In this video, we're putting a GTX 1060 to the test to see how it performs in modern games at 1080p resolution. With a release date of 2016, the GTX 1060 is considered a mid-range GPU, but can it still handle the latest games in 2023? We'll be running a variety of popular titles at maximum settings to see how this GPU holds up. We'll also discuss whether or not upgrading to a newer, high-end GPU is necessary for gaming in 2023. So, if you're curious about the performance of an older GPU in modern games, be sure to watch this video!

Nice review of the 1060. I totally agree with the video argument, i bought an Rx 570 about a month and im really happy with its performance. Playing doom eternal all on high no issue, a bit of uncharted 4 same there, a mix of high and med and good to go. A lot of pubg with friends and no issue at all, every on low in this game except AA and textures wich are on medium, but the card manage to give 100 fps most of the time so nice there. 1080p doesn't really need that much graphic power to render, specially if we dont mind lowing to mid some settings.

Hey Alan, thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video and share your experience with the RX 570. I'm glad to hear that you're happy with its performance and able to play some of your favorite games without any issues. That's great to hear! By the way, I have an exciting upcoming video for you. I'll be testing a GTX 1070 and exploring some artifacting issues during gameplay. I'm hoping to provide a diagnosis and repair for these problems, so stay tuned for that. Thanks again for your support, Alan!

I have been impressed with the 1060 and i recently got a 1070 for super cheap that i recently made a video about. Both cards do great even though there a little older, but some games are getting a little to much for them. There is still a lot of games you can happily play on them and fully enjoy. Thanks you for watching I am glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment.

​@@RatchetBuildzHELLO 1 year later I'm Bulding an PC from my old parts..... And I'm telling you.... This card has GOT to be older and GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 1060 worse at gaming then the MSI NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti Power Edition 2GB GDDR5 Twin Frozr IV Graphics Card. Right? Compared too the GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 1060

Nice video, i own a Asus Dual OC GTX 1060 6GB and it still can deliver on older titles like Shadow of the Tomb Raider which is a 2018 game. I would love to watch a part 2 of this testings maybe on some more modern games like Dead Space Remake, RE4 Remake, Remnant 2, Assassin's Creed, Lords of the Fallen, The Matrix Awakens, Diablo 4 etc.

Thanks for the video. Clearly still a capable card. My friend's upgrading his PC and has offered me his 1060 for MYR200 or about GBP35/USD40, which is an absolute steal if you're living in the UK/US, but for context my monthly salary is only about RM2,200. I'll probably take him up on his offer since I've been wanting to get something better than the 750Ti I've been running on for the past four or five years. However, I am a bit concerned about how much longer the 1060 has left before it dies.

The GTX 1060 is an excellent graphics card, and I recently acquired a GTX 1070 for just $80 here in the United States. I believe the GTX 1060 will also be a worthwhile investment, considering its price. However, its performance will depend on the games you play. If you're not playing the latest AAA titles, you should still be satisfied with its capabilities. The only potential limitation for older cards like the GTX 1060 is the increasing demand for more VRAM in newer games at this time. Nevertheless, it's worth noting that many of these older cards are still receiving driver updates, which is a positive sign. In my opinion, the GTX 1060 should still have a few more years of life left, depending on the games you're trying to play, as I mentioned earlier. Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Don't forget to subscribe! I'll be sharing more PC gaming content soon, featuring my budget rig. It's undergoing a slight upgrade, and I'm excited to see how it performs compared to last time.

I'm using ASUS GTX 1060 3Gb for plaing WoT with Ultra graphics (~100 FPS). I bought it for 6000 rubles (~85 USD) 3 weeks ago and that's enought for me. If you don't need to play all new games with high settings you don't need to buy very expensive graphic card. Yes, I'm gonna change it to card with more VRAM, but after a year I think. From Russia with love!

Thanks for the support, Денис Пистолетов! Your use case is a great example of only upgrading when needed. I've been testing a GTX 1070 that I plan on making a video about next, and some spoilers: I've been playing the new Hogwarts Legacy game for days on it, pushing it. Don't get me wrong, I'm only running medium settings with motion blur off, but it holds the 60 fps with an occasional hitch now and then, mostly when loading in big cut scenes with a lot of characters in one frame. But overall, it's been pleasantly playable. Thanks again for your comment.

You had a steal. I've recently purchased a 3060ti for 470 gbp and compared to the 1060gb (270gbp) I had it's a ball ache. Constantly have to fiddle with settings in 4k and even in lower res for ray tracing when playing every game yet the 1060 in 1080p, was flawless. Still the best value for money in a card I've ever had.

If you're upgrading specifically for VR, it's important to consider the requirements of the game you plan to run. While some users have managed to use the GTX 1070 or 1080 GPUs for VR, I would recommend considering options like a used RTX 2070 Super or 2080. These cards can provide better performance, and purchasing them used can offer a more favorable price point.Thanks for watching and for your comment. I hope you're able to get your VR setup working smoothly, and please do let me know which option you decide to go with. I'm interested to hear about your experience.

The lifespan of the GTX 1060 can vary depending on the game you're trying to run. Some modern games may run on it, but only at very low settings, which could negatively impact the gaming experience. I would recommend a 6GB model with GDDR5 memory instead. However, in my opinion, time is slowly running out for the 10 series of graphics cards.

@RatchetBuildz Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your suggestion and for watching the video. I appreciate your support! However, I prefer to play on my PC. The 40 FPS performance is just a temporary dip in the first loading of the game, as the FPS quickly evened out to 60-70 FPS throughout the rest of the game play. Moreover, the performance on PC can be improved by upgrading hardware or tweaking the settings further. I enjoy the flexibility and customization that a PC gaming setup offers.
