Great review as always Hilbert , nice read. I like how silent this card is , really awesome noise levels. A great 1080p video card , performance wise this video card or the RX480 are both great options but i think it all comes down to the games you play and future proofing since DX12 and Vulkan are here and now.

At last a card on the same price level as the $180 RX-470 4GB and the $200 RX-480 4GB
to compare against.
A equal play field at last let the battle commence.
And gameworks is the worst thing ever to infect game performance.
If you disagree go and play batman.

Is anyone else like me that thinks MSI has gone full blown retarded over the Maxwell refresh? Yeah i get it's their 30th year anniversary and it's the 10th gen nVidia Geforce but really 10 SKU's for every chip???? Theres 3 SKU's just for their Frozor Cooler then you have their armour sky hawk etc.

This card is giving very nice performance judging by the benchmarks.
Can't you just order from an other country, somewhere in Europe maybe, here in the Netherlands they cost between €270 and +€300. €20 for shipping or so, or do you get import taxes higher then 30%? Or is it stolen in the mail somewhere?
Here an overview of 1060 offers in NL. Germany is often slightly cheaper.

312-376€ in Switzerland
290-360€ in France
270-340€ netherlands
249$ = 220€
so yeah...those american $ prices real funny but nothing like their real cost elsewhere
don't blame those countries taxes...it's the brands that impose a huge premium to other countries prices
I know a NY shop I was ordering non-electronic products from was closed a few years ago for exporting directly outside of the US bypassing the stupidly insanely expensive "export bonus" of the official distributors example : sunglasses sold for 450$ instead of 150$ yeah I'm not joking....3x the us price and it's one of those brands that lawyer-ed them to death

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.

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%".
