GeForce GTX 1060 and GTX 970 Gaming Performance Comparison

If you still pine for your old Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 and wonder if it is worth to change it with the slightly less older GTX 1060, but you cannot find something essential that sets them apart, then we are here to help you out.

Before we head to the numbers, let us look under the hood and see what each graphics card has inside. Then, we will talk about gaming performance and test the 970 vs 1060 and see the FPS for top games like GTA V, The Witcher III, Assassins Creed: Odyssey, and more.

GeForce GTX 1060 vs GTX 970

When we say performance, we think of core clock speed and high core clock speed.

The GeForce GTX 1060 has 1506MHz, and can reach 1709MHz, in Turbo Mode, and its memory clock operates at 2002MHz. Meanwhile, the GTX 970 has 1050MHz, goes up to 1178MHz in Turbo Mode, with the memory clock operating at 1753MHz.

The GTX 1060  has the upper hand when it comes to better driver support, as it is newer than the GTX 970.

Nonetheless, both GPUs offer great performance, capable to run demanding games at high settings and reasonable FPS.

The GeForce GTX 1060 comes with more video memory than the GTX 970, which means that it can display game textures at a higher resolution with no problem, but the overall memory performance is similar in both cards.

Another improvement over the GTX 970 is that the GeForce GTX 1060 is cooler thanks to the new nanotechnology, making it run cooler and get to a higher clock frequency than the older GTX. Moreover, the GTX 1060 only needs 120 Watts to run compared to the GTX 970, which needs 145 Watts.

FPS Benchmarks On Ultra – 1080p

Grand Theft Auto V – 56 FPS (GTX 1060), 46.3 FPS (GTX 970)

The Witcher III – 54 FPS (GTX 1060), 48 FPS (GTX 970)

Rise of the Tomb Raider – 72 FPS (GTX 1060), 62.9 FPS (GTX 970)

PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds – 92.4 FPS (GTX 1060), 81.8 FPS (GTX 970)

Middle-earth: Shadow of War – 59 FPS (GTX 1060), 60.3 FPS (GTX 970)

Assassins Creed: Odyssey – 41.9 FPS (GTX 1060), 37.1 FPS (GTX 970)

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus – 103 FPS (GTX 1060), 38 FPS (GTX 970)

Apart from the last result, which is quite baffling, the overall gaming performance of the two graphics cards is similar, with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 being slightly better than the GTX 970.

Clash Royale: The New Update Comes with a New Card, New Game Modes and Improve Trading

It’s January, which means we’ll get the new update. With this update, we’ll get a brand new card, arena, and new gameplay modes.

On Monday, we got the Clash Royale update. The update is balanced and comes with tweaks and changes that take place in 10 troops and spells.

We’ve written this article to give you everything you need to know about this new update.

New Card

We’re looking forward to seeing this new card hit the arena. We’re talking about Wall Breakers. Of course, it was borrowed from Clash of Clans, and they’re basically a pair of skeleton minions – each one of them carries an explosive barrel of dynamite. Their target is towers, and when they get to one, their damage is huge. We’re not sure which Arena will be unlocked, but we think we’ll be surprised with Arena 12 – Spooky Town.

Game Modes

The year of Hogs. This is the brand new game mode that is about to meet the light of the day. It will come with Royal Hogs that spawn every 12 seconds behind your towers or the opponent’s towers. The battle will progress, which means that the elixir will ramp up, and also the Royal Hogs that are spawned. 2v2 is nothing when put face to face with Royal Hogs.

There’s also a mini collection mode, which is similar to Clan Wars Battle Day. Here, you and your enemy are given 40 cards from which you’ll need to create your battle decks. With this new mode, you’ll have to exploit your deck building skills and, why not, try new things.

Improvements in trading

You will now be able to choose four different cards that you are willing to exchange for another one – with another player, of course. If that person accepts the trade, they’ll get to choose which card they want, and then the trade is made. It’s easier to negotiate the trades now because there are many options available for other players.

iOS 12 Available with 2 Jailbreak Solutions

iOS 12 has two jailbreak solutions available for the iPhone and iPad, two different hackers choose to offer them to customers around the world. Unfortunately, we are talking about jailbreak solutions for iOS 12 dedicated to application developers, that is, one does not have an installation package, and the other only works through SSH, but not with packages from Cydia.

OsirisJailbreak12 is the first jailbreak solution released sometime earlier this week, but unfortunately, it is not available as an application to automatically install. It is offered as a package that must be compiled with Xcode first, and installed in phones with a developer certificate, but of course it does not have Cydia, and support for tweaks.

The second jailbreak solution for iOS 12 is called rootlessJB 3.0, and is only compatible with devices that have A9, A10 and A11 chips.
Unfortunately, this solution only works through SSH, so it does not have Cydi, and the installation of tweaks is impossible for now because no support has been implemented by the developer.

It is unclear how long it will take for both jailbreak solutions to have full support for jailbreak, and can be easily used on the iPhone and iPad.
