Before you buy
Check that your motherboard has a free PCI Express x16 slot and measure your case for the card’s length. Make sure your power supply has a spare PCIe power cable and enough capacity for a GTX 1060 system. Compare the outputs with your monitor’s inputs, then install the latest NVIDIA GeForce driver, removing any old graphics drivers first so the card is detected cleanly.
