You can even ramp up to the 3440x1440 resolution on a 34-inch UltraWide 21:9 display and enjoy respectable performance from the GTX 1060 Dual 3G.

GIGABYTE has impressed with its GTX 1060 Xtreme Gaming, a formidable graphics card for those wanting a nice upgrade from their graphics card that might not be able to handle the upcoming wave of games like Battlefield 1.

As mentioned throughout the article, the sound output from the ASUS Turbo card is higher than we might like, but it's well within range of other reference designs like the RX 480 and the GTX 1070 Founders Edition.

The motherboard slot is only pulling 60 watts at peak, with the 6-pin connection hitting 64 watts or so.

And again for the graphics card itself, with the front of the GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G identical to the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 cards, but the lack of an SLI connector is noticed.

The Twin Frozr VI cooler is very efficient, keeping the card both cool, and quiet.
