With the power limit at 110 percent and the temperature limit at 92°C, we were able to overclock the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming by an additional 120MHz beyond its OC Mode, giving us base and boost clocks of 1,741MHz and 1,956MHz respectively. This is more than a 7 percent increase, or almost 16 percent compared to reference speeds, which is solid. We didn’t need any additional voltage, and no amount of extra voltage allowed us to reach a higher clock.

The memory was also stable up to 9.3Gbps effective, another decent overclock of just over 16 percent.

Introduction

Making a high-performance graphics card is easy these days, just take a large PCB, stick a huge heat sink on it, and a bunch of fans, and overclock the heck out of it. There’s only one problem, that graphics card is going to be pretty big, and not much use to those eager to build a compact mini-ITX gaming system. With the introduction of the latest Pascal architecture, the latest Nvidia cards are not only faster but also more efficient than ever before. Lower power requirements mean less heat, which also means it’s easier to cool. This has allowed GIGABYTE to create a GTX 1060 in a tiny form factor with the GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC!

Features

  • Powered by GeForce® GTX 1060
  • Integrated with 6GB GDDR5 192bit memory
  • 90mm cooler with 3D active fan
  • One-click Super Overclocking
  • 17cm Compact Card Size

Core Clock

  • Boost: 1771MHz/ Base: 1556 MHz in OC Mode
  • Boost: 1746 MHz/ Base: 1531 MHz in Gaming Mode

While it may pack a power GTX 1060 GPU core, and some pretty decent clocks and 6GB of VRAM, the Mini-ITX OC is just 169mm long! Yet despite its compact size, it’s still equipped with a powerful 90mm fan and 2 pure copper heat-pipes that promise to deliver excellent cooling performance. If that wasn’t enough, it’s even run completely silent in low-load/low-temperature scenarios.

Packaging

At around £230, this compact card sounds like a winner on paper, but let’s take a closer look at what it has to offer and see what it can do on our test bench!

NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 review and overclocking

PC, PC and laptop accessories

The

NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 is one of Gigabyte’s more affordable versions. The video card belongs to the WindForce line and is equipped with a heatsink with two fans of a simpler design. Let’s see how effective this cooling is and what users of GeForce GTX 1060 WindForce OC 6G overclocking can expect.

In this review, we will talk about this video card. And also about how to overclock it for mining.

Appearance and equipment

This model has the same visual style as Gigabyte. The plastic case has a recognizable shape and several red elements. The cooling system occupies two slots. At first glance, the Gigabyte WindForce looks no different from Gigabyte’s gaming graphics cards, but the latter have a cooler with a more efficient design. And even the size of a gigabyte gaming video card is larger. The version in question is 22 cm long.

A heat pipe appears on the side. In the corner is an eight-pin power connector. The lack of logo illumination is an attribute of the most expensive Gigabyte video cards. There are four video outputs on the rear panel: DisplayPort, HDMI and two DVI-D.

The cooler itself looks very simple. It is a one-piece heat sink and heat pipe. Similar designs are often used on simpler graphics cards. It is worth remembering that the reference GeForce GTX 1060 is equipped with turbine-type cooling with a fan. Therefore, even this option has its advantages.

Overclocking software NVidia GeForce GTX 1060

MSI Afterburner is better for overclocking.
FurMark (usually a donut) will provide a quality stress test that determines the maximum performance of our graphics card.

GPU-Z will display all information about the video card. It can be useful for surveillance, monitoring.

Beginners need to point out right away that a certain “death” for any video card is a high temperature.

Usually, not wanting to understand the nuances of overclocking, beginners immediately add voltage to the video card (thereby increasing how much they increase the performance, how much they increase the voltage on the board) and it will soon turn off forever.

Video card overclocking

And so, let’s start overclocking the video card.

The first step is to work with MSI Afterburner. See Power limit slider. Increase the slider to 109%. This configuration will allow our GTX 1060 to run at higher frequencies.

Fan speed (fan speed) set to 60%.

Apply the settings using the Apply button.

Before the next step, make sure that the Apply settings at the start of the operating system check box is unchecked (bottom). If something does not go according to plan, we can simply restart Windows and all settings will return to their original state.

The second stage of overclocking is working with the Memory Clock parameter. Add ~ 40 MHz to the initial value, save the settings with the Apply button. If the card is stable and there are no errors, repeat the procedure and add another memory frequency.

As soon as errors, artifacts and other abnormalities start to appear, return to the settings and save the value.
