Gigabyte Launches GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming D5X 6G (w/ GDDR5X)

Gigabyte Launches GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming D5X 6G (w/ GDDR5X)

A week or so ago we noted that NVIDIA would be releasing a GeForce GTX 1060 based on faster GDDR5X memory. Gigabyte is the first to out a graphics card based on the new spec, it's called the GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming D5X 6G

On the US NVIDIA website the new refresh SKU could already be found. By using GDDR5X over GDDR5 NVIDIA is able to create an answer on price and performance towards the pending RX 590, at least that is the thesis. The new model would be priced in the 299 USD bracket. Gigabyte is the first to introduce this model. Normally you'd look at 6 GB 8 Gbps GDDR5 memory on a 192-bit bus. Precise specs, however, are missing, the GDDR5X is listed at 192 GB/s which we hope is a mistake, as that is the same as it was before :) The shader proc count is the standard 1280 units:

Features

  • Powered by GeForce GTX 1060
  • Integrated with 6GB GDDR5X 192bit memory 
  • WINDFORCE 3X with Blade Fan Design & 3D Active Fan
  • 16.7M Customizable Color RGB Lighting

Core Clock

  • Boost: TBD MHz/ Base: TBD MHz in OC Mode
  • Boost: TBD MHz/ Base: TBD MHz in Gaming Mode

Time will tell what this does in performance. We expect AMD to get 5 to 10% faster with their new 12nm models, perhaps the GDDR5X memory on the GTX 1060 can offer a similar increase. With this new refresh SKU one thing becomes clear as well, a GeForce GTX 2060 is not going be released anytime soon. Thanks, SH SOTN for the news submitted.

Glad to see an alternative to the RTX line of video cards , i think the RTX 2060 would be an expensive one. I'm waiting for the Asus ROG Matrix Turbo Strix GT DirectCUII OC Poseidon Platinum Edition GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5X :eek:

Pretty sure they said no tensor on x60 type products, so RTX branding is limited to x70 and above. No that this means much since nvidia have been known to create new upper tiers and utilizing the old tier branding assumptions to lead those not in the know (aka the vast majority) into thinking they are buying a better product (with the accompanying price hike) than they are actually buying. #marketing

Popularity=Sales numbers. 1080ti is the most powerful of the Pascal card, Steam charts alone show what is the most used/popular card.

https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

1080 and 1080ti are low on the list.
I would not word it that way. It is not talking as much about popularity of particular card as popularity of nV over AMD.
Cause for 1060 being used so much... It is most common price range where people shop for GPU. And nVidia is more popular of only 2 brands making GPUs in that price range.

It's like with the cars. Different people shop in different price categories. And in each category there are cars from different brands.
Volkswagen can be popular. Price range and popularity does not fit together.
= = = =
As for that 14.29% which 1060 holds. It says something. And that's: Brand popularity means everything in that market.
You have RX-470/480/570/580 delivering about same performance as different editions of GTX 1060. They have similar or better performance/$ + much more accessible Adaptive Sync implementation.
Yet AMD holds only ~1.5% in that price range.
