ASUS GTX 1060 6GB STRIX OC Review

Grand Theft Auto V is an action-adventure game played from either a first-person or third-person view. Players complete missions—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story. Outside of missions, players may freely roam the open world. Composed of the San Andreas open countryside area and the fictional city of Los Santos, the world is much larger in area than earlier entries in the series. It may be fully explored after the game’s beginning without restriction, although story progress unlocks more gameplay content.

GTA V seems to be CPU-bound at 1080p so it's only at 1440p that the ASUS STRIX 1060 stretches its legs a bit over the reference design.

    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.

  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
