Quick Re-cap of the GeForce GTX 1060 Specifications

Launching in just 3 days, the GeForce GTX 1060 will be NVIDIA's first card to utilize their latest GP106 GPU core. The GeForce GTX 1060 has 1280 CUDA cores, 80 TMUs and 48 ROPs. The GTX 1060 is clocked at speeds of 1506 MHz base and 1708 MHz boost clock which delivers a texture fill rate of 120.5 GTexels/s. The GeForce GTX 1060 also features a 6 GB GDDR5 VRAM buffer that runs across a 192-bit bus interface. The memory is configured to run at 8000 MHz which is the fastest speed available for GDDR5 memory.

All of the graphics cards that have been launched by AIB partners are listed below. Manufacturers have went with completely new design schemes on their cards along with impressive board designs that will be shaking the overclocking scene with Pascal GPUs as with the custom models of the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 that came before. So let's begin rounding up the custom GeForce GTX 1060 graphics cards.

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X With Twin Frozr VI Cooling - Coupled With RGB LEDs

The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 is a very impressive model as it features their amazing Twin Frozr VI cooling and non reference PCB that features Military Class components. The Twin Frozr VI cooler on this card is based on a beefy heatsink design that features a dense aluminum fin array that is cooled off by two large fans. MSI uses their V.6 Dragoon design on this cooler to add in an interesting aesthetic display that features a red and black layout and RGB lighting.MSI GTX 1060 Family

Since this is a factory overclocked model, we would be looking at clock speeds around 1850 MHz as far as boost clocks are concerned. The card is powered by a single 8-Pin connector which adds in more power to the graphic board compared to the single 6-Pin connector on the reference models. The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 will feature a price around $279 US since it is using a fully custom design. Display outputs would include the standard config featuring three DP 1.4, a single HDMI 2.0b and a single DVI-D port.

The PCB is a 6+1 Phase DIGI+ design that offers support for higher overclockability. There are two additional 4-Pin fan headers on this card if users want to go crazy while cooling. Coming to the variants, the stock sticks to the reference clock speeds of 1506 MHz base, 1708 MHz boost and 8 GHz for the memory. The overclocked variant which should cost a little extra comes with clock speeds of 1645 MHz / 1620 MHz base in Gaming and Overclocked modes respectively. Similarly, the boost speeds are rated at 1847 MHz and 1873 MHz depending on the BIOS you are using. The memory will be configured at 8.2 GHz.

Aside from the DirectCU III variant, ASUS will also be offering the GeForce GTX 1060 in their Turbo and Dual variants which will offer better stability, cooling and overclocking support over the reference models. Expect Turbo starting at a price of $259 US followed by the Dual at $269 and the ROG STRIX at $289 US (overclock).

Gainward Has an Insane 5 GeForce GTX 1060 Custom Variants Ready For Launch on 19th July

Gainward has a total of five custom GeForce GTX 1060 models which is completely insane. Aside from their own take at the founders edition which will cost $249 US, the rest of the models will be available for $249+ and have custom cooler and PCB designs. Following is a list of all the variants that Gainward is working on.

Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Gale Graphics Card ($269 US):

The Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Gale graphics card comes with clock speeds of 1544 MHz base and 1759 MHz boost. This variant uses the Storm Cooler which houses dual 80mm fans colored in red on a red and black color shroud.

Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Herd Graphics Card ($259 US):

The Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Herd edition comes with a base clock of 1518 MHz and boost clock of 1733 MHz. This card features the Wind Shield XE Cooler that combines a black and white color scheme on the GPU cooler shroud along with red texturing on the mesh and fans. The card comes with even less Display Ports compared to the reference model that include a single HDMI, DVI and Display Port. This card is also powered through a single 6-Pin connector but comes with a 3+1 Phase VRM compared to 4+1 Phase on the GTX 1060 Gale edition.

Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition ($249 US):

The Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition is another graphics card that comes with a custom cooler shroud. Don't let the Founders Edition name fool you, this version of the cooler is a cheaper variant based on the plastic body that we have seen on older Kepler and Maxwell based cards. The card event features the reference PCB with stock configuration of the GTX 1060. While the GTX 1060 Founders Edition costs $299 US, the Gainward model would set you back for a price of $249 US as it's designed to be cost effective and not aesthetically pleasing as NVIDIA's own NVTTM variant.

Gainward GeForce GTX 1060_2

Gainward GeForce GTX 1060 Dual Graphics Card ($249 US):

The other two variants in Gainward's lineup are the GeForce GTX 1060 Dual and GeForce GTX 1060 Phoenix which feature custom PCB designs and larger cooler than the other variants. Both cards feature double fan design and come with a single 6-Pin connector. The Phoenix variant is a triple slot monster so we can expect some beefy heatsink assembly under its hood.
