NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

3 GB GDDR5 · 192-bit · 1,152 cores

A lower-cost version of the GeForce GTX 1060 with 3 GB of GDDR5. Rather than only halving the memory, NVIDIA also disabled one of the GP106's ten streaming multiprocessors, cutting the CUDA core count from 1,280 to 1,152 while keeping the same 192-bit memory bus and clocks as the 6 GB model.
