![]() Courtesy of the new Vulkan patch, I can confirm that Doom absolutely flies on this board. However, cards like this are arguably more about the potential for tweaking thanks to features like high-quality custom cooling and software tools than the modest bump. If that doesn't sound like much, it isn't. What makes this particular version special is that you get an extra 100 MHz on top of its base clock speed, plus a maximum boost clock speed of 1,809MHz. When it first came out, this particular card was quite pricey compared to other versions out there, but thanks to today's great GPU crisis, most retailers have leveled their GTX 1060 stock prices down to the same level - in this case, around £380 or $600. Say hello to the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Gaming X. ![]() Fortunately, we have one such 6GB card on test to show us what it's capable of. As you can see from our guide to the best graphics cards, you should really be looking at the 6GB version if you want something to rival the GTX 1070 at resolutions beyond 1080p, as there are plenty of cheaper cards, namely the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti, that do 1080p just as well as the 3GB GTX 1060 without you having to spend almost £300 for the privilege. Or at least the 6GB version of Nvidia's card is, as you'll also find lesser 3GB variants on sale as well.ģGB models have the same basic DNA as 6GB GTX 1060s, but they have slightly lower clock speeds and fewer cores, meaning performance won't be as good as their 6GB counterparts. Indeed, we wouldn't really recommend the 3GB GTX 1060, if only in the name of future-proofing yourself against the ever increasing memory requirements of the latest games. ![]() The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 is Nvidia's new mid-range contender, chasing the coat tails of its more powerful big brother, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 and rubbing shoulders with the AMD Radeon RX 580 for 2560x1440 gaming goodness.
