Geforce gtx 1060 technical characteristics and suitable for vr

New data indicates that the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 graphics card will have a 256-bit memory interface and will meet the requirements for virtual reality, at the same time it will be a card with very low power consumption.

GeForce GTX 1060 meets the minimum requirements to enjoy virtual reality

The Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 will mount a 256-bit memory interface just like its older sisters GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 and unlike its predecessor, the GTX 960 which conforms to a 128-bit interface. Nvidia seeks to make the GTX 1060 a card capable of meeting the minimum requirements for virtual reality.

With this premise, the GeForce GTX 1060 will mount 4 or 8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface and a bandwidth of 224 GB / s. All this to feed a GPU that would have 1, 280 CUDA cores and a die size of approximately 200 mm2. The card would offer an approximate performance of 4 TFLOPs at a core frequency of 1.6 GHz, something very plausible seeing its older sisters. This would meet the minimum requirement for virtual reality located at 3.5 TFLOPs on a clearly mid-range card and whose price should be at 250-300 euros.

These specifications allow the GeForce GTX 1060 to be a very energy-efficient graphics card so it would only be powered through the PCI Express slot on the motherboard, custom models would have a 6-pin connector to improve its possibilities overclocking and thereby achieve higher performance.

Without a doubt, the next generation of graphics cards promises to revolutionize virtual reality gaming.
