EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB SC GAMING ACX 2.0

NVIDIA leaves no doubts about who has a leading position in graphics cards market. Following the spectacular success of the high-end GeForce 1080 and 1070 series models, this graphics card is a great choice for gamers, who want to play at a resolution of up to 2560 × 1440 pixels, and that is the main aim of GeForce GTX 1060.

Key features

• New Pascal architecture with 16nm manufacturing process
• Low power consumption - only a 6-pin connector is required for power
• Ideal for gaming experiences in QHD and Full HD resolution
• Comparable performance with the GeForce GTX 980 generation
• The card has a reference core clock rate - 1607/1835MHz
• EVGA provides non-reference quality cooling in the packaging

Energy-saving operation

Due to 16nm manufacturing technology and the new Pascal architecture, the manufacturer promises not only noticeably higher performance but a much higher efficiency. Expected power consumption is therefore only 120W, while comparable cards, such as GTX 980, required up to 165W for their operation.

Advanced technical parameters

EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB offers high-performance provided by 1152 CUDA cores, 72 texturing and 48 rendering units. The Pascal GP106 core overclocks up to 1,708MHz in Boost Mode. The graphics chip is complemented by 3 GB of GDDR5 memory with 192GB/s data bandwidth.

Improved cooler by EVGA

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 is equipped with an advanced ACX 2.0 cooler, which is quieter and provides better cooling than the reference cooler. One 6-pin connector will handle the power supply.
