the NVIDIA GTX 1060 may just be the new
Mass consumer Workhorse card that replaces the 970 in terms of steam
survey crushing sales why price when the
GTX 970 launched an EVGA superclocked Edition was about
350 you might expect that evj 1070 and
everyone else's for that matter would be about the same price nope it's about
$440 a$1 100ish increase in price
similarly a GTX 960 was about $210 but the fancy new 1060 ranges from
250 to 300 and I expect the non- crappy
plastic ones to start at 280 or 290 is
it worth the price increase can it live up to the hype let's find
out Mass drop is featuring The fostex th
x00 headphones with new ebony colored
year cups check them and other drops out
at the link in the video description so yes the GTX 1060 is here
and with it comes a fancy new Pascal GPU named
gp106 a step down from the GP 104 sporting GTX 1080 and 1070s but still
with a lot of the goodies and performance improvements which come with
being on the Pascal platform at all the biggest story here however is how it
will fare against AMD's offering the rx4
480 this is the first time there has been a pascal GPU launched since the 480
was released so that makes it interesting first though specs the 1060
features 1,280 Cuda cor a boost clock of
178 MHz 6 gigs of gddr5 V RAM which is
clocked at 8 gab bit per second and an overall memory bandwidth of2 gbt per
second and all of that is wrapped up in a TDP package of only 120 watts we'll
see how all of this translates to Performance later on next let's have a
look at the allnew cooler design it's clearly related design-wise to the
cooler found on the founders edition of the 1070 and 1080 but has some core
differences like no back plate an NVIDIA logo that doesn't light up a physical
extension beyond the PCB to house the fan a slightly relaxed angularity design
and no window to look into the heat sink fans for the diecast aluminum body also
contains two coer heat pipes embedded into the base of an aluminum heat sink
but what this card doesn't have to much surprise is an SLI connector Now
NVIDIA's official statement on this more or less is that if you want more
performance you should just buy a 1070 or 1080 instead of two 1060s cting that
they would rather Focus their support on SLI setups for those cards instead that
being said you will still be able to use multiple 1060s together in certain games
if those games are able to take advantage of MDA or LDA explicit modes
in direct X12 I'd highly suggest checking out my video on the confusing
state of SLI and multiple GPU setups raw
performance-wise it walked all over the rx480 in every title except for Hitman
which admittedly is a pretty AMD tuned title it won in Crisis 3 Star Wars
Battlefront and Tomb Raider all at 1440p with very high settings enabled by 7 8
and 10 FPS respectively then in Hitman it lost at those same settings by about
4 FPS then to layer on top of that the story was rather similar at 4K with
medium settings but this isn't the whole story and AMD fans before you rush down
to the comments and start screaming at me for being what is kind of a shill at
this point we must recognize that the 1060 is 25 to 50% more expensive than
the rx480 and that's where the conversation changes in the dollars per
frame race the rx480 wins every single time sometimes by rather
narrow margins other than the massive Gap in Hitman but it still wins does
that mean the 1060 is a bad card and AMD wins no but to be clear that totally
doesn't mean AMD lost either that's not what I'm saying the price and
performance Deltas on these cards are significant enough that I don't even
fully agree with them being in the same category sure if you buy the most
expensive rx480 and the cheapest 10 60
they more or less equate in price but that's a rather odd competition I'm
happy with the 1060 and I'm very happy with the 480 it's a good time to be a PC
Gamer that's basically all I have to say and it's a good time to be a mobile app
