MSI Announces GTX 1060 Series GPUs

The new Nvidia GTX 1060 is finally here, offering a more affordable, yet still impressively powerful solution for those who can’t quite stretch to the realms of the GTX 1070/1080. Now MSI are entering the Pascal GPU battlefield with their new GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G, which comes equipped with the TWIN FROZR VI cooler, allowing for higher core and memory clock speeds for increased performance in games.

“The famous shapes of the eye-catching TWIN FROZR cooler are intensified by a fiery red GAMING glow piercing through the cover, while the MSI GAMING dragon RGB LED on the side can be set to any of 16.8 million colors to match your mood or build. A completely new custom 6-phase PCB design using Military Class 4 components with an 8-pin power connector enables higher overclocking performance to push your graphics card to the max. The classy matte black solid metal backplate gives the card more structural strength and provides a nice finishing touch.” – MSI

“MSI’s new TWIN FROZR VI Thermal Design raises the bar of Graphics Card air cooling. TORX Fan 2.0 is the enhanced version of the patented MSI TORX Fan technology which generates 22% more air pressure for better cooling performance while further reducing noise levels. Connected to the huge heatsink are up to 8mm thick copper heat pipes with a squared shape at the bottom for optimal heat transfer from the solid nickel-plated copper baseplate combined with premium thermal compound X to keep the Pascal powerhouse cool.” – MSI

With a stylish black and white design, this is a great looking card, and comes equipped with the new ARMOR 2X Thermal Design and patented TORX Fan technology also found on the award winning TWIN FROZR V graphics cards. The cards even comes with a zero fan mode for low-load scenarios and silent performance.

“Entry level MSI GeForce GTX 1060 models featuring both a dual and single fan thermal design will be available for those who want Pascal power without breaking the bank and with smaller builds. Both models are crafted using Military Class 4 components, have single 6-pin power connectors and are covered with a classy Black & White design using 8cm fans.” – MSI

Which one of these new cards would you like to see in your next system build?

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
