GTX 1060 first official benchmarks leaked – A win for Team Green?

[Outs1d3r81]

I read this article on MWEB website and if it holds truth this will be an interesting period for GPU'

Quote

If the recently leaked “official” benchmarks for the GTX 1060 (via WccfTech) are an accurate real world representation of the card’s performance, Team Green has just scored a massive victory over Team Red. Check out the benchmarks below, but remember that these are leaked benchmarks and as with any leak, should be taken with a grain of salt until official reviews are out.

 

The benchmarks show the GTX 1060 compared to its predecessor, the GTX 960 and AMD’s RX 480 in DirectX 12, DirectX 11,Virtual Reality and 3DMark.

 Again it is a leak so a massive grain of salt is recommened.

 

Quote

From all the leaked “official” benchmarks above, one thing is clear. The GTX 1060 beats the RX 480 in every one of them, expect for the Fallout 4 benchmark at 1440p, where the RX 480 manages to equal the GTX 1060 in performance.  One of the most impressive benchmarks is the Virtual Reality test, where the GTX 1060 shows a 24% increase over the RX 480, especially since one of the biggest draws of the RX 480 is bringing affordable VR to the masses.

 

I have not included the graphs or images those are in the article you are welcome to check it out.

 

If this is a duplication apologies though I would share I find this extremely interesting.

Turn down AA in games and you have 60FPS. wow. RIP AMD.

[Djole123]

So the previous leaked benchmarks were correct. 

Ripe AMD

[Thony]

Repost: 

 

 

Same benchmarks. 

[Limecat86]

Now we only need the retail price of the 1060. Which I hope to be less than 300 USD

[Simon771]

Aaaah that's bad.

We don't want AMD to remove from market. We need competition for nvidia, so they can't sell us GPUs for higher prices.

 

[alphaproject]

Take those with salt. Won't be long till REAL reviews show up. I don't think a week early reviews are that accurate, plus since all these are only by a few frames and the 480 does DX12 better there are trade offs.

 

I'm sort of torn on Pascal period. A lot of people say they throttle even at stock settings. Even one reviewer was disappointed in his 1070 on youtube but he was comparing it to the 980 Ti which was kinda stupid to be honest. Still though he was sad it wasn't better.

 

He reviewed the Zotac Amp, not the extreme edition which has 3 fans.

It is interestkng times indeed. I remember watching videos on the 1080 thermal throttling just after it released and was worried about that ended up getting a Strix and its temperatures are great max at around 60C and in our warm climate it's a real benefit.

 

What this dos show is that the future for GPU's are going to be very interesting in the next couple of years.

[alphaproject]

Wow, so the Strix cooler does some justice...  That seems like one of the first Asus cards that run cooler than expected. Maybe they finally got something right.

[Prysin]

thing is. team green, even if the leaked benches is correct HASNT WON JACK SHIT.

why?

performance is higer, BUT SO IS PRICE.

 

So how does that affect price to performance?

 

Based on the benchmarks and MSRP(s)

MSRP is 229 USD for the RX 480

MSRP is 249 USD for the GTX 1060

MSRP is 299 USD for the GTX 1060 FE

 

Ashes of the singularity 1080p

RX 480 = 6.67$ / FPS 

GTX 1060 = 6.91$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 8.3$ / FPS

 

Forza Motorsport 1080p

RX 480 = 2.51$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 2.25$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 2.70$ / FPS

 

Rise of the Tomb Raider 1080p

RX 480 = 5.51$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 4.85$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 5.82$ / FPS 

 

DX11 games

Crysis 3 1080p

RX 480 = 6.48$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 5.72$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 6.87$ / FPS

 

Fallout 4 1080p

RX 480 = 2.26$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 2.35$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 2.82$ / FPS

 

GTA V 1080p

RX 480 = 5.07$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 4.14$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 4.97$ / FPS

 

Metro Last Light 1080p

RX 480 = 4.97$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 4.44$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 5.33$ / FPS

 

Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor 1080p

RX 480 = 2.86$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 2.80$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 3.36$ / FPS

 

Star Wars Battlefront 1080p

RX 480 = 2.42$ / FPS

GTX 1060 = 2.41$ / FPS

GTX 1060 FE = 2.90$ / FPS

 

As we can see. The deal IS NOT THAT SWEET. Infact, if Nvidia doesnt let the AIBs launch custom versions of the GTX 1060 from DAY ONE. Then you are getting shafted in all but GTA V.

So if you are planning to ONLY play GTA V, then sure. buy whichever GTX 1060 you want.

 

If you are planning to play other games too. Think twice before wasting money.

