Is there any ETA on the ACX3.0 models?

No ETA just yet. We have not listed the Dual fan models on the website yet, just shown how they will look. The release time is still TBD.

It's interesting because the GTX 1060 is about 72% of the GTX 1070 but costs so much cheaper. Compare this to the GTX 960, which was 65% and relatively cost more expensive.

 
not 72%, a 1060 tested here did 1621 for a heaven 4.0 score. my own 1070 pushed 2634 clocked. even pushing a 1060 to 1800 clocked if it's possible means a 1070 is 46% more card and if 1800 isn't possible we're looking at a 62% gain over 1621

what the 1060 is, is about 100 points more than a mildly clocked 970. if it can hit 1800 we would be at +250 points on this benchmark
 
stock 970s did 1400-1430ish, moderately clocked was mid 15s 
 
1060 is a great deal as it outperforms the 970 in every way and ties a 980 in many, it just isn't close to a 1070 by quite a lot. the 1070 is performing similar to the 980ti

Non SC: http://www.evga.com/produ...6G-P4-6161-KR_XL_7.jpg
 
You can see there is a clear difference in the heatsink being used. The SC has dense perpendicular fins, the non SC has got a simple circular radial design.

I'd like to know if this is actually the case or just some mock up cooler on the other card?
 
Is the cooler the same on both versions?

Has anyone read/seen a review where they compared the Non-SC version and the SC version? I ordered the regular version from Newegg yesterday thinking the only difference was just that the SC was clocked higher, but if the cooler is different and it will have a decent impact on heat/noise/performance I will return that one and wait it out.

Yes the cooler is different. There are dual heatpipes + more copper on SC. Temp difference is about 10C. You may see a few reviews comparing the difference soon.

So no ETA on 1060 SC gaming ? :-(

I guess the SC version is worth the extra then.

Just wondering Jacob, I've not heard any confirmation yet, but is the heatsink/heatpipes/copper the exact same in the GTX 1060 SC and the GTX 960 SC?
