Hai,

Which brand GTX 1060 to go with?

1. Zotac GTX 1060 AMP Edition - No back Plate - 5 years warranty

2. Gainward GTX 1060 Phoenix Golden Sample(GS) - Back plate - 3 years warranty

Help me decide.

Thanks & Regards,
BSSunil

You can't go wrong with any of them but if extended warranty matters for you then get Zotac.

Zotak - More warranty and better known brand also you will get good resale where as I doubt people will prefer brand like Gainward

I love the MSI cards, if you plan to use for a long time then they are good.
Zotact is good for resale value.

Supertron India Pvt Ltd handles RMA for Zotac & Sapphire as well.

Both are excellent but if you ask for only one name then I will say Zotac.

I am not crying over a back plate.
Please mention where I cried over a back plate.
If you can give me a suggestion, give it.
Why whine over unnecessary things.
I am right now using GTX950 OC. Thinking of upgrading later to GTX1060 6GB.

GeForce is one of the best branded GTX 1060 graphic cards.
AMD is the best branded GTX1060 you noob.

I hate it when the people share wrong information on a public forum.

nVidia RX480 is the best though.

Best GPU is intel RX1060. It runs supercool and silent. performance on dx12 is also awesome.

Dx12 is already outdated. If a gpu doesn't support DX13 then its useless. Not good for anything other than Soltaire and Minesweeper.

I have decided to go with HIS RX480 8GB Iceq X2 Roaring Turbo @ 21900 + VAT

Not a good brand choice, just like Gainward last time.

you clearly never heard of Patanjali GTX 1060, it runs on coconut oil, and provides 69 fps in all games

There's a custom gau-mutra cooled version also. Heard it runs at around 40 degrees on load.
