ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Strix GeForce GTX 1060

All-new VR-ready gaming graphics card
outshines the competition with leveled-up performance and Aura RGB Lighting

 

Singapore, 22nd
July 2016 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced
Strix GeForce® GTX 1060, an all-new VR-ready gaming graphics card
with ultra-fast gaming performance, advanced cooling and reliability, and
personalized styling. Powered by the latest NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 1060
graphics processing unit (GPU), clocked at 1873MHz in OC mode, ROG Strix
GeForce GTX 1060 delivers up to 5%-faster performance than reference cards in
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme and 6.5%‑faster gaming performance in Doom®.

ROG Strix
GeForce GTX 1060 is packed with exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU
III with a patented triple wing-blade 0dB fan designed to deliver maximum
airflow for 30%-cooler and three-times (3X) quieter performance, and ASUS
FanConnect, which features GPU-controlled fan headers to connect to system fans
for targeted supplemental cooling. Industry-exclusive Auto-Extreme technology
with Super Alloy Power II components ensures premium quality and reliability.

ROG Strix
GeForce GTX 1060 enables complete gaming system personalization with Aura RGB
Lighting. A VR-friendly design with two HDMI ports lets gamers always keep a
virtual-reality (VR) device and a monitor connected to their system for
immersive gaming anytime. It also includes GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster
for intuitive performance tweaking and instant gameplay streaming.

Also available in the GeForce GTX 1060 lineup
are the ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 1060 and ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1060 graphics
cards. ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX provides up to four-times (4X)-longer lifespan
and ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1060 delivers ‘sweet-spot’ graphics performance,
giving gamers more choices when building the perfect system.

ROG
Strix GeForce GTX 1060 is equipped with ASUS DirectCU III cooling technology,
which features direct-GPU-contact heatpipes that transport more heat away from
the GPU, outperforming reference designs and achieving up to 30% cooler gaming
performance. DirectCU III technology includes triple 0dB fans, engineered with
a patented wing-blade design that delivers maximum airflow and improves static
pressure over the heatsink by 105%, while operating at three-times (3X) quieter
volume than reference cards.

ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1060 also comes with ASUS
FanConnect technology. When gaming, the GPU often runs hotter than the CPU, but
chassis fans usually only reference CPU temperatures, resulting in inefficient
system cooling. ASUS FanConnect solves this issue with two four-pin
GPU-controlled headers that can be connected to system fans to provide targeted
supplemental cooling for optimal thermal performance.

All ASUS
graphics cards are now produced using Auto-Extreme technology, an
industry-exclusive, 100%‑automated production process that incorporates premium
materials to set a new standard of quality. Auto-Extreme technology ensures
consistent graphics card quality as well as improved performance and longevity.
This new manufacturing process is also environmentally friendly, eliminating
harsh chemicals and reducing power consumption by 50%.

Super Alloy
Power II components enhance efficiency, reduce power loss, reduce component
buzzing by 50% while under full load, and achieve thermal levels that are
approximately 50% cooler than previous designs for enhanced quality and
reliability.

ROG Strix
GeForce GTX 1060 includes ASUS Aura RGB Lighting on the shroud. This stunning
illumination technology is capable of displaying millions of colors and six
different effects for a totally personalized gaming system. ROG Strix GeForce
GTX 1060 also has a VR-friendly design with two HDMI ports that let gamers
connect a VR device and display at the same time, so they can enjoy immersive VR
experiences anytime without having to swap cables.

Redesigned
with an intuitive user interface, GPU Tweak II makes gaming and overclocking
easier than ever, while retaining advanced options for seasoned overclockers.
With one click, the Gaming Booster function maximizes system performance by
removing redundant processes and allocating all available resources
automatically. An included one-year XSplit Gamecaster premium license — a $99
value — lets gamers easily stream or record gameplay via a convenient, in-game
overlay. The overlay also displays GPU clock speed, temperature, and VRM usage,
and has GPU Tweak II controls, so gamers can choose a gaming profile and boost
performance with just one click.

ASUS Turbo GeForce
GTX 1060 and ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1060 are also available in the ASUS GeForce
GTX 1060 lineup. ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 1060 comes with a dual ball-bearing fan
that provides an up to four-times (4X)-longer card lifespan and a customizable
backlit logo for system personalization. ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1060 delivers ‘sweet-spot’
graphics performance and features two patented wing-blade fans for maximum
airflow with 105% more air pressure and a color theme that perfectly matches
the ASUS X99-A II motherboard.

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce
GTX 1060 is available for $589 in Singapore.
