TaktLwG 73 Steinhoff Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Happy new year gents, i want to upgrade my computer. Atm I have a 750 2gb, but I want something better. A colleague who knows a great deal about hardware said for my price range, a 1060 would be the best choice. Later he took a look inside my rig and said only a Zotac GTX 1060 Mini would fit in (hard cables are in the way). Now my question is, where are the differences between the normal GTX 1060 and the Mini, and if there are differences between these two minis: http://m.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/6GB-ZOTAC-GeForce-GTX-1060-Mini-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail-_1114013.html And https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01KKJAJM4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1483286787&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gtx+1060+mini+zotac Since there are 40€ difference, it would be interesting to know. I'm sorry but I'm not very good in this hardware stuff, so don't wonder if some questions here may be stupid:D Thanks in advance gentlemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migo Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The cheaper one is a 3GB model. Take the 6GB one from Mindfactory. The mini version has the same performance as the standard version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerg Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Only real difference if specs are the same is (potential) overclocking room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaktLwG 73 Steinhoff Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 I don't think I'll overclock but here are the other specs: i5 4460 3.2 ghz; 16gb RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The CPU might be too slow to unleash the full potential of that card. With NTTR aka 2.x it does get better tho through to DX11 using 2 cores itself. Get a "K" next time ;) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
