Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Dual

Justified overpayment

The 6 GB version of the GeForce GTX 1060 has much more potential than the 3 GB version. Already, several popular games (Rise of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Forza Horizon 3) at ultra settings, even at FullHD graphics resolution, consume 6 GB of video memory or more (a good alternative is the 8 GB Radeon RX 480). As a result, the 6GB GTX 1060, if not boosting the average frame rate, at least eliminates the severe stuttering of the 3GB version.

Hidden Potential

Moreover, the GTX 1060 with 6 GB allows you to cross the 1080p line and take a swing at 2K and even 4K resolution. Of course, the graphics settings will have to be reduced to at least medium, but it's clearly worth it. Moreover, at 4K resolution, the need for software texture smoothing, which is what distinguishes high and ultra settings from medium ones, disappears by itself.

Strict style

Palit Dual is a simple-looking, but quite solid dual-fan modification of the GTX 1060. Unlike the three-slot older Palit JetStream series, it occupies only two expansion slots. In addition to the large heatsink with heat pipes on the graphics chip, another small heatsink is mounted on the mosfets of the power circuit. This, coupled with a 6-pin power connector, gives hope for successful overclocking of the core - 2 GHz, if you're lucky with a particular instance.
