GTX 1060 6GB $249 Comes Out July 19th

>>55454973
Glad I've waited. Nvidia really delivers.

>>55454973
>yet another graphics card thread

The 8gb 480 is 200 bucks

Starting at means it will be 250 for the 3gb model

Also wait for aib


Stupid summerniggershillpajeetnewfriendledditfag

>>55454973
inb4 another vram scam

Do any of you really believe "faster than 480" meme?

>>55455004
Your post is wrong. 8gb 480 is 240 bucks. There is no 3gb model of the 1060.

>>55455017
Fire Strike benchmarks already confirm it's faster than 480.

>Its another "nvidiots still think their mid end gee pee jews can beat d's mid end"

>>55455032
There isnt a single 4gb 480


They are all 8gb

IS it the same GPU as the other two GTX 10** cards?

>>55454973
I hope "starting at $249" means that it's the non founders edition. No 3GB version, please.

>>55455052
No silly

Those were test models

>>55455055
Looks like the 6gb version is $249, no sign of the 3GB

If the 3GB does come out later might be $199

There is no 3GB card, only 6GB

>>55455059
Then how come there are people peeling stickers from "4Gb" RX480 boxes revealing 8gb and flashing bios to get 8gb cards? Maybe in the future there will be true 4gb versions, but for now every card is 8gb hardware.

>>55455084

That $250 is literally damage control for the RX 480.

The 1070 is $380. Any markup are just retailers price gouging because demand is so high.

This is you typical Nvidia fags here. If its not a worse deal or something that mommy will count as both their birthday AND christmas present combined, they think its a scam

Please screen cap these posts. We need to immortalize Nvidia fags for what they really are.

>>55455053
what do you think?

>>55455140
AMD scammed everyone who bought an 8gb card because they are paying extra for nothing.

qt 3.14 1050 when

>>55455053
No it's all new

>>55455131
okay, how do you explain 970 going for 300-350 on launch day then?

nvidia started foundry edition scam - aibs followed because base price is astronomical to begin with

If only Nvidia fags could read

>>55455118
Nvidia pricing always like that, doubling price the lowend together for mid, and doubling mid to high end since like geforce 6 series. The 1060 should be 185$ but dunno why it cost $240

>>55454991
GPU's are technolo/g/y. Deal with it grampa.

>>55455160
Prices are going to be high no matter what if demand is higher than supply.

We are seeing the same thing with the 480 and all new card releases - marked up prices because supply sucks.

I recommend getting this thing as soon as you can before the scalpers get to it. Pre-order, setup notifications for Amazon and Newegg.

Or just wait a few months if you want to get it as cheap as possible as supply levels out.

>>55455177
BACK IN MY DAY WE USED GOOD OL FASHION VIDEO CHIPS ON THE MAINBOARD! AND ONLY IF YOU REALLY NEEDED IT, YOU COULD GET AN AGP CARD!

>>55454973
>30W more power efficient than 480

47W more efficient when you consider the 480s actual power consumption and not it's fake-ass TDP.

>>55455244
Yeah that's true, just going by the specs.

Could also add that it won't kill your motherboard like the 480 will :D

Ay dudes, I have a problem with my card.

When I plug it in via display port my monitor displays it but it's very very very dark and slightly fuzzy, changing the brightness etc does nothing, seems like a hardware issue but the monitor works fine via HDMI and the cable works fine in other computers and also the HDMI in the GPU works fine.

And have you been in a room full of professional programmers? There's a reason all these tech companies make their work spaces all industrial themed with vents and shit everywhere. You congregate more then 5 or 6 programmers into room it begins to smell like B.O. and rotting cheese.

Prices start at $250, thats going to be the 3GB version
You're going to pay over $300 if you want 6GB and a decent cooler.

>>55455389
nah its called escalation of commitment

>>55455405
There isn't a 3GB version, the rumors were likely misreporting the 1050.

>>55455405
Why would I pay MORE for a card that doesn't preform as well a 970?

>>55455131
>>55455194
The markup is nvidias own fault you retard. The production limit is intentional so they can jack the price up to whatever they want.

>>55455131
If the cheapest version on Amazon is 430$ then it doesn't cost 380$.

