GTX 1060 Monitor

sausersir

Can a GTX 1060 6GB run a 4K 60Hz IPS monitor and a 1080p 144Hz monitor at the same time, I'll be gaming (some light e sports game) on the 144hz monitor and edit on the 4K monitor. I've heard that the 144hz performance will decrease, is that true?

No, you'll be fine. At the absolute most you might see a reduction of like 3 fps. Obviously if you're doing something on the other monitor like editing a video (i don't know how you can do that at the same time though lol) then you'll see reduced performance, but that's cause of the CPU not GPU.

I game on my GTX 1060 6Gb with 1080p 144Hz monitor, and easily run World of Tanks on HD Client fully ultra graphical setting (all set to the max value) reaches 120-135 fps with V-Sync off, but I like to enable the V-Sync because I can get smoother frames.

You'll be totally fine. One thing that might happen is if you have something running on your 60Hz monitor (a video or something that 'moves') you will see some stutter on your 144Hz monitor (no fps drop, just stutter) because NVIDIA things (I don't really know why that happens). But besides that you'll be totally fine and the 1060 is a great GPU.
