The asking price of £300 for this card is undoubtedly steep given that GTX 1060 pricing starts at £230 – that's a 30 percent increase. Clearly, MSI is asking a lot of its customers and the GTX 1060 Gaming X, much like the GTX 1060 Strix OC, is not positioned as a bang per buck card.

Nice presentation, easy to install. Perfect delivery

Nvidia started by making an excellent performing GPU with the GTX 1060. MSI further improves the graphics card by adding the excellent cooling performance of the Twin Frozr. If you want a great gaming card that can handle 1080p, the Gaming X is a great choice. No SLI though! qq

Excellent Everything! Performance, Build Quality, Aesthetics, Overclocking, Cooling, etc; Huge fan of what Nvidia is doing with Fast Sync

No SLI!?! =

If you are sold on the GTX 1060 and plan to buy one, it's safe to say the Gaming X 6G will be one of the better ones available. We make this claim based on our experience with the card, as well as its big-brother GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G. It's a top-notch package.

Brawny performance for a midrange video card; Easily overclocked; Very good software and physical design

Expensive among GTX 1060 partner cards; Card is much bigger than Founders Edition; Availability limited at debut; Like other GTX 1060s, no SLI support

Speedy delivery, competitive pricing, good customer service communication. Would buy again from novatech.

As you might expect, the MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G is going to outperform a card that comes with lower baseline core clock speeds, even if they are at the top end of the Gaming App range of speeds by default.

Factory overclocked; Twin Frozr VI cooling; Low to no noise; VR Ready; Gaming App; Pricing; MSI Gaming APP

SLI not supported

Not had any problems at all. Good performance. Seems to remain stable over 60fps in the 1080 resolution on virtually everything at the moment. Do, however, the price huh little too juicy, and they remain well to see how they will keep going forward.

Now that the GeForce GTX 1060 video card has officially launched, we're bracing for the onslaught of custom boards created lovingly by Nvidia's partners. The first in our hands is an MSI card with its overclocked and well-cooled GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G ($369.99). Nothing major has changed in the GTX 1060 version from the GeForce GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G board we also reviewed, except for the tiny graphics-chip heart beating within the card's metal exoskeleton. So this review will be a bit shorter than if we were examining this particular species for the first time. Just looking at the card, you can tell the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G ($369.99 at Newegg) has a lot in common with its big brother. The two cards look pretty much identical. Both video cards sport a sweet-looking red/black color scheme, along with the company's Twin Frozr VI dual-fan design with LED highlights. The logo on the edge of the card is RGB-lit and can be customized, but the red LEDs on the fan blades are just...

The Gaming X 6G is a finely tuned version of the GTX 1060 that tops AMD's Radeon RX 480 in most tests (and Nvidia's own Founders Edition GTX 1060, too) right out of the box.
