With an overclocked core and based on NVIDIA's Pascal architecture, the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING Graphics Card provides major improvements in performance, memory bandwidth, and power efficiency over its predecessor, the high-performance Maxwell architecture. It also introduces innovative graphics features and technologies that redefine the computer as the platform for playing AAA games and taking full advantage of virtual reality via NVIDIA VRWorks.

The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs. There are three DisplayPort 1.4 outputs in addition to an HDMI 2.0b output and a DVI-D Dual-Link output. The GTX 1060 is not just about high-resolution gaming. Computationally intensive programs can utilize the GPU's 1280 cores to accelerate tasks using CUDA or other APIs.

EVGA's single fan ACX 2.0 Cooler quietly keeps the card's operating temperature in check. The fan is driven by a low-power motor and features swept blades and double ball bearings to increase efficiency.

VRWorks
VRWorks Graphics includes a simultaneous multi-projection capability that renders natively to the unique dimensions of VR displays instead of traditional 2D monitors. It also renders geometry for the left and right eyes simultaneously in a single pass.

VRWorks Audio uses the NVIDIA OptiX ray-tracing engine to trace the path of sounds across an environment in real-time, fully reflecting the size, shape, and material of the virtual world.

NVIDIA PhysX for VR detects when a hand controller interacts with a virtual object, and enables the game engine to provide a physically accurate visual and haptic response. It also models the physical behavior of the virtual world around the user so that all interactions -- whether an explosion or a hand splashing through water -- behave as if in the real world.
NVIDIA Ansel
With Ansel, gamers can compose the gameplay shots they want, pointing the camera in any direction and from any vantage point within a gaming world. They can capture screenshots at up to 32 times the screen resolution, and then zoom in where they choose without losing fidelity. With photo-filters, they can add effects in real-time before taking the shot. And they can capture 360-degree stereo photospheres for viewing in a VR headset or Google Cardboard.
CUDA
With CUDA, NVIDIA allows applications to hand off CPU-intensive tasks to the GPU. Your GPU is no longer just used for rendering graphics, but it can provide teraflops of floating point performance and accelerate application tasks, from real-time video rendering to fluid dynamics simulation. CUDA is used in many applications and games.
G-SYNC Ready
When used with a monitor that has G-SYNC hardware installed, the monitor's refresh rate will sync and lock with the graphics card's output frame rate. Establishing this sync removes tearing and stuttering which can result from conventional fixed screen refresh rates, especially important for gaming in stereoscopic 3D. An additional benefit of G-SYNC is reduced lag so gamers will benefit from the improved command response time as well.
NVIDIA GPU Boost 3.0
Boosts the card's clock speed in real-time based on the target temperature. If the card is running below the set target temperature, GPU Boost 3.0 will increase the clock speed to improve performance. The target temperature can be reset depending on your preference so you can have the card run more quietly for everyday tasks and older games, and run at full tilt during intense high-resolution gaming sequences.

question

will the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC work with Dell Optiplex 9020 Small Form Factor Business Desktop High Performance Tower PC (Intel Quad Core i7 4770, 8GB Ram, 120GB Brand New Solid State SSD, WIFI, VGA, DVD-RW) Win 10?
Asked by: Kathleen M H.
No. According to the owner's manual the PCIe slots are half-height, and this requires two full-height PCIe slots.

question

Does this work in a alianware x51 R2?
Asked by: Destyn D.
This question's a little old, but for those still curious on this...It does work in an X51 R2 build; however, the card is fairly loud on heavy loads without some fan tweaking with a fan controller app.Also, keep in mind, this isn't a reference card. One issue I had was temperature controls. With the R2's case having a lack of airflow management, it can get pretty hot. Expect to be running around 78-84c, sometimes hotter, in more graphic intense games. (In the end, I transferred the X51 to an ATX case. Temps are much lower now.)It's a great card, I hardly regret my choice, but I do recommend looking into a reference style blower instead for the X51 R2 cases.

question

Will this work with a MIS 760gma-p34fx mother board?
Asked by: Addison W.
Yes it will work on that board as it has a PCIE slot for graphics cards. You will need a power connector from your power supply for it, however which should be labeled as PCIE.

question

Does this card uses copper heat pipe for it's cooling?
Asked by: Kevin C.
Yes, you can see the heatpipe in some of the pictures. The non-SC versions of this card do not have heatpipes, avoid those.

question

Will this card work in an alianware x51?
Asked by: Destyn D.
Yes if you have a free PCI Express 3.0 x16 plus the physical space for the card.
