NVIDIA this week announced a new version of the GeForce GXT 1060, making it the seventh iteration of this specific GPU model from the company. The GTX 1060 is by far NVIDIA’s best-selling card, commanding almost 14% market share on the Steam Hardware Survey, and the cheapest way to break into 1440p gaming for NVIDIA fans. NVIDIA has also taken it through several redesigns, first basing it on a different die (GP106), then introducing another one based on GP104, then cutting the card down to create the GTX 1060 3GB, and finally launching a new model with 9Gbps GDDR5 memory. As versatile as the card is, it’s always suffered from a memory bandwidth bottleneck. That’s where the new GTX 1060 comes in.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Founders edition (2)

Last week, NVIDIA unveiled their plans for the GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition, a limited run of their custom cooler design that will be eventually replaced by the (arguably) better designed coolers from their partners. The GTX 1060 is the company’s answer to AMD’s Radeon RX 480, launched just a few weeks ago. Aside from the kick-ass Millennium Falcon-like design on the front, the GTX 1060 has a reasonably low price (for AIB cards) set at $249 for a 6GB model, while the Founders Edition you see here will go on sale later this month for $299. Is it enough to run up against Polaris 10? I’m not sure yet. NVIDIA’s always been able to pull out a mid-range surprise when cornered, but this time it’s not exactly an apples to oranges comparison.

Inno3D GTX 1060 leak

While the new generation of graphics cards from NVIDIA, namely the Geforce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, are slowly getting to users around the world, there’s a lot more excitement pent up for their cheaper GPUs, which is where the bulk of the gaming market looks to for their new graphics cards. AMD recently announced the Radeon RX 480 at a recommended price of $199, which is astounding value for money, and NVIDIA needs to have an effective counter to this card. It turns out that they might have one in the form of the upcoming Geforce GTX 1060, but it might not be what everyone is expecting.
