Not a fan of the Founders Edition? Custom GTX 1060s are out in force. Wanting to spend up to £300 on a shiny new GPU? AMD's Radeon RX 480 and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060 are the two latest-generation parts vying for your hard-earned cash, and though both have plenty going for them, it's the latter that comes in a wider choice of flavours.

While fans of the RX 480 patiently await a Nitro, or indeed any other custom-cooled alternative, Nvidia's army of partners has already unleashed a tidal wave of diverse GTX 1060s. All the big names are lining up to send their cards in for review - heck, we may even have to turn some away at this rate - and though retail volume remains something of a question mark during launch week, there's no shortage of non-reference designs. First on the HEXUS test bench is the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X.
