NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Reviewer’s Guide Leaked

[SkepticKrab]

So 4xAA huh, who even does that?

The RX480 numbers seem old because of old drivers. If those numbers for the 1060 were completely accurate then selling the card for $300 would make it seem overpriced and not in the same league as the RX480....at $250 though the RX480 would be in trouble.

Gona wait for reviewers, Some of those benchmarks dont seem.... right..    Even VR scores.. I've seen 480 systems hitting 7s

Still don't ever trust any benchmark provided by AMD or Nvidia...

As much of a Nvidia fan as I am... I'm super skeptical about this. Yeah I get that the 1060 could be like 5-10% faster than the RX 480 in DX11 games, but DX12 too? I highly doubt it.

There simply aren't enough good DX12 games out right now to make a call one way or the other. Ashes is the best bet as far as a benchmark goes, but who knows if that is even an example of how other DX12 games will perform. Hopefully Deus Ex will be a good test case for DX12.

Results so fake their last name is kardashian.

I don't really see how you could look at these numbers and come to the conclusions that:

1) It is on par with the RX 480. Tthe guide says that it should be 10-15% faster

2) Say that the "980 performance" is a lie. The 980 is 10% faster than the RX 480 on average.

 

If the numbers in the reviewer guide is anything to go by (I wouldn't trust them one bit), the 1060 is 10% faster than the RX 480 (or more). That would put it at 980 tier performance.

 

If the numbers are true, and the 260 dollar price the Zotac card is listed for on SabrePC turns out to be accurate too (AMP! version for 280), then AMD will be in trouble. That's quite a few "if"s, but they are aren't too hard to imagine being true.

No but they're running the older driver. The new driver performs about 3% faster so now it's 7-12% allegedly slower than a GTX 1060.

 IN DX12 Nvidia will crumble. They have practically no DX12 hardware features. It's all software and emulation behind the scenes.

Yes, as soon as you can buy the 200 dollar RX 480 then your point will be valid. The thing is that you can't do that today, and we don't know when you will be able to.

But you can't get a 1060 at all so that would make everything pointless because you don't even have a price to give the 1060...

 

Also the 250 dollar is probably way to optimistic too then, if the 1060 has the same supply issues as the 1070 and 1080 it will cost more than 250 dollars.

I'm guessing then it will be for sale starting at 270-280 dollars for the cheapest model when AIB partners release their custom versions and you can actually get one that doesn't suffer from inflation because of the low stocks.

 

And you have to be lucky to be able to get one, i searched for a 1080 and if you want one right now you pay 50 dollars more than the msrp.

The FE models cost of course the 700 dollars as advertised during launch so if you want a 1060 at launch, if you can, you will pay 300 dollars. If stock is sufficient and somehow prices aren't inflated like we saw with the 1070, 1080 and rx 480 which would suprise me.

Remains the fact that if the 960 is at 30+ fps, then given its at 20- on the 60fps rx 480 benchmark, we could expect the 480 to be at 80fps on nvidia benchmark. Or given the scaling it has (2× faster than the 960) it should be at 40fps on Tom's hardware benchmark. Anyway, that's a bit incoherent and fishy.

True! Which is why I think it is ridicules of you to already be saying it is not appealing. Seems like you have already made up your mind about the card despite not knowing how much it will cost or how it will perform.

The (not trustworthy) info we got right now says that it will cost 10 dollars more than the 480 (8GB model) and perform ~15% faster than it.

Yeah, the RX 480 has supply issues too. Almost impossible to tell what prices will end up being. It might even change on a day by day basis. Overall I think the 1060 will have the same or slightly higher price:performance ratio than the RX 480. It will be silly to expect a new product to be worse than what already exists on the market.

You can't use the price gouging of the 1080 as an indicator of what the price of the 1060 will cost. They are in completely different price categories.

 

I think you should calm down a bit and wait for more facts before calling the card bad.

WELL PEOPLE! We have something that can be pretty much treated as official benchmark now.

This is a record of the GTX 1060 benchmark on Ashes of Singularity website from someone, using an i5 6600k. From the look of it the fps is similar to what shown on Nvidia's guideline show on the first page for 1440p and 1080p. There's also record for 4k and 5k too.

TPU use SMAA, SSAA is much heavier and that 960 got choked because of 2GB VRAM.

My 290x get 36fps at Crazy[1440p].. forgot overclocked or not. Probably oc'ed so good score for 1060 there.

So Nvidia is pulling a Ubisoft too by not allowing reviews until launch? So this will probably be a disappointing card too.
