Asus GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Phoenix keeps it simple
by from Techreport on (#2JR39)
Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060 is a cool customer for a graphics card, delivering meaty performance while keeping power draw and noise levels down. The smaller GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB is roughly neck-and-neck with the 4 GB version of AMD's Radeon RX 470 in performance but comes out ahead in terms of power efficiency. With this backstory in place, the arrival of Asus' somewhat-diminutive GeForce GTX 1060 3GB Phoenix graphics card makes a lot of sense. The Phoenix capitalizes on the GTX 1060's efficiency by using a smaller, less complex cooler than the company's other GTX 1060 offerings.
