![]() ![]() EVGA ACX fans use double ball bearings, which offer 4X longer lifespan than the sleeve bearing fans used by competitors.Straight Heat Pipe – for increased copper contact area.Optimally Tuned Heatsinks and Fin Design (13% Quieter).Memory/MOSFET Cooling plate (15% Cooler Memory, 13% Cooler GPU MOSFETs).Double Ball Bearing fans (400% longer lifespan).These features and more can be found at the EVGA GTX 1060 FTW+ webpage. To that end, the fans EVGA uses here less power than typical fans giving one a bit more headroom on your power limit. Even your fan speed counts against the power allotment setup in each card’s BIOS. With the GPU overclocking world left as it has been by NVIDIA (neutered without significant changes), every Watt counts when trying to push these cards to the limit. All of these features combine to give you superior cooling and quiet operation, particularly over the reference blower design. Also, the heatsink/fin design is optimally tuned for quiet operation including a straight heatpipe for increased contact area. With that they include double ball bearing fans for increased life expectancy, a 0 dB operation mode with an optimized fan curve, and a cooling plate for the MOSFETs and memory. GPUz v1.11 FeaturesĮVGA updated their famed ACX cooler to version 3.0. The base core clock comes in at 1633 MHz, boosting to at least 1860 MHz. Plenty to play games at 1080p and even a bit higher. This yields a total of 192.2 GB/s bandwidth. The memory side of the house brings you a total of 6GB using Samsung ICs on a 192-bit bus running at 2002 MHz. We see the GP106 silicon has the full 1280 Shaders with 48 ROPs and 80 TMUs on the back end. EVGA GTX 1060 FTW+ Gaming ACX 3.0ġ632 MHz Base Clock, 1860 MHz Boost Clockīelow is our screenshot of GPU-Z. Specifications are from the EVGA website for the 1060 FTW+. That should be plenty considering it’s a 150W draw card (a bit over reference at 120W). Last but not least, EVGA recommends a 400W or greater power supply with a single 8-Pin PCIe connector. The ACX 3.0 cooler, it is a dual slot cooling solution. The card is a bit over 4.25″ high and exactly 11″ long. The card supports up to four monitors and a total resolution of 7680×4320 at 60Hz.įor outputs, you have a typical mix of 1x DL DVI-D, 3x DisplayPort (v1.4), and 1x HDMI (2.0b). The 6GB of GDDR5 memory comes in at 2002 MHz (8000 MHz effective) which is 192 GB/s of bandwidth across its 192-bit bus. It did bump up a bin or so in less stressful tests. In this case, at stock it ran at 2000 MHz most of time. With Boost 3.0, in practice that 1860 MHz is around 100 MHz lower to what most will see while gaming. To that end, the 1060 FTW+ comes in with 1632 MHz base clock with boost to around 1860 MHz. EVGA slapped on its new ACX3.0 cooler, improved upon the reference PCB, and gave it higher clocks. Taking a look at the specifications table and GPU-Z, we see the spec’s of the full blown GTX 1060 6GB. Take a read below and see what features it brought to the table and how it performs in our testing suite! Specifications This card has the updated ACX 3.0 Cooler, a better power delivery area/PCB, as well as the highest clocks of EVGA’s GTX 1060 lineup. Today I had a chance to review EVGA’s flagship GTX 1060 in its FTW+ Gaming ACX 3.0 Video card. ![]()
