Here they are, first specifications of GeForce GTX 1060. This card features 1280 CUDA cores and 6GB of GDDR5 memory (so quite possibly 192-bit interface). The boost clock is somewhere around 1700 MHz, which gives us maximum compute performance of 4.4 TFLOPs.
NVIDIA rated GTX 1060 at 120W TDP, which is less than Radeon RX 480 (150W). According to leaked slides GTX 1060 will be faster than Radeon RX 480 in terms of performance. It will also be 1.4x more power efficient. However be advised graph values start at 0.8.
Let's see what they have to offer! Especially since the 1070 and the 1080 are unobtainium in Europe, at just under 500€ and just under 800€ MSRP.
At just 15% faster, this better start at 300€ tops for the base model (assuming they do various variants à la 4GB/8GB) or they will rot on the shelves.
founder edition for MSRP $330 (actual 350, as it will be a paper launch like the 1080/1070), normal edition for MSRP $230 (actual 270, since again, mostly a paper launch).

The sad thing is that at 400 eur people would probably still buy it, which is why we can't have properly priced products. Especially considering how many people think that GTX 970/980 performance at $199 is "disappointing". Of course while not taking into account the price tag...

So 15% faster than rx480 would put it at roughly what? 980/390x performance? For $300? Which is how many years ago performance? 2-4 right? Cause 390x = 290x pretty much.
Am I doing this right?
This is much disappointment, may as well add $60 bucks for 980ti or $80 more for 1070.
I REALLY wanted to go Freesync because I can't stand the G-sync premium but the floppy RX 480 launch pushes me towards this card + a G-Sync panel for a nice fat price premium.

Yeah that graph makes more sense. But we have yet to see what this card is truly capable of. Nvidia is known for making bold statements which do not necessarily live up to the hype.
