Based on state-of-the-art NVIDIA pascal architecture and blazing-fast GDDR5 memory, the GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is built for gamers seeking serious gameplay at a price that won't bust the wallet, enabling you to play latest AAA titles with impressive frame rates. Its WINDFORCE 2X cooling system keeps the GPU stably running at full load, so you can enjoy long gaming sessions without performance compromise.
Get Game Ready with GeForce GTX.
GeForce GTX delivers the fastest performance, with the most advance gaming technologies (NVIDIA GameWorks) and the best gaming ecosystem (GeForce Experience).
Built with all-new NVIDIA Pascal architecture and using ultra-fast FinFET manufacturing process, GeForce GTX 10 series is a quantum leap in performance and power efficiency.
To meet the demands of the latest displays, including VR, ultra-high-resolution, and multiple monitors, NVIDIA GameWorks technologies features smooth gameplay and cinematic experiences, as well as revolutionary 360-degree image capture-even in VR.
Discover next-generation VR performance, the lowest latency, and plug-and-play compatibility with leading headsets-driven by NVIDIA VRWorks technologies. VR audio, physics, and haptics let you hear and feel every moment.
The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features two 90mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning fan design, pure copper composite heat-pipe, heat pipe direct touch technology, semi-passive 3D active fan, and protection back plate together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures.
Optimize air flow by the alternate spinning fans that reduce air turbulence and effectively dissipate the heat.
The airflow is spilt by the triangle fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the air flow by 23% over traditional fans.
The semi-passive fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming. It allows gamers to enjoy gameplay in complete silence when the system is running light or idle.
The composite heat-pipes combine both thermal conductivity and phase transition for efficiently managing the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces which increases 29% of cooling capacity.
The pure copper heat pipes are shaped to maximize the direct contact area to the GPU.
Glorious black back plate provides the solid protection, strengthens the structure and inspires the passion for gaming.
With a simple click on XTREME Engine utility, gamers can easily tune the card to meet their various gaming requirements without any overclocking knowledge, while saving the hassle of manual adjustment.
Engineered with the highest-grade chokes and capacitors, this graphic card delivers outstanding performance and durable system lifespan.
Compared to founders edition*, the 4+1 power phases on the card make the MOSFET working at a lower temperature and provide more stable voltage output. (* founders edition: 3+1)
Clock speeds, voltage, fan performance, and power target can be monitored and tuned in real-time according to your own preference through this intuitive interface.
Pros: Runs Folding @ Home for two years, machine is on 24/7.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I bought this card over 2 years ago and it is still ticking along, even under a load for most of that time. Great video card for me, however, I would not buy any video card during this time of gouging and incredible inflation. I paid less than half the prices listed here for used and refurbished product. Lead times are measured in months, not days, so buyer beware. Coin mining, polotics and the pandemic seem to be cause, so boycotting until prices start to return to a sane level.
