We can’t wait to benchmark the card and bring you the results on July 19th! ![]() The great news is that NVIDIA says that the GTX 1060 appears to be a stellar overclocker with NVIDIA saying that you can easily overclock the CUDA cores to 2GHz and possibly beyond! NVIDIA is usually somewhat conservative when it comes to announcing overclocking performance before a product launch, so to claim it can hit 2GHz is a good sign that this $249 graphics card has plenty of headroom left in it! The GeForce GTX 1060 performs quite well at stock speeds though as NVIDIA claims it will beat the AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB graphics card ($239) by an average of 15% on top game titles and is over 75% more power efficient. Not bad for a card that uses a single 6-pin connector and has a TDP rating of just 120 Watts! The GeForce GTX 1060 would have 3.85 TFLOPS of peak compute performance. According to leaked GPU-Z screenshots a stock clocked GeForce GTX 1060 has a pixel fill rate of 72.3 GPixel/s while the texture fill rate is 159.6 GTexel/s. When it comes to memory you are looking at 6GB of good old GDDR5 memory running at 8Gbps on a 192-bit bus for 192.2 GBs. NVIDIA was able to get impressive clock frequencies out of the Pascal GP104 GPU used on the GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 series and it appears that trend will continue on the GeForce GTX 1060 as it has 1280 CUDA Cores that are running at a base clock of 1506 MHz and a boost clock of 1709 MHz. ![]() The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 features the brand new Pascal GP106 GPU that is made on the 16nm FinFET manufacturing process by TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 will be coming on July 19th for as little as $249 from board partners and will feature GeForce GTX 980-level performance! NVIDIA will also be releasing a special limited GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition, basically the reference model, that will be available only directly from NVIDIA for $299.
