Product Showcase
The GeForce GTX 1060 takes advantage of Pascal 16 nm FinFet architecture, this GPU has 4.4 billion transistors. It has 1,280 shader/stream cores on the 6GB models. The memory is GDDR5, it’s a rather nice product and proper successor to the GeForce GTX 960 and competes with the Radeon RX 470 and 480 models from AMD.
The GPU empowering the product is called the GP106 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has 1,280 CUDA Cores, while texture filtering is performed by 80 texture units.
