1060 is releasing tomorrow and I'm curious about what you are all expecting from it performance wise.
I expect it to trade blows with gtx 980, winning some and losing others. I am also predicting that aib rx 480 oc'd will beat aib 1060 oc'd. stock 1060 will beat stock 480 though. Of course the 1060 will have better power efficiency than 480,that is a given.
In general I think people will be underwhelmed with its performance. I am thinking this because Nvidia is not releasing 1060 reviews from nda until launch day, which is not what they did with 1070/1080, allowing early reviews before release. I also think this because the "nvidia reviewers guide" relied heavily upon maxing out AA in its benchmarks to gimp the 480 performance.
Of course I could be dead wrong tomorrow, and if I am I will seriously consider upgrading to 1060 as opposed to 480 from my current gtx 770.
How many days do you predict until 1060 inventory is essentially zero (as in card pricing skyrocket well beyond msrp)? My guess is on day one or two by the 20th sold out...I won't even consider $300 founder edition as applicable stock bc it would just be unwise to not purchase a 1070 at that price
Also this is my 100th post! had to make it a long one...
