well the "performance per dollar" argument is quite up for debate still....
no debate, at 50% more price it needs 50% more performance. It's simply not going to happen. So performance per dollar is not going to be the 1060's thing, not unless for some reason the vendors don't pull a 1070/1080 and actually release it at 249$ and it somehow comes in 25% faster overall. Still not going to happen.

sure if you ignore the 4GB 480 and ONLY compare to the 8GB variant and you can somehow find one at the 249$ price...then it will have better performance per dollar... but ignoring the 199$ 4GB variant is stupid and you won't find a 249$ 1060 for some time.

so I'm a go with completely false that the 1060 will have better performance per dollar at launch than the 480.

should still be a decent card, lack of sli hurts a bit though.

I have to say, NVIDIA was very effective with their $249 shell game. Throw that out there as the SUGGESTED price, all while with a wink saying to vendors: "Look what we're charging for the reference model". Everyone then goes around repeating $249 as if it is the actual price.
Basically every product in recent times has "launched" way above MSRP. Then after a while the price stabilizes as stores starts competing with good stockpiles. Somehow "everyone" seems to forget this every time.

Cards above MSRP have always been with us. And the decision to buy has always been the same: do you like what you're getting for the amount you're paying or not?
The rest is just talk.
The silver lining is that, unlike the 1070 and 1080, the 1060 actually has competition and that should keep the price in check.

dude we already showed the 480 at EXACT MSRP COSTS for sale everywhere. So FALSE



pretty much sums up everything you've said in this thread.

Availability of RX 480 isn't that great either, especially the custom versions that everyone wants.

Yeah,
RX 480 launched earlier than GTX 1060 still suffer from "low-supply" pricing
doesn't that make GTX 1060 also go through that pricing phase too right after launch?


That's not true.

because?

As mentioned, $239 vs $249.

you comparing AMD reference card pricing? ok
funny things is, you comparing AMD reference card price versus Nvidia retail card
Nvidia reference card priced at 299, mind you

But its not. At these prices the GTX 1060 is being released to go head to head with the RX 480. It current is sitting right at 25% more for each of the variants but Nvidia's own chart "claims" a 15% performance improvement. To me, unless the cart was under estimating the card and everything will fall in line; or they are just charging more because they can which is kinda a dick move.

MSRP
RX480 vs. GTX 1060 =
$199 vs. $249 = 25% price premium
$239 vs. $300 = 26% price premium

I expected a higher MSRP. By pricing it in the 480 custom (the only 480s worth the money) ballpark, NVidia clearly wants to spoil AMD's party in the only segment where they have a new card. It's worth mentioning that it appears to be also a slightly faster, cooler, more power effcient card but that remains to be seen after the reviews.

5) It will be more expensive in its stock form than oced and much better cooled custom RX480s
That's not true.
because?
- GTX 1060 has a lower TDP and better efficiency, RX 480 can't beat that.
- The difference in MSRP is $10

Yeah,
RX 480 launched earlier than GTX 1060 still suffer from "low-supply" pricing

So. Cal.
faster than ref RX480 at 1080P

Ah, I think spending anything north of $250 today, and it being about 1080p is setting the bar really low!

If the GTX1060 can really keep up to GTX 980 it has to entertain similar frame pacing and 99th percentile @ 1440p. That's where we must expect this product to logically distinguish itself. It should provide great 1440p for those who have or intend to buy into 1440p G-Sync panels.

Absolutely! There is no $249 GTX 1060 and there won't be. This whole tactic by Nvidia for the 10 series is really annoying, by suggesting that AIB partners sell their better cards for less than the reference!
ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI don't appear to be having anything to do with it.
That said, It looks like a good performing card for $300.

I'll be getting an RX480 partner card and Freesync monitor because I want to support AMD and their push to keep the price/performance down. Nvidia just seem intent on driving it up.

Lol, people bitching over availability of RX480's. At that price ($229), regardless of how many stacks of them were provided, they were gone in an instant. That's why you can't buy them anymore for now. NVIDIA can say it'll be $249 while at the same time selling FE for $299. And people somehow believe GTX 1060 with aftermarket coolers will be cheaper. They behave like GTX 1070/1080 hasn't been released and no one has seen how things work for those...

And, since this is the recent examples of NVIDIA we have to go on, are the AIB's selling at MSRP for 1070 and 1080? Or are they actually selling closer to the FE prices? So yeah...

well the "performance per dollar" argument is quite up for debate still....

Ownerswith freesync Monitors that wouldt want to leave the Card mining when offline, oh, and that 8gb is better than 6, not to mention, as a whole, the 480x is cheaper, and crossfire ready.

Not sure what you're talking about. There's only one 1060 SKU announced today at $249 MSRP. That's the 6GB variant, nothing was said about anything else.

because nvidia card inherently pricier than AMD card, thats make their price even higher

Like every sane person I'm comparing MSRP, not the exclusive founders edition. If you cherry-pick like that then you're awfully biased.

let me get this straight, FE is fancy name for reference card basically, this card freshly minted by Nvidia itself not 3rd party brand cooler gimmick
and I comparing apple to apple comparison, because this two card constructed by AMD/Nvidia itself
so its fair that I comparing their pricing based on what they said
Nvidia = FE(reference) = 299
AMD = reference = 239

and wow, you are really got caught up by "Exclusive FE" thingy, arent you?

No dude, it's the same as Nvidia: you can find them in stock, just not at MSRP.

Not a price tag. It's the Manufacturer SUGGESTED Price. See how that worked out on the 1070's and 1080's? By NVIDIA listing the FE higher, for what will indubitably be an inferior card than AIB models, they have communicated to the AIB vendors where a reasonable price to charge actually is.
Won't really matter after the dust settles. I mean, I bought my 980s in 2014 for $609 a pop and by the time I bought Titan X's in March they could be had for 450 a piece. Pricing will always be higher on launch. We'll see the 1070 pricing get closer to that MSRP soon enough, same for 1080 and 1060.

Well, i guess now its pretty clear that the heatsink is indeed WAY bigger than R480X, and with a lower TDP. I guess this will mostly likely be a fairly quiet blower cooler. No backplat is a bummer though.

When will reviews be avaliable?

Both AMD and Nvidia have somewhat limited supplies which are overpriced at launch.

and wow, you are really got caught up by "Exclusive FE" thingy, arent you?
No, you are just a desperate fanboy trying to make AMD look good.

Founders Edition is an exclusive over the base MSRP. If you compare "apples to apples" it's $239 vs $249, every sane person knows that. End of discussion.
