Đánh giá gigabyte gtx 1060 windforce oc 6gb năm 2024

In this article we'll review the G1 GAMING GeForce GTX 1060 from Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060. This products sits in the mainstream performance bracket, yet oozes class and cooling. with a 279 USD pricetag. It is 20 bucks cheaper compared to the founders edition, but comes factory overclocked on that custom PCB fitted with a WindForce 2X cooler,Back-plate and even some RGB lighting options. Obviously this is a 6GB model as well. The new GeForce GTX 1060 is once again based on Pascal, fabbed at a 16 nm node with fins baby. As it turns out, the smaller 16 nm FinFET fabrication process works out really well for Nvidia. The 1070 and 1080 have been a high clocked success story ever since their launch. Meanwhile the GeForce GTX 1060 really wasn't supposed to be launched already. But you guys can thank AMD for that, the Radeon RX 480 release definitely made some eye-browses frown at team green. Originally the 1060 was planned and due for release at the end of the summer, however again... 16 nm works out well for Nvidia and they very simply moved forward the introduction as starting today you will spot the GTX 1060 in the stores. Again high clocks, again nice memory configurations (8 GHz effective BTW) and again a product series that will be massively interesting.

It's never been a busier Summer, but hey, we aim to please and as such today we offer a review on the reference card from Nvdia. Nvidia definitely stepped it up as cooling wise we do not see the cheaper plastic designs, the 1060 will receive something similar to the 1070/1080 founder edition coolers as well. The GeForce GTX 1060 might have the GP106 GPU housed on it's PCB. Where the GeForce GTX 1080 has 2,560 shader processors and the GeForce GTX 1070 with its 1,920 shader processors, the GeForce GTX 1060 has 1,280 of them. This means it is has 10 SMs active (10 streaming multi-processors x (2x64) 128 shader cores). The cards will be equipped with properly fast memory as well, you can choose either a 3 GB or 6 GB model, though we strongly recommend the 6 GB models to be a bit more future proof. That memory is tied towards a 192-bit wide bus locked in at 2,000 MHz which is 8 GHz (GDDR5-effective) at a memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s.

• GeForce GTX 1080 offers just over 9 TFLOP/s Single-precision floating point performance
• GeForce GTX 1070 offers just over 6 TFLOP/s Single-precision floating point performance
• GeForce GTX 1060 offers just over 4 TFLOP/s Single-precision floating point performance

If you combine the specs you can already tell that the 1060 will be a terrific card in the 1080P domain, and even at monitor resolutions of 2560x1440 this card should hold up really well with GTA-V, Total War Warhammer, The Division and many other game hip 'n trendy titles.

In this review we'll have a look at the G1 GAMING edition from Gigtabyte. The graphics card has been fitted with a powerful dual-slot Windforce dual-fan cooler. The temperature of this card will sit at the 70 degrees C marker under full load, and is very silent. Next to that the card has been factory tweaked for you to a boost clock of 1810 MHz. The memory is clocked reference at 8 Gbps. The card is fitted with a 8-pin power connector and yes, we'll pass the 2.1 GHz marker when we tweak this feisty unit. Gigabyte as well also offers some RGB LED lighting at the top logo as well as offering a back-plate. With a price-tag of roughly 279 USD. Let's get this review started, but not before you have had a chance to actually look at the card of course.

Running in OC Mode, the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB is, on average, about six percent faster than a Founders Edition card. In Hitman, our results show a bigger lead than normal, suggesting that Nvidia has made some improvements in its latest round of drivers. As we've seen before, with an overclocked GTX 1060 6GB, you're getting pretty much GTX 980 performance now.

Across the six tested titles, the card is also nearly seven percent faster on average than AMD's RX 480 8GB, although most of that advantage comes from the Fallout 4 results. In fact, over the DirectX 11 titles, the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB has a healthy lead of almost 13 percent, but focussing on the DirectX 12 titles you'll see a difference of less than 1 percent on average.

Performance is very strong at 1080p – less demanding games will be consistently above 60fps or more, and the average frame rate in all games is above this. At 1440p, you'll be looking at performance more in the region of 30-60fps with everything cranked up (the ideal range for use with a G-Sync panel, although beware of the cost) and even The Division, with a minimum of 25fps, remains just in the borderline playable territory at this resolution.

The card was boosting to a stable 2,000MHz in OC Mode, dropping slightly to 1,974MHz in Gaming Mode and 1,885MHz in Eco Mode. This latter mode will probably see 1 or 2fps knocked off your average frame rates.

Between the three modes there wasn't really any difference in peak power consumption. Eco Mode would probably consume less on average over time, but not by any significant amount and we're not sure why you'd buy a card like this to drop it to reference speeds. Temperature also remained consistently low across all three modes, with the fan speed barely changing either – as usual, there's really no reason not to just run in OC Mode all the time, which is why we test at these speeds and recommend it for general use. For what it's worth, the fans peaked at 45 percent (around 1,525 RPM) under sustained load and at this speed they're very quiet and unlikely to irritate anyone but the most silence-obsessed enthusiasts.

When overclocked, the card's boost speed jumped to a consistent and impressive 2,114MHz. This time we did observe a slight increase in the fan speed, although again it was a very quiet card overall. Performance improvements were in the region of 8-11 percent, which is pretty decent for less than an hour's work.

Conclusion

Both the custom GTX 1060 6GB cards we've seen so far – the MSI Gaming X and the Asus Strix OC – have been pretty great in most regards, and Gigabyte's G1 Gaming card is another one we can add to that list, and while this isn't really a true price-performance card it does still have the edge on those two competitors on price as well.

You'll get awesome 1080p performance from this card, and 1440p gameplay will be pretty smooth as well. The overclock is meaningful, although it is a shame the memory wasn't tweaked, especially given Gigabyte's claims regarding Tier 1 memory. A backplate, RGB lighting, and bolstered power delivery components make up a well-rounded package, and the card is on par with what we've seen elsewhere for overclocking potential too. Add to that an effective and near-silent cooler that takes care of all critical components and the card starts to look very attractive. The plastic shroud could be a bit higher quality, and it's still not as quiet as MSI's Gaming X card, but then again it's not as tall and you could easily set a custom fan curve here to make it silent.

Nvidia's GTX 1060 6GB isn't going to dominate like the GTX 970 did, but if it is the card for you, then Gigabyte's effort here is a fine example of the more premium end of the scale that doesn't go overboard on the asking price.
