GTX 1060 6GB Low Profile Graphics Card | GDDR5 192-Bit,PCIe 3.0 x16,HDMI and DisplayPort Outputs

First of all, its a blower design with a small fan, so I wasn't surprised that it was a little noisy. The desktop was sitting under my desk next to my leg. I used Afterburner to create a fan curve with a max speed of 80%. Noise wasn't that bad. Even at 100% it's not terrible, sounds kind like a hair dryer. Not unexpected at all. That said... performance was surprising. I never heard of this company and was wondering if it was some OC'd 1050 TI. I compared two Firestrike runs I did. One on a i9-9900k with a 1050 TI and the current computer a i7-9700 (non-K) and the 1060 6GB. The 1060 beats the 1050 TI for like 35%. The test bed was a Dell OptiPlex 7070 SSF. It only has room for a single slot card. The 1050 TI is a dual slot card. The 1060 should have done better but the 9900K is a bit better than the 9700 and made up some of the difference. Overall, very pleased. I could play No Man's Sky on this little box very smoothly on medium graphics.

GPU muy rápida, pero solución de refrigeración totalmente basura. Se calienta en un minuto después de una carga de GPU del 60-70%. La temperatura alcanza los 90 grados, el rendimiento comienza a sufrir, el reloj del núcleo cae por debajo de los 900 MHz, los FPS caen a unos 30, el ventilador gira al 100% y crea un ruido excesivo. Ahora gastaré otros 3000 MXN para reemplazar el disipador por otro más grande hecho de cobre, para reemplazar el ventilador por Noctua, para cambiar las almohadillas térmicas de la VRAM por placas de cobre y para instalar una placa trasera de refrigeración de cobre. No me importa la garantía. Modificaré esta GPU para que funcione como se espera y la jugaré. Really fast GPU, but fully scrap cooling solution. Overheats in one minute after 60-70% GPU load. Temperature reaches 90 degrees, performance start to suffer, core clock drops below 900 MHz, FPS drops to about 30, fan rotates at 100% and creates excessive noise. Now I will spend another MXN 3000 to replace the heatsink with another larger made of copper, to replace the fan with Noctua, to exchange the VRAM thermal pads with copper plates, and to install cooling backplate of copper. I do not care about the guarantee. I will modify this GPU to runs as it is expected and I will play it.

This was a very nice upgrade from a 1030 card in my mom's computer. now it can handle 4k video easily, as well as decent gaming from games 2018 or before, so long as they're not high end requirements. I've not stress tested this yet, but it works fine. I would ONLY recommend this for small form factor machines with little space (one slot only. Usually dells).
