GTX 1060 6G DUKE graphics card

The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6G DUKE is a graphics card built around the NVIDIA GTX 1060 chipset. It provides 6GB of GDDR5 memory on a 192bit interface with a memory frequency of 8108MHz. The card connects via a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot and draws auxiliary power through a single 6pin connector.

Suitable for 1080p gaming and multi-monitor work

This card suits users who need solid 1080p frame rates in established titles or who drive multiple displays up to a maximum resolution of 7680×4320. Buyers wanting modern ray-tracing effects, AI upscaling features or higher memory bandwidth for current AAA games should look at newer architectures.

6GB GDDR5 frame buffer and 192bit bus

The 6GB frame buffer handles high-resolution textures and multi-monitor desktops comfortably at 1080p and 1440p settings. At 4K the 192bit bus and GDDR5 bandwidth become the limiting factor, so very high detail levels or heavy compute workloads will run out of headroom.

Questions about this item

Does my power supply need a 6pin connector for the GTX 1060 DUKE?

Yes, the card draws auxiliary power through a single 6pin connector, so your PSU must provide that cable.

Will the GTX 1060 DUKE run in a motherboard that only has PCI Express 2.0 slots?

The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 16X interface and is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, operating at the lower generation speed.

How can I verify the GDDR5 memory is running at the rated 8108MHz after installation?

Open GPU-Z or a similar monitoring tool and check the memory clock reading; it should report 8108MHz when the GPU is under load.
