PNY Launch Custom GeForce GTX 1060

More and more graphics card manufacturers have started to unveil their own takes on Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1060 product, and the latest one to join the fold is none other than PNY. The company has just unveiled its GeForce GTX 1060, which comes with a custom-design PCB while keeping Nvidia’s reference clock speeds  of 1506 MHz core and 1709 MHz GPU Boost. The memory also runs at 8 Gbps, and even though this product will likely perform the same when compared to Nvidia’s reference card, it definitely boasts better aesthetics thanks to its custom cooling solution.

Speaking of which, the cooler includes a custom aluminium fin-stack complemented by two black 70 mm fans. Considering the fact that the card wasn’t overclocked out of the factory, it still relies on a standard 8-pin PCIe power connector. As far as pricing is concerned, we’re looking at asking prices of about $279, which is quite a bit more when compared to AMD’s RX 480.
