In this article we'll review the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GT OC, aimed at the budget minded consumer this card is much cheaper (249 USD) compared to the GAMING edition, yet comes factory overclocked but not with the niche things like RGB LED system, backplates and premium cooler.

The 1060 costs here more than the 970 two years ago lmao. Small supply, dollar too strong, and shelves still flooded with pricey maxwells.

There are some mistakes in the review.
1. Page 2 "Up-to roughly 60 Degrees C, the fans will not spin".
This card does not implement zerofrozer (fans stop <60C) so the fans will always stay spinning even at idle. And the idle fan noise (pg 9) says 33Db which contradicts the 'fans will not spin' claim.
2. Page 3 "MSI placed extra shielding heatsinks over the GDDR5 memory as well as a heatsink directly on top of the VRM area"
It doesn't look like there is any heatsinks on the VRMs. You clearly see the bare mosfets in the picture following the comment.
Some people have complained that the fans cannot be set below 1500rpm or 50% in the MSI forum. I do not have privileges to post titles yet so thread title ""MSI GTX 1060 6gt ocv1 AfterBurner fan speed cannot be set below 49%".

I have found prices to be inflated here in the United States as well. Must be this strange phenomenon called High Demand along with its twin brother Short Supply. Prices here for the 1060's (6GB) are the same as they were for the 970 two years ago, and the 1060 is barely faster.
