NVIDIA GTX 1060 - Everything You Need to Know!

2016-07-11
hey what's going everybody I work here once again on Tech Odom are you guys might have wondered why we've had so maid is kind of the same videos well the reason is is that we have been moving with no computer access but we are back and even though we're a little bit late we know there's still lots of our fans out there who want to check out the founders edition gtx 1060 from the folks over at nvidia now this is basically their brand new entry-level card guaranteed you guys know to fight against that 480 so with that said though let's check out some basic specs how big the card is and uh hmm what it looks like yeah so you guys can see right off the bat this is a Founders edition card it has all of their standard cooling and all that good stuff featuring a single fan and a single 6 pin power connector not power requirements in this card are extremely extremely low all you need is 120 watts of power to power this car so that's really amazing very low power consumption I'm sure we're going to see an aftermarket models we're going to see a lot of different stuff now as far as the back panel goes you guys can see there is no great shield in the back of this but there's no sharp parts either so it's kind of a mixed toss-up you don't get that great shield but then again you don't get your hands all cutting you up either which is a good thing I hate being cut by the back of a video card if you've ever got it done to yourself and know what I'm talking about as far as CUDA cores go this unit comes to 1280 CUDA cores and like I said is geared totally for the entry-level market now as far as the connections go we're seeing the same setup that we saw on a 1080 and the 1070 we have a single DVID connector a single HDMI connector and then we have three display boards so that's what the card looks like and the limited amount of specs the world.i to talk to you with right now but as far as the card sizing in its size it at 10 inches long by 4 inches high by a dual slot design also later this month for you people out there I've seen it before in videos VR funhouse will be available for everybody download and buy later this month so if you don't those people that's totally into VR stick around cuz funhouse is coming on some of the higher-end cards like the 1080 and the 1070 we saw there were some cards out there that had gddr5 ex-member and them and some had just standard GDR five this card has six gigabytes of just standard gddr5 memory now the base clock speed we're not quite sure because we haven't stuck in the system yet but the clock speed that they're saying is the boots is at 1.7 gigahertz and for card that's coming to market for the founders is at $299 that's pretty damn kick-ass plus we're going to see there's going to be a bunch of ditions outside of the founders Edition coming to the market starting at about two hundred and forty nine dollars so this is definitely going to be crushing in on the 480 and coming for your budget money now $299 I do admit it is slightly higher than you're seeing on the AMD side of things but you're also seeing kind of a difference in memory as well they have a four gigabyte and an eight gigabyte version of cards and right now there's no six gigabyte version so that makes the 1060 a very very interesting animal all in itself another thing to take note of both of the previous cards the 1080 and the 1070 were both based on GP 104 this is actually based on a brand new Pascal chipset called GP 106 another really big thing that Nvidia is touting big-time about the 1060 is the ability to overclock this card to 2 gigahertz without a problem at all and we're hoping that when this card gets released on July 19th that we'll be able to bring that to you and that this card will be able to do that and if so that's going to be pretty amazing you guys know it was kind of rolling the dice on the 10 7 10 8 depending on which cards you got if you could actually do that we only saw one card out of all the cards that we actually tested that did that so if all the 10secs you're going to do this out of the box that's going to be some pretty bad ass stuff so pretty much folks at the end of the day this is what this card is it's supposed to be 980 level performance but only with a power draw of 120 watts and with the price tag being under $300 for the founders Edition and $249 for companies like MSI and all the rest that's going to be a very very interesting thing to see all these scores and where it fits in I'm Miller you guys been watching teka tomorrow this is the brand new NVIDIA GTX 1060 scores coming very soon so stay tuned
