Product Showcase

The GeForce GTX 1060 takes advantage of Pascal 16 nm FinFet architecture, and with 4.4 billion transistors, 1,280 shader/stream cores, and 3 or 6 GB (optional) of GDDR5, it’s a rather nice product and decent succesor to the GeForce GTX 970 and battling with the AMD Radeon RX 480.

The GPU empowering the product is called the GP106 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has a nice 1,280 CUDA Cores, while texture filtering is performed by 80 texture units. It has a base clock frequency of 1,506 MHz and performs texture filtering at roughly 120 Gigatexels/sec with it's boost to 1,708 MHz.

The card has a 120 Watt TDP, 75 Watts is delivered though the PCIe slot, then 75 Watts through the single 6-pin PEG (PCI Express graphics) power connector.

You'll still have a bit of spare left for a nice overclock. The GeForce GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080 display engine is capable of supporting the latest high resolution displays, including 4K and 5K screens. And with HDMI 2.0 support, the GeForce GTX 1060 can be used by gamers who want to game on the newest state-of-the-art big screen TVs.
