Compact GeForce GTX 1060 with dual-fan cooler & high factory OC
The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 FTW2 + Gaming has a base clock of 1632 MHz. With GPU-Boost 3.0 it can be raised to a boost clock of 1,860 MHz if required. The memory clock is 4,004 MHz (effectively 8,008 MHz). For the cooling of the graphics card the "iCX" cooling technology with two fans is used.
EVGA has come up with some ideas to optimally control the heat development of the graphics card. A total of nine temperature sensors were distributed on the FTW2 +, allowing the user to keep an eye on the temperature values of the GPU (1 sensor), the memory modules (3 sensors) and voltage transformers (5 sensors). The values can be read out directly in the PrecisionX OC software or recognized by the LED color of the thermal display, under the white illuminated EVGA lettering on the graphics card.
In combination with the asynchronously running fans, the various areas of the graphics card can therefore be cooled depending on the requirements. The airflow is passed through the aluminum heat sink, which now has an improved contact surface due to many holes in the fins. This results in a much more efficient cooling with reduced noise at the same time. The base and backplates of the FTW2 + have also been redesigned, with the optimized design and direct contact with key components maximizing the heat distribution of the graphics card.
Cheap VR-Ready graphics card from NVIDIA: The GeForce GTX 1060
The GTX 1060's 6GB of GDDR5 video memory is connected to the GPU via a 192-bit memory interface, providing 192GB / s of memory bandwidth. The GP106 graphics chip has 1,280 shader units, called NVIDIA CUDA cores.
The GTX-1060 graphics card series supports DirectX 12 and current gaming technologies including NVIDIA Ansel, Gameworks, Warp, Stereo-X, VR-Audio, PhysX, and Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP). SMP 4.0 offers great advantages for VR, curved displays and multi-display setups.
Thanks to SMP 4.0, Pascal supports 16 simultaneous viewports that allow a much more realistic display on multiple monitors or curved displays. In particular, gambling in Virtual Reality (VR) benefits from the new technology, as it can render two viewports in one go. By using multiple viewports, the rendered image also has a lower number of calculated pixels.
The GeForce GTX 1060 operates with a TDP of only 120 watts and it is recommended to use a power supply with a minimum power of 400 watts. The GeForce GTX 1060 has an HDMI 2.0b port, three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, and a dual-link DVI output. The HDMI port supports HDCP 2.2 and can send and receive encrypted signals.
In order to realize the full potential of the card in the future, new drivers from NVIDIA or EVGA should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
