Target use

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC Gaming is a 3 GB graphics card built on the NVIDIA Pascal architecture. It delivers a core clock of 1607 MHz and a boost clock of 1835 MHz through 1152 CUDA cores. The 192-bit GDDR5 memory bus suits 1080p gaming and multi-monitor productivity setups. It connects via a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6.

Installation notes

The dual-slot form factor fits standard ATX cases and requires a single PCIe power connector. Driver installation is straightforward through the NVIDIA control panel or GeForce Experience software. The single-fan cooler exhausts heat into the case, so adequate chassis airflow prevents thermal throttling. Ensure the power supply delivers sufficient wattage for the full system load.

Interface limits

The PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface provides ample bandwidth for this GPU tier. Display outputs include one HDMI 2.0b port, three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and one Dual-Link DVI port, driving up to four monitors at a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320. The 3 GB frame buffer and 192-bit bus can restrict texture quality in modern titles at higher settings.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the card is running at its 1835 MHz boost clock after installation?

Open GPU-Z or EVGA Precision X1 while a 3D load is running; the sensor tab will show the core climbing to 1835 MHz when temperature and power limits allow.

Does the box include a Dual-Link DVI cable or only the card itself?

The package contains the graphics card, a quick-install guide and a driver disc; cables for the HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4 or DVI-D ports must be sourced separately.

Should I choose the 3 GB version or look for a 6 GB model for 1080p gaming?

The 3 GB frame buffer with 1152 CUDA cores handles most 1080p titles at high settings; select a 6 GB variant only if you plan heavy texture mods or higher resolutions.
