And according to Tom’s Hardware post, despite the fact that GDDR5 and GDDR5X have similar names, the new card differs from past approaches.Priced at $299, the GDDR5X variant is faster than the GDDR5, and the GDDR5Xhas 190-ball BGAwhile GDDR5 has got a 170-ball BGA format.

After all, GTX 1060 has been sitting on the throne of the undefeated champion on Steam's Hardware & Software Survey for a while. And now with this fifth edition of GTX 1060, the world-famous graphics card manufacturer is all set to stay ahead of the game as its competitor, AMD is expected to work on its Radeon RX 500-series and upgrade it very soon.
