The ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1060 Mini gpu features one of the smallest configurations of a GTX 1060 at 174mm long by 111mm tall. Along with the size, the Zotac sports a single 90mm fan directly over an unassuming heatsink hidden beneath the shroud. While other companies like Gigabyte have managed to supply a backplate at the $250 price point Zotac has not.
Display options include 3 display port 1.4 ports, a single hdmi 2.0b and a single dual link dvi.
Next we have 6pin power adapter with a sad 3+1 power phase, which supplies a measly 120 watts like previous generations.
Under the hood the card sports a 1708mhz boost clock which we were able to push to 2100MHz with overclocking. It communicates with 6GB of GDDR5 memory over a tiny 192bit bus at 8000MHz effective clock.
Temps in the Cooler Master XB Evo case proved to be more than acceptable with temperatures never surpassing 75 degrees celsius while overclocked. Here are the benchmarks:
In conclusion,
While the Zotac 1060 Mini keeps up with the competition it regularly falls significantly short in some applications. However, it does perform more predictably across the board. If you are looking for a no frills solution for pc gaming and are limited on space in your case, this is a great option. If you are looking for the most bang for your buck at this price point you may want to consider another option.
