Manufacturer description
Working good condition GDDR5 3gb 1060 GPU. Great for light gaming and upgrading a PC that doesn't have a dedicated GPU already installed. This came in an HP computer and was almost immediately swapped out for a larger card for heavy AI generation use. no damage, minimal use, no gaming or crypto mining usage, literally just used for a few weeks with stock PC and then left on the shelf.
