The first GTX 1060 benchmarks have been leaked by a Chinese PC bulletin board member, TechPowerUp reports.

The member put it through 3DMark Firestrike (Full HD) and 3DMark Firestrike Ultra (4K). The card was tested on a machine powered by a Core i7-6700K processor.

The result is a 3DMark Firestrike score of 11,225 for the standard test, and 3,014 for Firestrike Ultra – making it slightly more powerful than AMD’s recently released RX 480.

Perhaps the more interesting news is that Nvidia could release two different versions of the GeForce GTX 1060. This means we will likely see one GtX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM and one with 3GB.

You check out the Firestrike scores below:

GTX 1060 01


GTX 1060 02
