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?

Nvidia recently said it wants to keep everything simple, but by adding letters to the end of Items doesn't make anything simple.
There should just be numbers, as some people have suggested 1065.
This also annoys me about motherboards as well.
Whats with all the letters and numbers?
A320, B350, X370... whats wrong with just 1 letter and the 3 numbers? Series A/Model 3 Version 20/50/70... there is really no reason to make things so complicated.
Whoever markets products, really loves confusing the hell out of people.

Here comes the 1060ti that was expected 18 months ago.
You can get higher performance even with less shaders as they probably won't shave off ROPS.

Well according to Hilbert's article he wrote the performance of this card will be no different to a normal GTX 1060, instead it's just using the GP104 silicon of the GTX 1070 with shaders disabled so that it has the same number of shaders as the current GTX 1060 - so to quote Hilbert in his article:

Yeah surely it'll be a Ti.. makes sense to slot something in as there's quite a gap between 1060 and 1070 price wise.

This means that NVidia don't really have to name this product any differently to a normal GTX 1060, because to the consumer it performs the same & the technical specs are the same - it's not really a different product.
