10 series where nvidia peaked and made a technical marvel honestly!

It is incredible how the 10 series managed to hold up so well compared to the cards we have now on the market. They were quite ahead of their time.

These Founder cards are so great looking. Especially the 700 - 10 Series. I love these cards, they have such a unique design and I honestly really love blower style cards, they just seem so interesting to me for some reason. In 2017 I really wanted a founders GTX 1070, but never got the chance to get one. Maybe one day when they will be like 50 bucks, I might just get one for the looks.

I had a 1070 FE and it was fantastic for many years. They look awesome for sure. Replaced that one with a 1080ti for another few years until I just upgraded further about a month ago. Love Pascal so much!

Beautiful card, love the FE models of the 10 series. Even the little 1060, nice find :)

1060-1080ti definitely got their moneys worth. I know of a couple who sold their cards for huge profit after using them for years and upgraded to 30 series for free and then some. Very good cards that still hold up today.

As always, another wholesome and thoroughly enjoyable video. You know, I'd love to see a "GTX 1060 vs RX480/580 in 2023" in RGHD style. Are you willing to pit those two GPUs on a one on one?

My gf still has this card in her personal mini itx build. Not the founders but the Aorus edition. That card is a beast, overclocked by default and oc a little more by me and even in Hogwarts Legacy remain near silent at 68 to 70 degree. Love that mini build

i still have a tiny GTX 1060 3GB lying around that i bought after your recommendation back then. i've upgraded twice since then, but never sold it off because it wasn't worth that much and i figured it wouldn't hurt to have _something_ available as a backup

Glad to see how well the 1060 is holding up. I helped a friend build a PC for him and his son, had a 1060 laying around so I gifted it to them as a stopgap until the 4070 non-Ti release.

Contrary to 01:21 I picked up a partner GTX 1060 6GB for £210 a few days after launch, and they were readily available on multiple sites for around the £220 price point, significantly undercutting the outgoing GTX 970, which still sat at around £250. The founder cards really were seen as collector pieces, and priced accordingly.

I don't care if blower style cards aren't as practical in the majority of builds, they just look so much cooler

Im following you since you had under 100k subs. I really loved your videos doing benchmark with different hardwares... Keep it up

The memories, great work!

Great video. I love the design of these cards. I have both a 980ti and a 1080ti founder's Edition. I just love the look of them. The 1080ti will likely be in my main rig for some time yet.

i find these kind of videos from you the most entertaining

Motion blur and Depth of Field do have an impact on perf. Whether that's significant depends on the implementation and quality of said effects. Some games have very high quality motion blur, which takes loads of samples, therefore the effect would be a bit demanding.

I always thought founders edition to be the "best" version of the base model of the gpu. Anyhow, I'm surprised you can still use this card on those games you've tried it on those 6gb really does make the difference v.s. 3/4gb gpu variants.

This was a good deal back in 2016. For $250 you got a card as powerful as a GTX 980 with 2GB more vRAM.

Pascal series were a big step and great in terms of performance, efficiency, price and still hold up pretty well. I still run my GTX 1060 6GB, still enough for me. Thanks for the video. :)

Love the content bro keep it up! As a fellow person from the uk i know how amazing cashies is!!!

Back in the day i used to binge watch your gpu benchmark videos and bought the 1060 still a very good card

gotta love the 1060 6gb. back at launch i tested all my old and not so old games at 4k on it, and was amazed to see how well it performed for the price... pascal was so good i immediately upgraded to the 1080ti and what a monster that gpu was...

Upgraded from GTX 770 2GB to 1060 6GB and MAN was that and upgrade! Mind you I'm still at Pascal with my 1070 Ti ;D

This is amazing classic graphics in 2016 . your founder Edtion very special

About time u did a 1060 review, wow, brother, u are rocking lately.

The 1060 6gb was first GPU I purchased when I built my 1st computer. It was a insane upgrade compared to my old laptop!

I’m still running this exact card in my rig paired with a Ryzen 5800x. Love the look of these founders cards

I bought a EVGA hybrid 1080ti for my work rig a few months ago. It keeps up with the 3060ti in my home machine. The 10 series were amazing and such a large leap ahead of the 9 series. We don't see that much anymore.

In my rig I have a EVGA Gefororce GTX 1060 with 6gb Vram and runs like a dream. I bought mine a couple months ago from CEX for £130 with a 2 year warranty. Thank you fro a very informative video.

These founder cards are the best looking cards ever made imo. I finally got my hand on a 980 founders edition and I absolutely love it!

Lovely card! I had tons of fun with it when it came out! It was the "budget" king! - when mid range cards cost 300 euro instead of 600 -.- I bought it for 240 Euro used back then (shortly used). I had the Jetstream edition which looked to good, but after i changed it to the Aorus Xtreme which was an absolute beast of a card! If u have a good cooler the GTX 1060 overclocks like hell. I hated that u cant SLI them. This would have destroyed the market im sure. 6GB Vram where more then enough back then. 2 of those cards would been epic.

Beautiful card, like!