>>55455405
You might want to read the OP article, the 6GB is actually $249

>>55455423
Nvidia doesn't make any extra money, they just sell the boards to retailers and the retailers set the prices.

Unfortunately the retailers know the demand for these things are huge, so they jack up the prices.

Same shit is happening to the 480 and every new GPU.

>Starting at

So, 250$ for 3gb card. In the meantime, Rx 480 was supposed to cost 230$, in US ended with 240-250$ and in EU - 300 EUR. Im afraid to think how much will 1060 6gb cost in Europe.

Sorry, Im still waiting for Rx 480 Nitro.

In before "why buying new card anyway?" - Im using GTX 660 right now, everything will be jump in performance.

So to be clear about this thread so far

Nvidia fans are praising the fact that Nvidia is riding the market to maximize the cost of their new cards.

How do you guys justify this?

>>55455426
He's probably mentioning the fact, that non-reference cards are more expensive than FE ones.

>>55455349
>Nfucks
Everybody with a brain bashed the 480, because AMDshills were non stop shilling it for 2 weeks straight with stuff "1 480 has alrealy the performance of a 980ti", "2 480 have a performance way higher than 1080", "480 is the best card ever", "Look at Ashes of Singularity(tm)" and so on, while the result is at best described as very very underwhelming.

So how much it will be in eurocuck? 400 euro?

1060 will cost $450 or more.

What a pathetic time to be buying video cards. 2012 almost looks like a time of actual competition, in hindsight. Almost.

There is no 3GB card.

Is nvidia ever going to get on the adaptive sync train? I know they will push gsync as much as they possibly can but I believe vr headsets are demanding adaptive sync/freesync

>>55455619
Not to mention AMD cards age far better than Nvidia cards... RX 480 will be 10-20% faster than the 1060 in a year's time.

Anybody who falls for this FE scam is a fool. I'm waiting at least a couple months for all AIB models to come out and reference models to fuck off out of the market.

that's a ridiculous price for a card that's only marginally faster than a RX 480 at stock settings.
Custom RX 480 will overclock to Fury X performance levels and be cheaper than the 1060, which just doesn't have the OC headroom.
Judging by 1070/1080 custom cards you can only expect a 10-15% OC out of Pascal. Meanwhile even the reference 480 can get a 15% OC and custom boards reportedly clock up to 1500-1600Mhz, which is a 25-33% OC

Another Major Disaster for the red corner.

>3gb for $300

Jew lad

>>55455947
It's $249 for 6GB

>>55455924
The point of the benchmark is to show a 15% performance increase by going from stock clocks to 1350MHz. If custom cards go to 1500Mhz or more they will completely blow away the 1060, which will have the same or worse OC headroom as the other Pascal cards, i.e. not a lot

but it isn't. it's 9-10% faster according to Nvidia's own claims (GTX 980 performance) and leaked 3dmark benchmarks

It all depends on whether Nvidia can match the REAL 1060 prices with aftermarket 480s

>>55456034
they don't specify what benchmark they used. Usually they use Witcher 3 in those graphs, but Witcher 3 favors Nvidia, so claiming it's 15% faster in Witcher 3 means it's 5-10% faster in other games

Yeah 1060 is basically better than a 480 in every way

>>55454973
Even if nVidia delivers a better card, I'll buy AMD.

Why? I want the competition to survive, and if this means to buy slightly weaker hardware (wich is not even confirmed to be yet) so be it.
The way I see it, if nVidia keep get more and more share of this market, there will be a point that their low-end stuff will cost $1000 simply because there isn't a competition to counterweight it.

Fuck brand loyalists, you guys need to start thinking about the fucking future.

>>55456207
AMD is already dead, there's nothing you can do. Their desktop products have been only losing money for years. They will probably sell either part of the company or all of it soon.

>>55456207
Don't worry the free market will fix it. It is the best system.

>>55456207
>there will be a point that their low-end stuff will cost $1000
No there won't, people won't buy them.
At worst, you'll see marginal gains in generations.

>>55454973
you should fix the price, it is $299.
A month after 1080 release they are still priced damn high, over $699 but should cost $599.
I bet the 1060 will cost $350 for the first 3 months at least. High end price for a mid tier card. Meanwhile I can get 8gb rx480 under $250.
Meanwhile time passes, dx12 gets more mainstream and amd fixes/improves drivers.

b-but in 5 years the rx480 will finally have proper drivers and beat the 1060

>>55456147
My dad is the lead developer on the Vulkan project and was a consultant for the 1060's development team.

