Gaming model with high performance and colorful Aura LED backlight

The ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1060 also boasts a number of exclusive ASUS technologies, including a high-performance DirectCU III cooling system with three fans that feature optimized fan shape and passive mode, and temperature-controlled fan connectors for the GPU FanConnect technology . It utilizes select components Super Alloy Power II technology , and a fully automated manufacturing process Auto-Extreme technology ensures high quality in the finished product.

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1060 is equipped with Aura color backlight and dual HDMI ports, allowing you to connect virtual reality systems without disconnecting the main monitor. GPU Tweak II software is bundled with the XSplit Gamecaster module to customize the graphics engine and broadcast gameplay over the Internet.

The GeForce GTX 1060-based ASUS graphics cards also feature the durability-enhanced ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 1060 and the more affordable ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1060, so there’s something for everyone.

Excellent cooling

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1060 features DirectCU III, a high performance cooling system where heat pipes are in direct contact with the GPU surface, and three fans with optimized fan geometry. Thanks to them, and cleverly designed radiator, this cooler is able to cool your graphics card at low load in passive mode, that is at zero noise level.

The cooling system of a gaming computer may be ineffective due to the fact that the algorithm of work of case fans takes into account only the temperature of the CPU, while during long gaming sessions the temperature of the graphics processor is often much higher. To address this issue, ROG Strix series graphics cards are equipped with two 4-pin sockets for system fans, with regulation based on GPU temperature. This technology is called FanConnect.

Quality and Reliability

ASUS state-of-the-art graphics cards employ a selection of components Super Alloy Power II technology that deliver unrivaled energy efficiency, cooler operation temperatures and improved performance.

High quality of the final product thanks to the fully automated manufacturing process Auto-Extreme technology , which meets more stringent environmental standards by eliminating harmful chemicals and reducing power consumption by 50%.

Colorful Aura lighting and virtual reality support

Aura backlighting with millions of colors and six different visual effects allows you to customize the look of your PC, while dual HDMI ports allow you to easily connect VR-equipped gear for an immersive virtual reality experience without disconnecting your main PC monitor.

Intuitive graphics card setup utility: GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster

Modern ASUS graphics cards are compatible with the exclusive GPU Tweak II utility, which allows for full control over the graphics on your PC. For example, the new Gaming Booster feature allows you to instantly dedicate all available processing power to your 3D application in order to maximize performance.

The software package also includes an annual license for XSplit Gamecaster, a handy tool to broadcast and record gameplay $99 for an optional license . Implemented as a superimposed interface on top of the game itself, it also displays system monitoring data GPU frequency, graphics card temperature, video memory utilization level and contains controls of GPU Tweak II utility for example, to switch between profiles with settings or instantly overclock the graphics card .

Full product line of GeForce GTX 1060 GPU-based products

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060-based graphics cards also come in Turbo and Dual Series models. The former features a customizable backlit logo and features a dual ball-bearing fan that has several times the lifespan of traditional sliding-bearing fans. The second case features two fans with optimized fan shape for increased airflow and has the same color scheme as the ASUS X99-A II motherboard.
