Gigabyte’s GTX 1060 WINDFORCE 5GB OC

The GTX 1060 5GB will feature a 160-bit memory bus and 8008 MHz memory speeds to deliver 160GB/s of memory bandwidth. This smaller memory bus gives this GPU 32GB/s less memory bandwidth than the GPU’s 6GB variant, though clock speeds are said to be identical, with base/boost clock speeds of 1582/1797MHz in OC Mode and 1556.1771 MHz in Gaming Mode.  

These leaked images of Gigabyte’s GTX 1060 5GB are identical to existing pictures of the card’s 6GB variant, making the legitimacy of these leaks dubious. That being said, it would be wasted effort for Gigabyte to create new stock images for this new GPU variant, given the fact that is nigh identical to their existing 6GB version. We are not saying that these rumours are false, just that they could be easily fabricated.
