NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Graphics Cards – A Selection of Famous Models – In July, the announcement and then the release of a new video card from NVIDIA with Pascal architecture – the GeForce GTX 1060, which is built on a 16-nm GP106-400 chip and has 1,280 CUDA cores, 80 texture units, and 48 rasterization units took place.
This is a very productive video card, the capacity of which is enough to run modern games in high quality and resolution, as well as for the full support of top virtual reality systems.
Interestingly, this is the first new-generation graphics card from NVIDIA, which is entering into some competition with the new-generation AMD Polaris graphics cards, which appeared in response to the release of AMD Radeon RX 480 ($ 229).
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 is equipped with 6 GB of GDDR5 video memory with a 192-bit interface and an effective operating frequency of 8000 MHz. The processor frequencies of the base models are 1506 MHz / 1708 MHz.
Computing Power ~ 3.8 GFLOPS. The bandwidth is 192 GB / s.
The basic models use a four-phase power subsystem (3 + 1) with one six-pin connector, and substantially overclocked video cards also have seven-phase subsystems (6 + 1) with one eight-pin power connector.
The main advantages of the video card are high frequency characteristics with a low level of power consumption and heat dissipation. Standard TDP 120 watts.
As usual, after the official release on the market, announcements of solutions from many NVIDIA partners rained down for every taste and preference.
In order not to produce a lot of news about almost identical developments, as well as to facilitate comparison and selection of models, we have collected the most popular and affordable video cards of this line in this thread.
The publication indicates the maximum frequencies of the video card that are achieved when the OC-Mode is activated according to the instructions from the manufacturers.
The cost is indicative and constantly changing. Recommended cost is $ 250.
