Sup guys. I got a 1060 here as stated in the title. As soon as I opened the box, I went straight for a visual inspection.
Upon inspection (without taking it apart) I've discovered something I'm not sure about. The 8gb cards have 8 memory
modules surrounding the GPU die. On this 1060, I expected 6. Looking at this 1060, it appears to have 8 modules, but
I can't be sure. There's 3 modules above the die, 3 to the right, and what appears to be 2 more to the left. All the pads
seem to be making contact to the VRAMs above and to the right, but the 2 at the left have a nice gap. Can anyone tell
me what I'm looking at here ? are the 2 chips to the left VRAM modules or something else ? Can't use my 1070FTW
cause its in pieces waiting for EVGA to send out their pads (which is taking too long btw !), and now I got a 1060FTW
that I'm too worried to fire up. Any clarification here would be great, thanks.

Really, no-one ?

Got some pics? Sounds like you received an 8GB 1060. 

Its brand new and I don't wanna break it down just yet. They appear to be VRAM modules to the left, but could be entirely
something else that doesn't need heatsinking, idk. The traces on the back of the pcb look quite simular to the other modules.
I would've thought the 6gb cards would have just 6 VRAM modules in total. I'm looking from at the edge of the card btw,
that's the only point of direct observation I have right now, and there clearly are gaps above those components. I found a
ton of pcb pics on google for the single fan 1060's, but couldn't find much on the dual fan models. Its driving me crazy lol.

Well this is sad, yet another EVGA card that's stopped me in my tracks. I just wanna know
what I'm looking at here without having to take the damn thing apart like the other one.

Do you mean something like this? (It's a 1080, but to have an idea)
 

 
This is a GTX 1060 "large" (not sure about the model), but seems those 2 slots are empty?

 
I would want to see photos too ;)

Its a long length board like the top pic, it may even be a reference pcb, idk. I did look at pictures of other 1060's made by other
manufacturers, but couldn't resolve what those 2 chips on the left are. From the top they look different to the other VRAMs. Hmm.

I don't think that such a card exists lol.

Here is the 1060 FTW+ 6GB PCB...

Where exactly are you looking? Where the red circles are?

Correct.
