Evidence record

Sources and verification

Specifications for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 were checked against the linked source material. Last verified .

The record launch date is original 6 GB availability. The 3 GB, 9 Gbps 6 GB, GDDR5X 6 GB and 5 GB variants have separate evidence states. Clocks, power and detailed physical fields are intentionally unpopulated because the schema cannot scope them to mixed reference and partner configurations. The 10 GHz GDDR5X subvariant is documented without a calculated bandwidth. The MSI image is representative.
