Nvidia is repairing the last details for the launch of a new graphics card with Pacal architecture. The new GeForce GTX 1060 will arrive to offer a solution based on the promising new architecture with a contained price.

GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of memory and a 192-bit bus only

Mid-range cards always present a memory dilemma, a GeForce GTX 1060 with 4 GB of video memory could fall short in performance while a version with 8 GB seems obviously excessive and will only make the price more expensive. product in an unnecessary way. In this situation, Nvidia would have decided to provide the GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB of graphics memory to offer an excellent compromise. However, the decision to mount 6 GB has a rather important consequence and that is that you need to mount a 192-bit bus.

The GeForce GTX 1060 will arrive with a new Pascal GP106 GPU, a 192-bit bus and 6 GB of memory for a contained production cost that allows it to offer a very competitive price and performance product. This card will come to compete with the AMD Radeon RX 480 with its Polaris Ellesmere GPU and a 256-bit bus attached to 4 GB or 8 GB of memory depending on the version, the AMD card will have a notable advantage by having a greater width bandwidth thanks to a wider bus, something that could give you a noticeable advantage over the Nvidia solution.

Recall that the AMD Radeon RX 480 has an official price of $ 199 so we could see it in the Spanish market from around 230 euros, a scandalous price for a card that promises superior performance than the GeForce GTX 980.
