According to the latest report, Nvidia might soon release a different version of the Geforce GTX 1060 graphics card that could feature 3GB of memory as well as lower numbers of CUDA cores as well as a Geforce GTX 1050 graphics card, which should be ready in October.

According to a leaked presentation, it appears that Nvidia might release a 3GB version of the Geforce GTX 1060 which will also have a lower number of CUDA cores, allowing Nvidia to compete with AMD's recently released Radeon RX 470.

According to known details, the new Geforce GTX 1060 3GB will still based on the same GP106 GPU but come with one of the SM units disabled. While the GTX 1060 6GB had 1280 CUDA cores, the new 3GB version will end up with 1152 CUDA cores, same 48 ROPs but a lower 72 TMUs.

The card will have the same 120W TDP and need a single 6-pin PCI-express power connector and retain both the same 1.7Ghz GPU Boost clock as well as 192-bit memory interface. The memory will also end with the same 8GHz clock.

Nvidia could price the new GTX 1060 3GB at US $199, which will allow the company to more effectly compete with Radeon RX 480 and RX 470, both coming with 4GB of VRAM. The Geforce GTX 1060 3GB is rumored for September so we should hear more about it soon.

In addition to the GTX 1060 3GB, the same rumor suggest that Nvidia is also working on a Geforce GTX 1050 graphics card.

While there are still no precise details, it is believed that it will feature a 128-bit memory interface and could come with a TDP of around 75W, so it won't need an extra PCIe power connector. The GTX 1050 will go head to head with AMD's latest Radeon RX 460 graphics card, so we expect it to be priced at around US $119 to $149.
