Three or six?

The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC is one of the most affordable dual-fan graphics cards based on the GTX 1060 chip, costing even less than many single-fan models. Recall that the 3 GB modification of the GTX 1060 has 1152 microcores, while the 6 GB modification has 1280. However, the difference in the number of microcores is small and is easily leveled by overclocking.

Which ear is buzzing in me?

In the case of the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT, you don’t even have to resort to manual overclocking, because it is overclocked at the factory, as evidenced by the “OS” marking. The power consumption of the graphics card is 120 W, so even with overclocking, one 6-pin power connector is enough for it (even a second-rate brand PSU will do). A couple of fans do a great job of cooling, but are far from silent. If you need complete silence, look at the similar models MSI Armor and MSI Gaming.

Justified savings

You should not worry about the GTX 1060's small amount of video memory by modern standards: large game textures are easily transferred to RAM. If the first time after the start of sales of the GTX 1060, when the amount of video memory was exceeded, there were FPS drawdowns due to bad drivers, but now everything works quickly and smoothly. As a result, a $230 graphics card can handle even the latest games at FullHD resolution at high graphics settings without any problems.
