MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Aero ITX Review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/16/2017 02:00 PM [ 9 comment(s) ]

In this article we'll review the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Aero ITX 6G. Aimed at the small form factor DiY PC gamer, this somewhat budget graphics card launches at roughly 249 USD, the smallest GTX 1060 you'll have seen and the most silent we have tested of all 6GB versions.

yes the 3g exist in itx size and i agree with you about the 6g as the price dif from 3 to 6 is less than on "gaming" or "armor" serie.

I don't understand the marketing behind this. If you have an ITX case that supports a full-profile dual-slot card (like this one), it is VERY likely it will fit something longer than this. For example, I have an ITX case that can fit a 25cm card in it. I know most ITX cases aren't that roomy, but generally speaking, the GPU just needs to be shorter than the width of the motherboard (so, smaller than 170mm).

It seems to me most ITX cases and motherboards are focused on either being low profile or only support single slot cards. The 1060 is a pretty efficient GPU, I'm pretty sure it could handle having a smaller heatsink.

But oh well, nice product anyway.

I would've been more impressed if it was a 1070 or better to be honest.

Have no fear, there is one, or two, maybe more

The zotac one actually seemed to be the cheapest going.

I looked at a few tests for the gigabyte one and as you'd imagine, it's kinda noisy and hot at full load compared to the longer cards, but still less than reference.

Best cheap one for noise and temperature and price seems to be the gainward phoenix card.

I would like to know how is it that, every "most" other sites make out the RX470 is a POS. But here in Guru3d it matches or even beats the 1060?

Would it be possible for all sites to upload the same demo, timedemo, whatever you would like so there could be a standard in testing.

Then again Dues EX has got a in game benchmark and all other sites beside Guru3d and Bit-tech says RX470 is any good...

Thanks I do appreciate the reviews here Hilbert Hagedoorn.

I actually would have bought the Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Mini, before I bought the Powercolor RX470.

I guess only time will tell if the extra 2GB vram would have made any differance.
