The 3GB GTX 1060 follows last month’s release of the 6GB GTX 1060. The 3GB variant not only has reduced memory but Nvidia have also disabled 10 percent of the processing cores from 1,280 down to 1,152. There is no reference edition of the 3GB 1060 but the partner cards are already available (at launch). Comparing the GTX 6GB 1060 and 3GB 1060 shows that the 6GB 1060 leads, on average, by 7% but it is also currently 15% more expensive. The GTX 1060 is Nvidia’s answer to AMD’s new Polaris based RX 470. Comparing the RX 470 and 3GB 1060 shows that for pre DX12 games the 1060 edges ahead by 11%. The RX 470 is able to match the 3GB 1060 in DX12 games but this will remain a corner case until most games are optimized for DX12 (likely to take several years). The 3GB 1060 has the potential to become a hugely successful card, especially if prices drop below $200. [Sep '16GPUPro]
60 plus percent faster than my GTX 970 in my old gaming pc (Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 970) was. This GPU is on-par with a GTX 980 Ti, Vega 56, and GTX 1070.
My particular 2070 Max-Q, though, gets roughly an average score of 92-93%, making it nearly as powerful as a desktop RTX 2060 Super, GTX 1070-Ti, and Vega 64
(Intel Core i7-10750H, RTX 2070 with Max-Q design)
With 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, this is a very good and futureproof card (at least for my needs.) [Apr '21Drakorvich]
