Review: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 3GB

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/22/2016 01:45 PM | source: | 21 comment(s)

We take the new 3GB model GeForce GTX 1060 from MSI for a test-ride as we look at their new Gaming X 3GB model. A card aimed at the budget minded consumer with a price-tag at (219 USD) compared to the Founders Edition 6GB model. But is it any good ?

Read our review right here.

Okay at 1080 but yeah don't really get this card TBH. Someone will by it thinking that it is just as fast as the 6GB version and I find that disingenuous.

Just to clarify - this isn't just a 3GB VRAM difference. Stuff like CUDA cores and shader units are slightly cut back too, which explains why this GPU's performance still suffers even at 1080p resolutions. If the only spec that changed was the amount of VRAM, I suspect this GPU would perform just about equal with the 6GB model (in 1080p games). Nvidia's memory compression is pretty decent.

A+ post, very constructive.

Like amd's lineup makes any sense. 4gb/8gb 470s and 480s.
They should have made the 470 4gb and 480 8gb.

But all we see is your praise for amd and troll posts in nv sections.

3GB card is plenty for lower resolutions. Don't see how that is hard to understand
