10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

Getting one of these GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB graphics cards allows the gamer to run indie system requirements and some less demanding AAA titles. In today’s PC hardware terms these are considered middle range for gaming performance.

GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB is capable of DirectX 12 gaming requirements.

Here we take a closer look at the various performances across 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions for the GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB. In particular this is looking at the Ultra graphics settings to see what sort of FPS this graphics card can get across some of the more popular games played in 2023. We look at 1000 of the most demanding games available today and this GPU is better than the recommended graphics requirement of more than 594 games in the list.

Running at 1080p this card is predicted to get a playable frame rate from Grand Theft Auto VI with 30 FPS on Ultra. Then we take a look at FIFA 22 which returns a strong 87 FPS. Another title that we looked at is the popular Days Gone which we saw getting a reasonable 50 FPS.

We move on to 1440p, and predict that Grand Theft Auto VI will deliver weak FPS results. Here are the graphic presets - Low: 59 FPS, Medium: 47 FPS, High: 32 FPS and Ultra: 23 FPS. Next we have FIFA 22 running on GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB which gets L: 175FPS, M: 138FPS, H: 93FPS, U: 66FPS. And for performance contrast the popular Days Gone gets L: 101FPS, M: 79FPS, H: 53FPS, U: 38FPS at 1440p. In summary we feel the GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB running at 1440p is one of the better graphics cards for gaming at this screen resolution. We will see 1440p Ultra and High settings across almost all current games.

How many years will the GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB in your PC? There is still 2 years of top end gaming left in this GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB

Whats a good PC graphics upgrade for the GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB? There are no graphics cards on the current market that would provide a big enough increase in performance to warrant upgrading the GeForce GTX 1060 Asus Dual 6GB.