199$-->270€ (rx 480)
239$-->310€ (gtx 1060)
they are both out of my budget, might get a R9 380X @ 200€ because either way i'll never get one if i keep waiting for the next gen

Not only is that argument irrelevant, you're also ignoring GCN.

The 1060 is will be rendered redundant by nvidia themselves, as they have in the past. If you seriously think the 480 won't be better than the 1060 in the long run, you clearly have little knowledge on the history of gpu's.

>>55456447
The 1060 will only get better over time while the 480 will get gimped.

I imagine in a few years time the 1060 will be a whopping 50% faster than the 480.

>>55456229

I cant wait for AMD to BTFO out of Nvidia when Directx12 comes around the corner and blows everything sky high with +100% preformance above the gtx 1080ti.

Nvidia keeps improving while AMD keeps falling behind.

Looks like the 3gb version was just a speculation and in the end there is only a 6gb vram version of 1060 while the 3gb is probably meant to be 1050 laptop card. I'm more than happy to pay $50 more to get actual driver support, shadowplay and better temps (that's a given with nvidia) - will see about OC. I was hoping reviews would be already out.

Overclocking and prices are never a promise. You should look up the acronym msrp.

We can conclude the 1060 is faster than the 980 just by this single fact.

SLI 980 already matches the 1080 with the 1080 winning a few cases, SLI 1060 would leave the 1080 behind while costing less.

Don't think so, more like $279. At 299 I'd predict something around 350-400€. Problem is I can already find 1070's at sub 500€.

no reason not to; nvidia fanboys bought them all up anyways

AMD is literally finished. Exiting desktop business within a year.

>>55455017
I don't

I think it'll be a case of jewworks games favouring the 1060 slightly, with the 480 otherwise outperforming it, and then in dx12 the 480 will have a good 20-25% performance lead.

And 2 years from now the performance difference between the 480 and 1060 will be night-and-day in favor of the 480 because nvidia has this stupid need to gimp their older cards while AMD actually improves them.

AMD is dead, deal with it.

>>55456857
There hasn't been a single good DX12 game, their imaginary performance doesn't matter.

>>55456857
AMD are the ones that gimp their cards.

In 2 years time the 1060 will go from 15% to 50% better than the 480.

Overtime the 480 will just keep getting slower and slower, as AMD gimps it more and more.

While the 1060 keeps getting faster and faster.

>>55456862
Yeah 970 is actually a great card. There's a reason why it's the #1 most popular card on Steam.

>inb4 AMD works for me anon so you're just shill

I'm happy for ya, I have bad experience with AMD products.

>>55456925

Why would they develop a new arch if the current one is still viable? The price performance ratio of the 480 is a good indicator, it's a lot cheaper to develop what you have than starting from scratch. Also historically gcn ages incredibly well, which I don't mind at all.

>>55456925
AMD is just stuck in an endless cycle of shit at this point, they are fucked

>>55456752
Like all those aib $380 1070s right?

>>55457019
It's not been viable ever since the 7970. Then Maxwell came out and shat on everything. GCN is hot, power hungry and overclocks like shit. It doesn't handle tesselation well and that was obvious from the start. So the architecture was at a disadvantage from the moment Nvidia beat the 7970

So it will be faster in goyworks games and it's still more expensive than the rx 480. The gpu market is really an nvidia monopoly when they can do shit like this. Raja poo'd himself with the rx 480

Like I said, it's cheaper to develop what you have, and we all saw it on how the 300's were priced. 980ti-fury x was the only bracket where nvidia had the price/performance advantage, in all the other price points amd had cards offering similar performance for cheaper.

gcn is at the limit of its life. 2048 cu performance went from high end on 7970 to $150 budget line on the 470.

Nah, 1060 will actually fall between 970 and 980 in almost everything. It will be marginally faster than 480. The deal breaker though is that it 1060 can do it within the 150W TDP unlike the current reference 480s.

thoughts?

>>55457207

Outside of blatant cherry-picking and driver shenanigans.

