Grab An EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 At A Discounted Price Of $150 On Newegg

EVGA is known for its small form factor cards for micro-ATX boards and smaller cabinets, and the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 delivers greatly. The card is available at a very cheap price on Newegg and must be considered by anyone who wants to game at a respectable graphic setting at 1080p.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 gets a discounted price of $170 and gets a further $20 mail-in rebate. The card, therefore, retails at a total of $150 at Newegg. Compared to this discount, the base price of the GTX 1060 varies between $190 and $210.  

Hot Hardware gives a grand rating to the GTX 1060, and for all the right reasons. The card is a must have for a middle-budget PC gamer. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 is tiny, measuring 6.8-inch long and is suitable for small cabinets. Its low profile feature allows many gamers to choose this over the base model's 10.5-inch length.

Though small, this card does not skip out on EVGA's proprietary ACX 2.0 cooling solution. The ACX 2.0 has a dual slotted cooler with a single fan. Clock-speeds of the 3GB card is comparable to the base models, as the base clock is around 1506 MHz and 1708 MHz for the boost clock.

According to PC Gamer, there is a bit of overclocking potential, but that would mean the card would run hot and the single fan cooling solution would not be able to keep up with the high temperatures. Coupled that with the cramped space of small cabinets with not enough ventilation and airflow would result in the card getting exceptionally hot.

The card has three display port 1.4 outputs, an HDMI 2.0b connector. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 also gets a dual link DVI-D port. The card is very power friendly and has a very manageable TDP. In fact, the card would work perfectly in a PSU having a gold rating and 450 Watts of power. The card draws power with the help of a 6-pin PCI-E connector.
