High specification dessert card Colorful iGame GTX1060 Reviews

IT168 evaluation Since June of this year, Nvidia has never let us down, there are continuous products and news about Pascal's new architecture, together with AMD's Polaris new architecture graphics card to give all game fans a rare carnival. In this carnival, the participation of major PC manufacturers and OEM manufacturers is also natural. The Rainbow, which is known for its excellent price/performance ratio, also released a high-profile version of the GTX 1060 OEM at this time, marking the high-performance logo iGame "Flame Ares" series configuration and name, so that people can not focus on this card. on.

   After the dismantling, performance testing, technical analysis and game play trials, Xiaobian thinks that the new dessert card jointly presented by Nvidia and Caihong has been able to smoothly run most of the major games on the market. It has been tested theoretically and practically. The subparts are all comparable to the previous generation of flagship GTX 980. They are the most powerful generation of core strength and performance in past generations of dessert cards, and are a gift given to players by Lao Huang.

   Tips: Graphics evaluation content is always boring, partial professional; so the small establishment of the paging structure. Everyone clicks on the corresponding image to jump to see the content of interest, or you can choose to skip the navigation page to see all the content at once. Do not want to see the evaluation of the students can also be direct Enter Jingdong Mall to buy, now as long as 1699 yuan can bring it home.



Appearance: Steady and reliable heat dissipation with three fan kcal

The official name of this video card is Colorful iGame flaming god of war U-3GD5 GTX1060, which has a complete three-fan large version of the structure, in part to represent it is a high-performance high -definition graphics card.

Random accessories have a driver CD, a manual and warranty card extended to three years, and two power conversion lines.

Kind of materials

In addition to the seemingly reliable three fans, it also has this handsome back panel. Naturally, it is also a thick heat sink.


Conscience interface

In terms of interfaces, the three DP1.4, one HDMI 2.0 and one DVI interface exactly the same as the GTX 1080, multi-screen output is naturally a piece of cake. The one-button overclocking button next to it can easily push the frequency up to 1809Mhz, increasing the performance by about 15%.


This kind of power supply interface is matched with a TDP that does not exceed 140W in overclocking.

6+6 power supply interface, the highest TDP but 140W, as long as it is not too bad power can easily be brought up. Unfortunately, because of the "GTX 1060 Sli strong GTX 1080Ti" situation, Nvidia did not provide it with Sli interface.

Next, Xiao Bian will open it up for everyone to unveil the mystery of this GP106-300 chip and colorful materials.


Dismantling: 8-phase power supply 3G memory reserved for LED lamp pins

After opening the heat dissipation system and wiping off the over-heated grease applied by the original manufacturer, we were able to see the real body of the GP106-300 chip - this chip is exclusively for the 3G memory version of the GTX 1060. Its specifications and features will be described in detail on the next page, and now we continue to look at the internal materials.


Seeing that there is still space, there is a row of solid capacitors that make people look pleasing

Surrounding the chip is six GDDR5 memory chips from Samsung. You can see that there are still blank parts next to it. There should be a higher-standard 6GB version of the motherboard.

Next to the power supply display is a total of 6 + 2 eight-phase power supply, compared to the public version to simply not conscience.


The interface welding is very solid, and the shielding is also very good

The close-up of the rest of the board, the black multi-layered gold PCB is a colorful patent, and the details of the work is also very good.

Looking at the motherboard as a whole, the whole board is full of various components. Although it is a new dessert card at the price of 1000-2000, it does not cut corners and materials. The place where the materials are piled up and the places where the originals are used are a little unambiguous.


Finally give a memory close-up


   Core: GP106 scored a knife is also very powerful

OK, Xiao Bian did not want to do particularly long-term evaluation, let us straight into the theme to see this piece of video card core in the price of 1699 in theory is exactly what it looks like.

   Let's look at the comparison between it and its 6GB version of the notification brother. -- Strict 128 shaders and 8 texture units, while the more core frequency, memory frequency, and bit width remain the same. It can be said that the exit of the 3GB version is more like the welfare of a "mainstream online game player" who does not require a high level of 3A games.

In absolute terms, we can see that the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB's default core frequency reaches a staggering 1506MHz, and the Boost frequency is as high as 1708MHz. This product fully supports DirectX 12 API and asynchronous computing and has a better performance in DX12. The default Pixel Fillrate capability of the GTX 1060 is 75.3Gpiexls/S, and the default Texture Fillrate capability is 113.0Gtexels/S.

Let's take a look at the official architecture chart:

   The Pascal architecture GP106-300 chip consists of the following main parts:

1. TSMC-based 16nm FinFET process.

2. The macro-parallel structure of the dual cells. The 10 SMs are divided into 2 GPCs. Each GPC contains 5 SMs, but a group of SMs cells are cut off.

3, 10 groups of newly designed, including geometry engine, rasterization engine and thread arbitration management mechanism SMs unit. Each SMs unit contains a group of PolyMorph Engines that are responsible for processing geometric tasks. At the same time, they all manage 5 groups of more basic SM units. Each SM unit contains 8 materials and special operation tasks such as convolution, fast Fourier transform. Texture Array for transformations, four parallel secondary thread management mechanisms, and corresponding shared+Unified Cache buffers.

4, GP106 has six 32-bit memory controllers, a total of 192, each 32-bit memory controller contains 8 ROPs units and 256KB of secondary cache, a total of 48 ROPs units and 1.5M secondary cache.

