Target build

The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GT OCV1 is a full-height ATX graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU with 1280 CUDA cores and 6 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 192-bit bus. It suits gamers and creators who need DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 support at 1080p and entry-level 1440p without stepping to a larger power envelope.

Daily connectivity

A single DL-DVI-D, one HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4 drive up to three monitors simultaneously, while the PCI Express 3.0 x16 edge connector fits any standard ATX slot. HDCP readiness means protected streaming content plays without extra adapters, and the VR-ready badge confirms the display outputs meet headset requirements.

Upgrade path

Moving from a 3 GB GTX 1060 or older card adds the full 1280 CUDA core complement and double the frame buffer, which matters in texture-heavy titles and multi-monitor workloads. The 1544 MHz base clock and 1759 MHz boost clock with 8008 MHz effective memory deliver the headroom that makes the jump worthwhile for 1080p high-refresh gaming.
