GTX 1060 To Be Announced on 7th July ?

[PhoenixUK]

Really want an AMD competitor to the 1070!

You're late, there was one 2 years ago, it was 295x2 .

I do hope you're joking.

 

[Orangey]

Yep, that's an obnoxious marketing graph. I've seen that so much from Nvidia and AMD and I swear that **** should be illegal.

Here is that graph made proper:

We should give these types of graphs a name, if they haven't already one.

Be interesting to see what the 1060 delivers, won't be listening to rumours until the benchies appear.

Nah the 295x2 is more of a competitor to the 1080

7th for announcement, availability a week after, so they said...

 

[JanM]

I'll only buy it if its £150 and beats a 980 hahaha

 

[Orangey]

Everyone who used to buy the 60 switched to the 70 last gen. Didn't help that the 960 itself was a poor effort. Wonder if this will set things right again.

I think the overclocking performance of this card will be the key to its success or flop

I think price will play a huge part. The 1070 AIBs are supposed to be £330, so where is this gonna come in? And how much of a gouge will there be on it? If it's just shy of £300 for a decent AIB then you might as well go for a 1070 even at their inflated prices.

At the moment I just want the cheapest card that will give me a decent 1440p experience. The 480 doesn't fit the bill. Hopefully the 1060 will get a bit closer to that.

Apart from the odd one or two saying they play games at 1440p on a 750ti just fine, I think most people would say for that res a 980ti or 1070 is pretty much the place to start, no?

Esp going forwards.

960 has 3gb of vRAM does it not?

960 has either 2 or 4GB.
