Nice card, definitely the best price performance ratio, when compared to 1070 and 1080. Also notice in the game charts, how the difference in FPS terms between the 1060 and 1070 is about the same as between the 1070 and 1080.
Basically nvidia covered all fronts, but prices on 1070 and especially 1080 are still way, way over the top. And they will remain there, until AMD puts out their equivalent to those cards, and hopefully to the 1080Ti as well.

Is there a list with vulcan titles that are coming ?
Seems Doom is already running at high enough frames , nice if you have a really low end card not this. Talos principle is also not really a good example.
Any id game in the future. We will probably play new Quake/Prey 2 with Vulcan API.

It's got to be an error. The fact it goes over 200 puts their RX480 numbers into question.
My guess, someone read the graphs wrong.
Look at GTX980 Tomb Raider maximum fps lol, seriously?

No it can't go over 200. I think that is some measurement error from their part. I think maxes are half of their peak performance. I don't know what they are using to capture frametimes, since I didn't know there is program reliable for that yet on Vulkan. This can be similiar problem than we had at start on AMD on fcat under dx12.

gtx980 pulls ahead of 1060 in most games despite nvidia saying they perform the same. Overclocking 980 to 1500mhz would smash 1060.
Just like with rx480, this card is only if upgrading from gtx960 or less.

They used presetmon to capture frametimes.
We used PresentMon for Vulkan and DX12.

TPU Average has it 1% over the 980. The performance is the same as the 980. I mean yeah, you can OC both cards and there may be a difference, and yeah maybe the 980 pulls ahead at QHD/4K or w/e. But it's not like Nvidia is going to clarify every single scenario.

Have you looked at other reviews? Not including custom cards most have the 1060 at or near the 980.
One FE review .
GTX 1060 delivers impressive performance that's twice as high as GTX 960, its predecessor, which was released at a lower $200 price point though. Compared to AMD's RX 480, the card is clearly faster when averaged out over our test suite at 1080p, with a performance increase of around 7%. This means the GTX 1060 nearly exactly matches GTX 980 performance, similar to R9 Fury, just 10% shy of R9 Fury X, AMD's current flagship. GTX 980 Ti is 20% faster, GTX 1070 beats the 1060 by 35% - overall very good positioning.

Well yeah, that's a whole different argument. The custom cards are faster then the FE tested here out of the box and they are cheaper.

Custom cards are usually higher clocked. I read FE review.

Here we go Doom Vulkan:
Just under the 970 like some channels in YT reported. It must be a driver issue. It performs bad in Vulcan and that means something.
edit: sry for double post.

The one I linked above is FE review - guess lottery does effect things.

Hmm the Rise of the Tomb Raider performance is kind of leaning me towards the 1060 over the 480. Still a good card though but the prices need to come down a little over this side I think (£300 for a ASUS 1060, madness).

It's up and down.
If we look at 1080p numbers which is what we should be looking at for this card;
GTX1060/GTX980
Tomb Raider 78/76 WIN
Hitman 65/62 WIN
Warhammer 71/72
AoTS 49/50 (2K res results)
Doom 108/114
Primal 71/69 WIN
Anno 70/80
GTA5 90/88 WIN
Division 62/67
Thief 79/71 WIN
Witcher3 59/60
Hardline 73/71 WIN
Alien 138/139
Mordor 74/78 (2k res results)
Total = 1087 vs 1097 fps
Taking into account HH's benchmark numbers we're talking 10fps total difference out of nearly 1100fps, that's less than 1% difference. Overall, I'd say Nvidia was right to say they perform the same tbh.
Of 14 games tested, GTX1060 beats GTX980 in 6 games, with a further 4 games only 1fps difference. GTX980 further clearly beats (more than 1fps) in 4 games. Neck n neck I'd say.
GTX1060: GTX980 performance for the masses is correct. (less than 1% overall difference @1080p.)

Well, it's clear 1060 is a better card than RX480. Good product, at 250$ it's indeed a great deal!
Great review Hilbert!
