    Very nice deal on a very nice card.. :) best bang for buck product on the Aussie market for sure. Also great for ITX cases that want the heat blown outside the case on an already low powered low heat graphics card.

      You betcha!

      With these new nVidia cards, new PSU's, and new/cheaper ssd's hitting the market.
      I think whoever builds a new gaming rig will have something powerful and relevant for a many years.
      Dear I say, enough to challenge the PS5 and NeXtBOX.

    • vid_ghost on 11/08/2016 - 09:18

      For those interested in the cooling heat sink/fan on this 1060 graphics card here's what i could find.

      It looks like its the same Nvidia Reference Blower (maybe revised) that was released alongside the GTX 960 - Both 960 and 1060 share the same TDP of 120w

      http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-review… Sound and heat looks fine for a blower design its one of the better ones.

  • brent3000 on 10/08/2016 - 21:14

    Really wanted to get another Leadtek, but took too long to bring out the non stock models, ended up getting the Strix purly due to availability,

    Great brand of cards tho, my last one lasted almost 5 years or so :)

    • vid_ghost on 10/08/2016 - 21:16

      5 years is almost the full lifespan of most graphics cards. By the 5th year a $99 low end card is about as good if you wanted a direct replacement for a broken card.

      It's usually the capacitors that go on electronics. I've fixed cards before by replacing them. But that usually happens when the card is outdated anyway.

      They used to make the best cards including the best quadro workstation cards .. looks like they still do make most of the current Nvidia quadro workstation cards :) so my guess is they at least should be reliable.. IT may not be the fastest GTX1060 on the market though.

    • leighzor on 11/08/2016 - 08:42

  • Tekuza on 10/08/2016 - 21:40

    Oh watch some reviews and I'm tempted but the only problem is I only play games at 1080p very high settings as don't plan to change my 55" for a while. Can anyone advise if it would be worth upgrading from my XFX R9?

    • psyren89 on 10/08/2016 - 21:45
      +2

      What model? If you're on a 280 or above, you should be fine.

      • Tekuza on 11/08/2016 - 13:46

        Yep I'm on the re 280x Double D. Thank you for your response. Also, that would mean I don't need to upgrade unless I'm gonna go 1440 or 4k right?

        • Rail Rider95 on 11/08/2016 - 15:43
          +1

          Games are becoming more and more intensive to run
          Take GTA V for example

          So you will need to upgrade sooner or later to maintain High 1080p at 60fps
          I'd say within the next year

        • psyren89 on 12/08/2016 - 01:33
          +1

          I'm on a 280X DD Black OC (BBQWTFROFL) and it can handle 1440p alright, but newer games which aren't super optimised will start to highlight the card's age. GTAV murdered my system (i7 3770), but games like Mad Max and Overwatch run excellently (usually above 60FPS).

  • psyren89 on 10/08/2016 - 21:44

    Wish I could get a 1070 FTW for ~$750. Nowhere in Australia currently comes close to the average US price of 1070s.

  • TheNortorious on 10/08/2016 - 21:53

    wow good find!. Would of bought this guaranteed if i haven't purchased the zotac gtx 1060 mini from newegg.com

  • Cralis on 10/08/2016 - 21:55

    Geeeee. Have a RX480 Sapphire Nitro 8 gb on order from the UK delivered for $420. I am an average gamer with a 1440 monitor. I wonder if its worth cancelling the UK 480, and switch to this. Not sure which is quicker. Help. :)

    • vid_ghost on 10/08/2016 - 22:30
      +2

      The cheaper the card the better.. this is the better deal as both cards will be around the same performance overall.. by the time 4k gaming becomes the normal.. not even a GTX1080 $1000 card will be good enough so this is a great card to use over the next 1-3 years at 1440p

      also from looking at reviews on both cards.. the GTX1060 uses 131w load while the RX480 Nitro 8GB uses 164w load. this was in most of the reviews of the ROG Strix 470 4gb i was looking at..
      the 470 Strix uses 144w.

      Grab this over the RX480 and upgrade to something better in a few years time.. win-win :) + local warranty

    • bentan77 on 10/08/2016 - 22:36

      This card should be noiser. It looks like the same recycled cooler from the GTX 670/760 and every one of those I've heard weren't quiet.

