NV has been quite awesome in recent years, especially this generation of Pascal flagship GTX 1080 and sub flagship GTX 1070, but this flagship and sub-flagship price is too high, for the non-hardware enthusiasts but the general game player is really a little extravagant, So the dessert RX 480 farmer's company fired on the so-called dual card out GTX 1080! For NV, of course, can not make the dessert-level RX 480 in the midrange mainstream market, so the dessert grade GTX 1060 also follow the footsteps of the RX 480 came, and known as comparable to the GTX 980! After the official launch of the landlord took this colorful iGame GTX 1060 Flame Ares U non-public card, after three days of testing, will fully demonstrate the card's performance, temperature, power consumption and overclocking and other aspects.
One, out of the box appearance:
æ˜¾å¡ graphics card packaging, in recent years, with the video card for the importance of the game, so the packaging pattern is a picture of this game, there are VR READY logo on the box, you know!
IG IGAME logo and GTX 1060 on the side of the graphics card!
èƒŒé¢ On the back, there are three major series of player customization concepts and their graphics cards.
七 Colorful interior protection is still foam, the type of packaging is consistent with the previous card.
内部 All the internal accessories, including product manuals, driver CDs, large 4pin 6pin interface x2, and 2 years warranty 3 year warranty card and fun package, for the past looks like a DVI to VGA adapter!
æ˜¾å¡ The graphics card is in anti-static packaging.
惯例 Practice, enjoy the fun of breaking the film!
æ˜¾å¡ The front of the graphics card adopts three 8cm fan designs, and the heat dissipation shell is made of plastic!
顶部 At the top of the graphics card, from the IGAME logo, the card should have no faith light!
æ˜¾å¡ Graphics card with 6+6pin power supply interface, the public version is a single 6pin power supply interface!
↑ Two nickel-plated heat pipes, one is 6mm and the other is 8mm!
æ˜¾å¡ The bottom of the video card!
有 There is a back panel on the back of the card. Remove the protective film to avoid scratching before use!
金属 After tearing off the protective film, the texture of the metal backboard is very strong and the pattern on the backboard is just right. This backplane must be praised. There is no cellular opening in the integrated one! After cleaning the dust on the back of the graphics card is much more convenient, and the whole piece of hardness is stronger, the PCB is finally not afraid to be bent by the huge radiator!
æ˜¾å¡ Graphics card interface has a protective cover, of course, there is a familiar one-button overclocking button!
↑ The interfaces are DP 1.4x3, HDMI 2.0x1 and a DVI interface, which are sufficient for everyday use!
æ˜¾å¡ graphics gold finger, looks like the card will be checked the first time here to see if it has been inserted! There is also a gold finger protection cover!
ä¸å¯ Appearance is indispensable is to dismantle, before the demolition of the back plate protective film, so as not to scratch the back when the demolition affect the appearance!
è®°å¾— Remember to unplug the fan power connector to avoid disconnection when the PCB and heat sink are separated. There is only one fan power connector in the card. It seems that there is no faith light!
拧 Twist off the four screws and the back plate screws in the internal PCB!
è½»æ¾ Easily separate the PCB from the heat sink.
æ˜¾å¡ graphics card front photo, materials are still quite luxurious! PCB is still using colorful SPT over silver plating technology, better oxidation resistance and stability!
↑ GP-106-400-A1 core, the core is rectangular. Memory is 6 pieces of Samsung DDR5, each piece is 1GB memory composition of a total of 6GB memory, there are two reserved memory locations in the upper left corner.
æ˜¾å¡ The graphics card adopts the core 6-phase + memory 2-phase digital power supply scheme. It adopts Rainbow's self-developed IPP inductors. Of course, there are Japanese Fujitsu solid-state capacitors.
æ˜¾å¡ Card interface output adopts shield design to reduce interference!
æ˜¾å¡ Video card overclocking connector, three-pin design!
æ•£çƒå™¨ The radiator heat pipes and fins are nickel-plated to avoid oxidation problems.
æ ¸å¿ƒ The core heat is directly touched by a heat pipe.
↑ Continue to remove the radiator shell. There is really no light strip from the shell. This means that the card does not have a belief light!
æ•£çƒå™¨ Radiator front!
