Would this GTX 1060 be compatible with my rig?

phillo · Aug 29, 2016

Hey guys,

Here are my PC specs:

MOBO: Gigabyte z77-d3h
CPU: i5 2500K
GPU: GTX 680
RAM: 4GB Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz x 4
PSU: Corsair 750

I'm thinking about swapping my 680 card for a new Zotac 1060 mini (my case is quite small). Would it be compatible with the rest of my hardware?

Here's the link to the new card:

Thanks

With the 1060 and 1070 cards check th4e length of the card to see if will fit in your case- I believe it is a good deal longer.

He chose a small single fan 1060.

This is probably a stupid a question (I'm new to PC building) but the mini card is for the sole benefit of smaller cases I'm assuming?

Yes it is , a fine choice for smaller cases.
