MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB OCV1

The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GT OCV1 is a full-height graphics card built on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 Series architecture. It delivers 1280 CUDA cores with a base clock of 1544 MHz and a boost clock of 1759 MHz. The board carries 6GB of GDDR5 memory across a 192-bit bus running at 8008 MHz effective. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5.

1080p gaming and VR-ready builds

This card suits builders targeting 1080p gaming at high settings or entry-level VR experiences backed by NVIDIA VR Ready validation. The three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, one HDMI 2.0 port and one DL-DVI-D connector drive up to three displays simultaneously. Users chasing 1440p ultra detail or 4K output should look at higher-tier GPUs with more memory bandwidth and compute resources.

PCIe 3.0 slot and 6-pin power check

Verify your motherboard provides a full-length PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and that your case accommodates a dual-slot, dual-fan cooler. The power supply must deliver a 6-pin PCIe connector and enough headroom for the board's typical draw. Ensure your monitor cables match the available DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0 or DVI-D ports before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for this card?

Yes, the GTX 1060 6GT OCV1 connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface and requires that slot to operate.

Will my older monitor with a DVI input work with the 1 x DL-DVI-D port?

The card includes a 1 x DL-DVI-D output alongside HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4, so a DVI monitor can be used directly.

How can I check the core and boost clocks are running at 1544 MHz and 1759 MHz after installation?

Use the included Afterburner utility to monitor real-time GPU frequencies and confirm the 1544 MHz base and 1759 MHz boost clocks.
