Thank you so much for this and the previous video currently building a computer with 8gb ddr4 kingston xfury ram the pny 1060 6gb and a 15 6600 this really helped finalize my choice of graphics card

Pretty good job. Thanks a lot for all your tips. Personnaly I don't make any OC. No fear for overheating on my PNY GTX 1060 6GB but I don't need to OC this GPU for my 1920x1080 screen. I've done almost the same fan curve like you with Afterburner. For those who are interested in my BIOS version : this is the 86.06.45.00.8D. No Fan on idle. All the best from France !

I bought the PNY 6GB. Core +200 Memory +500, never goes above 68 degrees with my custom fan curve. Got it for 236 including shipping and tax from jet.com. Great card, replaced my gtx 750ti sc, which is also a great card for the price.

Great 970 vs 1060 benchmark. There's really no need for me to upgrade my 970 just yet. Hopefully the 1070 will be $200 in 2018 lol

Just curious, does the PNY 1060 fan stay off when idle?
@periodicinsanity
8 жыл бұрын
Yeah no kidding, here's hoping that AMD's Vega cuts down some prices on the top end. And yes, the fan is off at idle. I *think* thats the standard now for every cooler that isn't 1-fan or a blower style.

could have sworn i replied to this, sorry apparently i goofed. yeah the pny card at default settings will stay off. at 10% or lower fan power the fan isn't running according to afterburner. my own fan curve is a little more aggressive to get it back down to idle quicker, hate seeing a card idle at ~40c because the fans shut off early but they all do it...

Hi :) thanks for the great videos (Part 1 and 2). Just a quick question, I can find a deal (after heavy discount) on the PNY/Palit GTX 1060 6GB for around USD 190 with 3-year warranty while an used ASUS TURBO OC GTX 970 with about 2-year warranty for around USD 160-170. Should I pull the trigger and go for the 1060? Thanks
@johnvang5581

If you can find a used EVGA 970 go for that instead. Their warranty is a lot better at backing up the buyer. 970>1060
@periodicinsanity

sorry I'm late to the question. if it's a 20-30 dollar difference, and a used 970 vs new 1060, get the 1060 6gb, it will likely last a bit longer and you have a bit longer warranty, you wont miss that 20-30 in 2-3 years when you want to upgrade anyways. You can find a 970 cheaper though, look for around 150 or less and that is a solid deal

I would recommend MSI afterburner for over clocking. it is what I use. 3dmark fire strike stress test was my main test to validate the over clock before gaming.

I just bought a gtx 1060 by pny, does overclocking it with with the values like you did, have any influence on the lifespan of the card? as long as the temp stays below 75 and I don't touch the stock voltages?
@periodicinsanity
8 жыл бұрын
It may impact the lifespan of the card, however not in any relevant way unless the temperatures or card is unstable to begin with. It could make the card last 4 years instead of 6 (in the worst case), but by then you will probably want a new card, and if it does fail you should be covered by PNY's warranty (although giving it a read is not a bad idea just to reassure yourself). If you really don't want to take any chances, even a smaller overclock will yield almost the same results, and you won't feel like you are up against the limits of the card's capabilities so much. Make sure you register with PNY to get their full warranty!

Can you comment on whether or not the fan on the PNY GTX 1060 6GB has a 0dB or fanless/passive cooling mode? I just purchased the card, and tried setting a custom fan curve, but I can't seem to get the fans to stop even when the card is idling on or below 40C. They continuously spin at roughly 800 RPM during general PC usage and when idle.
@periodicinsanity
7 жыл бұрын
Yeah mine stops and goes passive, spins for a second on pc power on and then it stops spinning at idle. Might try at default settings without the OC program running to see if it could just be the software being goofy? I think at 10% fan speed/power and below on mine the fans stop IIRC.
@TimGonzales

Weird. Yeah, if you could try to run it at default settings without OC to see if the fans keep spinning, that'd be helpful. As an aside, how long ago did you get the card? Could it be the BIOS version is different on my card from a new batch? The BIOS version reported in Windows for my card is 86.6.e.0.71 - is your PNY GTX 1060 6GB BIOS version the same?
@TimGonzales
7 жыл бұрын
Interestingly, I emailed PNY tech support and they said that the fans continuously run on their GTX 1060 6GB model. Would appreciate if you could run it at default settings to see if 0dB is only possible with a custom fan curve. Do you think there's any other reason why I can get the fans to stop during idle, despite creating a custom fan curve in Afterburner? Could it be the BIOS version?
@periodicinsanity
7 жыл бұрын
It could be bios version, I disabled afterburner and turned it off and my fan still is not running until I applied load. I know when I start up the graphics card BIOS version pops right up (first thing actually before mobo BIOS) Using GPU-Z It says I have version 86.06.0E.00.3A . On my next restart I will take a pic of the screen and make sure that is what is displayed as well. Nvidia driver right now for me is 372.70 Win10 64 bit. First time I installed it I remember the fan turning off at BIOS and at desktop under idle. IDK what is going on with yours.
@TimGonzales

Ok, differing BIOS versions is probably the culprit. GPU-Z reports 86.06.0E.00.71 for my card, same as the Windows report. That's the only thing I can think of making my fans stop spinning when idle. And yeah, I get the GPU BIOS version on boot as well; I'll take a pic of the screen to confirm too. Thanks so much for replies! Been really helpful.

@periodicinsanity

No they don't bottleneck each other at all. It seems pretty well matched for games. Obviously faster GPU or CPU might increase FPS, but it wouldn't be because the other now is not bottlenecked, it would be because the one I replace has more speed.
