Question 1

What exactly does it mean by OC? does this mean that it is capable of OC or is OC by default? I'd rather have a long lasting card than an OC'd card.

Accepted Answer

Yes generally speaking OC means its overclocked in the box.  Pretty much 95% of the cards available run higher than the base clock set by Nvidia.  I find during gaming this card stays below 45c when running at max setting and 1080p.  I have run the card further overclocked by another 150mhz or so with a custom fan profile and hit 73c after about an hours worth of a stress test.  For reference my old gtx 460 OC is still running fine, but just isn't capable of gaming consistently at 1080p.

Question 2

I notice the "VR Ready" emblem/logo disappears from the product picture up top when selecting this model as opposed to the "gaming" model. From what I see in the product description and comments I browsed - it is VR Ready as well?

Accepted Answer

Not sure why VR Ready doesn't show on this model; even at stock the 1060 exceeds the current minimum baseline for VR - which is essentially a GTX970 for the Rift or Vive per their (current) minimum recommendations.  This particular 1060 model is overclocked a tad too, sufficiently exceeding the current min VR spec, even though it's more basic for its cooling/fan operation/stock speeds compared to the gaming version.

Question 3

does this graphics card supports directx 12?

Accepted Answer

According to the Nvidia GeForce website and the box it came in, yes.

Question 4

So, I was thinking on buying a 4k monitor and I have this card. I was wondering if this card can support 2160p monitors and output video at full 2160p instead of just 1080 on a 4k monitor?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can. I have a 4k tv.  I use this card to game in native 4k on it. (WoW/SWTOR mind you, this card isn't fast enough for the majority of cutting edge games in native 4k and games like Battlefront I either need to choose between 4k on medium or 1080p upscaled to 4k on ultra) For 4k video however, it is a piece of cake.  I watched Warcraft and Pacific Rim in native 2160p @ 60hz and it was stunning.

Question 5

it says this only supports 2 monitors, is that true? i thought it should support 3

Accepted Answer

I just did some research and it currently looks like it can only handle two.  Maybe they might update the drivers in the future for 3 monitor support.

Question 6

Is this better then the armor?

Accepted Answer

The Armor is better. It has slightly better cooling, but IMO not worth the price difference.

Question 7

Now it says "This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked'' does that mean that this item will most likely not be restocked?

Question 9

Do you have an estimate time when the card will be back in-stock? I have already signed up for the auto notify.

It took about a week before it was available for me.  It notified me and I purchased my card almost immediately.  Be prepared and buy the card as soon as your notified.  After I purchased this card, it went out of stock a hour later.
