ASUS GTX 1060 6GB STRIX OC Review

Temperatures were measured after 10 minutes of load under three scenarios: Furmark GPU stress test, Unigine Valley looping at the Extreme HD preset and desktop idle. GPU-Z was used to record the maximum temperature, fan profiles were left to their default behaviour.

Delta temperatures are presented below to account for small fluctuations in room temperature, but for all the testing present in this graph the temperature ranged from 21.4 to 23.5 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures are absolutely stellar, in the high 50s for a standard room temperature environment. The cooling solution is over-engineered for this GPU, but that's certainly nothing to complain about.

The hottest part of the card was in the low 50s which is a very safe temperature given this card was going through a Furmark torture test.

    I currently make approximately $6.000-$8.000 on monthly basis doing an online job. Those who are ready to work easy at home work for few h /day from your couch at home and make solid paycheck in the same time… This is a work for you… SELF15.COM

  2. Why isn’t there a GTX 980 in this lineup, seeing as it’s supposedly the 1060’s most comparable card? would have been interesting to see the differences between the two.

  3. performance wise, a stock 1060 is like an overclocked 970

  4. Hi N3XUS. While that may be true. Isn’t a heavily overclocked 970 comparable to a stock 980? I’ve heard elsewhere that the 1060 is around the 980 performance wise. Wondered why there wasn’t one included in the lineup. I would have been interested to see where the 1060 lay in between the two (970 and 980).

  5. The card is phenomenal…. Only problem is the price here in Canada… retailers that have this particular model are charging upwards of $459 to $469… Not enough of a performance boost to replace a RX480 ($309 – $329 Canadian) and to close to a GTX 1070 price wise… (I would just step up to 1070 instead of getting this unit).

  6. Hey! Yes, you’re right a 970 with a nice OC can indeed reach 980 levels of performance.
    You should check out this vid if you’re still curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W7WX6pjL-M

  7. Why on the first screenshot on GTA V, there is 2048 video memory?

  8. this one, or Gigabyte G1 gaming gtx 1060?
    same base and boost clock

  9. I’m sure I answered this question before, maybe it was someone else. Anyway the screenshots are there just to provide the settings we use for benchmarking each game. When these settings screenshots were taken it was a GTX 750 Ti, which has 2GB.

  10. 6-8 bucks? That’s not much mate. Learn to use a comma instead of a decimal point ya scamming cunt
