TDP and power draw is almost unbelievable at 150W for such a high-performance GPU
Using only one 8-pin PCIe cable
In contrast the Fury X requires two 8-pin cables
Overclockability is very good so far – GPU Boost 3.0 works with the Precision X overcloc
The EVGA GTX 1060 3GB beats the Red Devil RX 470 overall in performance at a similar price
With one 6-pin PCIe connector
TDP and power draw are good and it is quiet in comparison to the reference GTX 1060 Founders Edition. ACX 2.0 cooling is very effect
The EVGA GTX 1080 FTX beats the more expensive Founders Editon in performance
And it beats its Fury X competitor in every benchmark at a similar price
TDP and power draw are good and it is very quiet in comparison to almost any other high-performance vi

The video memory at 3GB limits the GTX 1060 to 1920×1080 resolution
PrecisionX OC refused to launch for us after activation. We probably left overclocking performance on the table by setting our overclock manually by being unable to use the advanced overclocking features it offers
If you are buying a top performing video card right now and looking for the highest performance at a really good price, the GTX 1070 is the only choice since the GTX 1080 is much more expensive...

With the addition of Asynchronous Compute support to Rise of the Tomb Raider the game's performance under DirectX 12 has never been better for GPUs that support it. Even GPUs without support like the GTX 980Ti have seen some large increases in minimum f...

We knew Rise of the Tomb Raider was going to be a forward looking game in terms of technology and push the GPU industry forward. It has some great graphical effects that push GPUs to their limits and give us a reason to upgrade our GPUs for better visual...

So far DirectX 12 has been both exciting and disappointing to PC gamers, with games like Ashes of the Singularity showing massive performance gains and fascinating new technologies like Explicit Multi-GPU and games like Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and...
We're raiding tombs again, Gorgeous, immersive, Great blend of survival & exploration, Depth in customization w/ tons of skills to acquire, Plenty to do for would-be adventurers, Significant replayability
Gun battles seem overly used, add little to core appeal, Lukewarm, uninspiring story line, Very intensive on low-midrange systems
Your rig may not be ready for Rise Of The Tomb Raider on full-tilt max settings but the PC version is the definitive experience in our humble opinion. Additionally, the game improves on the 2013 reboot with more to do and far more replayability, thanks to...
Overall, I'm kind of disappointed. Not by this game, not at all, it's great! It's just that not alot of people played it last year, what being an Xbox One exclusive coming out the same day as Fallout 4. The game itself is fantastic, it has some of the bes...

We are impressed with how aggressive Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix is being with Rise of the Tomb Raider in terms of patches. It seems SLI and CrossFire are actually working, and working well. Certainly this is good news for PC gamers. There have been...
