Product Showcase
The GeForce GTX 1060 takes advantage of Pascal 16 nm FinFet architecture, and with 4.4 billion transistors. It has 1,152 shader/stream cores on the 3GB models (6 GB models are available as well). The memory is GDDR5, it’s a rather nice product and proper succesor to the GeForce GTX960 and competing with the AMD Radeon RX 470 and 480 4GB models
The GPU empowering the product is called the GP106 GPU, which is Pascal architecture based. It has 1,152 CUDA Cores, while texture filtering is performed by 72 texture units.
The reference cards have 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. If you look at the lower left (it's a bit hard to spot) you can see an actual single 8-pin connector), that's 150 Watts + 75 Watts = 225 Watts available.
