GTX 1060 6GB with FX-9590 1080p, 1440p, 4K benchmarks at Ultra Quality
At 1440p, GTX 1060 6GB can hit 50-60 fps on pretty much everything at ultra, just without antialiasing, less ambient occlusion and turned down shadows. It is clear that the GTX 1060 6GB is a significantly more capable high-end card that can play AAA titles at 1080p/1440p with 50-60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is excellent for GTX 1060 6GB against the competition in budget mid-range cards. In terms of memory, the GTX 1060 6GB 's 6144 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. This combination between GTX 1060 6GB and AMD FX-9590 Eight-Core has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss.

The GTX 1070 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Pascal set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 1060 6GB is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 254. NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Pascal graphics card inside the GTX 1060 6GB, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
The GTX 1060 6GB is much more expensive than the GTX 960 as it costs a whopping $ 254. Compare this to the GTX 960, which came originally at a price of $ 199. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the RX 580 which costs $ 229. Spec for spec, this GTX 1060 6GB leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 960, by boasting 2 % more fps.
The GTX 1060 6GB has 6 GB RAM compared to the GTX 960 's 2 GB video memory. In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 1060 6GB blows past the GTX 960 and, amazingly, even the GTX 970 as well.
Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 1060 6GB consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 960 and it really justifies an upgrade. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Hitman 2, Apex Legends, F1 2019, World War Z, Battlefield V at 61 fps to 68 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps.
The GTX 1060 6GB sits between the GTX 1650 SUPER and the GTX 1060 3GB, falling slower than GTX 1650 SUPER by 14.1% and faster than GTX 1060 3GB by 5.3%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Against its rival - the RX 580, the GTX 1060 6GB is much slower.
The GTX 1060 6GB sits between the GTX 1650 SUPER and the RX 580, falling slower than GTX 1650 SUPER by 6.1% and faster than RX 580 by 2.9%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Against its rival - the RX 580, the GTX 1060 6GB is much slower.
The GTX 1060 6GB sits between the RX 470 and the GTX 1060 3GB, falling slower than RX 470 by 2.6% and faster than GTX 1060 3GB by 5.4%. It has below average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the RX 470. Against its rival - the RX 580, the GTX 1060 6GB is much slower.
The GTX 1060 6GB sits between the RX 590 and the RX 580, falling slower than RX 590 by 7.3% and faster than RX 580 by 3.2%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Against its rival - the RX 580, the GTX 1060 6GB is much slower.
The GTX 1060 6GB sits between the RX 570 and the GTX 1650, falling slower than RX 570 by 3.8% and faster than GTX 1650 by 4.7%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Against its rival - the RX 580, the GTX 1060 6GB is much slower.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Review : Read more . It is not supposed to compete with 200$ 4GB RX 480. For that we will have ~200$ 3GB pascal card whatever they will call it (1050, 1060 3GB).
The GeForce GTX 1060 is Nvidia's answer to AMD's Radeon RX 480, which redefined what a 0 graphics card can do.
I bought a retail MSI Geforce GTX 1060 Gaming X card last month and it was defaulted to OC mode by default. This is the same as the test version that the press received.

NVIDIA releasing the GeForce GTX 1060 so early came as a surprise to most as everybody expected it to be released in fall, around October, which would have given NVIDIA time to milk the high-end while AMD's RX 480 captured the lower end of the market.

I'm looking forward to upgrading to the Ryzen 5 2600x (from an i3-4130) and i'm happy to see, that this combo (I already have a 1060 6gb) achieves very smooth frames in basically any AAA game at high settings, which is already a HUGE upgrade from playing Far Cry 5 on lowest settings with 0.6 render scaling at only 45-60 fps due to that ugly i3 bottleneck xD

In most games 3 GB is still enough for 1080p high, but it will definitely start showing it's age soon. RX 570 would take advantage in DX12 games and the extra vram is going to be useful, so go with the 570.

What to Consider Before Buying a Graphics Card
If you have been planning to upgrade your system by purchasing a new graphics card. Then there are some important factors to consider.
Resolution VS Quality: Impact on Game Performance
What affects game performance? Clarity or Details?
Ultra VS High Quality Settings in PC Games
Every player has a different notion about the ideal setting for PC games. But in most cases, opting for a High quality graphics configuration is the way to go.
What are CPU or GPU Bottlenecks?
Are you getting sudden frame drops? you might have a bottleneck.
What is the acceptable FPS speed for me?
For some games, you can still enjoy great garphics at lower frame rates.