5, Improved version 4.0 PolyMorph Engine, including the Simultaneous Multi-Projection Engine designed for VR, in extreme cases, SMP engine can reduce the geometric rendering workload required by 32 times VR.


   Running points: go with GTX 980

   Before the official start of running points, Xiao Bian preliminarily explained the test platform:


IT168 Test Platform Configuration Motherboard ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 Mark 1 CPU Intel Core i7-4770K Memory Kingston 16 GB DDR3 1866MHz (8GB x 2) Graphics Colorful iGame GTX 1060 (3 GB GDDR5 ) SSD Intel M550 512GB SATA 3 Monitor Dell DEL96E6 (Resolved Rate 2560 × 1440) System Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit Professional Edition Power Antec 750W Gold Power Supply

   The test was performed on the Windows 10 Professional 64-bit operating system with the latest patch package and full DX support. The default resolution of the monitor is 2K (2560×1440). The driver version is the latest, and it is confirmed that it can fully support the GTX 1060. Performance advantages.

For the stability of the test, we completed all the benchmarks by default with BOOST off.

   In the 3DMark test that everyone is very familiar with, Xiao Bian chose 3DMark and the older 3DMark 11 software to test. In all aspects of testing, it showed extremely excellent performance characteristics, and it was almost completely equal to the previous generation flagship GTX 980. (Tests in public and non-overclocked states).


These tests naturally do not reflect the ultimate potential


2899 points, basically enough to reach the threshold of a smooth 4K game, but the quality of the sacrifice is also inevitable - the pursuit of quality, usually open 1080P okay

Look at the score yourself, Xiao Bian does not say it

   Unigine Heaven is a graphics test program launched by a Russian company and is known for its high load and high pressure. Unigine Heaven 4.0 squeezing every performance of the graphics card through almost crazy scenes with several picture quality details, and the results can be quite accurate to reflect the performance of the graphics card under DX11.


2K resolution, limit picture quality test conditions

Extreme image quality


36.7 frames, change for 980 is not so strong



Game Measurements: What Real Dessert Cards Can Play

In the game test, we chose the latest hottest Blizzard stand-alone game "Watching the Pioneer". The Batman: Arkham Knights with excellent quality and drama are the ultimate illusions that represent the MMORPG quality pioneer. 14" to test.

During the testing process, we all increased the picture quality options that can be adjusted in these games to the highest level. During the testing process, Xiao Bian found that all game test frames were much higher than the smooth running 60-frame standard. So Xiao Bian compared to displaying test scores, more is trying to display full-screen shots of these game masterpieces under GTX 1080.


Blizzard's new masterpiece "Watching Pioneer" created a brand new FPS gameplay. Under the rendering of GTX 1060, this near-future alternative world is so real and wonderful - in full-image quality, with a resolution of 2K. Under the circumstances, the game is still stable at 60 frames to run. Overall, it is still very powerful.


2K resolution Changyou just released the latest expansion pack FF14, FF15 must be launched soon is also natural to play


The dark background setting and the level of transcendental quality are the biggest selling points of this Arkham rider. Under the high frame rate and high quality rendering, Gotham’s dark feeling reflects the most vivid expression.



VR test: It is very important that the existing equipment is fully compatible and optimized.

   In fact, before the test, Xiao Bian has been able to determine the test results: After all, Nvidia on the packaging box, on the graphics card, on the drive are clearly and firmly said: Our graphics card, are VR Ready of! Do not believe? Watch screenshots!

In the VR test section, we have chosen a software program called “SteamVR Performance Test” launched by the Steam platform. This program can fully detect the user's PC performance and test whether the PC can support stable and smooth operation of the VR device. The SteamVR performance test will evaluate the rendering power of the player's computer through a two-minute "Aperture Tech Robot Repair VR Show" produced by Valve. After collecting the relevant data, it will determine if the system the player is using can be maintained at a frame rate of 90 fps and the visual fidelity of the VR content can be tuned to the recommended level.


SteamVR is now the most convenient way for PC to experience VR


Test shots, this small scene is built by Valve, they are representative of Counter-Strike, DOTA 2, etc.


Throughout the pass line, it has become the most cost-effective graphics card for VR devices such as smooth running VIVE.



Summary: high-performance dessert card N card for everyone's welfare

Colorful rainbow this GTX 1060 ah. . . Excited! Beyond the public version of a lot of power and capacitor design, brings better performance and more stable cooling - even in an open test platform, Xiao Bian can feel it under the pressure of the three fans it Compared with the public card, the heat dissipation performance is greatly improved. Even if it is running a harsh test, it is not hot enough to be burned.


U.S. official website, 啥 is more common belief in the public version also have 299 knife 嘞

As far as the graphics card itself is concerned, this colorful flame god of war U-3GD5 GTX1060 TOP can easily roll out all the graphics cards including the “old yellow conscience” GTX 965. The double improvement of the process and architecture has made the performance of the graphics card leapfrogging to the extent that people can not help but admire, and Chonghong excellent workmanship and efforts in the power supply let this core can play perfectly, to a higher level.


Finally put an IGAME Logo that I think is not ugly yet

Audience friends, you have seen this place. Really do not consider spending 1699 together to feel the sincerity of Lao Huang and Rainbow. Poke here to direct Jingdong self- linked friends.
