Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition (6GB GDDR5)

The Packaging

Due to the smaller foot print of the graphics card, the box and packaging is smaller and more compact. It advertises the main selling points which are … 6GB GDDR5 ram, Ice Storm cooling and Freeze-Tech. It also shows the support for GameWorks, VR Works, G-Sync, DX12 and it’s VR-Ready.

Inside the box, you’ll find the GeForce GTX 1060 card itself, a PCIE power cable and a quick startup guide and that’s it! There’s no drivers disk or instruction manual.

 

A Closer Look

Measuring just 210mm x 128mm, the card is much smaller and compact than its bigger brother, the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 … Having said that, it still takes up 2 PCI slot space, but it should be fine for a majority of ATX chassis.

The fans look pretty standard (no EKO fans here), the FreezeTech feature will only spin the fan when the card reaches a certain temperature (or at full load). Interestingly, the heatsink features 2 large copper heatpipes which look quite beefy, and should do a good job of dissipating the excess heat.

On the I/O panel, you find 3 DisplayPort, 1 HDMI and one DVI connector, which is more than enough for most users.
