EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC Gaming Review

A quote from the article:
Small yet nippy, just the way GTX 1060 ought to be? Priced at £260 and measuring 173mm in length, this dual-slot take on Nvidia's 200mm² GPU is one of the shortest to date and stands out as a prime candidate for mini-ITX PCs. Do be careful when browsing the retail shelves, however, as the same cooler design is applied to multiple models, including a new 3GB card which appears attractive at £195 but has, unusually, been revealed to have fewer shaders.

It's the full-fat, 6GB card on the test bench today, meaning 1,280 shaders, 80 texture units and 48 render output units allied to the frame buffer via a 192-bit bus. These 16nm credentials are a good fit for a card of this size, and EVGA's implementation is neat and tidy. The heatsink shroud is pleasant in appearance, the solitary fan should have no trouble taming the underlying GPU, and contrary to the recent trend, there are no flashy LEDs to speak of.
