1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,160
so the GTX 1060 6 GB cards have been available for a while now but the

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,440
founders Edition version that we reviewed back when they launched has all

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:16,840
but disappeared from the market at this point and while finding a non-reference

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:21,840
card can also be difficult looking at this Gigabyte one for instance it's out

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:27,000
of stock at newegg.com and in low stock on Amazon at least you can get them so

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:31,720
how do they compare to the founders edition cards and how do they stack up

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,160
against the competition on AMD's side let's find

8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,840
out freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get

10
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:59,960
with the physical Hardware that Gigabyte has strapped on this GTX 1060 G1 gaming

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,920
6 GB Edition card it comes with dual wind forc 90mm fans which have striped

12
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:10,840
blades and unique curves that claim they will increase air flow by 23% when they

13
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:16,159
spin of fanless mode is included along with a bright don't worry I'm not dead

14
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,600
LED unusually however they spin in different directions seriously if you

15
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,840
look at the card without the fan spinning you'll see that the left fan

16
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,079
Scoops to the left and the right fan Scoops to the right theoretically this

17
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,520
results in a reduction of air turbulence as they both push air out the top of the

18
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:36,399
card to together does it feel like to anyone else that every year there's some

19
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:40,720
new way to just put fans on a graphics card the heat sink they sit on features

20
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:46,079
two direct touch copper heat pipes which also claim a vague 29% Improvement

21
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:52,040
bringing us to the Real Results a pretty impressive 61° C in a room temperature

22
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,880
of about 25° all while the card was

23
00:01:52,040 --> 00:02:02,759
pushing our Crisis 3 Skybox stair test and running at 1987 MHz which is 140 MHz

24
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,719
above o the advertised boost clock okay

25
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:08,800
that's actually pretty sweet but who cares about speed where's the RGB

26
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:14,040
lighting never fear the aforementioned fan stop LED is actually RGB along with

27
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,440
the Gigabyte logo just to the left of it but while the decision to include this

28
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:23,519
was great and all it does feel a little odd when paired with the Striking orange

29
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:28,239
accents on the card itself yes these are near the fans and therefore will be out

30
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:34,519
of sight in most cases but it feels like they were kind of a oversight in regards

31
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:40,680
to power the G1 comes with a 6+1 powerphase design compared to the

32
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,879
reference 3+1 setup and it has this cool

33
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:46,400
Smart LED indicator I've seen power cable indicators in the past that just

34
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,800
illuminate if you have a cable plugged in this one however flashes if there's

35
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:55,560
an issue with your power supply or illuminates if the cable is unplugged

36
00:02:53,319 --> 00:03:00,800
which makes more sense to me for output it comes with a standard setup for a GTX

37
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:05,040
1060 which is one dual link DVI d one

38
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,480
HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4

39
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:11,840
connectors which can support up to 8K at 60 HZ although good luck gaming at that

40
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,680
resolution and now if you want to learn more about the GP 106 chip that is

41
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,680
inside of this GPU check up here for our

42
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,560
launch video on the 1060 and Skip to about 1 minute and 7 seconds and if you

43
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:26,480
want to see our overview of the new software features that were released

44
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,959
with the Pascal architecture like the surprisingly interesting screenshot tool

45
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:35,959
named anel and some new VR Works features check out this GTX 1080 review

46
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:40,280
and Skip to about 1 minute and 50 seconds anyways let's move right onto

47
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:46,480
performance I tested Gigabyte's G1 gaming 1066 GB against a reference

48
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:50,680
Founders Edition 6 GB card its bigger brother the GTX 1070 in an EVGA

49
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:55,319
superclocked variant and the main competition from the other side the

50
00:03:52,920 --> 00:04:00,480
rx480 unfortunately I couldn't test it against the reason that I keep calling

51
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:04,920
it a 1066 GB the recently released

52
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,000
NVIDIA 3 GB GTX 1060 NVIDIA surprised

53
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,079
everyone with that and as we don't have one of those in office yet I was not

54
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:15,159
able to do anything with it so stay tuned for that it's able to push well

55
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:20,079
over 60 frames per second in every title we tested with maximum presets at 1080p

56
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:24,000
which NVIDIA has been pretty clear as the target resolution for this card and

57
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,320
with those settings everything looked nice and crispy it beat out it's more

58
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:33,320
expensive Founders Edition cousin although it's not too surprising in as

59
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,840
it ran about 127 MHz faster when under

60
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:39,800
load in our Crisis 3 Skybox stair test thanks to GPU boost and its better

61
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:44,320
cooler and board design the more interesting story here is how it trades

62
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:48,320
blows with the rx480 it wins by a considerable amount in crisis three and

63
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,320
Rise of the Tomb Raider and surprisingly manages a win in ashes of the

64
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:58,280
singularity as well but when we take a look at doom and Hitman there's a shift

65
00:04:55,039 --> 00:05:00,960
in the balance for power for Hitman the

66
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:06,120
Gigabyte 1060 wins in direct X1 but loses in directx12 despite both of them

67
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,680
gaining overall performance then moving to Doom Vulcan and asynchronous compute

68
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:17,120
being applied it's not even a fair contest the rx480 wins by a massive 20%

69
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:22,759
so the story continues to be what it has been NVIDIA's Pascal gpus are fast and

70
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:25,800
Gigabyte's G1 gaming variant of the 1066

71
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:27,759
GB card is a solid option with great

72
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,919
Cooling and low noise floor it even managed to stay relatively quiet under

73
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:36,319
heavy Lo but this seems to be more of an architectural battle at this point

74
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:40,919
instead of the crazy aftermarket cooler Showdown that we saw with the 700 900

75
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:45,280
series it will be interesting to see how each side holds up in about a year as

76
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:50,160
more and more games keep on coming out with Vulcan and directx12 support and

77
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:56,639
when AMD hopefully has some kind of response to NVIDIA's higher-end

78
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,280
cards do you hate weird privacy issues

79
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:02,919
that come along with traveling sitting on open Wi-Fi networks at like Starbucks

80
00:06:00,919 --> 00:06:07,120
and stuff maybe you should try tunnel bear with tunnel bear turned on your

81
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:13,840
Wi-Fi connection is secured and your online privacy is kept well private this

82
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:20,039
includes from your internet provider advertisers hackers anyone looking to

83
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:22,280
track and or profit from your data

84
00:06:20,039 --> 00:06:27,199
tunnel bear has a top rated privacy policy and does not log your activity

85
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,919
which is good you can try for free with 500 megabytes and no credit card

86
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,400
required and if you choose to get a year

87
00:06:32,919 --> 00:06:39,400
of unlimited data you can save 10% by

out this video to see our previous 1060 video on the founders Edition that I

92
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,319
referenced earlier check the link the video description down below to buy

93
00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:02,240
stuff at Amazon or get a cool t-shirt that isn't this one and I said that for

94
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:08,400
the first time while wearing a lonus techtips logoed shirt Get Wrecked this

95
00:07:04,599 --> 00:07:10,240
is for pack we're going there tomorrow

96
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:15,800
so I'm going to end the video now because I think I said everything that I

97
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:15,800
have to okay
