Does cards like GTX 1060 STRIX OC use more wattage than normal GTX 1060? GTX 1060 loads about 120 Watts, so i was just thinking does STRIX OC load like 140 watt? I've got 500 watt psu, but i still want to be sure.

most card still use the same power, unless u're extending the power limit too

usually cards that can utilize more power [either because it's designed to do so / just for the sake of extra OC headroom] they will have extra power connector and or had extra power limit headroom when u use OCing apps like MSI Afterburner, EVGA PrecisionX, etc
