ASUS GTX 1060 6GB STRIX OC Review

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is a third-person open world video game, where the player controls a ranger by the name of Talion who seeks revenge on the forces of Sauron after his family, including his wife, are killed. Players can travel across locations in the game through parkour, riding monsters, or accessing Forge Towers, which serve as fast travel points.

The extra frequency helps the ASUS GTX 1060 edge out the RX 480 in Middle-Earth, though an overclocked RX 480 would likely leap-frog back into the lead.

  2. Why isn’t there a GTX 980 in this lineup, seeing as it’s supposedly the 1060’s most comparable card? would have been interesting to see the differences between the two.

  4. Hi N3XUS. While that may be true. Isn’t a heavily overclocked 970 comparable to a stock 980? I’ve heard elsewhere that the 1060 is around the 980 performance wise. Wondered why there wasn’t one included in the lineup. I would have been interested to see where the 1060 lay in between the two (970 and 980).

  5. The card is phenomenal…. Only problem is the price here in Canada… retailers that have this particular model are charging upwards of $459 to $469… Not enough of a performance boost to replace a RX480 ($309 – $329 Canadian) and to close to a GTX 1070 price wise… (I would just step up to 1070 instead of getting this unit).

  6. Hey! Yes, you’re right a 970 with a nice OC can indeed reach 980 levels of performance.

  9. I’m sure I answered this question before, maybe it was someone else. Anyway the screenshots are there just to provide the settings we use for benchmarking each game. When these settings screenshots were taken it was a GTX 750 Ti, which has 2GB.
