Performance NVIDIA is 4,35 teraflops.
After the company AMD has unveiled a budget graphics card Radeon RX 480 for $ 199, NVIDIA had no choice but to offer its users something comparable in price and quality. Of course, cards and even GTX 1080 GTX 1070 can’t compete with its cost with a solution from AMD, but announced on the eve of the GTX 1060 is quite able to compete with the competitor’s offer.
So, what is this beast and what it eats? Let’s face it. GeForce GTX 1060 contains a 1280 CUDA cores, clocked at up to 1.7 GHz. For comparison, the model 1070 such nuclei 1920 and 1080 – 2560. The card offers users a slightly cut-down 192-bit bus data transfer (from 1070 and 1080 – 256 bit) and 6 GB of GDDR5 memory (GTX 1080 uses more expensive memory GDDR5X), operating at a frequency of 8 GHz and has a bandwidth of 192 GB/s video Card while consuming only 120 Watts, in contrast to the GTX 1080, which needs 180 Watts. Performance NVIDIA is 4,35 teraflops, which is 80% more than its predecessor in the face of the GTX 960.
We remind you that AMD has offered its budget vidicarta Radeon RX 480 in two versions: with 4 GB of memory and 8 GB. The first is $ 199 and the second $ 50 more expensive. So NVIDIA competes directly with the second option RX 480, true, GTX 1060 only 6 GB of memory for the same money. If we translate the cost of graphics cards for our money, the Radeon RX 480 c 4 GB of memory costs about 16,000 rubles, with 8 GB of memory – a little less than 19 000 rubles, and looking at the big retailers dealing in components, you can see that the prices of these are not so far from the truth. Although, of course, you can find these graphics cards, and 24 000 rubles. Here everything depends on conscience of sellers.
As for the GTX 1060: new Pascal GPU family significantly exceeds the power card the GTX 980, while winning it in price. The GPU should arrive on July 19 of this year. This announcement will stick fairly sizeable spanner in AMD, which has already run into a few problems on running the RX 480. Despite a fairly warm reception from most reviewers, their new map suffers from high power consumption and temperature under load.
