Apparently there's a new GTX 1060 with GDDR5X...

...or so Tom's Hardware says

And a few other places too.

Response to the RX590, just like the 1070 Ti was to Vega 56? Is Polaris 30 going to beat the GTX 1060 then?

So how much of a boost are we going to get from 5X over 5 if it's clocked the same? And a cut-down GP104? Presumably just because Nvidia aren't making 106s any more?

All seems a little unnecessary, and it'll cost stupid money too.

Where's the other discussion then? I couldn't find it, hence this thread. And Nvidia aren't exactly shouting it to the heavens are they if they've only added "/X" to the spec sheet.