风扇 The fan is not integral with the housing and can be removed separately, which means that the fan can be replaced
12 Colorful 12V fan designed and manufactured in Taiwan, no stop function!
ç»§ç» Continue to open the 9 fixed backplane screws on the PCB
分离 The backplane and the PCB are separated, and there is a protective washer at the PCB fixing backplane opening!
有 There is a transparent protective film inside the backplane to prevent PCB short circuits.
↑ PCB back!
拆 To dismantle a large group photo, the following is to put them back, but fortunately they are all screw-fixed. It is also easy to assemble and remove them. The most fear is that the heat sink and the shell are buckled. If they are accidentally broken, they will be cut off. !
外观 Appearance Appreciation
↑ HD and HD6970 casket board contrast backplane, saying HD6970 backplane is the favorite landlord, one forming, but the GPU is still open, or this generation of colorful backplane praise ah!
Second, heat dissipation, power consumption, noise:
testing platform:
CPU: i5 4690K OC to 4.5G
Heat dissipation: mining B68
Motherboard: ASUS Z97 Tigers
Memory: Spotlight Strips 4Gx2 1866
SSD: Intel 520
Hard Disk: Seagate 500G
Graphics Card: Set Intel HD4600/ Colorful iGame GTX1060 Flame Ares U TOP
Driver: NVIDIA official 368.81 driver
Power Supply: GALAXY HOF 1000W
Monitor: ASUS VS239HR
Others: Tt fan x3, USB wireless network card
↑ The first is to display the power consumption test of the entire platform.
集 After setting the display platform to boot into the system desktop, the power consumption for standby for 5 minutes is about 55W.
集 Set the full power consumption of the platform to about 140W, turn on the crazy mode, use the AIDA64 system stability test to make the processor and other hardware fully loaded, and then use the donut baking machine to make the graphics fully loaded!
上 Appreciate and test tools on the machine
采集 Collect the standby power and full power consumption of the display platform, and then you can display the iGoogle GTX1060 Flame Ares U TOP! It's nice to light up once!
大概 The room temperature was about 26.6 degrees during the test, and the air conditioning thermostat was tested!
七 Colorful iGame GTX1060 Flame God of War U TOP alone showed 55 dB of standby noise, basically can not hear the sound, in fact, can be lower, this is outside the summer know you understand!
七 Colorful iGame GTX1060 Flames Ares U TOP alone significantly standby power consumption is about 64W, 10W higher than the set standby, standby temperature is 31 degrees, the fan speed is 1050! It seems Pascal's power control is still quite awesome!
七 Colorful iGame GTX1060 Flame Ares U TOP graphics card core default frequency 1506MHz, full load power consumption is about 240W, is still AIDA64 system stability test so that processors and other hardware is fully loaded, graphics card donut baking machine after 10 minutes of power consumption, In other words, the actual maximum power consumption of the card is only 100W, which is 20W less than the official claim of TDP: 120W. The landlord suspects that his test posture is not correct. It's too powerful to know that this card is comparable to the GTX980! At this point the maximum temperature of the video card is 68 degrees, the fan speed is 1550 rpm!
æ˜¾å¡ After the graphics card is fully loaded, the fan speed is 1550 rpm, and the noise is 57 dB. There is basically no change from standby.
七 Colorful iGame GTX1060 Flame Ares U TOP uses one button to overclock the core frequency to 1595MHz. At this time, the full-load power consumption is about 250W. After one-key overclocking, the power consumption is 10W higher than the default frequency, and the doughnut baking machine is used for ten minutes. After the graphics card temperature is up to 70 degrees, the fan speed is 1600 rpm! One-key overclocking core frequency is improved, and the power consumption temperature is naturally higher. It can be understood!
æ˜¾å¡ After the graphics card is overclocked, the fan speed is 1600 rpm, the noise is 58.5 db, and the standby change is not large, and the noise is still obviously not heard!
