the 1060 doesn't have an SLI connector > mostlikely doesn't support it

The rumor I saw yesterday said that only the 3GB model doesn't have an SLI connector. But, Nvidia didn't even announce the rumored 3GB model today. So, the question is, does the 6GB model have a connector or not? There has yet to be an official statement from Nvidia on the matter afaik. 

If 1060 doesn't have an SLI connector, I'll probably go with RX 480 honestly (or RX480x/485 depending on how long it takes AMD to release it). My current plan is to upgrade just my GPU since my current i3 CPU is good enough to not significantly bottleneck most games for the time being. Then, later on I was going to upgrade my CPU and motherboard if I discovered a game that was a significant CPU bottleneck. Then eventually I was going to buy a 2nd graphics card for SLI/Crossfire once 1080p/Ultra is no longer possible with 1 card. If 1060 can't be SLI'd, that automatically puts it at a significant disadvantage for my purposes. NO SLI is a pretty big oversight by Nvidia imo. Maybe I could get by with just a single 1060 for the time being, then sell it and get a 1160 or RX 580 once they release, but I don't know how viable of a plan that would be honestly.

That's what I'm gonna do.
