NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Released in 2016, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is a GPU from NVIDIA. According to our GPU Benchmark, this GPU is an average card for gaming with a score of 21%.
It has a total memory bandwidth of 187 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 192 bits.
In terms of clock speed, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU core runs at a frequency of 1506 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1708 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.
As for rendering API support, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.6 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a TDP of 120W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
