I hope AMD really gets their power usage down. I upgraded my sons PC recently from 2 crossfired R9 270X cards to a RX480 i went thru several of them and none of them were stable! I've used AMD cards many years and never seen such instability like i came across with the 480's. I ended up getting a EVGA 1060 6GB superclock for him and what a stable and reliable card. smaller quieter and it doesn't crash constantly.
What do you mean by instability? Were games crashing or the whole system?
A single RX480 uses about 200W less power than 2x 270X, so it couldn't be the power usage.
some of these are cross posted from 580 thread. he will be benching lots more games in the coming weeks

None of these are for 1060 9Gbps. Not sure what's this have to do with this thread.
Let me stop you right there.
I did not "produce" anything, I replied to a Coulomb_Barrier's graph which is clearly cherry picked (as I've said, this is pretty much the only MEA benchmark I've seen where 480 is faster than 1060, and I've seen at least a dozen of them). The graph I posted is more in line with what you would be able to see in any other MEA benchmark of your choice. What I said about the original graph using medium settings is a theory which could explain this difference, nothing more.
So you should really think on what you want to say next because right now you are barking at a wrong tree. And this is precisely why I ignored the rest of your previous post and will ignore the rest of this one.

One of them is specifically oced and even his non oc tests already have the 1060 at just under 1900 mhz. Not hard to add a few % for the memory boost. Pascal doesnt scale that well with memory ocs in most games
You know if you would follow your own advice of "really thinking about you want to say" this could be a more productive conversation.

He doesn't say how it was OCed. 1080 scales perfectly fine with 11Gbps memory.
This would be a more productive conversation if you'd discussed the topic at hand instead of twisting my words to prove something about my humble person again.
Way better than the tepid Radeon RX 500 refreshes.
Are you sure RX 480 is not going over 1400Mhz due the single 6-pin PCI-E connector?But why do you think so? With 480 even 1400 was not guaranteed, 580 seems to go to to 1500Mhz quite easily. Perf bump is bigger than 4% (although power consumption is higher indeed)
560 has more beef than 460.
550 has no 4xx sibling.
Here's a bunch of 1060 overclocks: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_1060_STRIX_OC/29.html
I think these numbers are initial boost clocks though which means they'll probably drop a bit when stress testing and actual prolonged gaming.
Depends entirely on the use case.Would my 2600k be a bottleneck to these?
I still have a radeon 6950. How much more powerful are these cards? And would my 2600k be a bottleneck to these?

Just got a GTX 1060 today. How can I check to be sure I got the updated hardware?
