NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 gets a 5GB GDDR5 variant in Asia

NVIDIA added another GP106 based product to its lineup. VideoCardz spotted the GP106-350-K3-A1, a new GPU that's used by a GeForce GTX 1060 video card with 6GB GDDR5 memory.

This version has 1280 CUDA cores, which is the full core count of the GP1060, but it has a 160-bit instead of a 192-bit memory bus. The GeForce GTX 1060 5GB is primarily intended for internet cafes and will probably be hard to find outside Asia.

The extra memory should improve 1080p gaming performance, a use case where the 3GB version lacks a little oomph.
