Tomorrow I will upgrade my GTX 960 to a GTX 1060 GB.

I would like to choose one of these 2 models :
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce 2 OC 6GB
gv-n1060wf2oc-6gd

OR

Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC
dual-gtx1060-o6g


http://www.cel.ro/placi-video/placa-video-asus-geforce-gtx-1060-dual-oc-6gb-ddr5-192bit-pMiA2MjMt-l/

Both cards use a 6 pin power connector and my 550W Antec PSU has two 6 pin power connectors but it lacks an 8 pin connector and I would rather not use an adapter for a card that requires an 8 pin power connector.

The Gigabyte Windforce is 25$ cheaper(1299 RON vs 1399 RON)
I will only use the OC mode but not going to OC above that.

Thank you for the advice. I got the Gigabyte Windforce. Tested for 30 minutes with Furmark. Max temperature reached was 75 Celsius and the fan was pretty quiet at 60% which means in games will run cooler.
I'm happy with it.
