KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 OC 6GB Video Card Review @ Madshrimps

Here is what I would call the Zotac of Europe.  KFA2 is a brand you rarely see in the US and while I joke at the expense of Zotac the truth is KFA2 is a sub brand of Galaxy which is also loosely associated with Gainward.

Gainward, as you may know, was one of the best video card builders in the world until they were bought by Galaxy and almost instantly reduced to a name.

The GTX 1060 OC video card from KFA2 features a very solid build, while the cooling system succeeds to keep the GPU at low temperatures on high loads. In DirectX11, the card does trade punches with the RX480 and wins most of the time! Surprisingly, in DirectX12 the RX480 from AMD gains a small advantage but considering the low number of DX12 titles nowadays, we think currently this card is a better buy.

KFA2 surprises us once again with the pricing of the reviewed model; the 6GB version of the GTX 1060 OC is available for just about 259 Euros -> this makes it clearly the cheapest dual-fan custom cooled card on the market, which is also pre-overclocked from the factory.

Da Shrimps seem to really like the card and given the massive array of heatpipes shown through the branded fans I am sure the love is warranted.
