Does the Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB have RGB lighting?

There are no lights whatsoever on this model of GPU. There may be a white LED near the power connector to show when the power cables are properly seated and good/stable power delivery is underway (gigabyte likes to do this on some of their GPU's) but that is the extent of any lighting it may have (and even then i don't think this model has that feature)

Based on foreign's gaming tech's Which GTX 1060 to buy? 35 different cards compared video, he provided a link below to a spreadsheet comparing all 35 different models of the GTX 1060. Now, the spreadsheet stated that the Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB has "partial" RGB lighting although the card's product page says nothing at all about lighting of any sort. Is this true? Does this card come with at least a little lighting? HERE's the spreadsheet of all the GTX 1060s. Thanks! :)

The logo on the backplate or the smaller one beside the power connector? :)

Where in the first link does it say that the card will light up? By the way, in the second link, its a Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (see the box in the first pic of his build) and probably its just a mistake in the parts list. :(

That's a bummer. Well, at least the backplate looks the best compared to the ones that have RGB like the GTX 1060 D5 and the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (both from Gigabyte). :)

So, @Zyndo and @RKRiley does the Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6GB have any sort of lighting? Both of you went AFK lol :)

Ok thanks! I probably didn't read everything thoroughly enough. By the way, how did you know the GPU doesn't have any lighting whatsoever? Just curious. Thanks again! :)

by doing my own research and using youtube/google/pcpartpicker instead of asking a forum about it.

check the pictures there. in a system that is functioning and on, the GPU has no lightup effects whatsoever (picture 3 shows you a good example).
