Is it worh getting the MSI GTX 1060 GAMING X+ 6G over the MSI GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G

The biggeste difference i se is that the ram and the speed is different also that the x has core name is GP106-400, the x+ with the faster ram it's GP106-410

the x has DisplayPort x 3 (Version 1.4) / HDMI (Version 2.0) / DL-DVI-D what version the x+ is i don don't know but theres the same amount of outputs

Well if it's nearly at the same price I'd get the + , why not!

You could oc the x ram to the same speed as the x+ and you won't notice any difference?

Well personally I would go with the plus because it's clocked higher from the factory.

That's just my opinion, both are good cards.

Only the ram, it's as fare as i have read a limit edition with the faster ram

What's the price difference where you live?

gasolin · May 31, 2017

19$,17€ difference

Get the one with the faster RAM if the cards are the same price. Note that you're unlikely to see any performance difference between them as this tiny clock speed increase is more of a marketing gimmick than a real performance gain. I certainly haven't seen any reviews singing the praises of it.

So why did they do it? Because they can or ?

Vya Domus · May 31, 2017

You can OC all 1060's to 9 Gbps on the memory. Also they all hit around 2050 Mhz on the core after a basic offset.

Marketing to sell more cards. Likely the faster chips were the same price for NVIDIA so why not?

gasolin · May 31, 2017

So theres nothing wrong with the non+ 8000mhz ram gtx 1060 compared to the 9000mhz ram card?

P4-630 · May 31, 2017

Whatever card you decide to buy of the two, they are both good....

No, nothing wrong with it. The "+" will not show much difference at all in games, as reviews so far have shown. If they are similar in price, get it. Otherwise it's not worth it.

Buy the cheaper one, move the clocks up a bit via MSI Afterburner. Both cards will likely go higher than the higher priced card with some tweaking.

Vayra86 · Jun 3, 2017

You're looking at 2-4% (best case) performance gain for 17 - 19 euros.

That is a very, very bad deal in terms of perf/dollar compared to the card's full price.

This, there is no performance difference you will see without synthetic benchmarks.

Bought the gaming x 6gb, it's in my pc.
Last night i talked to one i follow on twitch, he was playing grid race driver which i have, he plays it without a disc and one thing lead to another and i bought grid autosport (i mostly play older games) and the fps was just about perfect around 100) on max setting, even when i have a 3440xx1440 100hz monitor. It's extreme how silent,quiet the card is
