The GTX 1060 is Nvidia’s third 16 nm Pascal based GPU. It follows last month’s release of the higher end GTX 1070 and 1080. The 1060 has a TDP of 120 Watts and its aftermarket variants are available right away alongside the reference Founders edition. Comparing the GTX 1060 and 970 shows that although the 1060 leads by 12% it is also currently more expensive. Nvidia rushed the release of the GTX 1060 to help retain market share that may otherwise have gone to AMD’s new Polaris based RX 480. Comparing the RX 480 and GTX 1060 shows that for pre DX12 games the 1060 edges ahead by 12%. Due to better hardware compatibility, the RX 480 is able to match the 1060 in DX12 games but this will remain a corner case until most games are optimized for DX12 (likely to take several years). The 1060 has the potential to become a hugely successful card provided prices settle appropriately. [Jul '16GPUPro]
Integrated graphics found in NVIDIA chipsets, mostly from Apple. The GeForce 320M, though outdated, can still put up a fair fight against graphics cards like the HD 6450. Overclocking is easy and very good on this iGPU, making tasks like watching YouTube a lot easier.
Benchmarks:
Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion (1280 x 800 medium 2x)
~ 40 FPS
GTA V (540 x 400 normal no shadows)
~ 30 FPS
Minecraft 1.17.x (Fancy, 8 chunks, optifine)
~ 50 FPS (Bottlenecked by CPU)
Unfortunately, these are usually paid with low-powered Core 2 Duo's.
