GTX 1060 Compilation Thread
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2016 6:06 am
Good grief, Nvidia nerfed the chip to bring out a cheaper version (3GB with less stream processors and texture units) with the same GTX 1060 moniker. Rather than have two GTX 1060 threads, the 3GB reviews will be below the 6GB ones
4/26/17: Nvidia updated card design with faster VRAM...which led to new SKUs typically with PLUS in the name. Minimal upgrade in gaming framerates.
GTX 1060 6GB - In brief: Great 1080p/decent 1440p, 120W TDP, but OEM stock OC'ed cards will use 125-135W at stress loads. HDMI 2.0b and Display Port 1.4(ready), DVI no longer includes analog VGA signals. Requires one 6-pin PCIe Graphics power connector, but OEM designs may use more. Dimensions stated as: a" x b" x c" are from mfgr websites - others are from reviews. Similar in performance to GTX 980, slightly faster than Radeon RX 480. No SLI bridge.
GTX 1060 3GB - In brief: Great 1080p/ok 1440p*, 120W TDP, but OEM stock OC'ed cards will use 125-135W at stress loads. *If you play games with high textures / texture packs, check the memory usage - you may want to get the 6GB card.
