all right Tech fans check it out we all know that many people out there have a GTX 1060 card inside of their system it was a relatively well priced card it was well received by the market lots of people have it so the question on their mind is welp the brand new r-tx 2060 came out and is this card actually worth taking the time to upgrade between these two cards and I think at the end of the day you'll see that I definitely do think that it's a serious serious good upgrade for your choice so real quick let's take a look at this screen right here where you guys can see the subtle differences between these two cards not a lot of differences here obviously we're gonna have GDR six memory some of the specs are gonna be the same some of the specs are gonna be slightly different obviously we're gonna get all the Nuart CX and DL SS features that are coming with the 2060 that aren't going to be available on the 1060 card you know those are the differences we are going to see the TDP go up a little bit on the RT X 2060 as well so it does take a little bit more power than the previous generation card but overall I think the specs are well within range to make it a suitable upgrade choice now the one thing that you're gonna have to take into consideration on the upgrade is this is that currently there's about $100 difference between the 10 60 and the 2060 card they're actually priced right in between you know the 1070 card and the card below it so it's right there in between a hundred dollar difference between the two what you have to ask yourself into the day though is that are all the games that you're playing right now are they all playing to your satisfaction are you kind of like iffy would you like to get a little bit more performance and have a card that's more future proof than in that case you might want to be looking at the RT X 2060 as an upgrade from the 1060 now real quick let's take a look at our test station we've been using the same one for a long time we have an ASUS Maximus raagh motherboard we have an i7 8700 k the system is liquid cool with the nice liquid cooler we have 32 gigabytes of memory this is ddr4 we have two different hard drives they're both Seagate 2 terabytes these are what we store all the games on as far as our boot drive goes it's a really nice SSD for quick boot times and access and that type of stuff we're also running all the latest drivers that were available the day that we did the testing for this review plus all the latest Windows updates so that everything runs completely correct now with that said though let's jump in now and let's actually see the performance number differences in a head-to-head battle between the GTX 1060 and the new RT X 2060 founders edition let's rock all right Tech fans so check it out all the numbers are almost double that of the GTX 1060 which is I think is a really good thing why I've been saying throughout this entire video while I think it's really a really good upgrade choice because not only do you only pay $100 more for the card you can actually get almost twice the performance plus future proof as all this new stuff comes out not only that this card runs very very cool it runs actually cooler than the GTX 1060 even though it's a car that takes more TDP this particular card you know takes 160 Watts minimum to power it so there's gonna be a little bit more heat generated you think but no with the new fan design and everything this card runs cooler quieter it's a hundred dollars difference from the GTX 1060 at the end of the day it totally whips but on the previous generation card like I said almost double the performance I think it's a serious upgrade choice and at the end of the day if I was going to go out and get a card if I had myself a GTX 1060 I would probably sell that card and upgrade to this or if I was just going out right now thinking hey I want to get a brand new video card I don't want to break the bank and you want some that really works hey this is definitely the choice at 349 dollars I'm networked you've been watching techo tomorrow this was a head-to-head battle between the previous generation gtx 1060 founders edition versus the brand-new RT x 2060 founders edition and you guys all know who wins we'll have a link down below so you want to get one of these cards for yourself or just check out some more information it will be there more stuff coming up so stay tuned to tech of tomorrow
