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]
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]
