Asus strix gtx 1060 6gb review năm 2024

The release of NVIDIA�s 10-series Pascal-based graphics cards has been one of their strongest demonstrations to date; particularly for the mid-high end which has likely been heightened due to AMD�s delay with their next-gen series. The GTX 1060 has remained a dominating mid-range part within the graphics sector and it goes without saying that any gamer with the intention to play the latest titles maxed out at 1080p would be well-advised to consider such a graphics card.

Today we�ll be reviewing our fifth GTX 1060 by way of the STRIX GTX 1060 OC. This graphics card sits inside the Republic of Gamers (ROG) lineup and therefore has some rather special features which include the renowned DirectCU III cooler bearing a triple fan configuration, Aura RGB lighting, and a substantial factory overclock to both the GPU and memory.

On paper, this graphics card is shaping up to be one of the fastest GTX 1060s on the market. Is it worth your hard-earned cash? Let�s find out!

ROG on their STRIX GTX 1060 OC

ROG Strix GeForce� GTX 1060 gaming graphics cards are packed with exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU III Technology with Patented Wing-Blade Fans for 30% cooler and 3X quieter performance, and Industry-only Auto-Extreme Technology for premium quality and the best reliability. Aura RGB Lighting enables a gaming system personalization and VR-friendly HDMI ports let gamers easily enjoy immersive virtual reality experiences. ROG Strix GeForce� GTX 1060 also has GPU Tweak II with XSplit Gamecaster that provides intuitive performance tweaking and instant gameplay streaming.

The flurry of retail built cards based on NVIDIA's new Pascal GPUs has been hitting us hard at PC Perspective. So much in fact that, coupled with new gaming notebooks, new monitors, new storage and a new church (you should listen to our podcast, really) output has slowed dramatically. How do you write reviews for all of these graphics cards when you don't even know where to start? My answer: blindly pick one and start typing away.

Just after launch day of the GeForce GTX 1060, ASUS sent over the GTX 1060 Turbo 6GB card. Despite the name, the ASUS Turbo line of GTX 10-series graphics cards is the company's most basic, most stock iteration of graphics cards. That isn't necessarily a drawback though – you get reference level performance at the lowest available price and you still get the promises of quality and warranty from ASUS.

With a target MSRP of just $249, does the ASUS GTX 1060 Turbo make the cut for users looking for that perfect mainstream 1080p gaming graphics card? Let's find out.

ASUS GTX 1060 Turbo Specifications

This part is simple enough; if you followed and read our review of the Founders Edition of the GeForce GTX 1060 then you are already familiar with the specs.

Nothing changes with the ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 Turbo 6GB card, the speeds and feeds all remain identical when compared to the launch data. The GTX 1060 is the primary competitor to AMD's Radeon RX 480 8GB and 4GB cards, when available, and with 6GB of GDDR5 memory running at 8 Gbps, 1280 CUDA cores and a 120 watt TDP, NVIDIA's GP106 GPU has a lot offer.

Since the launch of the 6GB version of the GeForce GTX 1060, NVIDIA did take the covers off of the 3GB version that has 128 fewer CUDA cores. That is not germane to the conversation at hand, but its worth pointing out that this card is NOT that.

A Look at the Card

So what kind of graphics card do you get for the MSRP price of the GeForce GTX 1060 these days? Honestly, it's not much to look at.

The black plastic shroud containing the blower fan on the ASUS GTX 1060 Turbo doesn't share any of the design or style of the other ASUS graphics card products, ROG or Strix, as it is built with budget and cost in mind. The silver stripes across the housing are fine, but this is a card that won't stand out at a LAN party in your windowed case.

The back is bare without a plate to hide the PCB or to protect the componentry. The GTX 1060 does not support SLI at all so the lack of the bridge connections is still a bit jarring for me.

Using a full length PCB and full cover shroud, the cooler is able to do the job it needs to do, keeping the GTX 1060 GPU running at around 79C under a full load at stock settings. It's not going to give you the low sound levels of something like the ASUS Strix product line, but it's not too far outside the bounds of something like the RX 480 reference and GTX 1070 Founders Edition.

ASUS has rotated the single 6-pin power connector 180 degrees from standard, so that the retention clip is facing up in a normal ATX system build. While I don't see the need for that rotation on its own, NOT having the clip be located in a way to be interfered with by the cooler housing is a plus.

Display support is different than the standard NVIDIA allotment. ASUS has gone with a single DL DVI connection, two DisplayPort and two full-size HDMI. The idea here is that users can keep an HDMI monitor connected while also connecting an HDMI VR headset like the Rift.

Is a GTX 1060 6gb still good for gaming?

On the gtx 1060 3gb vram, yes. As for the gtx 1060 6gb, it'alright, i wouldn't say outdated tho, however it is getting old. Most new game titles now recommend gpus with atleast 4gb of vram, if your gpu is bellow 4gb of vram then you wont be able to play those game's on some titles.

What is better than GTX 1060 6gb?

The RX 580/590 is slightly more powerful than a GTX 1060, and costs about 185 to 200 dollars. Alternatively, the 1660 is a slight upgrade on the GTX 1060 and is on average 10% faster than the previous generation.

How big is ASUS STRIX 1060 6gb?

Dimensions:11.73 " x 5.28 " x 1.57 " Inch,29.8 x 13.4 x4 Centimeter.

How much power does a GTX 1060 Strix use?

Furmark maximum power is extremely low at 127 watts, which is laughable given ASUS upgraded the card to use an 8-pin power connector instead of the 6-pin on other boards - which would have been plenty for such power draw figures.
