GB
16 GB DDR3 RAM
Samsung EVO SSD for Windows and programs and a few WD Blue HDD for mass storage.
My "monitor" is a 55 in 4k TV
Paired with an Intel I5-7600K I am able to run PUBG at roughly 110fps.
This was well worth the money in my opinion.
I would recommend spending a little extra and getting the 6GB version.
Performance wise:
-It runs cool.
-It overclocks well from what I can see.

Le prestazioni sono quelle che già conoscevo ma i 3 gb di memoria non mi interessano più di tanto … a quel prezzo.
La consiglierei ?? Si certo se si riesce a pagarla bene ...

Due to its price/performance ratio, great build and cooling quality for up to 1080p resolutions it's very affordable and highly recommended.
Something to be aware of, the software which is used to change settings on the graphics card, such as fan speed etc, has a "loading wheel" when the software first launches (turn pc on). This wheel appears on top of anything else that's open, and takes a few minutes before it disappears.
It's big. I have, what I thought to be, a reasonable sized case and it barely fits. I recommend checking measurements first, or considering buying a larger case if you get this graphics card. But in my opinion, it's worth it.
