Nvidia would launch a 3gb 1060 gtx for $ 150

Some important Anglo-Saxon media in the sector have echoed the leak from an Asian source, Benchlife, which states that Nvidia plans to launch a GTX 1060 with 3GB GDDR5 and with fewer CUDA Cores, the goal would be to launch a cheaper version of this graphics card and not to exceed 150 dollars.

GTX 1060 cut for $ 150 possible

Recall that the GTX 1060 based on silicon GP106-400 has about 1, 280 CUDA Cores, 80 TMUs and 48 ROPs, this 'new' GTX 1060 graphic would be based on silicon GP106-300 and would have smaller numbers, 1, 152 CUDA Cores and 74 TMUs, the amount of ROPs would be the same.

With these features the new GTX 1060 3GB GDDR5 silicon based GP106-300 should perform below the 'normal' GTX 1060 and also cost less. The news is surprising and also raises a question . Why would Nvidia launch two different graphics cards with the same name in the mid-range? This looks more like a GTX 1050, it would make much more sense, but we will have to wait and see what the movement of Nvidia will be since the GTX 1050 has not yet been officially announced.

Technical characteristics

The suggested price is 149 dollars for the launch with 3GB of memory, a figure that would be close to that of the RX 470, the AMD option of which we were already able to know some of its characteristics very recently. Both figures are purely speculative because so far they have not given an official price. Waiting to corroborate the veracity of this new graphic (apparently Benchlife is a reliable source), the launch is planned for the middle of August.
