Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
As for the Founders Edition at $300, the cost per frame data above speaks for itself. In a world where the 4GB RX 480 can be had for $200, the GTX 1060 can't afford to be priced any higher than $250. The GeForce GTX 1060 does have the advantage of being a slightly better overclocker, at least when comparing the AMD and Nvidia reference cards. It also has a notable advantage in power efficiency. So then, it seems like the Maxwell vs. GCN 3rd gen battle all over again.

GPU Benchmarks
GPU benchmark scores are aggregated from dozens of tests conducted in TechSpot's labs, compiled from our full library of GPU reviews and gaming benchmarks. Scores are normalized to a shared baseline and organized by resolution, covering rasterized workloads exclusively. Ray tracing and upscaling technologies are disabled to guarantee consistent, like-for-like comparisons.
Well I have to say that although I haven't had a chance to check out the multiplayer action yet, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found in the beta experience of Destiny 2. The game looks great, plays well and it's already significantly more...
