GTX 1060

So i'm interested in this 1060, but will there be blower type designs without the FE price tag?

Looking at the EVGA mini 1060 which looks great, but not sure if the top fan style casement would have good enough airflow in my case.

Currently have a 660ti blower type in a mATX case, there is about a 3 inch gap from the top of the card to the case so am unsure whether that would be good enough airflow for the top fan type designs.

Given how efficient it'll be, I would be surprised of the contrary.

1120 (base clock) -> 1350 (usually the maximum stable clock with reference model) is approximately a 20.5% increase.

1266 base turbo clock to 1350 turbo = 6.6%

[Ironic that you have to undervolt to achieve this]

Or you can have it your way:

1120 "base clock" (with 1266 boost) to 1120 (with 1350 boost) = 0% overclock over the base clock.

Posted some Firestrike Extreme/Ultra and Timespy scores at 1759MHz and 1873MHz boost clocks.

Was expecting a better timespy score, my 970 is hitting that.

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.
 
It's quite clear this will be a bit of a beefier 970 (just like the 480 -> 390/x). The 980 performance rumours were just the usual early hopes of "they're gonna sell a ferrari for 10 quid! Wooho!"
