Overclocking results were standard-fare for a GTX 1060 and only a few MHz higher than what we achieved on the Founders Edition. Certainly there's no speed binning or cherry picking going on with this SKU which more firmly cements the conclusion that there's no need to buy the more expensive STRIX OC variant when you can easily overclock the standard STRIX to the same levels.
Any variance between the two would be down to random silicon variation. The effective peak clock speed is just shy of 2.1GHz, a highly impressive number.
The ASUS averaged 14731 points in 3DMark compared to 14290 for the Founders Edition in its overclocked state. The combination of the extra few MHz and absence of thermal throttling explains that difference.

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.
performance wise, a stock 1060 is like an overclocked 970
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).
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).
Hey! Yes, you’re right a 970 with a nice OC can indeed reach 980 levels of performance.

Why on the first screenshot on GTA V, there is 2048 video memory?
this one, or Gigabyte G1 gaming gtx 1060?
same base and boost clock
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.
6-8 bucks? That’s not much mate. Learn to use a comma instead of a decimal point ya scamming cunt
