Question 1

How well does this work for 3D renders?

Accepted Answer

I have the GTX 960 in another computer and I haven't seen any problems rendering 3D projects.  I've made 3D games, graphics, videos and it's pretty awesome.  But keep in mind, it's not all video card when it comes to performance.  The machine as a whole contributes quite a bit of power when it comes to rendering: CPU, graphics card, memory, solid state drive (hopefully) etc.

Question 2

Question 3

do i need any other cables other than a 6pin to 8-pin Adapter?

Accepted Answer

No, the GTX 1060 only needs a single  8-pin PCI power cable.  I think my power cable is a 6+2 cable, but it works fine.

Question 4

Would a 500 watt power supply be good enough for this card?

Accepted Answer

I'm using a 600 watt and it runs fine so I think it would be fine.

Question 5

What is the AMD equivalent of this card? reason for asking is my monitor is free sync only and i want the free sync abilities.

Accepted Answer

Amd rx 480 4gb or rx 580.

Question 6

Is this compatible with the Intel core i5 7400 3.0 Ghz processor?  Sorry if this is a dumb question, still learning! Thanks!

Accepted Answer

yes it is compatible.  Compatibility has to do with the OS (operating system) that you run.  Windows 10 or 7 work just fine with this card.

Question 7

Compatible with a Corsair CX430 PSU?

Accepted Answer

Yup . As long as it has an 8pin vga cable your good  to go

Question 8

What power supply should i use with this card?

Accepted Answer

this depends on your computer. most review websites will list their test system specs, and load power draw of the video card in the review. you want a power supply that has twice the load rating, as power supplies are most efficient at 50% load. so, if the review website has a similar computer to yours and lists 275w load power draw, you should get a power supply rated for 550 watts, at least. (probably just round up to 600w in that case).

Question 9

Does it come with a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter?

Accepted Answer

I don't think so, i didn't get one

Question 10

is this worth it? considering for example msi 1060 gaming x 6g 6gb is a little more. around the same clock rates but more vram. is it gonna make that much of a difference?

Accepted Answer

The 6gb actually has more cuda cores than the 3gb, so there is a decent difference
