MSI GeForce GTX1060 Gaming X test

Nakon testova GTX1080 i GTX1070 kartica u MSI-evoj režiji, u lab nam je stigla još jedna - GTX1060 Gaming X. Riječ je o za sada najslabijem Pascal čipu i kartici koja spada u srednji tržišni razred. Direktna je konkurentica Radeonu RX480 pa će biti zanimljivo vidjeti kakvi su odnosi snaga, potrošnje ali i cijena. GTX1060 Gaming X izgleda identično kao i do sada testirani jači modeli, što znači kako je rashladni sustav odličan, ima RGB LED osvjetljenje, a tu je i dobra kvaliteta izrade kartice.

Dizajn pakiranja je identičan kao i kod jačih modela, a kartica je i jednako dobro zaštićena od eventualnih mehaničkih oštećenja. Bundle je jednako siromašan kao i kod jačih kartica, a dobit će te medij s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, naljepnice i upute za brzi početak rada. Baš kao i jači modeli i ova ima čepiće na svim video konektorima, te na PCIe slotu.

Vizualno se i dimenzijama GTX1060 Gaming X uopće ne može raspoznati kraj identičnih GTX1070 i GTX1080. Tek se pomnijim promatranjem uočava kako ima samo jedan PCIe Power konektor, te kako nema SLI konektor - da, GTX1060 ne podržava SLI! :( karticom dominira TwinFrozr VI hladnjak kojeg smo već detaljno opisivali pa sada nećemo dužiti. Možemo samo reći kako je tih i iznimno učinkovit. I RGB LED osvjetljenje je identičnog rasporeda, a kontroliramo ga uz pomoć aplikacije u kojoj možemo birati efekte ili jednu od 16.7 milijuna boja. Kartica je masivna (mase oko 1 kg), i odlično sastavljena, a dimenzije su joj 277 x 140 x 39 mm.

Grafički procesor koji kuca na PCB-u nosi kodno ime GP106, napravljen je u 16 nm FinFET proizvodnom procesu a broji 4.4 milijarde tranzistora na površini od 200 mm kvadratnih. Unutarnja struktura govori o deset Pascal Streaming Multiprocessor-a što znači kako ima 1280 CUDA jezgri ili shadera - točno upola manje od GP104 čipa u GTX1080 kartici. Tu je 48 ROP jedinica i 80 teksturnih jedinica. Na MSI kartici GPU radi u tri brzine - OC, Gaming i Silent, što naravno mijenjamo uz pomoć softvera. Najbrži OC taktovi su 1809/1594 MHz, Gaming su 1784/1569, a Silent su 1708/1506 MHz. No, kao i do sada sve je ovo samo brojka na papiru jer smo pregledom GPU-Z loga utvrdili kako je maksimalni boost takt u gotovo svim igrama impresivnih 2025 MHz. Memorijsko sučelje je širine 192-bita, GDDR5 memorije je 6144 MB (6 GB), a brzina na kojoj radi je 8100 MHz (8.1 Gbps) u OC modu.

MSI-eva kartica ima pixel fillrate od 76.6 Gigapixela/s, texel fillrate od 127.6 Gigatexela/s i maksimalnu propusnost memorijskog sučelja od 194.6 GB/s. Referentni, a i ovaj MSI-ev model ima nazivni TDP od 120W, pri čemu je u stanju potegnuti 225 W iz dva izvora - PCIe 3.0 konektora i jednog 6-pinskog PCIe Power konektora. Spomenimo i kako referentni model ima 6-pinski konektor. Kartica ima tri Display Port 1.4 izlaza, jedan HDMI 2.0b i jedan DL-DVI-D (nema podrške za analogni izlaz). Podržava sve tehnologije koje podržavaju i jači modeli (VR Ready, Ansel, G-Sync, GameStream Ready, DX12 (FL12_1), Vulkan itd.), osim tog nesretnog SLI-a.

  Način testiranja

Naš standardni test sistem je baziran na Asusovoj Rampage IV Extreme ploči, Intelovom i7-3960X procesoru i ukupno 16GB (4x 4GB) G.Skillove radne memorije brzine 1866MHz. Testovi i benchmarci su isti kao i kod recenzije GTX1080 Gaming X kartice, s dodatkom OpenCL testova iz GTX1070 Gaming X članka. Testirali smo sa 368.81 driverima kako za Windowse 10 tako i za 8.1, samim time na DX12 gdje je moguće i na DX11 na svim naslovima. Testirali smo na 2560x1440 rezoluciji na Dellovom U2713HM, jer je ova kartica prerasla domenu FullHD igranja. Kao i uvijek, napravili smo i testove zagrijavanja te potrošnje kroz nekoliko naslova te uzeli onu najveću vrijednost, a mjerena je potrošnja cijelog sistema. Vrijednosti buke koju navodimo u članku smo dobili mjerenjem uz pomoć Z5 Compact smartphonea (Android 6.0) i SoundMeter aplikacije.   Overclocking

Overclockirali smo s MSI-evim Afterburnerom, a rezultat koji smo postigli je bio boost takt od 1935 MHz za GPU, te 2227 MHz za memoriju. Pregledom GPU-Z loga smo utvrdili kako kartica boosta od 2100 do 2113 MHz pa će biti zanimljivo vidjeti porast performansi u odnosu na 2025 na koliko boosta dok nije overclockirana.

MSI nastavlja svoj uspješan niz Gaming X modela, kartica koje su kvalitetno napravljene i koje imaju odlične performanse. TwinFrozr VI je odličan hladnjak za GTX1070, dobar za GTX1080, a možda čak i predobar (predimenzioniran), za ovaj slabiji GTX1060 (GP106) čip. Bilo kako bilo, kartica je odlično sastavljena i uz ovakvo hlađenje budućem kupcu sigurno garantira tih rad i dugovječnost. GTX1060 kao što smo vidjeli ima odlične performanse koje su usporedive s GTX 980 i R9 390X karticama, a to ujedno znači i kako je dosta brža od glavne konkurentice - RX 480. Ono što je dobro je kako su obje prerasle FullHD i kako su to sada kartice za 1440p gaming. Cijenom su GTX1060 kartice u pravilu nešto skuplje od RX 480, pa je i to nešto na što treba računati. U hrvatskim se dućanima ova MSI-eva kartica još uvijek ne može kupiti dok se primjerice u Njemačkoj prodaje za 340 €. Kada je konkurencija u pitanju, recimo kako se partnerske RX 480 4GB kartice prodaju po cijeni od 250 € na više, a RX 480 8GB po 320 €. 4GB model još nismo isprobali pa ne znamo koliko je sporija od 8GB, no za 250 € zvuči kao dobra kupovina. U Hrvatskoj su cijene malo izjednačenije pa se najjeftinije GTX1060 kartice mogu kupiti za oko 2.600 kuna na više, dok su najjeftinije RX480 8GB kartice oko 2.300 kuna. U tom odnosu cijena je GTX1060 svakako bolja kupnja - još samo da nisu ukinuli tu nesretnu SLI podršku.
