The NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB Review Comment Thread

SKY how about adding 3dmark Time Spy benchmark as well?

No. Never. I removed 3DMark for GPU reviews long ago and it'll remain consigned to the dustbin forever.

It works well for certain situations but I'll stick to actual in-game testing for GPU reviews.
 
These may be a better value than I thought they were going to be. I had them pegged at between $400 and $450 and thought for the $590 I may as well get the 1070. I reasoned that the 1070 is a good jog faster, is SLI capable and comes with a back plate. Plus I needed a longer card to clear a PSU in a Fractal Nano case. :)

Pardon my ignorance but cant you image your OS, upgrade and revert? That way you are ready to do a fresh install and have win 10 in the bag but until then you can use Win 7?

I guess, but I couldn't find a clear answer on what happens to the old licence. Having paid maybe $50 US in total* for Win XP Pro, Win7 Ultimate & Win8 Pro, I decided just to buy Win 10 when/if there is a compelling reason to make the upgrade, i.e. a game that needs DirectX 12.

* I am going to miss US academic pricing, Office was even cheaper!!
 
For the Vulkan fans, I thought this was interesting.

From Bethesda:

"Does DOOM support asynchronous compute when running on the Vulkan API?
Asynchronous compute is a feature that provides additional performance gains on top of the baseline id Tech 6 Vulkan feature set. Currently asynchronous compute is only supported on AMD GPUs and requires DOOM Vulkan supported drivers to run. We are working with NVIDIA to enable asynchronous compute in Vulkan on NVIDIA GPUs. We hope to have an update soon."

So, having run the mentioned DX12 bench with async on and off on my GTX 1070 card I saw a modest increase in performance with async compute on, about 5%.

Does that mean that the 1060 will see in increase? I don't know. But I can see that the API favours AMD cards and asynchronous compute, which AMD does very well, and has been supporting and pushing for some time now.
