Compact 6GB GTX 1060 for small builds

The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6G OCV1 fits compact cases with a single-fan cooler and a short PCB. It targets 1080p gamers and VR users who need a 6GB frame buffer without a large triple-slot design. The card draws power from the PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and a single external connector.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 and display outputs

The board uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface with a 192-bit memory bus and 8008 MHz effective memory clock. Video outputs comprise one HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.4 and one DL-DVI-D, supporting up to three monitors simultaneously. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5 provide the API baseline for current titles.

Check case length and power connectors

Verify that your chassis can accept the card length and that the power supply includes the required auxiliary connector for the factory overclock. Ensure the motherboard offers a full-size PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and that your display cables match HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4 or DL-DVI-D.

Questions about this item

Which capacity version of the MSI GTX 1060 OCV1 should I pick?

The OCV1 model is only offered with 6GB of GDDR5 memory on a 192-bit bus, so there is no alternative capacity to choose from.

What does the 1759 MHz boost clock mean once the card is installed in my PC?

Under load the GPU can reach 1759 MHz, giving higher frame rates than the 1544 MHz base clock while staying within the card's power and thermal limits.

How does the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface affect real-world performance?

The x16 link provides full bandwidth for the GTX 1060, so the interface does not bottleneck the 1280 CUDA cores or 8008 MHz memory in modern games.
