PC - GTX 1060 Reviews - View Post

Yeah the way i see it Is there are 12,000+ games in which the 1060 will offer better performance, while very few DX12/Vulkan games out there.

Those games which will also have DX11/OpenGL modes since Win 7 still has split marketshare with Win 10.

In the case of Doom, the benefits of Vulkan falls well north of 60 fps...so for most users its a non factor anyways.

Personally i see this as a perf/watt Nvidia win here, its just a more desirable solution.

However....the real threat comes with the RX490. That has a chance, if this proves to be an element of scale, of matching a 1070 in DX11 while utterly destroying a 1080 in DX12.

Nvidia's driver team will be put to the task for sure.