GP106 core simply does not have ROPs, shader units and memory bandwidth to keep up with a fully enabled GM204 chip when resolution goes up along with AA. GP106's performance is highly depended on the boost speed (1.7Ghz versus 1.1Ghz of GM204)

>>55457308
BIG

>>55456884

Yeah it was good, but the 390 was objectively better. Higher average fps and you weren't taking that 3.5 up the ass and thanking nvidia for it.

>>55457308
Lookin' slick senpai

>>55457222

That's easily within 150W TDP for 6-pin external power envelope unlike the reference 480s.

It remains to me seen if GP106 chip is toasty at its boost speed due to clockspeed and small surface area.

>>55457324
The 390 used twice as much power as the 970 and put out twice as much heat. I actually returned my 390 for a 970 because the 390 was so bad.

it has a bigger cooler than the 480

>>55457345
No shitposting at all, I was a victim too.

One random example: https://community.amd.com/thread/202704

This shit happens to all AMD cards as of now, from 270 to Furies.

>>55457345

Had laptop's 3470 and 5470, and a desktop 4670. Everything worked smooth.
After a 670m and a 760, I feel like trying amd again if aib 480's deliver, and now I know how to circumvent amd's multimonitor issue

>>55457374
Lol.

Lower TDP and better cooler.

Why the fuck did AMD put such a shit cooler on the 480.

>>55457312
Its rops, tmus, and bus compare more favorably to the 980 than the 1070s compared to the 980 ti which keeps up fine with it.

Its cuda count ratio with the 980 is better than the 1070s compared to the 980 ti also. Performance usually scales better at smaller configurations. 1060 if it OCs to 2 or 2.1 ghz should be significantly faster than 980.

>>55457308
i wonder what the smooth spots on every second blade are there for

>>55457430

1060 will become memory bandwidth limited by its 192-bit bus. There's a reason why it was setup one in the first place.

Nvidia doesn't want their mid-tier cards trumping their high-end stuff through mad overclocking.

>>55457479
I'm worried about that 192 bus.

>>55454973
Oh look, it's exactly what I said in the other thread where people thought there would be a 3GB SKU and the 6GB would cost $299.

It's fucking 6GB only and $249.

Retards don't understand how price points work

>Posting articles on rumor and speculation

A 3GB card in 2016 is ridiculous, why the fuck do you think they literally doubled the VRAM of the 980 and 970 for the 1080 and 1070? They realized that even 4GB is not enough now and it will only get worse as "MUH 4K" gets more popular and pushes texture resolutions through the roof.

>>55457479
The 1070 should be much more limited by its tiny 256 bus but it seemingly isn't. The config doesn't look gimped to me, its in line with what 10 smu pascal should be.

>>55457058
thats the 8gb version you prick

>>55456910
It's in stock in literally every german online store except for amazon

>>55457597
It's sold out everywhere in the US.

All the new cards are sold out everywhere in the US.

>>55457595
4gb version doesn't exist atm.

How long until the non-reference cards come out?

Is the 192-bit bus bottleneck real or is it just memes? After all 1070/80 are 256-bit and they're still doing fine. Will I bottleneck in 1440p with 192-bit bus?

>>55457624
They're all coming out on the 19th this month.

>>55457637
wait for benchmarks

>>55457637
Think of the 1060 just like a 980

If the 980 can do it, the 1060 can

>>55457444
nigga you trippin? they're clearly A E S T H E T I C

If the 1060 is actually available for $250 the only thing AMD is selling this gen will be 470s at $150. You can't just discount gcn for the 4th time and expect to still compete.

>>55457697
I think it's some kind of airflow enhancement desu senpai

Full benchmarks when? Today?

>>55457762
19th

>>55457677
1060 is pretty much 960 performance.

>>55457779
Actually 1060 is 980 performance

What they demonstrated was 2133MHz at 67c.
It can do this. Toms' Hardware demonstrated it.

EVGA has a card for 609.99 with a backplate. Custom cards always carry a price premium until a year or so in, and none are $800 unless you're an idiot and buy from third-party scalpers that buy up and resell all the stock.

>>55457790
You're wrong.

>>55457774
reee

>>55457822
Actually I'm right.

>>55457790
Actually 1060 is 1080 preformance.
