Gtx 1060 6 gb

Hello,

I can't discern a difference between the 1060 6GB single fan and the 1060 6B mini? Their physical dimensions (and technical specifications) are essentially the same. Just some talk about hows the minis run a little hotter and may be a little louder. Does that pertain t both single fan and mini?

Also, the Zotac 1060 seems to run cheaper than the EVGA 1060? Any "real" differences among manufacturers of the same card/chipset?

Some cards will have a more conservative fan mode than others, plus the ability to turn their fan off entirely (ideal if you like a quiet PC when working). Others are clocked slightly higher, so be aware that this could generate more noise and heat!

Also, some GPU manufactures have better MOSFET cooling than others, which is pretty important, especially on cards of a smaller nature (single fan).

Hope this helps.

At Amazon they offer comparison listing. I marked with red what is important or different (not always good!). It's a jungle out there-so many choices. But I use the total purchases/rating info as definitely a guide.