So your the one that bought it off the cash converters website! I noticed it had sold, lol! I did think about buying it for my collection, but decided to leave it for someone else who could put it to more regular use. Nice to see it was listed with the original box and paperwork, looks in great condition as well. I guess you will be moving it on after the benchmarking.

Love these FE cards. My 1070 Founder's Edition (that I haven't had too long) just crapped out and I'm gonna replace it with basically the same thing but this time going up to the Ti. These shroud designs are timeless.

Recently upgraded my 1060 6gb, so I played every game I play now with it. On low settings it was mostly running at around 60 fps, which is why I adore this card. 6 years later and still keeping up, the 10 series was pure value

I LOVE IT !, Star Wars look!

May I suggest you include that project 401 demo in future benchmark videos? :) I believe it may be a good intication about performance in a Unreal Engine 5 title !

Pascal was brilliant when it came out, huge leap over 9 series, the 1060 6GB basically doubled the performance of the 960 while sipping on electricity. Loved my old Zotac 1 fan version which I can assure you makes that blower sound whisper quiet by comparison. Yes I upgraded it but my 1060 is still my fave card because the performance boost I got over my 770 for the £180 I paid for it in 2017 was just awesome, it was a 90 Quid net spend at the end of the day.

UR SO CLOSE TO 500K

500k in a bit huh. congrats.

Pascal series Founders cards looked so cool.

I always thought the 1060 was a great card. Glad to see that it's still capable with more modern titles. I used to have a 1060 3gb. I loved that card. I have since upgraded to the RTX 3060.

i just picked up an EVGA 1060 FTW 6 gb a week ago for $100 nice to see it's still capable in newer games.

You friggin legend!

The king of value! Man i love the pascal generation.

Ah, the 1060, my first-ever GPU I bought with my own money (and a shame that it was a dud from ZOTAC). I bought the cheapest one off B&H half a decade ago for $220 and it had microstuttering issues and I played with that for 2 years before upgrading to a 1660 Ti XC from EVGA. The used market for the 10 series is also wild. I snagged both a 1070 and 1070 Ti for $85.

Great to see how this card is holding up. Would love to see if the RX 580 8GB is still just as good.

My previous card was a Zotac GTX 1070 Mini which I bought in 2018 for around £224. Still have it sitting around my house. It kept me going until September 2021 when I finally managed to secure a 3060 Ti for the normal price.

great video man

Holy cow, I did not even know these existed. If it is quite audible, as you said, you might want to replace the fan, they are available on aliexpress and they do make a difference, if the card already has some mileage on it. Yours looks dust free on the fan thou, so I am not sure it is really worth it. Fun fact: these Nvidia FE fans fit at least some reference AMD cards and seem to make them more quiet. I own a high miles blower style silver rx 470 (xfx?) and the FE nvidia blower fan fit right in and made it significantly more quiet. Love the content, keep it coming, pls.

I had a 1060 3gb and shortly after 6gb version back in 2016 and 2017 but in 2018 i switched to 1440p and 1060 wasn't cutting it for me in AAA games anymore so i upgraded to 1080ti and one year later in late 2019, early 2020, i switched to 2070 which is basically a 1080ti with lower power consumption and access to DLSS and this one served me well until late last year. I remember the 1060 being excellent for 1080p gaming, very low power usage and realiable.

I used to have a 1060. Glad to see that it's still holding up in 2023.

I'm still running the zotac mini 1060 6gb, Mine overclocks really well and I clean it often so it runs cool and loud

I used one for the past 3 years or so and switched to a used 1080ti recently, both great cards

I had a 1060 for about 3 years served me very well, i still keep it on display on my desk for years now and for many years to come

Using a 6 gig 1060 with 4790k, honestly this system's longevity and capabilities been a great help through the tough times :D

The 1070 Ti was the only Pascal card I've ever owned, but man...that thing was a beast. Unfortunately it wasn't the beautiful founder's edition, but rather a Gigabyte Windforce 2X so at the very least thermals weren't ever a huge deal.

I've got a 1080 ti founders and I bought it in 2020. Awesome card and they're pretty

Wow, was not expecting this performance at all.

I have Evga gtx 1060 sc 6g and very happy with it in 2023.

I also never knew that these cards exist in Founders Edition! Something i keep my eye on to find . 🙂

Wonderful video as always. My daily card for EVERYTHING is a GTX 1060 3gb which resides in a HP prebuilt. I just cannot bring myself to upgrade as it does everything I ask of it.

I got one of the inno3d versions of the 1060 6gb back in 2017 and it was a great card, never had any problems with it. I only swapped it out the other month for a MSI 3070 suprim x because the price looked decent (I also had a pretty bad bottleneck with my CPU and wanted to get more out of it)

Im still using it‘s competitor, an RX580 8GB and pretty often, especially with Forza horizon 5, I’m shocked how good this still runs while looking great on my 6 year old mid range PC

My 1060 is still going strong! As of a few months ago its become more of a backup as I’ve upgraded to the 5700xt to hold me over until I can find a fairly priced 6650/xt. Much love for this card as finding this for $100 in the gpu shortage allowed me to build my first rig in quarantine! Even when I eventually get my hands on a 6650 this card will continue to serve as my contingency GPU.

