GTX 1060

[Mei]

I think nV are smart enough to know that a 3GB 1060 has *no* chance of selling.

A 3GB 1050 @ $149 is a different story.

ye 6gb is good for 1080p
3gb not so much now

The GTX760 launched at $250.

For the 2GB version...

The gtx 760 was based off GK104, not GK106. It was a cut down salvaged gtx 770, not a full enabled gk106 part.

GTX 660 Ti was probably the last relatively good x60 part. Certainly the last one to have better than 128 bit bus.

The GTX 460 256bit version did the job before that.

760 and 960 were both a bit underwhelming.

Standard 660 had 192 bit bus and there were even 256 bit versions.

760 also had 192 bit bus. 760 was a pretty solid card when it came out. Very competitive in its range and quite popular as a result. AMD didn't really have anything to counter it until the R9 280 came out, and even that was only basically 'on par' with the 760, performance-wise.

People have short memories, it seems.

And?

The very idea of a founders edition with literally zero benefit to it is such an insult.

Does it even say founders edition on the box? do you even get that?

I have used nvidia only since the 260 but they are really pushing it with this bs.

Just don't buy a FE card. I bought a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1080 that was cheaper than the FE and comes with a decent cooler.

Those push up bras are wonderful things

Do you think that is Jen Hsun's secret?

I don't think the 1060 will be able to equal a 980.

I am basing this on how the other Pascal cards perform against the Maxwell cards.

For example the best 1080s on the Heaven 4 bench score about 3300 and the best 980s score about 2100.

If you half the 1080 score as the 1060 is basically half a 1080 you get a score around 1650 which is a long way short of the 980s.

in some games...overclocked like crazy, squinting ur eyes
-_-

Just look at that PCB:

Room for a 256bit/8GB model it seems...

It might not be the case here. The G1 gaming gtx1070 is £50 more expensive than the Founders Edition. I think pricing for the gtx1080 release was slightly better when comparing to the gtx1070. It could go either way.

 

[Darujhistan]

Have they really prevented people SLI'ing these cards?

Yep!!



So next year they can release a GTX2060 refresh with a 256 bit memory controller.

Also,you can see they replaced the PCI-E power plug with that 4 pin adaptor on the PCB.

First NVidia gimp high end users with only 2 way SLI on the GP104 cards.

Now they are really having a laugh limiting mid range cards to single card usage.

those coolers are not equal ^^'

 

[Kaapstad]

The funny thing about mGPU usage is you can use 4 mid range RX480s in Quadfire which are faster than 1080 SLI lol.

i thought that was known for a while...

Which coolers are not equal. The g1 gaming on the 1070/1080? I am comparing them to there Founders Edition pricing.

Did you mean the FE coolers as i know they are different in the case of the 1070 has no vapor chamber. That would make the 1070 pricing even worse as some of the 1080 costom models were less than the FE where as the custom 1070's all appeared to be slightly more or on par pricing wise.

The GTX760 launched at $250.

For the 2GB version...

...and the 2 gen later, 1060 still got the same low memory bandwidth as the 670 and 760, with a even smaller bus-size

People should not be paying £300 for a 1080p card by today's standard.

 

[Darujhistan]

That's shocking, I've got no interest in SLI or Crossfire and never will have, but that's awful for people who have.

That's a really scummy move by NV. Rapidly tuning into M$.

Nvidia - The way we're meant to bend you over.

 

[Sargatanas2511]

The funny thing about mGPU usage is you can use 4 mid range RX480s in Quadfire which are faster than 1080 SLI lol.

I wonder if it's just SLi that is being given up on and mGPU will still work with multiple Nvidia cards. Just a fleeting thought.

 

[Fallen god]

Perhaps it's more along the lines of neither company wanting a price war with increased costs on these smaller processes.

In other words, prices might still be higher than last gen even if both companies had their full ranges out, and the matched each other.

Can only hope that costs do come down in the longer term as things mature.

Wonder how long we'll be on 14/16nm.

That makes sense, but the FE is just a Nvidia Tax that I don't think would fly if AMD had something competitive.

 

[greatash]

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.
