So it's called dual because... it hast two fans? Read that as if they'd put two chips on a PCB again, but this is just another 1060 3GB isn't it?

Had the same thought. Apparently its a new marketing hoax. Lets rebrand something as Bla Bla DUAL - that would make customers consider us! ( yeah and like as if 99% of other video cards dont have two fans ).

However Dual chip 1060 would be very interesting product! Add a large 3 fan cooler on top, make it Large two slot card, add a sturdy backplate, provide two 8 pin connectors, and two bios.

Hell that would be an attractive card for 1080p resolution gaming.

Technically there Can be. Yes card doesn't have headers for SLI connectors, however if both chips were on one card, it would run well assuming driver would support 1060 SLI. However if driver doesn't have that, than yes.

Still quite silly, why not allow it to be run in SLI, would give them even more competitive advantage over AMD.
