Unlike the Nvidia GTX 1050, you won’t need to compromise the graphics settings to get a silky smooth performance in Full HD for some of the most demanding games available. The Nvidia GTX 1060 offers the best value performance for HD gaming. We’ll be updating this review to reflect how the GTX 1060 handles ray tracing when the update hits in April. It worked a treat on past RTX cards we’ve tested but does put a severe drain on performance, sometimes halving the frames-per-second count. The tech aims to let games render more realistic lighting, shadow and reflection effects. The support is limited to Direct X titles, so it won’t work on every game.įor those that missed it ray tracing is a new rendering technology the company launched on its newer RTX Turing architecture cards.
