NVIDIA Silently Launches The GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

And just like that NVIDIA and their board partners have silently launched the new GeForce GTX 1060 3GB to the earth. Dropping a few things other than just the memory capacity Pascal is now competing at the Sub $200 price indicate. Taking on the likes of the Radeon $179 RX 470 4GB and the $199 RX 480 4GB.

We reported last calendar week that these cards would exist incoming, merely they dropped with quickness and silence. At present this isn't the showtime time nosotros've seen a 3GB variant of the GTX 1060 as Zotac released a 3GB mini model when the GTX 1060 first rolled out. Just this is a scrap unlike. For this model they've cutting a SM from the GP 106 core resulting in 1152 CUDA Cores rather than the full 1280 establish in the GTX 1060 6GB model. The Base of operations and Boost clocks volition be adamant by vendors based on models, but the entry EVGA card has the aforementioned 1506MHz Base and 1708MHz Heave that the GTX 1060 6GB model is rated at. Simply the reduced core count result in a downtick from 4.4TFLOPs down to 4 TFLOPs, and then around ten% slower on average. The GPU yet sports the aforementioned 120w TDP and even though the memory capacity has been reduced from 6GB down to 3GB it still maintains the same 192-bit bus.

Information technology looks like the RX 470 doesn't go uncontested for very long at the ~$199 price point. With stock being low on all of the current Polaris and Pascal based cards information technology should be interesting to run across where terminal pricing lands. We know that the lineup of the GTX 1060 3GB cards are priced starting at $199, only whether they stay there stands to exist seen.

The 3GB VRAM may exist a bit of a question for a lot of people seeing as how the cards competitor at this price signal is packing in 4GB. It's very clear that this card is focused directly at that sweetness spot 1080p High settings gaming so it should not show too much of an consequence…today. Merely we're already seeing games at 1080p starting to chew through VRAM upward to and exceeding 4GB. It's an easy issue to circumvent by reducing filters and texture settings, but definitely something buyers will be taking into consideration.

So what are your thoughts on the new GeForce GTX 1060 3GB? Does it nail the sugariness spot 1080p gaming marketplace, or do its changes while maintaining the GTX 1060 name seem a fleck disruptive. We'd love to hear your thoughts downwards in the comment section.
