Looks like the GTX 1060 is no slouch.

GPU_FAH bang for the buck and bang for the Watt, how do these stand up?

How many of these to hit 1M PPD average?

I'd like to see some numbers too... would like to get into the GPU game as temps begin to fall into... fall. 1080 too expensive for me so 1070 is where I'm looking now. Would really like to see some good numbers on 1060, 1070, 1080 when it comes to PPW (points-per-watt).

My 1060 yields a PPD between 230k to 450k. Although for some reason it once went up to 550k when I first start to fold with it. I guess it's because of the WU differences. At 120W TDP and this price point, it is definitely a good choice points-per-watt wise. In a word, the new architecture truly rocks.

I did a little more research and it appers the 1060 aptly exceeds the 970 and matches the 980 for a lower price and less power usage. The next step up to the 1070 will cost $200 more, but has a better PP$ and PPW.

Is the 1080 the best PP$ and PPW or would that be the 1070?

 

[Audioaficionado]

1070 ~ PP$ & 1080 ~ PPW based on what I read after a google search.

Thanks!

I did some googlin' and it didn't seem to be as clear cut to me. I've been out of the 'fold' for too long.

If we can get real numbers, we can figure this out.

1060 is a 120w TDP card, making somewhere near 300k ppd = 2,500 ppw
1070 is a 150w TDP card, Making somewhere near 600k ppd = 4,000 ppw
1080 is a 180w TDP card, making somewhere near 800k ppd = 4,444 ppw

Based on these numbers, the 1080 would win out.

Titan X is a 250w card, making 1.12m PPD = 4,504 ppw

 

[wjruth]

At $1,200 I was hoping it would deliver more. If I ran two 1070's, I would save $350 or so on the initial price and the difference in wattage would cost me an extra $33 a year. So it would take 10 years to make up the difference in initial price. Doesn't seem worth it.

 

[Nathan_P]

Have to agree that its no worth the additional cost, but it is worth the bragging rites

 

[Audioaficionado]

Two 1070 will get you past the 1M+PPD threshold and still less than $1k for the pair.

I have a GTX 1080, and an intel 6700K, clocked at 4.4ghz, and am getting around 850K points per day apparently.

An overclocked Titan X P gives you on average 1.3 million PPD for 250 W (each of mine do this).

An overclocked 1080 gives you about 900 K PPD for 180 W (this is what my 1080 FTW does).
