Okay, now to get to what this post is really about, which is the latest GTX release, the GTX 1060. It has been available for purchase as of the 19th of July, 2016. The 1060 is like the big brother of the GTX 960, however the performance of the 1060 is almost double compared to the 960.
One of the differences between the 960 and the 1080 is that the 1080 has an entirely new architecture. the Nvidia Pascal is the latest and greatest in the world of GPUs, the performance of Pascal is roughly 10X that of the Maxwell, which supports the 960. It is one of the best architectures in the world up until now! Pascal supports virtual reality headsets and provides smooth game play.
The GTX 1060 Founders Edition looks pretty similar to the 1080 and 1070 considering the shield and single fan. The great thing about the 1060 is that it has low power requirements, it only needs 120 Watts, and for those of you who don't know a great deal about graphics cards, that is incredibly low and it leads to better performance for your PC because there is not a lot of strain on the power supply. The 1060 is an entry level graphics card, however compared to the 960 which only 1024 CUDA Cores the 1060 has 1280 CUDA Cores, which drastically improves the performance. For those of you who enjoy overclocking, the 1060 can easily make 1.7 MHz.
Here are all the specs for the GTX 1060
To conclude all of this, the GTX 1060 is definitely a good buy if you are looking for a fair priced GPU with high performance for its range. It is not yet released world wide but it will make its way to your local computer hardware store.
If you do already own a GTX 1060 please leave some feedback down in the comments.
