The GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB was a performance-segment graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on August 18th, 2016. Built on the 16 nm process, and based on the GP106 graphics processor, in its GP106-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB. The GP106 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 200 mm² and 4,400 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB, which uses the same GPU but has all 1280 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB to reach the product's target shader count. It features 1152 shading units, 72 texture mapping units, and 48 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 3,072 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB, which are connected using a 192-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1506 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1708 MHz, memory is running at 2002 MHz (8 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB draws power from 1x 6-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 120 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 250 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 199 US Dollars.
