The editors didn't like
Absence of SLI

None at this time
Founders Edition is a bit too expensive versus "base model" GTX 1060 cards

But similar performance
Less-expensive competing AMD card can be faster

Overall, GeForce GTX 1060 follows a string of well executed NVIDIA launches throughout the Maxwell and now Pascal generations, and GTX 1060 is no different. NVIDIA has continued to focus on balancing performance with power consumption, and the end result...

Although a powerful and power-efficient video card, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (Founders Edition) can't quite compete with the less-expensive competition from AMD...

Abstract: The GeForce GTX 1060 is a huge contender on the great green and red GPU battlefield as Nvidia makes a hard push back into the budget market, which was recently given a much-needed kick in the pants by AMD and their Polaris-powered RX 480.Of course the tru...
Frametime results tell us a lot about single and multi-GPU setups in the way they interact in framerate, latency and anomalies. You will, however, see less issues on a single GPU setup (obviously). But hey, if there is a problem, rest assured it would be...
Abstract: After debuting the fastest high-end and mid-range video cards ever seen, the GTX 1080 and 1070 , we expected a lot from NVIDIA's new lower-tier entry, the $249 GeForce GTX 1060 . And the stakes were raised even higher after AMD launched the Radeon RX 480...
Okay now that we have gotten a look at everything, let's take a step back and look at what our results are telling us. Nvidia said that the GTX 1060 would perform close to the GTX 980. I busted out our 980 and did the tests. What I found when going back...

When the RX 480 release was imminent, I received repeated bursts of information that NVIDIA would have answer to it sooner rather than later. I took these broadcasts for what they usually are: corporate PR attempts to temper our excitement about a competi...
I am going to keep this conclusion short and sweet, because chances are good you already knew of what the GTX 1060 was made of before even clicking on the review.As expected, the GTX 1060 is faster than AMD's RX 480, and in some cases, the gain is notable...
The GeForce GTX 1060 is simply overpriced at the Founders Edition asking price of $299. However, at $249 custom add-in-board partner video cards make a lot of sense. It will be interesting to see what is offered. The AMD Radeon RX 480 is going to end up c...

Concluding thoughts…There is a significant difference between the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1060. But playing at 1080p should be enough to enjoy the gameplay it can provide between medium and high settings depending on the game. Looking at its DX11 performance...
