Question 1

Can you run this card in SLI mode?

Accepted Answer

It can be run in software SLI, but it does not have hardware SLI connectors. With the GeForce 10 series, nVidia has stated that you'd be better off buying one 1070 or 1080 than two 1060s in SLI.

Question 2

What's the main difference between the single fan and the dual fan versions? If performance is the same I would assume the single fan compact version has to work harder to keep the card cool.

Accepted Answer

Cooler card with the 2 fans.  Cooler GPU temps mean better performance and no throttling.  A hot GPU will throttle and slow down...better to get the dual fan.  I have it and it outperforms my EVGA 980 SC.

Question 3

how does this perform for gaming?

Accepted Answer

Generally,  this is a good gaming card for most games at 1080.  Beyond that resolution it will likely boy down.  I use it for Fallout 4 @1080 with all maxed settings.  It is very smooth.  As usual, though your mileage may very, depending on which games you play.

It compares with a GTX 980 in frame rate with about 1/2 the power draw.

Question 4

What are the idle and gaming temps?

Accepted Answer

Mine idles around 35C and it maxes out around 65C without changing any settings. I have a smaller mid-tower case with 2 fans.

Question 5

would this fit an msi trident 3?

Accepted Answer

Hello Alan, Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question. Yes it would fit, however I highly suggest getting in contact with MSI regarding your Trident 3. Depending on your configuration it may have a protection mechanism on motherboard so max is just 230W for motherboard which may prevent you from upgrading the GPU. This is MSI's contact information.

Question 6

will this run off a micro mtx motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am currently using it in an Asrock z270m Extreme matx motherboard with no difficulties or problems.  Note that you will need to have a power connector to it from your power supply, (6 pin, I believe) to provide sufficient power to run.

Question 7

Sorry about asking this here, but I don't know where to ask this. I'm planning on making a new rig for gaming, recording gameplay, and video editing. I want to get 1080p 60+fps in games, also while recording. Will these parts do the job?:

-Intel Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

-ASRock H110M-DGS Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

-G.Skill Aegis 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

-Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

-Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB AMP! Edition Video Card

-DIYPC DIY-F2-O ATX Mini Tower Case

-EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

-Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit

-Acer S220HQLAbd 21.5" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor

Thanks anyone who answers.

You said "video editing" - this automatically means "stuff as much RAM into the machine as it can hold." I also make gameplay videos and I can fill up 16GB pretty quickly when working with 1080p60 clips. Go with AT LEAST 16GB, more if your budget allows.

Also, since you mentioned editing, I would recommend a higher-performance hard drive than WD's Blue series, which are consumer-grade drives really meant more for "typical desktop user" level performance. I purchased a 4GB WD Gold RE enterprise-rated drive for my editing work, as it is designed to handle the multiple-gigabytes-at-a-time workload typical of video editing - it's a $200 drive, but it'll run 24/7/365 for 5+ years and can handle 550TB of throughput a year, so it should outlast the PC it's in with my workload. (A busy video editor can burn through a consumer-grade hard drive's rated lifespan in about 18 months.)

FWIW I'd also up the wattage on your power supply. The key there is overhead - a 600W PSU will run cooler and more efficiently with a 300W load than a 430W PSU will, simply because it's being underutilized compared to what it's built to handle. While this might be a waste of money to some, but I try to go for at least 50% overhead on PSU ratings, more if I can do it. (I have the same processor and video card, four hard drives, and a BD-ROM burner and am running a 775W PSU on about a 350W load, so my safety margin is over double.)

Hope this helps, and feel free to ask more questions - the more you know about anything, the better you get.

Question 9

Will this fit in Alienware Graphics Amplifier?

Accepted Answer

While I do not have an Alienware Graphics Amplifier, I am familiar with them, and I own this GPU. I am almost certain that it would fit. It is not a very large card at all, and is the standard 2-slot height. I don't have any reason to believe that it would not fit.

Question 10

What's the recommended power supply i would need for this to be functional? currently i have a standard power supply of 500 watts. I'm currently upgrading my pc little by little

Accepted Answer

That depends on a number of things. If the power supply is highly efficient and the rest of your components are as well. You don't need near that much power. If you are using a lot of high powered components with a low end supply, then yes, you'll need it. Check out pc part picker for a good guide one what you should use.
