iirc it's les than the difference between an R9 280 and an R9 280X, or a 290 and a 290X. That's not like the step down from GTX 1080 to GTX 1070, or the one from 1070 to 1060. Disingenuous? Maybe, but it's a very minor snip in specs - just 10% less cores. You'd have to be a very naive customer to assume that a GTX 1060 3GB and a GTX 1060 6GB were otherwise identical. Misleading? Only if there was a widespread expectation that the model number of a graphics card guaranteed a particular specification, and that's never been the case (take the GTX 460, for instance, or the many many lower end cards that nvidia served with multiple different architectures).
Fraudulent? Only if they claim it has 1280 shaders when it doesn't - and that's not the case here. It won't be so long until this 3GB variant becomes available, with AIC partner made models starting to emerge in September, says the source.Ĭork圓4 I'd say it's more than just disingenuous, it's dishonest and fraudulent, using the same model name to describe two distinctly different specifications of GPU core is being done with the intention of misleading people, it should be called a 1050 not a 1060 3GB.
Such a price will pit it right into the centre of AMD's RX480 and RX 470 lineup. The spec reduction exercise is obviously Nvidia designing the 3GB variant for its proposed $199 price point. Thus the number of texture mapping units is also reduced from 80 to 72.Įlsewhere, as you can see from the slides, the 3GB variant is a match to its 6GB big brother in specifications and component speeds. Describing this difference in more detail the 6GB card had 1,280 CUDA cores spread across 10 streaming multiprocessors, the 3GB card has 1,152 CUDA cores across 9 streaming multiprocessors. The cards are identical apart from the obvious graphics RAM fitted (evident in their names) and that the cheaper card will have fewer CUDA cores. Now information has come to light from an Nvidia event in China that makes the differences between the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and 3GB versions very clear. As is the case with such early information, things were rather unclear, sources were dubious, and others thought the cut down specs may be representative of a GTX 1050 card, or just plain wrong. There had previously been talk about the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3GB offering cut down specifications, beyond the headlining amount of fitted memory. Earlier rumours, concerning the 3GB version of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, look like they were right.
