Nvidia might overhaul GeForce GTX 1060 with GP104 (a GTX 1070 GPU)
A new rumor just surfaced, fresh from Asia. Nvidia seems to be overhauling the GeForce GTX 1060 one more time. We’ve seen a 6GB 8 Gbps and then 9 Gbps model, of course, the three GB model, heck even a 5GB model for the Asia region, and the latest rumor now indicates a GTX 1060 with a hacked GTX 1070 GPU.
It’s surely been silent at team green, Volta is kept for HPC, AI, and Deep learning usage, and the earlier rumors of a Pascal respin this year, have gone silent. As it seems now though, Nvidia might release a new GeForce GTX 1060 (GP106-400), however now based on a GP104-300 GPU. And that’s the chip used in the GeForce GTX 1070, reports Asia based Expreview.
Now before you get all excited (or not), the specifications in terms of graphics memory and 192-bit memory bus, shader count (1280), clocks and TDP etc, would remain the same and as such the performance levels would be the same as well. That begs the question, as to why Nvidia would release these revised GTX 1060 cards? Perhaps clearing GPU stock to make room for new products? Then again, the 1070's have been selling like puppies with the recent mining craze, weird huh?

I meant soft lock. Because on AMD's side, people try to unlock almost everything and with some manufacturers and production runs, they get lucky.
If it had more than spec sheet stated out of the box, it would be too obvious. People have to either mod vBIOS or just flash 1070 in there.
Yes, I see what you mean now, perhaps that will be case, we'll see, and I think this use of GTX 1070 silicon is a rumour as it currently stands, I don't think it's confirmed & may not even happen.

That's rich from someone who forms question by having "?" at end, while starting it with "You do". Because that would be very acceptable form here in Central Europe, Easter Europe, Or in Southern European countries and many others. But grammatically incorrect in English.
Isn't it: "Do you ... ?" or "You..., don't you?"
But in the end, understanding meaning is not in having grammatically correct text, but having experienced other languages. And will to understand over reading what you want to read.
You're wrong. Also, it's Eastern, not Easter. Two completely different things.

Man, that's regular typo. I make worse at 6AM. Otherwise I would do same thing to "Southern", which I did not. And it is actually saying something. Not about me...
I say: "You're wrong." I do not feel like explaining where you are wrong either.

Ok meta please relax the issue if we can call it that is so minor not worth to get worked over that mate !
fox got what i meant .
Anyway let me word it diferently!
There is absolutly no problem what so ever using the gp204 for a 1060 variant ,every single product in cpus / gpus we have other than the top end are lower binned products often with disabled cores / shaders etc etc ! This is great drives the final cost down of every cpu/gpu for example the ryzen cpus out of the same waffers they made pretty much a whole line up now if they where throwing away anything that can not become a 1800x prices would have been waaaaay higher ! My only AND only issue is that they should name it slightly diferently in my opinion as they should have done with the 1060 3gb version also.
And i gues yes the way we word things can be puzzling at times! English is indeed not my native language (i am greek)
