If you ever wanted to experience AAA gaming on a laptop, then the lowest GPU to gun for is the GTX 1060. This card is an absolute beast, especially if you only plan on gaming in 1080p (Full HD). Actually, it might very well be the endpoint of 1080p gaming as it can run almost all modern games in high to ultra high settings in constant 60fps at that resolution. Now, the next question is how much would you have to shell out to experience this kind of gaming bliss? Well, we’ll help you with that as we list down the most affordable GTX 1060 Laptops in the Philippines.
Author’s Note: List is arranged by price from lowest to highest. Shops listed aren’t the only ones that carry the unit but is quite possibly the one that priced it the lowest. Links to store listings are included.
Before we get to the list we have to address the fact that the GTX 1060 has two variants, one with 3GB of VRAM and one with 6GB of VRAM. While this doesn’t affect performance in a major way, the 6GB variant has roughly only a 5% performance gain, some games do make use of more than 3GB of VRAM. Although, those games are still quite a few and the 3GB variant will still be able to run them, just not as smoothly as the 6GB.
