Require? None, a GTX1060 can run pretty much any recent title at 1920x1080 with a reasonable frame rate with quite high settings.
It is a mid-range card from a product line that is nearly double the speed of the previous generation. Also, that is no mobile chip, it is a full desktop GPU, most likely running less clocks than a desktop card.
870m would have been roughly equivalent to a desktop GTX760. GTX1060 rivals the flagship 780Ti of the time.
Cool, I guess, are there any games, (future) that will be requiring the 1060GTX or expected to require that 1060 GTX, or did I just waste my money moving from a 870m to a 1060 GTX gaming notebook.
Currently, I play the Borderlands Series (still), GR Wildlands, The Division, Stick of Truth. I just started to play Rise of the Tomb Raider and looking forward to playing Fracture Butt Whole.
I have not fully moved over to the 17R4, completely, but I wanted to move to a new notebook, since my G750 is about 3 years old, I have only owned to for about 6 months, purchased it used from a friend, for $650, so now I feel as if I should have just purchased the 17R4, and not wasted the $650, now I have two gaming notebooks.
Okay, so I am good for current games and hopefully good for the next _____ years???
Thanks for you comment.
