The card has three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs in addition to an HDMI 2.0b output and a DVI-D Dual-Link output. The GTX 1060 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 1280 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.

CUDA Cores: 1280
Base Clock: 1544 MHz
Boost Clock: 1759 MHz

The card has 4 GPU power phases and comes with an 8-pin power connector. For cooling, MSI implemented dual TORX fans, which maximizes downwards airflow and air dispersion to the heat sink below them. This GPU also utilizes MSI ZeroFrozr technology to eliminate fan noise by stopping the fans in low-load situations.

This 6GB model sells in the 269 USD range.
