KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5X

[bug]

The price difference of $60 will buy several years of (difference in) electricity. Efficiency is good but paying for it up front is not "saving". While people buy a the GTX 1060 because it will work with crap low watt OEM PSU that isn't even Bronze rated. Better off using that $60 saved to buy a quality Gold PSU first, if saving electricity is paramount.

Yeah, I make a poor argument here.
Maybe you'd like to comment on this guy's take on power efficiency instead? https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...arctic-islands-gpu-family.211973/post-3274712

Thank you for being a long time visitor of my postings!
And, I stand completely about what the subject in that posting was in regards to; the wasting of kWh when nothing is happening ie. "non-beneficial" loads, or "vampire usage". When I'm "gaming" efficiency isn't my first concern, it's like saying mileage is a preeminent concern in most car racing. It's a wasteful and totally unnecessary endeavor and should be outlawed (not my thinking at all). If we where made to only use energy for productive things... I wouldn't be typing here.

Thank you W1zzard for this review. It conviced me to buy this card.
I started to overclock it before watercooling, but I have a problem : How the heck can I add 3000Mhz to the memory while I was stuck to +1000 with MSI Afterburner or +2000 with ASUS GPU tweak II ?

What OC software did you use to push the memory so far? It's funny, first time to me to be limited in OC by cursor limit in any OC software

Thank you for any help !

MegaTextures is a feature of the engine developed by John Carmack and first demonstrated at WWDC with id Tech 5 in 2007. It's most certainly not because of the Vulkan API, and RAGE (first id Tech 5-based game) use nothing but the OpenGL API.

EDIT: More information.

that nvidia jurassic park old gtx 1060 with little update, gddr5x memories is more than enough against this year released,can say brand new 'earth eater' amd rx 580/590 gpus.

we must remembe that rx 590 is builded latest thin lane tech and its core is oc'd top sky high.


and,as we see,when oc'd that gtx 1060 gddr5x gpu its beat easily amd rx 590,except rx 590 eat ALOT more power what make rx 590 VERY slow gpu and bcoz that very expensive also.

also rx 590 value is even now zero, no1 buy it now or even 2019.buying any amd rx 500 series gpu, you can throw it crash can after 3 month. junk

gtx 1060 and btw all versions aremany times better buy,for you, earth and also if and when you try buy it example next year, its gone fast.

tdp average gaming rx 590 =232w!!!! (source techpower rx590 review)
tdp average gaming gtx 1060 6gb = 117w (source techpower rx590 review)

so difference are ALMOST 100%!!!...still gtx 1060 WIN!

all rx 500 series should banned,itslausiesteverbuild gpu and fight taht tittle with amd vega gpus...!

W1zzard I'm like the other guy, I can't seem to find a way to go over 1000Mhz (10Gbps) on the memory with Msi After Burner, Evga Precision, Firestorm etc.
What kind of software did you use to achieve the 1440Mhz overclock?
Thanks.

EDIT: The Gigabyte Aourus OC software was the solution for my problem!

I have the inno3d 1060 104 ddr5x (stock 10 Ghz effective), also great overclock, core + 150mhz and mem runs at 12000 stable.
With these settings it beats for sure an rx 590.
