For a while now there has been some chatter on the web that Nvidia would be releasing or at least preparing a new GeForce GTX 1060, it seems the mystery has been solved. Nvidia is to launch a new GeForce GTX 1060 with 5GB Graphics Memory.

The reason behind the new model is that it will be aimed at Internet Cafe's, hugely popular in Asia, as Expreview reports. Three GB is too little, 5 GB seems to be a little more cost effective. A photo of the 5GB paired GPU also already appeared:

It is reported and thus now visually confirmed that that the GPU used is the GP106-350-K3-A1 which holds it's original 1280 shader processors. However, the lacking GDDR5 chip would have an effect on the memory bus, which would be a 160-bit. Again, we think this model is aimed at the Asia market only.
