What customers say about "Key Specs"

PNY Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Card GDDR5, 6 GB

Great graphics card for gaming and video editing!
For gaming this card can play all the games that I throw at it on high settings at 1080p whilst maintaining a 60fps frame rate whilst running dual monitors.
Video editing 1080p footage is very smooth (I haven't edited 4K so couldn't comment on that) and render speeds are reasonably fast too.
Good performance for the price. I use it for video editing and performance is decent!
Superb graphics card. Very fast. Highly recommended for gamers!

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC 3 GB GDDR5 memory PCI Express 3 Dual Fan Graphics Card

I used this card in my new rig. I have not played any games yet. I mainly got this for video editing and daily use on my 1080p monitor. I have had no complaints since.
Excellent video card. Extremely powerful, at 1080p it runs all games over 60fps even with maximum/ultra quality settings.
Runs all of my video needs well and is quiet
Amazing graphics card, i can easily play games over 60fps at 1080p(actually overkill for 60@1080p) but the true test will come soon when i try gaming on a 21.9 lg 34 inch monitor.
Great graphics card, with my setup I haven't been challenged by any game yet. I can render a 15 minute 1080p 60fps video in the matter of minutes so that's always good.

What customers say about "Features"

PNY Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Card GDDR5, 6 GB

I highly recommend it, very low TDP consumption and low noise.
Runs most games at 1080p max or ultra settings overclockable with msi afterburner
Great card! Nice perfomance, and cool under load! Silent cooling fan!
Sure you can get those all-out-extreme 'heat pipe' coolers that do reduce temps - but I found this card doesn't overheat.

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC 3 GB GDDR5 memory PCI Express 3 Dual Fan Graphics Card

The water cooling block is one of the best features, you can expect to see temps well below 35c and (under 100% max load) 45c.
Awesome graphics card without a VR, its a perfect alternative if you don't want that feature!
Amazing card. really exellent performer, nice build quality, the only feature that will be bood are a lighting built in, and a nice sli bridge.. but the card is awesome..
The card still features the zero fan spin for when your gaming needs are minimal so the card makes virtually no noise at all especially at idle.
The card was so large that it would not fit into my computer so I never had a chance to find out if it was any good.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

PNY Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Card GDDR5, 6 GB

Small and doesn't need to be connected to the psu. Perfect for media center pc.
Cool card! Came with all the connectors.
Its include multiple outputs on the back of the card for multiple displays to be connected and its so good for me!
The card has support for 1 HDMI 2.0, a DVI-D and 3 Display port 1.4 which are capable of displaying 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 60Hz. A Fantastic feature of this card.
This graphic card does not have a fix in place to decrease heat.

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC 3 GB GDDR5 memory PCI Express 3 Dual Fan Graphics Card

Yes it had x3 DP and a HDMI connections available but I have a 144hz acer predator monitor and wanted not only decent refresh rates but a card which had the grunt to keep me ahead.
Its well build and comes factory overclocked.you will need 6pin and 8pin connections to power this beast.
Port wise you have 3x Display ports, 1x HDMI and 1x DVI-D and it can support up to 4 monitors at once at a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320.
It has enough ports in the rear for four monitors (I have three plus 1 TV). A must-buy for any big budget gamer.
My original glowing review of this card is no more. It's going back to Amazon (cheers guys!) after ALL THREE DisplayPort ports have stopped working once drivers are installed.
