Possible new variant of geforce gtx 1060 with gddr5x memories

PC gamers can no longer wait to see what Nvidia does to replace the GeForce GTX 1060, with Turing. However, it seems that it will still take us a while to see the successor to the GeForce GTX 1060 arrive on the market.

Possible GeForce GTX 1060 with GDDR5X memories and based on GP104 silicon

VideoCardz sources in Gigabyte have reported that a new GeForce GTX 1060 with GDDR5X memory is on the way. That could make it the fifth variant of the GTX 1060, although some of them were only released in China. At the heart of the new GTX 1060 will be a trimmed GP104 GPU, the GPU that the GTX 1080 is based on. VideoCardz notes that GTX 1060 cards based on this GPU have been rumored for some time, detected in software drivers, but So far no models based on this SKU have been seen.

This new GTX 1060 is believed to be a model exclusive to China, where the GTX 1060 is very popular with internet café owners. It is interesting to see Nvidia partners preparing a new GeForce GTX 1060, while the rumors are mixed with an AMD Radeon RX 590 based on Polaris 30 and manufactured at 12nm. At launch, the GTX 1060 and RX 480 were close competitors, so it could be that Nvidia doesn't want to fall behind in this volume segment, at least in China.

This GeForce GTX 1060 with GDDR5X memories would achieve higher bandwidth, and it will surely come with higher clocks to increase its processing power. It may be a good way to stand up to the new AMD Radeon RX 590.
