Our test bed continues to be a Core i7-5930K 4.2GHz, which I've been using for over a year, and frankly it shows no signs of needing an update. Other than that change and a few updates to other scores, the preview results remain mostly the same. Specifically, I was able to test Doom using the Vulkan API, which proved a real boon to AMD GPUs (but only helped a few select Nvidia cards, mostly where CPU bottlenecks were present-like on the GTX 1080). So how does GTX 1060 perform? In between our initial preview and this final review, we've had a few changes in our benchmarks.

Of course game developers are free to use low-level APIs (DX12 and Vulkan) and features like explicit multi-adapter to take advantage of multiple GPUs-Ashes of the Singularity does this-but so far developers haven't been eager to do so.ĭrivers: AMD Crimson 16.7.1, Nvidia 372. It's still possible to do so-and you could always add a third GPU for PhysX, though there aren't really enough PhysX enabled games around to make that a compelling argument-but going forward it looks like dual-GPUs is now the recommended 'maximum' configuration. The lack of SLI support also goes along with Nvidia's message on the GTX 1080/1070, where they specifically recommend against going beyond two GPUs at this point. Still, it does give AMD's RX 480 a potential advantage for dual-GPU systems. This might seem like a major problem, but in practice most users I've encountered typically don't do SLI (or CF) unless they're already using a high-end graphics card. One final tidbit that might sway buyers into opting for the more expensive GTX 1070/1080 is that Nvidia doesn't support SLI on the GTX 1060. At $250 this is a nice card, but budget-minded gamers are more likely to be swayed by the sub-$200 prices on RX 470-or wait and see what the GTX 1050 has to offer at some point in the future.

New features like simultaneous multi-projection make this the better card, and if you're upgrading graphics cards then you're more likely looking at replacing something from the GTX 700 era, if not a GTX 600/500 series card (or an AMD equivalent like the R9 280/HD 7950). And if you're currently running a GTX 970, the performance increase isn't really that large right now. The GTX 1060 is a worthy successor to the GTX 960, but pricing has increased by at least $50, if not $100, which means in some ways it's really more of a replacement for the GTX 970.

I'll be putting together full reviews and performance numbers over the next week or so, but today let's talk about the GTX 1060-which is one of the best graphics cards you can buy.īut since we just finished talking about prices, much like the RX 480 we have to temper our enthusiasm slightly. I haven't had a chance to test the RX 470 and RX 460 yet (see 'life happens' above), but performance figures elsewhere have the RX 470 trailing the RX 480 by about 15 percent the RX 460 meanwhile is a distinctly budget GPU, sitting about 40 percent below the RX 470 and less than half the performance of the RX 480…but also half the price. Meanwhile, AMD has launched its RX 480, RX 470, and RX 460, all going after market share with suggested prices below that of the GTX 1060 RX 480 remains overpriced right now, unfortunately. GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 are also in stock, and like the 1060 they're also available below Founders Edition prices. There are actually a few cards occasionally showing up at the bottom of Nvidia's suggested $250-$300 price range, with other non-Founders Edition cards priced below $300. Let's start with online pricing, since that's often the most pressing issue for buyers.
