GTX 1060 Specs leak online

Specifications for Nvidia's GTX 1060 have leaked online, offering performance that is above the GTX 970 but below the GTX 980.

This leak backs up previous rumors that the launch of Nvidia's GTX 1060 has been moved up to July 7th, with the GPU hitting stores on July 14th.

This move is likely a response to the release of AMD's RX 480, though if Nvidia's launch has been moved up it is likely that users will experience stock shortages of the GTX 1060, just like Nvidia's other GTX 1000 series GPUs.

Below is a table detailing the known specifications of the GTX 1060, many of which have been calculated using known characteristics of the Nvidia Pascal Architecture.

With the boost clock speeds of 1.7GHz from the above image, we can expect this GPU to have a Single Precision compute performance that is approximately 4.4TFLOPs, which is just under half of the performance of the GTX 1080.

GTX 1080 GTX 1070 GTX 980 GTX 1060 GTX 970 GPU Architecture Pascal Pascal Maxwell Pascal Maxwell Process node 16nm 16nm 28nm 16nm 28nm SP FP Performance 9 TFLOPs 6.5 TFLOPs 4.61 TFLOPs 4.4TFLOPS? 3.9 TFLOPS CUDA Core Count 2560 1920 2048 1280 1664 VRAM Type GDDR5X GDDR5 GDDR5 GDDR5 GDDR5 VRAM Cappacity 8GB 8GB 4GB 6GB 4GB Memory Bus Size 256-bit 256-bit 256-bit - 256-bit Memory Bandwidth 320 GB/s - 224 GB/s - 224GB/s Base clock speed 1607MHz - 1139MHz - 1050MHz Boost clock speed 1733MHz 1600MHz 1240Mhz 1700MHz 1178MHz TDP 180W 150W 165W 120W 148W Power Connection 1x 8-pin 1x8-pin 2x 6-pin 6-pin 2x6-pin PCI Express PCIe 3.0 PCIe 3.0 PCIe 3.0 PCIe 3.0 PCIe 3.0

With a TDP of 120w and performance that is higher than that of a reference GTX 970 we can expect this GPU to be a great competitor to AMD's RX 480 depending on how Nvidia price this new GPU.

Below is a leaked table showing Nvidia's GTX 1060 compared to AMD's RX 480 in a few different scenarios, though these are likely Nvidia's best case scenario" and use a very skewed graph scale.

Early rumors did suggest that the GTX 1060 would have a 192-bit memory, meaning that there may be both 3GB and 6GB variants of this GPU. Right now these specifications have not been officially confirmed by Nvidia.

Looking at the previously leaked images of the GTX 1060 we can see that the PCB of this GPU appears to be shorter than that of a GTX 1080/1070, much shorter than the reference cooler design, making this GPU fairly similar to the RX 480 in terms of PCB design/layout.

You can join the discussion on the Nvidia GTX 1060 on the OC3D Forums.
