Stock prototype of Nvidia's GTX 1060 Graphics Card which will compete with AMD's RX 480.

DirectX 12 3DMark Time Spy and gaming benchmarks for Nvidia's GTX 1060 take been leaked and more custom cards pictured. As the July 19th launch appointment draws nearer more data near the GTX 1060 has come to light. And today'southward leak is definitely one of the biggest yet as it gives the states a glimpse of the carte du jour's DirectX 12 performance and how it stacks up against the RX 480 contest from AMD.

Nvidia GTX 1060 Vs AMD RX 480 DirectX 12 Benchmarks

The GTX 1060 was benchmarked against the RX 480 in the but released 3DMark Time Spy DirectX 12 test with asynchronous compute turned on and off. The results are courtesy of PCEVA -- via VCZ -- and include scores accomplished with a ten core i7 6950X CPU and a quad core i7 6700K CPU.

There's no mention of which particular GTX 1060 model was used here and whether a Founder's Edition or a custom model was tested. Regardless, the card manages to achieve a higher score compared to the RX 480. Although information technology does not evidence gains equally significant as the RX 480 with async compute enabled. An area where AMD's GCN compages still commands the atomic number 82. Overall nevertheless, the GTX 1060 nonetheless manages to deliver a higher score.

Nvidia GTX 1060 Gaming Benchmarks At 4K, 1440p & 1080p

Moving on to gaming performance, a number of promotional performance charts of the GTX 1060 have made their way to the web. The benchmarks include 5 games : Hitman, Rise of the Tomb Raider three, Just Cause 3, Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 and DOOM.

It's merely three days from now until third party gaming benchmarks are made available. These benchmarks should help you get a general idea of where the GTX 1060 stands, just don't read as well much into them.

More than Custom GTX 1060 Graphics Cards!

We have to cards from Colorful, the iGame U Peak and the iGame X TOP. Both cards feature a triple fan, open air design and decent manufacturing plant overclocks right out of the box. Both cards also feature the aforementioned custom designed PCB with 5+2 power phases and two t-pin PCIe ability connectors. The 10 TOP comes with a higher factory overclock right out of the box too equally unlike heatsink shroud. Also that the cards are pretty much identical.
