Will the imminent arrival of the 1060 in the budget sector finally kill off AMD ? Early reports state that it's a better performer than the recently released 480X.

I think this is quite the exaggeration. The RX480 might not have been what was promised, but it's still a very competitive card thanks to its very reasonable price.

I also don't get all the hype over AMD drivers - I've had no major issues with them over the past 4 years or so.

Wait till they release the RX 490 it'll burn down your house

Take this with 10 truckloads of salt:

Does that mean the GTX1060 6GB is a GP104 based part,and the 3GB version is actually the GP106 based one??

Personally I couldn't care less which one it's based on as long as it kicks ass and is reasonably priced

By the looks of it, the 1060 is going to rule the budget end of GPU spectrum. Will AMD ever surpass Nvidia?

Wow they actually put founders edition tax on a lower end part, what a joke.

So I'm guessing these will be close to £300 here in the UK. For a x60 card.

Whats next, GTX 1050 3gb Founders for £200? This gen is a joke, bring on 2017 and Vega.

I'm guessing more in the region £260 for 6gb version. This card will certainly kill off RX 480.

AMD had a golden opportunity to corner the budget market. Yet they've failed miserably. Along comes the 1060 with a meagre 15% increase and costing £60/80 more to mop the budget sector.

Sure it is . Gibbo's sales numbers suggest other wise. They were literally flying out of the door.

How many are being returned?

1060 to outperform 980 according to Nvidia!! How true this?

dits · 8 Jul 2016 at 08:53

£700 in fittings??? Sweet Mother Of God

dits · 8 Jul 2016 at 20:13

Are they using fake screws in FE edition?

dits · 9 Jul 2016 at 20:35

Is true the Founders Edition will only be sold thru Nvidia store?

dits · 9 Jul 2016 at 22:22

Do you think these NDA's or Embargo's are a necessary thing? Surely they can't get away with releasing card benchmarks and stuff just a hours/day from product release?

dits · 10 Jul 2016 at 08:28

British consumers getting stiffed

dits · 10 Jul 2016 at 13:17

Approaching £300 for some 1060 is just insane rip off by Nvidia and nobody is doing something about it.

dits · 11 Jul 2016 at 17:25

Will the RX 480 driver boost take the shine off the 1060?

dits · 13 Jul 2016 at 11:54

Will aftermarket 1060's come with SLI?

That is roughly what my 980 gaming gets (out of the box, no overclocking). Considering that Pascal does get better scores with a sync/dx12 does that mean the 1060 will be slightly slower than the 980 in dx11 and around the same in dx12?

This is sort of what I expected considering the core count and bus etc.

Looks like they are going to be a more efficient, possibly slightly faster alternative to the RX480.

More Firestrike numbers

I'm stuck with my integrated graphics which are too crap to run my monitor at 1440p (motherboard restriction)! Sold my 280X a week or two before the 480 launched.

At the moment it's anyone's guess what I'm going to get. 480/1060/1070 are all in the running.

So many in the same boat
