Settings used for The Witcher 3
In the heavy-hitting The Witcher 3, the GeForce GTX 1060 is able to push out 78 average FPS at 1080p, equaling the performance of the GTX 980 and coming in 20% faster than the GXT 970. Obviously the GTX 1070 has a strong lead (28%). AMD's Radeon RX 480 falls 11% back in our testing.
Increasing the resolution, I was able to eek out just over 50 FPS on the GeForce GX 1060. Performance comparisons to the GTX 980 remain the same, though the Radeon RX 480 is able to creep in on GP106's territory and ends up just 4% slower than the GTX 1060.

AMD victim marketing has been
AMD victim marketing has been strong in the last few years. A lot of people got fooled.
So, I’d love to buy a 1060
So, I’d love to buy a 1060 Founder’s edition, but the buttons son the nvidia website that say “Buy Now” are dead.
So what’s the story? They all gone, or not actually available to buy yet?
Why do the other editions all look so ugly? My faves have been ASUS in the past and they all look sharp, not dorky.
Thx, wp
They are being bought faster
They are being bought faster than Nvidia can produce them. At leasts thats what Nvidia claim. It could be artificial scarcity too.
