NVIDIA is preparing a new graphics card based on its GTX 1060. That will be aimed at offering a cheaper solution for Chinese cybercafes. This GTX 1060 will suffer a small cut in terms of memory. That is concerning by eliminating a GDDR5 memory chip to offer 5GB with a 160bit bus. Also, it is a bus that has also been cut from the 192 bit eliminating one of the memory controllers. Also, that change will also reduce the memory bandwidth up to 160 GB/s (192 GB/s in the original GTX 1060).

Otherwise, this new GPU, with the silicon GP106-350-K3-A1 will not suffer cuts of CUDA cores. That is because it will continue to equip the same 1280 CUDA cores than the 6GB model. Undoubtedly, this will offer Chinese cybercafes the ability to run all competitive games at 1080p and 60fps with many guarantees, in addition to offering a reduced price and availability for mass purchases exclusively for this type of business.

As it is designed for this type of task, I am afraid that in Europe we will not see it. Although on the other hand, this model could offer an intermediate price between the 3GB GTX 1060 and the 6GB models, with a very interesting performance and memory consumption.
