ASUS introduced the GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB Phoenix graphics card. Designed with low cost in mind, this card is 18.3 cm long, and combines a custom-design PCB that draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe power connector, with a simple monolithic aluminium fan-heatsink cooler. The heatsink features a copper core, which dissipates heat to an aluminium block with spirally projecting fins; which is ventilated by a single 80 mm dual ball bearing fan. The GPU is clocked at NVIDIA reference speeds of 1506 MHz core, 1708 MHz GPU Boost, and 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. As the 3 GB variant of the GTX 1060, the chip features just 1,152 CUDA cores. Display outputs include two each of DisplayPort and HDMI connectors, and a DVI port. ASUS didn't reveal pricing.

joke of a card, why they would still sell 3GB cards mid-2017? it's barely enough to play new games at medium settings, soon you'll have to lower them down to low, RX 470 4GB is by far a better choice

Isn't "Phoenix" branding already used by Gainward?

In today's world it's all about customization. 3GB may not be enough for you, but are plenty for people like me.

what i dont like is that they are not saying on box that it has less shaders+tmu´s.(but thats not asus alone-nvidia says what to and not )
for the not tech savvy it seems like only 3gb versus 6gb

Yeah okay. Didn't have any problems running ME: Catalyst with 2c/4t CPU, 8GB DDR4 & GTX780Ti 3GB @ 1080p Ultra.

You are saying that 3gb model card can not play any modern game on high at 1080p ? If it had 4gb then it could ? You know shit about this.

I wish they sell this sort of cards w/out plastic with smaller cooler if possible and in a stupid plastic bag w/out anything so i can pay 150 dollars for it. $200 is still too much for me.
