Compute Benchmarks

While I don’t think many people need ITX sized folding cards, I did still run the GTX 1060 Aero through our standard compute benchmarks. Well, I tried at least, as it turns out in between now and my last Nvidia review there have been driver issues with Folding at Home. Hopefully, those will be worked out soon, but I had to skip out on those benchmarks this time around.

I did still test using CompubenchCL though to check out video composition and Bitcoin mining performance. For Video Composition the Aero saw a big jump in performance over the other GTX 1060’s putting it up with the fast Sapphire RX 480 and not far behind the GTX 980Ti. The Bitcoin results were a little more consistent with older driver results with the Aero coming in behind the EVGA 1060 but ahead o the other GTX 1060’s, just like it should given the clock speeds.
