Equipped with 2 pure copper heat-pipes and 90 mm unique-blade fan with 3D active functionality, and heat pipes direct touch technology, the cooler can dissipate heat effectively from the GPU while keeping the fan at lower speed and noise.
Cooling System-Fan
Unique Blade Fan Design
The airflow is spilt by the triangle fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the air flow by 23% over traditional fans.
3D Active Fan
The semi-passive fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle.
Cooling System- Heat Pipes
Composite heat-pipes
The composite heat-pipes combines both thermal conductivity and phase transition for efficiently managing the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces which increases 29% of cooling capacity.
Heat Pipe Direct Touch
The pure copper heat pipes are shaped to maximize the direct contact area to the GPU.
Compact Card Size
Measuring merely 17cm in length, the card, perfectly compatible for building most of the PCs from ATX to mini-ITX.
One-click Super overclocking
With a simple click on XTREME engine utility, gamers can easily tune the card to meet their various gaming requirements without any overclocking knowledge, while saving the hassle of manual adjustment.
Ultra Durable Graphic Components
Engineered with the highest-grade chokes and capacitors, this graphic card delivers outstanding performance and durable system lifespan.
Personally I went 480 (and got for a lot less than this), but really just depends which you can get for the best price. This is still a good price.

would this be worth the upgrade from a 4gb 680? or am i just better off saving of 1080?

It's much faster than a GTX 680, I would also consider the 1070 though it's double the price.

Currently the best performance for price. This and the 480

This seems to be the 3gb version guys
The product code is usually the most reliable part of the spec: GV-N1060IX-3GD
That's the 3gb model. I think Amazon have made a spec mistake.
edit: the picture also seems to be 3gb, check the bottom left
Also, I don't think Gigabyte do a non-overclocked version of this card in 6gb format, only 3gb

I think you are right mate, there is no 6gb version of this card that is not the oc version
I have the OC 6gb version, it is a very good card can push it quite far with an overclock and its not too loud
