(Edit Below) Original Review:
Just a heads up, this is the GTX 1060 6GT OCV1, rather than the GTX 1060 Armor 6G OCV1,
This has a few implications.
This card (6GT OCV1) has:
DisplayPort x 1
HDMI x 1
Dual-link DVI-D x 1
Supporting up to 3 monitors at once
whereas the Armor 6G OCV1 (the card this is advertised as) has:
DisplayPort x 2
HDMI x 2
Dual-link DVI-D x 1
Supporting up to 4 monitors at once
Another difference is that this card (6GT OCV1) only requires one 6 pin power connector, whereas the Armor 6G OCV1 requires one 8 pin power connector. My understanding is that this may impact on the cards overclocking capability, as it will have a lower maximum power draw.
They also have different heat shroud designs.

I wrote this 'review' (and gave it a 3 star rating) to draw attention to the fact that this was at the time incorrectly advertised in the title (its an easy mistake to make thanks to MSI's wonderful naming system), I will however leave this up for comparisons sake.
I've also just realised it's again listed differently in the 'Series' section of the technical details. The 6GT OC was the first version of this card that only supported two monitors at once and was slightly longer. It is finally correctly listed in the 'Graphics Card Description' section.
From my personal experience i have never had any issues with MSI graphics cards (motherboards are another matter) and am i very satisfied owner of the Armor G6 OCV1 (the card this was once advertised as)
I had included links to the relevant product pages from MSI's website below, but was unaware when writing this originally that amazon removes any links (that are not to other Amazon products) from reviews. You can find all of the GTX 1060 full specifications by navigating to MSI's website, clicking products on the top bar, then clicking 'Graphics Cards' from the drop down menu. On the next page you can select the GeForce GTX 1060 filter from the left hand side.
Happy Gaming!
