GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 6GB Review

Acoustic, Thermal and Power Testing

Acoustic Performance

Amazingly, this card offers a silent fan mode, and in low-load scenarios it’ll shut off completely, giving you a perfectly silent graphics card. What’s impressive is that even when we did fire up a few games and benchmarks, the fan didn’t have to kick in for quite a while. The passive cooling capabilities are very good, and even when the fan did start, it was quiet as a mouse.

Thermal Performance

The 1060 maxed out at just 68c, which is nothing really considering the card is only cooled by a single fan!

Power Usage

The card trumps the 480 again here, jusing considerably less power, despite offering similar performance in our benchmarks.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
