Like i say, you cannot trust anything on Videocardz, they are just as bad as WCCFTech...

That's with supersampling enabled, presumably a 4GB 960 too, since the framerate takes a nosedive with 2GB cards in that game.

It seems a retailer in the US leaked the pricing for some of the Zotac GTX1060 cards. The basic one with a short PCB and a single fan looks like it will be around £240 with a direct conversion including VAT.

It appears to be the shorter card pictured here:

The AMP! version seems to be around £255 if you do the same conversion.

If the 1060 is 24% faster than the 480 it puts it at about 90% the performance of a 980TI/1070 in this game

We had this level of Hype with the RX 480 from the same people, don't believe a word of it.

It seems that performance chart is from the Nvidia guide as Videocardz have leaked the entire guide:

Hahahahahaha thats even more pathetic if its actually from Nvidia... wow those guys are a real bunch of special cases....

seriously, those 480 benchmarks... wow, i'll have whatever Nvidia are smoking...

They just lost any credibility they ever had with me, not that i had any respect for this bunch of clowns anyhow..

utterly utterly pathetic.

Old results, but here a 980 is 26% faster than a 390 in RotTR with 2xSSAA.

I don't think videocardz are actually that bad, it's wccftech you should be wary of, that's where the "1600 Mhz 480" came from, videocardz were much more conservative in their estimates.

Wccftech don't seem to have any sources, everything there is copy-pasted from forum posts or made up on the spot.

It's not, that does look like the genuine reviewers guide so those are Nvidia run benchmarks, apparently at standard clock speeds, so let me guess, they put the RX480 system inside a sealed room with a heating unit raising the temp to 70C so the card runs at below base clocks throughout due to temps... maybe.

Those numbers if direct from Nvidia are likely best case for 1060, and seemingly beaten by every RX480 review I've seen in general(the numbers are higher for RX480, they wouldn't necessarily beat the 1060 in every case).

You forgot to add the part where the 1060 is boosting to 1.9ghz instead of 1.7 as its stock specs say.

It was also shown in 3dmark that a 1350mhz rx480 beats a 1911mhz 1060. Even using 16.6.1 drivers.

IMO air cooled cards eps none blower ones should be benched in side a case after abit of use. it give a much better real world use indication. Ofc for OC test all hands off, open case fans at max to give a best case situation.

This is Nvidia saying "these are the results we want you to make"

Old results are irrelevant as AMD's drivers constantly improve, you have to get the latest driver results to compare to latest benchmarks.

The 1500mhz+ mhz quote was always in reference to AIB rx480, never the reference. They said up to 1400mhz on reference board. And there are still no AIB parts out yet to test.

Some other info banging around says that with better power delivery the rx480 can hit higher clocks at lower core volts.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Rumors, Part 6: New cards, Pre-orders

deleted, already posted

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 12 Jul 2016 at 20:28

They are reporting what I mentioned about pricing in an earlier post,but I am not sure if the company mentioned was an OcUK competitor,so hence I did not link or take a picture of the listings.

I don't think it always works like that. I imagine it's going to be easy 250 plus.

I got a three day suspension for mentioning a US retailer that also ships to the UK and can charge in GBP.... so I wouldn't risk it.

Exciting times ahead... I almost feel a price battle coming on!

johnw84 · 12 Jul 2016 at 22:37

So hard to know right now whether to buy a 970 for about £160 or hold out for the 1060.

My head's telling me that the 1060 won't offer up that much more performance wise and i'd be better off with the extra cash.

3GB version apparently has less cores:

If the 3GB version is £250, that will be pony.

It won't be, the FE is £275. Even if that turns out to be the baseline rather than the previously stated £240, you'd have to be mad not to pay slightly more for the full version.
