1060 in a pcie2 x16 slot

[stryxen]

Could I put a GTX 1060 8gb in a pc that has a pcie2 x16 slot?

 

[jay32267]

Yes....but I think the 1060 is 3GB or 6GB.

 

[feelinfroggy777]

Yeah, PCIe 2.0 is plenty of bandwidth for a 1060.

 

[gasaraki]

Yes, should give you the same performance.

 

[WildCard999]

Yes....but I think the 1060 is 3GB or 6GB.

There's also a 5gb version.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes you can , and it won't hurt the 1060 6gb performance.