      The GTX 1060 is good itself but if you wanna upgrade it for futher gaming, you shouldn't. The GTX 1060 doesn't have a SLI function which meant you can't run 2 of GTX 1060 in your system so if i were you, RX480 is an ok choice as said 2 RX480 will out perform GTX 1080

          Local retailer does a nice exclusive deal for Ozbargainers and you knock them down. Not saying they are immune to criticism but this is a pretty sweet offer considering the other options on the market, that's only good for consumers right?

        • grb on 10/08/2016 - 22:31

          @hcetigol: Actually no.

          I've been buying computer components and electronics locally for a long time now, and I truly would rather spend my money with an Aussie business.

          BUT I see their prices are directly based upon their cheapest competitor, i.e. local prices are based upon the cheapest a customer can order & ship an item from the US. I think this is BS (even though i know; capitalism and all that).

          In reality the logistics of buying computer components in Australia is much better than the US, which should balance out the larger buying power of some of these US stores. So I will always downplay a "Bargain" which costs more than the regular US price + regular shipping.

          I guess you are simply used to being ripped off.

        • Top G on 10/08/2016 - 22:43

          @grb: There is no warranty for 90% of graphic cards purchased from the USA, the cheapest ones which you refer to are almost guaranteed to not have any product support. These are moving, hot components which have a more than minuscule chance of failure, compared to something like a keyboard.

          For prices above a certain threshold(every individuals will vary), I prefer to have rather than not have the service Australian local does provide. So as an individual I act rationally, I buy what's best value for me, I don't care about prices in the grand scheme of things because my individual circumstances govern what I choose and in this case deal maximizes that overall value package, taking into account all the factors not a binary price differential.

          As a consumer, I'm not going to do a solo protest, I have no power to and how would that make a difference. Vote with your wallet depending on prices at the time, either local or overseas.

        • grb on 10/08/2016 - 22:53

          @hcetigol: Well that's a lovely subjective appraisal. And of course we're all free to do as we please.

          In reality you can purchase from very reliable US sources with international returns and the chances of shipping damage is extremely low..

        • Top G on 10/08/2016 - 23:00

          @grb: Please enlighten me, EVGA from Amazon is the only manufacturer I would feel comfortable with and I personally have been searching for a deal on this card over the last week,best I could find was $380 for a Gigabyte from Amazon with a probable 2-3 week wait and no international support. Previously I spotted the MSI GTX1060 gaming x on ebay for $423 after 20% discount 2-3 weeks ago. In addition I was keeping my eye out on RX470, RX480 and GTX1070 deals.

          Maybe if I had family in US, otherwise I can't find any other loopholes to get the best of both worlds.

        • grb on 10/08/2016 - 23:03

          @hcetigol: I just did enlighten you; with regards to the existence of reliable US vendors.

          If you want me to enlighten you to the idea of a "Bargain" (and address all the issues you mentioned): Step 1 would be "Do not buy when demand is high".

          This is not a bargain, although it may be the best available at the time. There is a difference.

        • brotherfranciz on 11/08/2016 - 08:09

          @grb:

          Bargains are subjective. E.g. You might not place any value in a local warranty (vs an international warranty), but others may prefer it.

          Also, bargains are always based on the CURRENT price, or else most products wouldn't be a bargain since most products would get cheaper over time (or get replaced by a newer model being sold at RRP).

          As for the products that may not get cheaper over time (such as real estate), you would need to have a crystal ball to tell if something is a bargain in that particular moment in time.

  • cli on 10/08/2016 - 22:19

    Placed an order. When will it be shipped?

  • CheapBrah on 10/08/2016 - 22:21

    Very close to pulling the trigger, but as a true ozbargainer I'm concerned that Gysnc monitors cost more than Freesync monitors, should I be waiting for an AMD deal instead?

    • vid_ghost on 10/08/2016 - 22:36

    • grb on 10/08/2016 - 22:38

      With intel on board with Freesync it's only a matter of time before it's the standard. And of course Freesync are cheaper, but I wouldn't buy one without "LFC".

      And anyone who follows computer components will tell you AMD has been the performance/dollar champion for some years now, I can't see any true ozbargainer buying nVidia unless it's a great deal (which at more than $US RRP + shipping, I don't believe this is).

