Does 3GB of RAM Bottleneck a GTX 1060 vs 6GB?

2016-09-01
hey what's going on YouTube and tech fans now we've all seen a lot of six gigabyte 1060 cards floating around the market and they had different scores varying between them and now we're actually going to take a look at something different though same card though but with only three gigabytes of RAM or like the ladies say he's just got wee bit of a smaller meter you know but everything pretty much about this card is the same as its six big of my brother's so let's just first jump in you guys can see the box in the content it's not a whole lot of stuff is going on here it's an entry level card you get what you need and that's pretty much it on the top of the card you guys can see there's a single fan with the EVGA logo and obviously you know telling you that it's a 1060 card it's completely black on the bottom you guys can see the PCI slot featuring a single 6 pin power connector and obviously with these cards there's no sli whatsoever like you guys have seen in our previous videos you guys can use a protein low end power supply we were using like a foreign 50 watt power supply and the car was working just fine in our system on the back ok no back plate I know I don't really like that you guys probably don't either but like I said again this is a very entry-level card as far as all the specs and everything I know you guys have seen hundreds of videos on the 1060 all the other specs are the same the only difference between this and it's bigger brother is the amount of RAM one has three gigabytes etdr v one has six goodbye to ddr5 beyond that all the specs are completely identical and in the rear i/o we can see there's a single dual link DVI port three display ports and an HDMI 2.0 port so for those of you wondering hey how does this card size up well as far as how long the card is it's 6.8 inches and it's height is basically 4.3 inches and like usual it features a dual slot design the total power draw the car is 120 watts and NVIDIA recommends that you use a minimum of a foreigner watt power supply out of the box the card features a 1500 and six megahertz base clock and a 1700 eight megahertz boost clock but with our card we were actually seeing the boost speed at 1822 megahertz so that's pretty damn killer for an entry-level car that's only 109 $9.00 so with that said let's jump in really quick let's take a look at our test system for you guys who follow the channel you know we have an i7 6700 K we keep it in turbo mode at 4.4 gigahertz and for the motherboard we have the ads rock Z 170 m OC formula for the memory 16 gigabytes of ddr4 supplied by g.skill and this is their rip jaw and real quick before we rock out to the benchmark song I just want to talk about the temp salon people say I don't ever talk about those but we do you sometimes just don't watch the video you just ask the question but anyways the temps in this card we were running at that 1822 megahertz we were seeing about 80 Celsius on the car now with that said let's rock out to the benchmark song and see what the big difference is between the three gigabyte version and the six gigabyte version it's just a wee amount she said let's rock all right Tech fans so there you guys can see it now the only real caveat I see about the card is it only as a single fan it is running pretty hot at 80 Celsius you know not a whole lot of throttling was totally going on yet but still running at that hot you're not going to be able to get too much more you know overclocking Headroom beyond that for a car that's 199 dollars you guys can see the three gigabyte version it's almost up there with the six gigabyte version so if you're looking to save just a little bit of money get an entry level card you're maybe a person who plays a lot of RPG games you're not totally super ly heavily into the first person shooter stuff this might be the absolute perfect card for you not that saying that doesn't play those first-person shooter games but there are some of the other cards that do play them just like I said a wee bit better I'm Ellie you've been watching Tekken tomorrow like user will have everything down below that like button which hope people Jackie Chan style on and we'll see you guys back here on teka tomorrow so if you like this card hey check it down below you can get more information or you get the cash get that card in hand
