Is there any solution for checking the memory type of the GTX 1060s I ordered before they getting them by using the model name?

I mean, yeah, just google it and look for GPU-Z screenshots or reviews of that card that might mention it.

I know for a fact the EVGA mini ITX cards (gaming and SC gaming) come with Samsung memory. You can also read here about some 1060's people received that did not have samsung memory. For example MSI 3GB could only do 18.4 mhs overclocked while EVGA 3GB are capable of 22+.

Personally I would only buy cards with samsung, especially at this point when prices are inflated. You Can't afford to pay $220 or something like that per card when they only do like 18 mhs.

Thx for the tip. I found a screenshot and seems to have Samsung, but from what I've read around they also may have Hynix.

Not sure if I should wait until new GPUs such as Vega to be released.

We have purchased identical video cards, same model, clocks etc. with different memory, so I don't think there is any 100% guarantee of what you will get.

I purchased 6x RX 580 Gigabyte Aorus at the same time and 3 of them were Hynix, 3 were Samsung. Greatly disappointed. Double the effort to optimize them.
