What customers say about "Key Specs"
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Founder's Edition
- Bought this from Nvidia's website and so far I have no problem with it. Have an Intel i5 7500, gtx 1060 and 16 GB of RAM and perfectly handles games. 100+ fps in csgo, 80+ in pubg.
- I purchased this card from NVIDIA's website since I needed a blower style cooler for my mini-itx case. I'm upgrading from a GTX 645 and oh my the results are fantastic! I can run all of the latest games, maxed out settings at 1080p and get an easy 80+ fps.
MSI GeForce GTX 980 TI GAMING 6G Graphics Card (V323-001R)
- Everything about this card far exceeded my expectations. It's quiet, runs cool(without liquid cooling system), and my god is it Powerful. This card is a straight up beast, able to handle anything you throw at it with max settings, 60fps, and 1440p QHD.
- I am blown away by the performance of this card.
- It's a GTX 980 TI... it will run literally anything at high FPS max graphics (with an appropriate CPU, of course)
- Such a looker and by george is it a fast GPU. Really though, this thing is rediculously quite even under massive loads. It handles almost any game you can throw at it exceptionally well.
- Love it, runs league of legends at 800 fps and that's all I wanted.

What customers say about "Features"
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Founder's Edition
- Very quiet and it works great on my Alienware X51 R2.
- Naturally a pointless review bring the rating down for no reason. Let it be known, this is a damn good gpu and hell of a performance bargain. Upgraded from my gtx 760 I've had for a year... what a jump. Probably tripled my performance.
MSI GeForce GTX 980 TI GAMING 6G Graphics Card (V323-001R)
- Runs perfectly, really quiet. Though I have been getting an error message whenever I open up a web browser or anything fullscreen. Driver issue I assumed, it won't go away even after updating the drivers.
- Runs cool and quiet. Comes factory clocked quite high. Not the fastest 980 TI out there, but absolutely the best 980 TI on the market when considering noise, temperatures, and speed as a total package. The near-silent fans alone make this card worth buying.
- I bought this card to replace two loud and hot reference amd cards and this was the best choice. The card is very strong and very quiet.
- Fans turn off when not in use, greatly reducing passive noise levels
- The back of the card is a heavy metal plate for great protection (and looks)
- Runs a little hot. I average about 78-81 Degrees C, When I'm Maxing out games like Witcher 3 or BF4.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Founder's Edition
- Only uses about 120w so you don't need a beefy power supply either.
MSI GeForce GTX 980 TI GAMING 6G Graphics Card (V323-001R)
- The dust covers for the connection slots are a nice touch as well, though they are a hard plastic, so not sure how long they'll "stay" put. If you're looking at getting a TI this one definitely delivers.
- I have 3 monitors connected to this plus a TV. Driving games are the most noticeable change on 3 monitors and is something that has to be experienced. Every game recommends the highest settings and even on 3 screens it doesn't slow this card down.
- Only 1 HDMI port... though, I suppose Display Port should be preferable these days, but my monitors don't support it, so...
- Only one HDMI output not a problem until you try to play project cars on oculus and it won't display in vr. Have to do a work around for that .
- Runs slightly hot when you require it to push multiple displays with differing refresh rates, but otherwise zero complaints after owning it a few months.
