Dual or Single GPU

[Guest]

Hi, so I just wanted to check if this card in particular has a dual GPU or a single GPU. I'm asking this because I keep seeing a 3 GB and a 6 GB version. Assuming that if it's dual each chip would get 3 GB of VRAM. I assume it's single, but I figure I'd ask to be sure.

single gpu, no pain in asking my guy, also please get the 6GB version, the 3GB is some booty

How can you tell?

It is a single GPU. Don't get the 3gb version, it is really a different chip all together and it isnt a great value compared to the rx 480. The 6gb 1060 is good though.

It's a well know fact

If you are looking at nvidia 10 series cards they all should be single GPU card.

I'm asking for your reference.

Scroll down to the spec section. Like the guy above said, every card in the 10 series are single GPU cards

Okay, do you have a source or reference?

Spoiler

 

Notice the one gpu, compared to an r9 295 x2, a dual gpu card from AMD (below)

you can find your own images like this from google images if you are still skeptical. I simply googled gtx 1060 PCB.

I take it the top one is a 1060?

Correct.

You can't crossfire 1060's. Also, each GPU would have to split the 3 GB VRAM as only the VRAM of the master card will be utilised. So go for the 1060 6gb. Don't go for the 3gb and crossfire them because you would be missing out a lot of perfomance in form of VRAM bottlenecking

*SLI, and you totally missed the point of the orginal post. OP was asking if the Graphics card was a dual GPU card like the radeon pro duo or 295 x2

I would take your own advice on that one. You are forgiven for posting your logical reasoning.

Single,

but where have you been since the launch of pascal? These cards have been out for like 8+ months already. Do you just not ever use the Graphics Card subforum or were you just unexplainably out of the loop?

Gotta love it when more people don't read the other posts too. 

 

Been there since the start, but as you can't see... from the original post... I assumed it was a single GPU, but I wanted to be sure so I asked...

Of course you can't, Crossfire is AMD technology

Dude why are you being so rude to people. Even if they said something dumb it's probably because you confused them by asking if a card had one GPU in it which is super obvious
