GPU and target user

This MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Founders Edition is a graphics card built around the NVIDIA GTX 1060 chipset. It suits builders who need a PCI Express 3.0 16X card with 6GB of DDR5 memory for 1080p or 1440p workloads. The 192bit memory interface and 8008MHz memory clock deliver the bandwidth this GPU expects.

Deciding specification

The card draws auxiliary power through a single 6pin connector, so your power supply must provide that lead and enough headroom for the GPU. Without the correct 6pin connection the card will not start, making this the specification that decides compatibility.

Installation and common issues

Installation follows the standard PCI Express 3.0 16X slot procedure: seat the card, secure the bracket, attach the 6pin power cable, then install the NVIDIA driver. The most frequent problem is forgetting the 6pin connector or using an adapter that cannot supply the required current, which prevents the card from posting.

Questions about this item

Will the 6-pin power connector work with my existing power supply?

The card requires a single 6-pin PCIe power connector. Check that your power supply has this cable and sufficient wattage for the rest of your system.

Does this card fit a standard ATX case and motherboard?

It uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot. Verify your case length clearance and that the motherboard has a free x16 slot.

Can I run a 7680×4320 display with the 6 GB frame buffer?

The maximum digital resolution is 7680×4320. At that resolution the 6 GB memory may limit texture quality in modern titles.
