Yesterday we reported about a 5GB version GeForce GTX 1060, well it’s already been spotted it seems. The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 5GB Windforce OC in specific. The card features dual-fan Windforce 2X cooling solution and has been fitted with a backplate.
The clock speeds for this factory tweaked card are 1582/1797 MHz in OC mode and 1556/1771 MHz in Gaming mode, and these match the regular 1060 6GB model, as videocardz spotted today. The memory clock speed is 8008 MHz offering 160 GB/s bandwidth, 32 GB/s less than 192b/6GB model. The GTX 1060 5GB Windforce OC has four display outputs: two DVIs, HDMI, and a DisplayPort. The reason behind the new model is that it will be aimed at Internet Cafe’s, hugely popular in Asia, as Expreview reports. Three GB is too little, 5 GB seems to be a little more cost effective. A photo of the 5GB paired GPU also already appeared:
The GP106-350-K3-A1 has been confirmed to have a full 1280 Shader processors
It is reported and thus now visually confirmed that that the GPU used is the GP106-350-K3-A1 which holds it’s original 1280 shader processors. However, the lacking GDDR5 chip would have an effect on the memory bus, which would be a 160-bit. Again, we think this model is aimed at the Asia market only.
