00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.160
so the GTX 1060 6 GB cards have been available for a while now but the

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.440
founders Edition version that we reviewed back when they launched has all

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:16.840
but disappeared from the market at this point and while finding a non-reference

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:21.840
card can also be difficult looking at this Gigabyte one for instance it's out

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

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.720
how do they compare to the founders edition cards and how do they stack up

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.160
against the competition on AMD's side let's find

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:48.840
out freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get

00:00:46.199 --> 00:00:52.800
organized save time and get paid faster click now to try it for free starting

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:59.960
with the physical Hardware that Gigabyte has strapped on this GTX 1060 G1 gaming

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:04.920
6 GB Edition card it comes with dual wind forc 90mm fans which have striped

00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:10.840
blades and unique curves that claim they will increase air flow by 23% when they

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

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:19.600
LED unusually however they spin in different directions seriously if you

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.840
look at the card without the fan spinning you'll see that the left fan

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:27.079
Scoops to the left and the right fan Scoops to the right theoretically this

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

00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:36.399
card to together does it feel like to anyone else that every year there's some

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

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:46.079
two direct touch copper heat pipes which also claim a vague 29% Improvement

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:52.040
bringing us to the Real Results a pretty impressive 61° C in a room temperature

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:54.880
of about 25° all while the card was

00:01:52.040 --> 00:02:02.759
pushing our Crisis 3 Skybox stair test and running at 1987 MHz which is 140 MHz

00:01:59.600 --> 00:02:04.719
above o the advertised boost clock okay

00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:08.800
that's actually pretty sweet but who cares about speed where's the RGB

00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:14.040
lighting never fear the aforementioned fan stop LED is actually RGB along with

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.440
the Gigabyte logo just to the left of it but while the decision to include this

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:23.519
was great and all it does feel a little odd when paired with the Striking orange

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:28.239
accents on the card itself yes these are near the fans and therefore will be out

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

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:40.680
to power the G1 comes with a 6+1 powerphase design compared to the

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:42.879
reference 3+1 setup and it has this cool

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.400
Smart LED indicator I've seen power cable indicators in the past that just

00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:50.800
illuminate if you have a cable plugged in this one however flashes if there's

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:55.560
an issue with your power supply or illuminates if the cable is unplugged

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

00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:05.040
1060 which is one dual link DVI d one

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.480
HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:11.840
connectors which can support up to 8K at 60 HZ although good luck gaming at that

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:16.680
resolution and now if you want to learn more about the GP 106 chip that is

00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:18.680
inside of this GPU check up here for our

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

00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:26.480
want to see our overview of the new software features that were released

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.959
with the Pascal architecture like the surprisingly interesting screenshot tool

00:03:28.799 --> 00:03:35.959
named anel and some new VR Works features check out this GTX 1080 review

00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:40.280
and Skip to about 1 minute and 50 seconds anyways let's move right onto

00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:46.480
performance I tested Gigabyte's G1 gaming 1066 GB against a reference

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:50.680
Founders Edition 6 GB card its bigger brother the GTX 1070 in an EVGA

00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:55.319
superclocked variant and the main competition from the other side the

00:03:52.920 --> 00:04:00.480
rx480 unfortunately I couldn't test it against the reason that I keep calling

00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:04.920
it a 1066 GB the recently released

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:07.000
NVIDIA 3 GB GTX 1060 NVIDIA surprised

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

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

00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:20.079
over 60 frames per second in every title we tested with maximum presets at 1080p

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:24.000
which NVIDIA has been pretty clear as the target resolution for this card and

00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:28.320
with those settings everything looked nice and crispy it beat out it's more

00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:33.320
expensive Founders Edition cousin although it's not too surprising in as

00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:35.840
it ran about 127 MHz faster when under

00:04:33.320 --> 00:04:39.800
load in our Crisis 3 Skybox stair test thanks to GPU boost and its better

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:44.320
cooler and board design the more interesting story here is how it trades

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:48.320
blows with the rx480 it wins by a considerable amount in crisis three and

00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:52.320
Rise of the Tomb Raider and surprisingly manages a win in ashes of the

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

00:04:55.039 --> 00:05:00.960
in the balance for power for Hitman the

00:04:58.280 --> 00:05:06.120
Gigabyte 1060 wins in direct X1 but loses in directx12 despite both of them

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.680
gaining overall performance then moving to Doom Vulcan and asynchronous compute

00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:17.120
being applied it's not even a fair contest the rx480 wins by a massive 20%

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

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.800
Gigabyte's G1 gaming variant of the 1066

00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:27.759
GB card is a solid option with great

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:31.919
Cooling and low noise floor it even managed to stay relatively quiet under

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:36.319
heavy Lo but this seems to be more of an architectural battle at this point

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:40.919
instead of the crazy aftermarket cooler Showdown that we saw with the 700 900

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

00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:50.160
more and more games keep on coming out with Vulcan and directx12 support and

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:56.639
when AMD hopefully has some kind of response to NVIDIA's higher-end

00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:58.280
cards do you hate weird privacy issues

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.919
that come along with traveling sitting on open Wi-Fi networks at like Starbucks

00:06:00.919 --> 00:06:07.120
and stuff maybe you should try tunnel bear with tunnel bear turned on your

00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:13.840
Wi-Fi connection is secured and your online privacy is kept well private this

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:20.039
includes from your internet provider advertisers hackers anyone looking to

00:06:16.840 --> 00:06:22.280
track and or profit from your data

00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:27.199

subscribe all that kind of stuff if you hated it hit the dislike button um check

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.479
out this video to see our previous 1060 video on the founders Edition that I

00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:58.319
referenced earlier check the link the video description down below to buy

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

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:08.400
the first time while wearing a lonus techtips logoed shirt Get Wrecked this

00:07:04.599 --> 00:07:10.240
is for pack we're going there tomorrow

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
