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.

I'm glad they released this, there wasn't quite enough combinations of 1050-1060's. Another 5 or 6 and we shall be sorted.

It's not a horrible idea. At least it's not the same 1060 we get from every other partner. This should actually have some performance difference. Considering there is still no mid level RTX(and if there was, that cost though), or anything from AMD aside from the rumored Polaris refresh, people still want products like this. It's not gonna do 1440p 120hz, but it's not made to do so. 1080p gaming just fine.

People seem to think if it's not RTX or one of the thousand 1080 series then it's unnecessary. Fact is, this price performance point is the most popular.

It would be interesting to know what 2060 would be like, though. If we assume 1070(Ti) and 1080 are phasing out, there's a huge price & power gap between 1060 5X and 2070.
