24 FPS average at 1440p across 9 games, anchored estimate · 1080p gaming, 1440p is a stretch outside older titles
24 Avg FPS Includes estimates
This card is still waiting on bench time. Until it gets there the figures are anchored estimates, interpolated from cards we measured on the same suite. Across our 9-game suite at 1440p, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB averages 24 FPS. The ceiling is Counter-Strike 2 at 42 FPS; the floor is Alan Wake 2 at 8 FPS, a 5.2x spread that tells you how engine-dependent this class of card is. In practical terms that means 1080p gaming, 1440p is a stretch outside older titles. Under load we logged a peak of 115W against the 120W rating.

Denser than 5% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
