The Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition does not come with Exoarmor … and there’s no need. The card is less power hungry and therefore produces less heat. There is a nice Zotac logo with LED which lights up when the system is powered on.

There are no SLI bridge connections on the PCB, which sadly means it will not support SLI multi-GPU configurations.

The card only has one 6-pin PCIE power connector, which is great news. It means that the power consumption should be much lower than your GTX 1070 and GTX 1080.