I still have it even if I changed CPU recently from 1600 to 5800X3D. Of all the games I play Edge of Eternity is the most demanding and it still in 1080p does 60-80fps on high settings with FSR enabled. With a card like that I might wait a little more and avoid being ripped off. I remember buying this card right when crypto madness was starting to hit. It was the last piece in the last store available at a decent price. I didn't know I made the best deal of my life back then.

I used to have a ton of these when I was mining Ethereum back in 2017, great cards

back in the when this card launched wd a 6gb vram.. was massive for me. times have changed so much

My GTX 1060 FE after many years started reaching 87°C and counting while gaming. Opening up i was surprised how much dust collected in the fan and heatsink. After a dusting and respaste back to quieter lower temps. So many older game titles yet to play, i haven't been pushed or yearn to upgrade to higher spec just yet.

I just switch from this a couple months ago to a 3060 TI. I love the founders edition shrouds so I was able to find one on eBay for a really cheap price. It's a really solid card still if you don't mind playing at lower settings

I'd love to see this card compared side by side with a 1660 as they are both 120W TDP cards and 6GB. I'd also LOVE to see this card modded with a 1660 (single fan) heatsink and fan setup to shorten the overall card length and see what it does to the temps/performance.

I got the EVGA SC second hand...Piece of history

still on a 1060 6GB myself (Inno3D iChill X3) and it still runs most of the games i play at max tilt while remaining cool

Not only did that NPC in cyberpunk fall over, but they got ran over too! must have been having a really bad day :D

I have a 1060 in my laptop and for on the go gaming with a 15in 1080p screen the card still holds up well especially using FSR

still using a 1060 6gb variant from zotac :), it was so funny when i did upgrade from a r9 270x (That one is a monster, in size) to 1060 (tiny 2 fan cooler), again comapared to that r9 its so tiny :), i love it

I had a Palit 1060 6gb which I upgraded to a 3070 Ti and even though it's the cheapest model of the 1060 series it still performs really well today even after 6 years I had it for. Makes you think how good the 1000 series holds up

I missed my GTx 1060 6GB, thankfully its already find safe places in my nephew PC. And I remember there is another variant of it equipped with GDDR5X VRAM.

i am amazed didn't try the titanic demo on this since said wanted to push the gpu eheh, on my 1080ti with cinematic mode it brings it to its knees its still exploreable just like under 15 ~ 20 fps lmao

Dont get me wrong having high end gear and cranking settings to max with great fps is cool and all. But something about mid range gaming and tweaking for more fps on gear that costs half the price is what really makes me smile in this hobby.

I bought an MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G back in 2016. Ah, good times those were. Good times.

I currently have a 1080ti FE i love it execpt the temps

proud owner for a founders 1080ti and 1070ti , been thinking about getting a founders 970 which is another all time favorite gpu ive owned through the years ive been building and configuring pcs as a hobby

Wayback when I only play in a laptop with a 840m gpu, having a pc with a 1060 was my dream. Just 3 years ago I built my first pc with a 2070super. I might get a 1060fe one day to display it on my shelf, that card still has its place in my heart. 😁

Still rocking my 1060 6gb laptop 🔥

Its a real shame that blower cards are so hot and loud because they look so good

my gtx 1080 that i got for christmas is an absolute beast, it will run anything on max settings as far as you have the fan speed high enough

Still using my GTX 1080 modified with Raijintek Morpheous II Core black cooler. Along with this is my 4790K CPU. This combo plays very good on everything I play at 1080p. I am still holding off upgrades until we get more deeper into GPU demanding titles.

Mine died sadly, never was sad about a piece of electronic, but this one was like a companion, good bye friend

Would be interesting to see how the GTX 980 is holding up in comparison. They were always very close back in the day.

1070 Ti from zotac is still my fever dream up to today, also i have dissasembled GTX 770 Founders edition.

still a beauty!

Interesting, in Sons of the Forest the results are much better with that card as the 1080p resolution. My friend is playing it with constant 60 frames (he said it)

I bought my inno3D 1060 6Gb mini new in 2016 for 230€... and use it up today. Last games were MSFS2020 and Days Gone which look and run quite beautifully.

My first gpu was a 1060, served me very well

Still looks beautiful

This was my first graphics card ever in 2015. Unfortunately it got water damaged because there was no back plate to protect it... but i moved on to better things. To an RTX 2080 FE, now im on a 4080 FE.

On one hand it's pretty nice to see my 6.5 years old mid range gpu still holding up in most titles. In worst case scenarios like a plague tale requiem you have to settle for 30fps at low settings. If I were to use my 2004 6600 gt in 2010 I'm not even sure it would have been capable of running HD youtube videos smoothly, let alone video games of that era. On the other hand, it used to be exciting to build low to mid range PC and being able to double performance every two years on the cheap. Obviously you can't have your cake and eat it and I'm happy with long lasting PC components now that I have more expensive hobbies.

actually runs really good to