↑ This is a manual overclocking, overclocking software is Colorful IGAME ZONE, because of physical reasons, the card's main core frequency up to 1676MHz, higher than the default 1506MHz 170MHz, 1595 than the 1595 overclocked only 81MHz higher, and then high The instability will hang! Memory frequency up to 2100MHz, that is, the memory frequency is 8400MHz, 392MHz higher than the default
七 Colorful iGame GTX1060 Flame God of War U TOP manual overclocked to the core frequency of 1676MHz, memory frequency 8400MHz, using the same way to full load test, found that the power actually and the core default 1506Mhz, memory default 8008Mhz exactly the same only about 240W, than a key overclocking To lower the 10W, not only the power consumption, the maximum temperature after baking machine is also 68 degrees after 10 minutes, and the highest temperature of a key overclocking is 70 degrees! The fan speed is also around 1600 rpm! And the results of many tests in three days are still so, it is wondering, according to reason, the higher the frequency of natural power and temperature is higher, how after the overclocking and the default is exactly the same? Manual overclocking is higher than the one-button overclocking frequency, power consumption and temperature are actually lower than one-key overclocking. Is Pascal's frequency reduction after overclocking? A key overclocking BIOS will not be downclocked?
↑ Nothing to say about noise, the fan speed after manual overclocking is 1600 rpm, the noise is 58.3 db, basically no change!
Third, performance testing:
性能 Performance test, processor OC to 4.5G, is mainly afraid of i5 4690K dragging hind legs! 3DMARK 11 graphics card default frequency P is divided into 13083!
↑ 3DMARK 11 graphics card default frequency X is divided into 5703! Already level with the GTX 980 ran!
æ˜¾å¡ The graphics card default frequency 3DMARK Time Spy score is 3990, and GTX 980 is still similar!
æ˜¾å¡ The graphics card default frequency 3DMARK Fire Strike score is 10534.
七 Colorful iGame GTX1060 Flame God of War U TOP After using one button for overclocking, 3DMARK 11's P is divided into 14157, which is more than 1000 points higher than the default frequency of 13083!
↑ After one-key overclocking, the X of 3DMARK 11 is divided into 5956, more than 200 points higher than the default frequency of 5703!
↑ After a key overclocking, 3DMARK Time Spy runs into 4172, which is nearly 200 points higher than the default 3990.
3 The 3DMARK Fire Strike score after a key overclock is 10860, which is more than 300 points higher than the default 10534.
↑ This is the 3DMARK 11 P after manual overclocking is divided into 14322, as a comparison, the default P is divided into 13083, a key overclocked P is divided into 14157.
手动 After manually overclocking, the X of the 3DMARK 11 is divided into 6125. As a comparison, the default frequency X is 5703, and the one-key overclock X is 5956.
手动 After manually overclocking, 3DMARK Time Spy runs into 4282. As a comparison, the default running is divided into 3990, after one key is overclocked, it is 4172.
3 After manual overclocking, the 3DMARK Fire Strike score is 11136. For comparison, the default running score is 10534, and the one-key overclocking is 10860. From the above point of view, there is no downclock after manual overclocking ah? What about the low power consumption of manual overclocking? fainted! The landlord has feedback to the official Rainbow, and wait for the official reply!
↑ In addition, of course, is now very hot VR performance test, followed by the default frequency, a key overclocking and manual overclocking!
æ¸¸æˆ Game test, Crysis 3, for the highest quality!
奇 DX12 game singularity is the same, is the highest quality!
奇 Singularity comes with a benchmark test!
å¤ Tomb Raider 9 is the highest quality!
å¤ Tomb Raider comes with a benchmark test! The game plays less, only to play Warcraft, so why simple test, anyway, playing up the wood problem!
Finally: The GTX 1060 is absolutely comparable to the GTX980 in performance, and its power consumption is even lower than that of the GTX 980! Xiao Bian originally measured the power consumption of the GTX 980ti but approached the 480W directly! On the power consumption to say here, the processor, graphics card is not overclocking to play games or use 3DMark running points is about 200W, the processor is not overclocking graphics card is about 230W! According to the manual overclocking power consumption, the card baking machine should be down-clocked, but there is no down-clocking problem in the performance test, it should be caused by the full load of the roasting machine, the game running points must not be fully loaded! So it is recommended that the power supply rated 400W on the line! In addition to talk about the Uranium this flame war U-bar, although the positioning is lower than the flames Ares X, but there is no faith in the light can not be justified, backplane indeed praise ah, for a good power consumption card, the three-fan design is really It's too luxurious. If you subtract a fan and add some lights to your faith, it might be better! In short, the card is still recommended to buy, after all, Colorful IGAME series upgrade 3 years warranty!
