3DMark and Unigine Heaven
Now that we have taken a look at our gaming tests using our Frame Rating metrics and testing methods, we are including a set of tests from more standard benchmarks like Unigine Heaven and the new 3DMark benchmark.
I consider these tests to be somewhat of a "best case" for all the cards in our comparison. We aren't using our frame capture system, we aren't measuring frame latency, nothing like that; I think this should give you an idea of graphics performance if each vendor had the best result for each game.
In both Fire Strike Extreme and Fire Strike Ultra, the GTX 1060 is outperforming the Radeon RX 480 by 12% and 9.5%, respectively. Performance does rest slightly behind that of the GTX 980 (by about 5%) but for a $249 product, GP106 is impressive.
I recently wrote about the new 3DMark Time Spy test last week, the first to integrate DX12 and Asynchronous Compute, from Futuremark. In this case, the RX 480 is much more competitive, coming within 2.5% of the GTX 1060. We also see the GTX 980 and GTX 1060 swap places – the GP106 is now a slight 1.2% ahead.
In Unigine Heaven, the GTX 1060 and the GTX 980 are basically producing identical performance results and we find the GTX 1060 is 21% faster than the RX 480.
Oh how you convenietly left
Oh how you convenietly left out RX480 4GB for 199$ out of whole review lol.
Because guess what: 1060 for 270-280$ is tough sell against 480 gor 199$ thats only slightly slower and with much much better future outlook *khm* Doom *khm*
How is 4GB of memory a better
How is 4GB of memory a better futureproof outlook than 6 GB of memory?
%10 up or down makes no
%10 up or down makes no difference in real life gaming. amd being broke is the reason we are getting laptop chips for $299 and cpus for $1700.
all the AMD fanboys here are
all the AMD fanboys here are just butt hurt that the 1060 gtx is a superior card to the rx 480 thats why they feel the need to troll this article lol
Why AMD sucks?
rx480 die
Why AMD sucks?
rx480 die size: 232 mm²
gtx1060 die size: 200 mm²
and yet, 1060 is beating 480,
rx480 tflops: 5.1 TFLOPS
gtx1060 tflops: 3.85 TFLOPS
so yea, AMD is just throwing power in air with not optimizing arhitecture, becouse they are fucking sitting on there ass’s and not doing there job, so now nvidia is guilty for that, yea right AMD fun boys -.-
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.
