How does it compare to other cards?

 

[Ben @ EVGA]

This is what I want to know.

Hi All

To make you aware on the two models listed from EVGA:

06G-P4-6161-KR and 06G-P4-6163-KR we will start landing stock in the UK next Tuesday 26th July.

These 1060s at £300 are a ******* joke! Heck there's one for £330 is it? Same price as a ******* 980 Ti!!!! You can't sli it either and just from going off one review bittech with it overclocked it just about manage a a victory over a stock 980. This launch is a joke same price or more expensive then what a 970 launched at 2 years ago yet performs like a good overclocked card. So you compare a stock 1060 to an overclocked 970 they're neck and neck so the 1060 will have to rely on an overclock to manage the victory which for 2 years of waiting for and at the same price or more expensive is an absolute joke!!

Well, I just brought a 970 for 199 quid. Can't justify the premium for the (typical) 10% extra performance.

Having a look on the OCUK front page - Brand new 970 for £199....MSI 1060 for £299 haha. £100 more for basically same performance but more vRAM

But won't a single fan not get rid of heat slower than the dual or triple fan ones? Ergo be less overclockable than the dual and triple fans due to heat?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I know they pull the same wattage but to dissipate the heat to allow better OCing, wouldn't the single fan falter and have reduced OC ability???

Of course more fans mean better cooling and temps but the 1060 will still hit max potential with a lower spec PCB and cooler, nvidia locked down voltage means the 1060 aint gonna be cooking.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

How come the most expensive 1060 is the standard price for the 1060?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Regarding SLI that kills it for me, perfect low power card to SLI down the line picking up a dirt cheap used one, **** Nvidia.

 

[dits]

Are Nvidia using a Ouija board when it comes to setting price for the 1060 ?

The 970's will have been bought when the $ was low and are EOL so yes they will be cheaper. The 1060's will have been bought with post Brexit prices hence why they are more. Been explained by Gibbo loads of times <yawn>. Curious how you pick a 1060 at £299 not the £229 cheapest one or even the £249 in stock. Newer tech always has a price premium (yawn). Your surprise and humour are very immature.

It seems as though the 1060 is running way over its rated boost to compete. When hard overclocked to 2ghz it gains only a few fps over the card boosting itself.

Anyone seen any PCIe slot power draw measurements? Seems necessary.

It still might be possible with DX12 multi-adapter.

to be fair, he did say on OCUK's front page.

it's on the same level with 480 and we expected that, so no big shock there.

I couldn't find any cards in stock here in the USA. I saw a deal, so ordered the Sapphire Nitro Fury for $275 dollars. (299 - 25 paypal incentive). Hopefully I made the right choice (eek).
