Pros: -An incredible value for the money. -It's small and easy to fit in ANY case. -Handles every game I've thrown at it like it was nothing. -Low power requirements -Good cooling once paired with the EVGA Precision X fan control software (See other thoughts)

Cons: -At the time of writing this the Nvidia driver still seem young. -I don't like having extra software running in the background but the EVGA fan software seems a necessary evil at this point. -Nowhere near as future proof as its big brothers but that is to be expected -Cannot run this little guy in SLI. Thought it might be fun to get it a brother Ha!

Overall Review: -Anyone in need of a quick replacement/upgrade I strongly recommend this card. -As I mentioned, you're going to want to download the fan control software called Precision X from EVGA. Without it the temps started creeping up around 70c+ before the fan really started kicking in. With PX you can set your own fan curve to keep temps downs before they get high. Also, I've found that, if possible, turning on v-sync in games seems to keep temps down a tad. After creating a fan curve, Fallout 4, modded to kingdom come on ultra and its getting 55-60 FPS at 56c - 63c.

Pros: Small and compact - fits in many cases. Low power requirements. Stock heat dissipation is good. Easily overclockable. PLENTY of power for todays games at a mix of Ultra / high settings @ 60fps.

Cons: Doesn't wash my dishes. Had to use a rebate to bring the price down [I hate rebates] 3gb* of video memory [seriously, for 1080p gaming that is plenty. If you are hitting your limits, just adjust textures down a notch. It's VERY rare that you will max out 3gb of memory at 1080p for MAX settings. 1440p might be a different story, but again just adjust things down from 100% max settings to 85% max and you should be fine.

Overall Review: I loaded up MSI afterburner for some testing. Allows you to set power limit to +116% and adjust thermal limits. I was hitting 85C while stress testing at 100% load, but core was still a steady 1700mhz. I removed the cooling solution and applied some Arctic MX-2 thermal paste to the GPU die and memory. After adjusting the fan profile, I was able to peak at 1985mhz and hold a steady 1911mhz @ 80C after several minutes of stress testing. Basically, I was hitting HIGHER than the SC version of this cards rated speeds after applying $5 worth of thermal compound.

Pros: 192-bit memory interface 3 GB of RAM Small card that will fit in almost any case No power connectors Fan only spins when it gets hot

Cons: Wish it has 4 GB RAM, but that is a more expensive card

Overall Review: I'm playing games in Linux Mint 18.1 like Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max. Everything can be cranked up almost to the max. I only had to turn down anti-aliasing and texture filtering. Otherwise, it runs GREAT!

Pros: Upgraded from a GTX 460 and it really is night and day. Amazing that with less power this card is so fast! Running all my 1080p games at over 60fps without breaking a sweat. I was going to get an RX480 because I didn't want to go over the $200 mark, but since they weren't available when I saw this I jumped on the opportunity and dont regret it. By the time I buy a 4k monitors the next generation graphics cards will be able to handle the games and VR much better anyways so figure this is a good in between.

Cons: Been running a temp monitor on my system while playing games and it does reach 81c while gaming. When I turn VSYNC on the card works less and doesn't go past 65c on the games(How powerful this card is), but without vsync on when I was first wanting to see what it could do it would reach 81c and stay there. I know the fan and card are smaller but not sure about the long term for someone who games alot, where a larger cooler may help. I don't do much gaming anymore and as such it will spend most of it's time idling.

Overall Review: Overall perfect for my needs, will watch the temps but great improvement from what I had. Registered the card to make sure to get my warranty in case of any issues and look forward to having this card for a few years.

Pros: Performant beastie in a small form factor.

Cons: Gets hot stock

Overall Review: Download EVGA's control software and change the fan profile so that the fan is on at 0 load. If you want something quiet, get another card.

Pros: Excellent price for the performance. Does great in all the games I tested. The 3GB of VRAM is not as bad as it sounds. At 1440p, tested some of the heaviest hitters, though not completely maxed and still didn't use it all up. W3 got the biggest hit, mostly maxed was into high 50s to mid 60s but took a drop in the towns as to be expected, down to around 45ish but still very playable. In D2 it rarely dropped below 60 FPS and mostly hovered around high 70s with only AA disabled and DOF set to low. Other titles, it traded blows with my old 390x. Some wins, some losses depending on the situation. Temperature is great, fan maxed, 72C was the highest I saw at a bit above average room temperature with usage pegged at 100%. Considering the price and target market for this card, I'm very glad to see that the fan uses ball bearings. Very smol card, shorter than an average banana, would be a good choice if your case is short on space. As far as video cards go, this one is adorable.

Cons: Nothing to report.

Overall Review: I got this card to temporarily replace my 390x that decided to start hanging out with dodos and then bought the farm a few weeks ago. After researching, this card was right around what I wanted to spend to get up and going again at a similar frame rate. I am definitely impressed for what it offers at this price point and very satisfied with the performance. It will be my new backup card as soon as I figure out if I'm going to buy into a 1080 TI or wait and see what next year brings. I like that the Nvidia control panel is laid out in a professional, quick and easy to use manner. I don't care for fancy layouts that are annoying to navigate. As for EVGA, this is the second product of theirs that I bought. I have heard good things and the PSU I got last year is holding up just fine so decided to test them out for video cards. So far so good.

Pros: - Works very well and can handle graphic-intensive games easily. - Can handle most games with high graphics without sacrificing much FPS. - Came in a well packaged box with bubble wrap and an anti-static bag. - It looks nice and can fit in with just about any color scheme.

Cons: - It only has one fan on the side of it versus other model which has two fans.

Overall Review: - I would recommend this to people who want really good graphics without blowing their budget on a GTX 1070 or a GTX 1080.

Pros: Awsome performance for the price

Cons: Had a overheating problem, removed old thermal paste and applying new fixed it. I would have have it 5 egg rating if I didnt

Overall Review: I'm a big AMD fan but the price and availability pointed me towards this 1060. The 3gb of vram sounds low but if your only gonna use a regular 1080 monitor it's enough to run smoothly.
