Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6G
Gigabyte has graced us with four GTX 1060 cards, only two of
which it’s willing to divulge full specs for at this time. The range-topping
model is the GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6G that features the WINDFORCE 2X cooler,
customizable RGB lighting and tops out at 1847MHz in OC Mode. The other card of note from Gigabyte is the GeForce GTX 1060
Mini ITX OC, which features a single-fan design, and measures just 6.7 inches
in length making it ideal for compact cases.
When it comes to pricing, these cards are all over the map, and if you can find one in stock, price gouging is likely to be an issue. So tread lightly as you venture off into GeForce GTX 1060 land...
