NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Benchmark Results — All CPU Pairings Tested
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has been stress-tested in 40 distinct CPU pairings from 208 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 64.4/100 (grade C). The strongest measured pairing is Intel Core i7-8700 Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.60 GHz) at 68/100; the weakest is Intel Core i5-8400T Processor (9M Cache, up to 3.30 GHz) at 59/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 3.8% with thermal health around 94/100.
What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.

Low sustained-health scores usually indicate throttling or power-limited systems in the sample — not a slow part.
Full combo analysisCitable facts about NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has been measured in 40 distinct CPU pairings on UserBenchmark.org, totaling 208 verified browser stress-test samples.
