The NVIDIA GTX 1060 launched in many variations, including the GTX 1060 6GB, 3GB, 5GB, 6GB 9Gbps, GDDR5X model, laptop model, and maybe some that we're forgetting. This was easily the most SKU-heavy card NVIDIA has made in recent history. The GTX 1060 also remains among the most popular video cards in use even today, as evidenced by Steam's Hardware Survey. Our GTX 1060 revisit runs benchmarks from our 2021 test suite to evaluate how the card performs today, potentially useful for buyers of used GPUs or for those trying to determine whether it's time to upgrade. You'll get a good look at how the 1060 does today vs. the RTX 3060, 2060, AMD RX 6800 & 5700 XT, the 3070, and used options, like the GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti.
