EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC Gaming 3GB graphics card 03G-P4-6162-KR

What the card is and who it serves

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC Gaming 3GB is a single-fan graphics card built around the NVIDIA Pascal architecture. It targets 1080p gamers and entry-level content creators who need modern API support without a dual-slot cooler. The ACX 2.0 cooler keeps the board compact for smaller chassis. It draws power through a standard PCI Express 3.0 slot and a single external connector.

The specification that decides fit

The 3GB GDDR5 frame buffer on a 192-bit bus delivers 192 GB/s bandwidth, which is the limiting factor for texture-heavy titles at higher settings. 1152 CUDA cores run at a 1607 MHz base clock and a 1835 MHz boost clock. DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan API support cover current game engines. The memory operates at 8008 MHz effective with a 0.28 ns cycle time.

How it fits into a build

One HDMI 2.0b, three DisplayPort 1.4 and one Dual-Link DVI-D drive up to four monitors at a maximum digital resolution of 7680 x 4320. The single-slot bracket and short PCB leave room for adjacent expansion cards or tight cable routing. PCI Express 3.0 provides the system link, while NVIDIA GPU Boost 3.0 and EVGA Precision XOC handle dynamic clock management. VR Ready certification and Simultaneous Multi-Projection accelerate stereo rendering workloads.
