Card without the cooler, it seems that if you take the cooler off, you take the power connector off as well.

Although it's a small PCB, it's a very under utilized PCB at that, there are tonnes of markings for more chips, VRM's etc.
That on the edge of the PCB looks like a place holder for a bios switch.

Same size as my GTX 670 PCB, but mine is far more buisier than this.

Did some diggin'
FX 5600 Ultra > 4200 Ti
FX 5700 Ultra > 4600 Ti
6600 GT > 5950 Ultra
7600 GT > 6800 GT
8600 GT............LOL wtf??? garbage!
GTS 250 = 8800 GTX
GTX 460 > GTX 285
GTX 560 (just a refresh of the 460)
GTX 660 = GTX 580
GTX 760 (refresh)
GTX 960 = GTX 680
GTX 1060 = GTX 980 ?

The 660 was a bit slower than the 580, even according to TPU's own benches. The 660ti was the one that was ahead of the 580. Sorry if I misinterpreted the context of this because I mulled over most of the dumb Founder's chatter.

580 was between the 660 and 660Ti, significantly more so more towards a 660Ti if you OC vs OC the 660.

In all honesty I can not see the point of a GTX 1060 3GB model, unless the new DCC algorithm is doing truely wonders... which I highly doubt. 2GB is barely enough today, 4GB is alright for the foreseeable future (1-1.5 year). Having 3GB would be like sitting between two chairs.

Board partners probably will have 3GB models available tho just to have an nVIDIA alternative at RX 480 4GB price levels.

My card was never using more than 2GB of VRAM on 1080p. And even now when all 3GB are used on 1440p there is no stuttering at all.

Not yet... that's the point. Seeing the trend of GTA V, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Doom are setting, probably worth spending a couple of bucks more on a 6GB VRAM model. But every one can judge themselves if they need it or not.

No SLI = My money is going to AMD!

Why on earth would you SLI an x60 or a midranger anyway? You'll run into stutter heaven.
