NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

The GTX 1070 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Pascal set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 1060 6GB is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 254. NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Pascal graphics card inside the GTX 1060 6GB, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

The GTX 1060 6GB is much more expensive than the GTX 960 as it costs a whopping $ 254. Compare this to the GTX 960, which came originally at a price of $ 199. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the RX 580 which costs $ 229. Spec for spec, this GTX 1060 6GB leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 960, by boasting 76.3 % more fps.

The GTX 1060 6GB has 6 GB RAM compared to the GTX 960 's 2 GB video memory. In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 1060 6GB blows past the GTX 960 and, amazingly, even the GTX 970 as well.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 1060 6GB consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 960 and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 580, the GTX 1060 6GB was -6.2 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Hitman 2, Apex Legends, F1 2019, Overwatch 2, Spider-Man Remastered at 61 fps to 67 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 105 fps to 105 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 105 fps.

The GTX 780 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Kepler set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 770 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Kepler graphics card inside the GTX 770, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, R9 280X, the GTX 770 was -8 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 82 fps to 82 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 82 fps.

GTX 1060 6GB vs GTX 770 with i7-6700K vs i7-3770K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / i7-6700K

At 1440p, GTX 1060 6GB can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. It is clear that the GTX 1060 6GB is a significantly more capable high-end card that can play AAA titles at 1080p/1440p with 50-60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is excellent for GTX 1060 6GB against the competition in budget mid-range cards. In terms of memory, the GTX 1060 6GB 's 6144 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 / i7-3770K

It is worth noting that the GTX 770 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. With current 2048 MB RAM, the GTX 770 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. This combination between GTX 770 and Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss. This combination between GTX 770 and Intel Core i7-3770K @ 3.50GHz is a perfect match to avoid FPS loss. With current 2048 MB RAM, the GTX 770 can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.

Will a sli 770 2gb be good for modern day games? It performs fine but sometimes it's slacking in games like pubg, or should I wait till gpus stabilize in price and get gtx 1060?

Hello! I have had this problem for awhile.My Palit GTX 1060 3GB and an i7-7700 are stuttering mostly in Battlefield 1 and many other titles like GTA 5, CSGO (Mostly FPS isn't like it used to).

That's because after re-starting you've flushed the system ram/vram!Okay, my final post. I think it's your ram, and lack thereof. Everything you've described is what happens when your ram fills up and uses the swap file. Specially, with BF1 and because it happens after approx 2 hours and in general terms when gaming.You could check this, when the game starts stuttering, check HWMon, or windows tool, and see if your disk usage goes up at the same time. If it does, then you know it's like I've described and you need more ram.If you are getting more ram, don't just buy another stick. Get a matched kit 2 x 8 to rule out compatibility issues. Then sell your current 8gb stick to offset the cost.8gb used to be perfect for gaming. 16gb is now the sweet spot, specially for AAA gaming.Anyway, good luck with your system, and hope it works out for you

Okay I am writing this thread because my friend (who is very generous) selling his GTX 960 4GB to me for $60. I am currently running a GTX 770 2GB. I have read that the GTX 770 can be faster in certain situations. But I am lacking VRAM with the GTX 770. Should I ditch my 770 for a 960? Also, would it be more worth it to stick with my GTX 770 and wait to get a GTX 1060? Thanks for any replies!

Depends what you are playing. Although your friend is offering a good price for a GTX 960 4GB your GTX 770 certainly isn't worse enough to be worth spending $60 upgrading to a 960 despite the 4GB VRAM. Im my opinion, you should save up for a new card to get a good boost in performance worth the money. What are you trying to achieve atm? I'd say a RX 470 would be minimum to look at but a RX 480/GTX 1060 6GB would be ideal upgrades. Anything lower than an RX 470 wouldn't be a justifiable upgrade. Hope this helps 1080p 60 Hz Medium/High > RX 470 4GB1080p 60 Hz High/Ultra > RX 480 8GB / GTX 1060 6GB1080p 120/144 Hz Ultra > GTX 1070.

My roommate and I have Identical builds, we are both running 4670k's with EVGA GTX 770 ACX SC 2gb's. I recently purchased an MSI 1060 Gaming X.I was wondering, should he upgrade also or should we just stick my GTX 770 and SLI them in his build? Is there a huge difference between SLI'ed 770's and a 1060 for 1080p gaming? Hard to find definitive numbers on this. Thanks for the help.

Personaly I think if you will sell him your 770 at at lest 75% of an 1060, its more value to get an 770 sli. But if not, an 770 sli is not a good choise if you have the much newer and better 1060 than a 770 and you dont need to worry about sli compatibilty...And remember that 770 sli can consume 500w of your psu...so if the second 770 will be realy cheap for him then go, if not, he will win much more with the 1060...

Hi, I'd like to know if it's worth replacing my 770 2GB with a 1060 6GB. What are the most important things to look for when buying a gpu? How often should I upgrade? I've noticed that my once sufficient video card is insufficient to run the the latest games at high/ultra settings. I dont want to overspend my money, so I'd like a cost efficient recommendation. Also, I'd like to know when video cards are on sale for the lowest price. I'm looking at NCIX, as I live in Canada. Thank you.

going from a gtx 770 to a gtx 1060 will be a solid upgrade. Some people get a new card every generation, others every other generation. I prefer the every other generation unless I have upgraded my monitor/TV and need the extra horse power. If it were me i would not go more then three generations without upgrading.
