Nvidia might overhaul GeForce GTX 1060 with GP104 (a GTX 1070 GPU)

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?

my best speculation is that they sit on a lot of gp104 chips that are not qualifying to become a 1070 ... so chop em down and make em 1060's !

yeah would make more sense since it is different hardware but if cudas are the same memory is the same bus is the same ...logic says it will perform identical no ? i guess we will see ? it puzzles me too

I don't like them re-using an old name for new hardware. I like the 1065 as well.

I have a better idea, release a new damn card with an architecture that isn't 2+ years old.

This is what happens to the market when the only competition is one generation behind.

They should bring back LE names for their cards as they brought back Ti so this card would be 1070LE, 1060 3GB would be 1060LE, etc.

This will be a lovely card for 1080p. The 1060 is almost 2 years old now, this will make it the king of affordable GPUs for 1080p, if the price is right, of course. It'll be cheaper than the 1070 so shouldn't be too bad.
