GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE 3G

NVIDIA leaves no room for doubt about who has the leading position in graphics cards. Following the spectacular success of the high-end GeForce 1080 and 1070 series models, a dream card is coming to light for gamers, for whom playing at a resolution of up to 2,560 × 1,440p is more than enough. This is the main domain of the GeForce GTX 1060.

Key features of the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060

• New Pascal architecture with 16nm production process
• Low power consumption - a 6-pin connector is enough for power supply
• Ideal for gaming experiences in QHD and Full HD resolution
• Comparable performance with the GeForce GTX 980 generation
• The card uses the referentially clocked core - 1,531 / 1,746MHz
• GIGABYTE adds quality high-cooling with 2 large-sized fans

The power efficiency of the Pascal core

With the 16nm production technology and the new Pascal architecture, the manufacturer boasts not only noticeably higher performance but much more efficiency. Expected consumption is therefore only 120W, but its power is comparable with the GTX 980 which required up to 165W for its operation.

Advanced GeForce GTX 1060 technical parameters

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE 3GB offers power represented by 1 152 CUDA cores, 80 texturing and 48 rendering units. The used GP106 core of the Pascal series is running at a rate of 1,746MHz in Boost mode. The graphics chip has 3GB of GDDR5 memory with a 192GB/s data bandwidth.

Game Edition from GIGABYTE

The tuned Pascal chip from GIGABYTE is virtually boosted to its maximum. This is only possible because of the high-quality cooling. This is taken care of by a very large and densely ribbed cooler which is fanned by a pair of silent fans. This technology is called Windforce 2X and will definitely not let you down in any games with overclocking.