      • vid_ghost on 10/08/2016 - 22:45

        looking on Anazon at the moment and all the GTX1060's are $300+ US Dollars.. please find me a single GTX1060 at the RRPing .. THIS IS A GOOD DEAL at the moment full stop…

        The RX480 8Gb is the more future proof card out of the two and freesync is the better option but the RX480 at a good price is sold out everywhere.

        • grb on 10/08/2016 - 22:50
          +1

          I'd argue it's not a bargain simply because it's hard to find, even though I understand the idea of supply and demand.

          In fact I'd argue the opposite, it's obvious all finfet GPUs are popular/in short supply, so buying one now is a bad idea. And the cheapest one available right now is in no way a "Bargain" (THIS SITE'S PURPOSE) since it was cheaper a month ago and will be cheaper in one month's time..

          +2

          @grb:

          but with all PC Tech stuff.. waiting for stock or for a product to age will always produce cheaper prices.. :) a bargain today is a ripp off tomorrow when it comes to Tech gear

          +1

          @vid_ghost: Mate I completely disagree with how you're using that idea. These GPUs were cheaper on release day, and will be cheaper once supply catches up.

          You've obviously got the right idea in the long term though, which is why I'm not bashing the 1060 as a product. It's a great card for FHD @ moderate FPS. I usually tell people to avoid the top tier products which not only offer diminishing returns but also go obsolete just as fast.

  • Cralis on 10/08/2016 - 22:35

      I have the 7870 as well and I'm replacing it with a gtx 1060. Definitely not overkill. I'm getting like, ~20 FPS on DOOM on med/low settings which doesn't work well because it's a fast paced FPS

  • doublezero1 on 11/08/2016 - 07:26

    Bought something from PLE recently and they updated me with email and SMS on the order. Best thing is if a product is in stock in VIC/WA, they will send it to the WA/VIC store and you can pick it up for free. They also must be one of the few computer shops with no surcharges.
    Oh like others have said, this is a great deal for buying local. I already got the 1070 the other week from Amazon so please PLE hope you don't have a great deal on the GTX 1070 too :)

        • Ciccillo on 11/08/2016 - 09:01

          @edfoo: Yep but the future selling and buying will cost you more than just buy a second SLI graphic card.

        • edfoo on 11/08/2016 - 09:12

          @Ciccillo: I am pretty sure by the time I switch over from a 1060 to a newer gen card (1180 or 1280?), this newer gen card will perform much faster than SLI-1060 (assuming it has been designed as SLI-capable) :)

        • ThadtheChad on 11/08/2016 - 11:05

          @Ciccillo:

          Rule of thumb, always buy the best single card solution you can afford.

          Leave the SLI to folks for whom the top tier single card solution isn't enough.

          Once your 1060 gets a bit long in the tooth, get a new card in the xx60 range. Reason being, SLI-scaling is not a 2x increase. Moreover, the glitches and bugs you can encounter can be really frustrating.

          @gearhead: Sorry guys i can understand the opinions but i assume you do not get the point.This company cut a feature for marketing purposes.Because spending less money buying 2 GTX 1060 you can have pretty much the same performance of a 1080 more expensive.That was my point.Now if use or not the SLI is up to you but it should not be Nvidia decison.That s why this time and for the first time i will buy a Radeon card.

          Apologies mate. I understand where you're coming from. IMHO, I guess they didn't want to support SLI on a mid-end budget card; perhaps because it is an insignificant demographic who would be interested (and therefore not worth the effort to expend the dev resources for 1060 SLI configs).

          Here's a bit more about the testing of the 1060 in quasi SLI config:

      i think its more to do with price.. if the RX480 is the same price or cheaper its the better buy.. but at the right price. (substantially Lower Price) this card is just as good and the better buy… while the price is lower :)

      Both cards are great products .. they just have sky high pricing at the moment due to demand and stock. mid range cards shouldn't cost this much.. this is the first good aussie price i've seen for a GTX1060

      Now lets hope to see some AIB custome AMD RX480's at this price

      What will be interesting is seeing how many future DirectX12 games support the MultiAdapter function, as there are some benches out there of the 1060 "SLI"d in Ashes of Singularity showing performance of a GTX1080.
