okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"so the GTX 1060 6 GB cards have been available for a while now but the founders Edition version that we reviewed back when they launched has all but disappeared from the market at this point and while finding a non-reference card can also be difficult looking at this Gigabyte one for instance it's out of stock at newegg.com and in low stock on Amazon at least you can get them so how do they compare to the founders edition cards and how do they stack up against the competition on AMD's side let's find out freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get organized save time and get paid faster click now to try it for free starting with the physical Hardware that Gigabyte has strapped on this GTX 1060 G1 gaming 6 GB Edition card it comes with dual wind forc 90mm fans which have striped blades and unique curves that claim they will increase air flow by 23% when they spin of fanless mode is included along with a bright don't worry I'm not dead LED unusually however they spin in different directions seriously if you look at the card without the fan spinning you'll see that the left fan Scoops to the left and the right fan Scoops to the right theoretically this results in a reduction of air turbulence as they both push air out the top of the card to together does it feel like to anyone else that every year there's some new way to just put fans on a graphics card the heat sink they sit on features two direct touch copper heat pipes which also claim a vague 29% Improvement bringing us to the Real Results a pretty impressive 61° C in a room temperature of about 25° all while the card was pushing our Crisis 3 Skybox stair test and running at 1987 MHz which is 140 MHz above o the advertised boost clock okay that's actually pretty sweet but who cares about speed where's the RGB lighting never fear the aforementioned fan stop LED is actually RGB along with the Gigabyte logo just to the left of it but while the decision to include this was great and all it does feel a little odd when paired with the Striking orange accents on the card itself yes these are near the fans and therefore will be out of sight in most cases but it feels like they were kind of a oversight in regards to power the G1 comes with a 6+1 powerphase design compared to the reference 3+1 setup and it has this cool Smart LED indicator I've seen power cable indicators in the past that just illuminate if you have a cable plugged in this one however flashes if there's an issue with your power supply or illuminates if the cable is unplugged which makes more sense to me for output it comes with a standard setup for a GTX 1060 which is one dual link DVI d one HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors which can support up to 8K at 60 HZ although good luck gaming at that resolution and now if you want to learn more about the GP 106 chip that is inside of this GPU check up here for our launch video on the 1060 and Skip to about 1 minute and 7 seconds and if you want to see our overview of the new software features that were released with the Pascal architecture like the surprisingly interesting screenshot tool named anel and some new VR Works features check out this GTX 1080 review and Skip to about 1 minute and 50 seconds anyways let's move right onto performance I tested Gigabyte's G1 gaming 1066 GB against a reference Founders Edition 6 GB card its bigger brother the GTX 1070 in an EVGA superclocked variant and the main competition from the other side the rx480 unfortunately I couldn't test it against the reason that I keep calling it a 1066 GB the recently released NVIDIA 3 GB GTX 1060 NVIDIA surprised everyone with that and as we don't have one of those in office yet I was not able to do anything with it so stay tuned for that it's able to push well over 60 frames per second in every title we tested with maximum presets at 1080p which NVIDIA has been pretty clear as the target resolution for this card and with those settings everything looked nice and crispy it beat out it's more expensive Founders Edition cousin although it's not too surprising in as it ran about 127 MHz faster when under load in our Crisis 3 Skybox stair test thanks to GPU boost and its better cooler and board design the more interesting story here is how it trades blows with the rx480 it wins by a considerable amount in crisis three and Rise of the Tomb Raider and surprisingly manages a win in ashes of the singularity as well but when we take a look at doom and Hitman there's a shift in the balance for power for Hitman the Gigabyte 1060 wins in direct X1 but loses in directx12 despite both of them gaining overall performance then moving to Doom Vulcan and asynchronous compute being applied it's not even a fair contest the rx480 wins by a massive 20% so the story continues to be what it has been NVIDIA's Pascal gpus are fast and Gigabyte's G1 gaming variant of the 1066 GB card is a solid option with great Cooling and low noise floor it even managed to stay relatively quiet under heavy Lo but this seems to be more of an architectural battle at this point instead of the crazy aftermarket cooler Showdown that we saw with the 700 900 series it will be interesting to see how each side holds up in about a year as more and more games keep on coming out with Vulcan and directx12 support and when AMD hopefully has some kind of response to NVIDIA's higher-end cards do you hate weird privacy issues that come along with traveling sitting on open Wi-Fi networks at like Starbucks and stuff maybe you should try tunnel bear with tunnel bear turned on your Wi-Fi connection is secured and your online privacy is kept well private this includes from your internet provider advertisers hackers anyone looking to track and or profit from your data tunnel bear has a top rated privacy policy and does not log your activity which is good you can try for free with 500 megabytes

subscribe all that kind of stuff if you hated it hit the dislike button um check out this video to see our previous 1060 video on the founders Edition that I referenced earlier check the link the video description down below to buy stuff at Amazon or get a cool t-shirt that isn't this one and I said that for the first time while wearing a lonus techtips logoed shirt Get Wrecked this is for
