Been running it almost daily.

Zero issues so far, and i've been running it almost daily! Playing Diablo 4 on ultra settings.
Good balance between performance and price. Works great with Ubuntu 18.04

I needed a decent card to drive my 27" 4K display on my Ubuntu Linux system while working from home that would also give me decent FPS in Steam (and would be delivered in a reasonable amount of time). Against my better judgement, I'd tried a Radeon-based card beforehand and it was an incompatible nightmare.
There are cheaper cards out there, but the ZOTAK had the GPU I wanted and a lot more RAM than some of the other options.
Installation was overall pretty simple. Pull the old card, drop in the new one and hook up the PCIE power cable. I highly recommend that you use at least a 650 or 750 watt supply. I had a Corsair 750 watt supply on my parts shelf that I installed at the same time and when I fired the system up, I was impressed that I didn't hear a lot of fan noise.
I like to use the official Nvidia drivers since they usually have better management utilities and better performance. After setting the system to use the "multi-user.target", I followed their installation procedure to blacklist the nouveau kernel modules and installed their drivers.
After rebooting, the system went back to the default "graphical.target" and things just worked from there on.
I did some testing with Kerbel on Steam and the display was crisp, clean and had a decent frame rate. I didn't notice any extra fan noise and verified that the card continued to run cool. The two large fans do a nice job moving air while making minimal noise.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the card. It gives a reasonable balance between price and performance and has been trouble free so far..

Needed an upgrade for my old pavillion that wasnt made for gaming at all. From being barely able to play minecraft, i can now play at max settings. Gta 5 maxed out on ultra at 1080p is reaching over 90fps. All other games like peoject cars, asseto corasa, just cause 3, mafia 2, etc... plays 60fps no problem at 4k resolution. Happy with this graphics card and wont need another one anytime soon.
Muy buen articulo

Nvidia's 10 Series stepchild
GeorgeFromRo✓ Verified Purchase•December 24, 2023
-- UPDATE -- almost 2 years later the card was used for gaming almost daily (avg about 1-2 hrs mostly for war thunder and some fortnite). In between I did a deep cleaning of my case vacuuming the dust. Card is quiet as in the first day, no heating issues and running rock solid. I think in all this time I can count on the fingers from one hand how many times I had to hard reboot the machine due to issues (not sure if they were graphic card related). Also I'm still amazed that I paid less than what it is asked today. Guess I will keep the card until prices come to 'normal'...
I was saving and aiming for a RX470 but I was not ready to pay over $200 for it and then I was not ready to pay $250 (if you can find one today) for a 6GB GTX 1060 either... so I had to settle for this one.
This is the stepchild of Nvidia's 10 Series (Pascal), which compared to 6Gb version has obviously half the RAM, 1152CudA cores vs 1280, and 72 TAUs vs 80, same base frequency 1506MHz and same TPD 120W. I think this card should have been named "GTX 1060 LE"!
Received the card in the original box with just my address printed in a corner, dropped by the door! Wow - Amazon, did you really shipped a $200 item in original box so everyone can see what is waiting at my door?!?
-- CONTENT & INITIAL SETUP --
The box content it is plain simple: video card, no cables or drivers cd! I guess to keep the costs low or because there will be people asking "why a CD nowadays when I use only USB drives!?". I'm buying a video card, I want it to be as cheap as possible! I will use my internet connection to download needed and latest drivers (if they have made a CD/USB drive I bet it will not be latest drivers and you will still head out to official nVidia site!). Some people complained because they had no internet connection and could not download the driver! Really?!? In this case this card will use some generic drivers and since you don't have an internet connection I assume you have a 800x600 CRT monitor and it will work! (just jk...)
I replaced my aged GTX 650 with this one and restart the computer, then installed the driver and ready to roll. Used GPU-Z to monitor and started War Thunder, set graphics on "Cinema" and AA to 8x and went on to some quick dog fights :) - sorry APA, it is not about animals but war planes!
I used to get about 60FPS with old card and settings were on "medium", now I'm getting about 75FPS on average but the image it is really "Cinema". I checked the max temp and it was 82C which seemed a bit on the high side to me, but the good part is the video card fan was pretty quiet @82. Then I read a review where someone used EVGA Precision to control the card, I tried that but it was asking me for an account and EVGA product, so a no go, but on Zotac's website I found their FireStorm utility -> small (just one exe file), fast and simple to use!
-- PERFORMANCE --
I tested performance on my computer with AMD FX8320 on ASUS m5A99X EVO board with 16Gb RAM running Windows 10 (64bit) and I used Geeks Furmark at 1080p with AA set at 8X and ran it for 15 minutes to get an average of 35 FPS (minimum 29FPS). My old card was getting about 16FPS with minimum anti-aliasing.
Then from FireStorm monitoring (card's default settings) I found that
* GPU Core Clock: min 139, max 1911
* GPU Memory Clock: min 202.5, max 2003.4
* GPU Temp: min 27C, max.83C
* Fan Speed: 50%(~1500rpm) - 75% (~2250rpm)
At idle GPU temp is around 36C with fan speed at 50%.
In FireStorm by default max GPU temp target it is set at 82C; I guess if I'm not happy with that I can lower it and fan speed will go past 75% (more noise).
-- CONCLUSION --
I think Zotac did a fine job with this small factor (mini) card trying to keep the price low; You need to register the product on their website for warranty. The only concern you may have is the "only 3Gb RAM" for the future. If this card would have 4Gb I think it would be a no-brainer over Rx 470 even RX 480 w/ 4Gb. Excellent Performance/power ratio. Personally I'm happy with the performance and I plan to hold onto it for at least 2 years. If you plan to use more than 1440p I'd suggest to look a bit higher. Price wise, if you can find Rx470 for $150, RX480 (4Gb) for $200 and GTX 1060 (6Gb) for $250 I think this card should be priced around $180.
