NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB

There's that SLI thread here on TPU that allows SLI of different nv cards. Wonder if the same technique would work on 1060.

I don't get how the review says that the boost clock is from 1911 to 2101, but GPU-Z shows 1709/1938 MHz.

I'm trying to use this as i guide for overclocking my card, but I'm missing something. It's been so long since I had an Nvidia GPU.

Card bios has base clock, boost clock(quaranteed) and maximum boost clock(will boost up-to if temperature and powerlimit allows). That Gpu-z shows that quaranteed boost clock, while card will boost to it's maximum allowed boost clock defined by bios. If I remember correctly real current GPU clock should be shown on sensors tab of gpu-z or i.e. afterburner overlay.

If Hitman DX12, Warhammer DX12 and Doom 2016 in Vulcan were included in the gamelist tested, using some results from not badly famed review sites, I can get that GTX1060 is 7,4% faster on average than reference RX480. Now it is 11,5 faster. Just a number in the mix of the discussion about the review. @W1zzard is doing a great job all these years providing us with objective results and he is doing most work than every other reveiwer out there testing all those games with updated drivers most of the time. I hope he finds the time to include some games utilising the new APIs in order to give us all a perspective of the near future in gaming for anyone willing to buy a GPU for the next 2-3 years.

UPDATED as in my calculations a game had wrong numbers and not the @W1zzard 's review ones.

I can see a lot of people being happy RX480 customers, and good for you, but there will be MANY (more than likely more) happy GTX1060 customers, and good for them too

i'd love to revisit this thread in 2-3 years and see how well an RX480 / GTX1060 performs in the games that are the latest and greatest, my guess is nobody will care.

Looking through old reviews and threads and found these comments, one certainly aged well, GTX1060 being so incredibly popular to this day. But I think the RX480 has clawed performance back against the GTX1060 ... a few % maybe? In wiz's most recent review I can only see a GTX1060 slightly losing to an RX580 overall, 480 vs 1060 seems neck and neck?

However, I was wrong on nobody cares! The demand for a 4xx/5xx cards to mine on is crazy that's for sure (just saw a RX580 8gb for sale for $700 AUD! ~$540 USD), and in a world where anything sub $350 USD that's moderately current for gaming either doesn't exist yet, isn't available or is massively overpriced... people are probably pretty happy with any RX470+/570+ or GTX1060+

I guess it depends on what your doing ?.

Yeah 1060 is still crazy popular. I guess gaming 1060, gaming OR mining 480? People are just happy to have something that's very capable in the 1080p60 space in 2021...
