9/22/2023 0 Comments Nvidia geforce gtx 1060![]() This represents a credible alternative performance-wise to an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070. Where the RX480 has a small advantage is that, unlike the GTX 1060, it can support dual-card setups in crossfire mode. In our tests, the GTX 1060 outperforms the 8GB RX480 in most tests up to 2560×1440 pixels, with the extra RAM of the AMD card helping it to close the gap a little at 4K, although neither card is really powerful enough to run consistently well at this resolution. Both have technology designed at delivering strong VR performance from mid-range graphics chips, while the AMD card is available for a little less than a GTX 1060 in its 8GB version and significantly less if you step down to the 4GB model. The GTX 1060 will obviously invite comparison with AMD’s Radeon RX480 card. DirectX 12 allows for some multi-GPU operation without official SLI support, but this technology isn’t currently pervasive or effective enough to make it worth shelling out cash on a second GTX 1060. Nvidia has removed the SLI connectors from the new card, so it’s simply not physically possible to team them up into multi-GPU setups. There is, however, one significant feature missing from the GTX 1060 which was present on the GTX 960. The GTX 1060 is based on a newly designed mid-range processor, named GP106. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition review: SpecificationsĪlthough part of the Pascal line-up, the GTX 1060 isn’t simply a cut down version of a higher-end card in the way that the GTX 1070 is a leaner version of the GTX 1080, both being based on variants of the GP104 processor. Sadly, the GTX 1060 is missing the metal backplate found on the more expensive cards. Like the other Pascal boards, it’s a two-slot design and this model requires a single 6-pin PCI-Express power connector. ![]() ![]() Here, we find a trio of DisplayPort 1.4 connectors alongside single HDMI 2.0b and Dual-Link DVI ports. The Founders Edition board features a single fan which blows air over the card, to be ejected at the rear of the PC. However, the GTX 1060 is fast enough to run the latest games with decent quality settings at up to 2160×1440 pixels.Įxternally, the card looks essentially like a slightly shorter version of the more expensive Pascal cards, and where the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 provide a window through which the fins of the heatsink are visible, the GTX 1060 is entirely enclosed in a black shroud. The card comes with all the performance, power consumption and feature benefits of Nvidia’s Pascal architecture albeit at a more modest performance level.
