While we seen it teased earlier, ASUS' upcoming Geforce GTX 1060 STRIX has now been fully detailed and it appears there will be two models, stock and factory-overclocked.

Both ASUS GTX 1060 STRIX models will be based on the same custom PCB with 6+1-phase VRM, drawing power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector as well as the same triple-fan DirectCU III cooler, backplate as well as ASUS AURA RGB lighting, on both the shroud and the fans.




According to a set of slides leaked by Videocardz.com, ASUS will have two models, one with stock frequencies and one with factory-overclocked clocks. The factory-overclocked model will have two modes, Gaming and OC mode.

The card will work at 1645MHz for the base GPU clock and 1873MHz for the GPU boost clock in OC mode, while Gaming mode will push it down slightly to 1620MHz for the GPU base and 1847MHz for the GPU boost clock.




The other version of the GTX 1060 STRIX will feature reference GPU clocks of 1506MHz for the GPU base and 1708MHz for the GPU Boost clock.




As detailed earlier, the GTX 1060 is based on the GP106-400 GPU and comes with 6GB of GDDR5 memory, clocked at 8000MHz and paired up with a 192-bit memory interface. There were also some rumors that there will be a GTX 1060 with 3GB of memory and lower number of CUDA cores, but newest rumors suggest this one will launch as the GTX 1050 sometime in December.

The ASUS GTX 1060 STRIX models have two HDMI, two DisplayPort and single DVI display outputs.

The entire ASUS GTX 1060 lineup, including the two STRIX series versions, should be officially announced on July 19th and be available shortly after, since earlier rumors suggest that only Nvidia will be selling the Founders Edition.
