Great video card. This card is an older version that works well in the HP Z420 Graphics computer which uses a xenon processor. With this card and the HP Z420, you are able to play 98 percent of all games at a fraction of the cost. The HP Z420 uses server memory which is much cheaper and much faster than regular memory. Therefore you can game online without breaking the budget.

This card runs a little better than ok. The graphics quality is really good during EVE-Online (set to max settings), Star Wars Old Republic, and Elite Dangerous on 3 24" LED screens. I am disappointed that this card generates so much more heat (to the point that my PC is alarming) than the 2x GT 740's I use to run. I have an Antec 900 ATX case with 4x 120mm fans and 1x 200mm fan all running on high settings. I should have gone with a GTX 1070 or 1080 (now that prices are starting to come down a bit). With the dual fans (or even the Hybrid model) these cards will dissipate heat better than the single fan cards.

price vs performance it's hard to beat a 1060 right now and the compact size opens up some great build configurations that would otherwise be limited in rendering performance. it should be mentioned that EVGA is a top end brand and the 6gb version is well worth the extra few dollars

The EVGA, SC, while not the fastest 1060, it does the job well in a tight HTPC case. Plays Jedi Fallen Order with Medium-ish settings decently but the small heat sink means louder fan but I got it for a familly HTPC gaming PC for multiplayer games that require more power than a basic card but don't need higher mid-range cards. I can always stream from my real gaming PC for the heavy stuff.

Many folks believe the 3gb version of the 1060 isn't worth getting, but I don't agree. It's true that it has a fewer cores and generally runs about 5(ish) percent off the 6gb 1060's, but it's barely noticeable IMHO. I've only had a handful of instances where the 3gb has limited me (ghost recon wildlands). And usually reducing the settings (at 1080p) from ultra to very-high has made the difference in vram usage. And as most of you know, a drop from ultra to very-high is barely perceptible to most of us. And certainly worth the lower price of the 3gb cards vs the 6gb cards as far as I'm concerned. At the time of writing this review, that difference was roughly $40 on average in the used market. Now, is the card worth it compared to a full fat 8gb RX580 which can be had for essentially the same price? Probably not. I needed the 1060 because it was supported by the ancient legacy bios in my LAN rig, where the RX580 needed a UEFI bios. Otherwise I would have certainly gone for the AMD based card. Of course, the 1060 also runs considerably cooler as it draws less wattage which is always nice. Overall, anyone running 1080p in the middle of 2019, wanting to run most modern games at high/very-high and even ultra settings will be well served by this quiet running, low power draw, very affordable little card.