[DannyRyu]

I honestly want AMD to win in the 200$ Range I have an Nvidia card but I sincerly want AMD back on their feet and get going with great tech and start some proper competition for Nvidia so they both try to reach higher goals

[Daiyus]

I've got an AMD HD 7870 right now and have had very few issues in the four years I've owned it. AMD has really been stepping their game on drivers etc these last 18 months. I've been excited for the RX 480 and was sure that I'd be getting one at some point (Sapphire NITRO). If an aftermarket GTX 1060 can beat an RX 480 in price:performance I'll certainly consider it though.

 

Of course I'm dubious as I've only managed to hold onto the HD 7870 for so long due to the way AMD cards seem to improve with age. If I'd bought an equivalent nVidia card back then I'd probably have had to upgrade already due to the way nVidia cards don't seem to age as well. I don't upgrade often so that is a factor for me.

 

People are saying "RIP AMD" but I really don't think it's as clear cut as people think. This is going to be a very difficult decision for me to make in the next few months.

Agreed it is more expensive however if you discount to the FE which you will pay a premium for that. At he MSRP of 249 it is "better" in all but 2.

 

It has to be said that this is on the assumption of the MSRP and the price of the AIB cards will also be a determining factor and then comparing AIB to AIB.

 

So will you be wasting your money maybe, maybe not it is to early to tell I think.

[VerticalDiscussions]

Anyone asked for salt?

The 1060 has exactly half the cores of 1080. But seems to perform much better than it would have indicated.

I absolutely wholeheartedly agree. It is bad for us as consumers if they lose this fight. 

 

We need decent competition to keeps prices at reasonable levels.

[Monkey Dust]

Slightly more expensive card performs slightly better, wow. Assuming the leak is correct. Until we have reviews (post release) comparing the AIB cooler equipped cards, with their respective prices it's too early to call. The 480's reference cooler really isn't up to much (watch OC3Ds video, it's a heat-sink just stuck to the GPU with thermal paste) and the power issues caused by the 6 pin connector, I suspect there is a lot of potential to be unlocked there.

 

Even if the 1060 is notably quicker, it will still be more expensive. There looks like there is no SLI support, not an issue for everyone, but being able to grab a second hand card off ebay a couple of years later to pair with your existing card, is a nice option to have. And anyone buying a card at this price point is unlikely to want to pay the large premium for a G-Sync monitor, but may well pick up a Freesync one. Framerates aren't the only consideration.

[Khvarrioiren]

Those "leaked benchmarks" are the exact same from the Nvidia reviewers guide that was posted. Disregarded.

[gilang01]

The numbers for the rx480 is waaaaay off

That's always been my point  

 

Nvidia cards also usually end up costing more than MSRP compared to AMD in many countries so Nvidia may win on the 'Murican market but probably loose in most other markets

Wow you sound very salty.

1) You sneakily lowered the MSRP of the 480. It should be 239 not 229.

2) Even your own numbers shows the (non-FE) 1060 beating the RX 480 in price:performance.

3) Everything right now points towards AIB launching custom versions of the card on day one.

 

If the numbers are accurate, and if the current leaked prices for the 1060 are accurate, then AMD is in trouble. That's quite a few "if"s though. In less than a week we should know for sure.

Just realised that . Lul...rest in pieces (could be a typo...2 is right next to 3 so at lease it's not 219 or 209 )

Hmmmm...4GB RX480s are even cheaper so technically, it should have definite better price to performance through out all games

This the exact same point I was trying to make. The MSRP's are notoriously unreliable and it is futile comparing references cards. IMO it prefer the AIB versions anyway.

 

An interesting little fact when I bought my Strix 1080 I paid about N$15,600 (Roughly translates to about USD1000) this almost double the MSRP but the MSRP probably factored in it being retailed in Europe or the States. I stay in Namibia (Its in Africa just above South Africa) and taking into account taxes, shipping the retailer mark up and the exchange rate (Which sucks) you can actually get pretty close.

 

Moral of the story lets see what these cards will be selling for on the retail shelves and then start making these types of comparisions.

The 1060 has half the CUDA cores, but not necessarily half the gaming stuff. We're going to have to wait on final numbers.

[grayperview]

Those numbers for the AMD card in the bench are on the low side....look for redteamgaming on youtube he has compared his numbers with Nvidia's, his a are considerably higher, but who knows what setting Nvidia used....

 

Also my money is on that you wont see a 1060 for less than $299+ tax for a very long time.

 

added to that you can't even add another 1060 to your rig for SLI down the road makes this card the road, makes the 1060 a terrible buy.

 

I don't care if it's getting 10-15% more frames, it's still only hitting the same thresholds (1080@60 ultra/very high, 1440@60 high)  as the 480, No more.
