Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4060 might be gradually winning over the hearts and minds of PC gamers, but there’s one GPU that sticks out like a particularly sore thumb in the latest Steam Survey. It’s not from the current Nvidia GPU generation, the one before it, or even the one before that. It’s the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. This GPU has no ray tracing or AI hardware, and it came out in 2016, but it’s still the eighth most popular gaming GPU among Steam users. It not only has more users than the RTX 4070, but it’s also a great deal more popular than any AMD GPU, even now.
Even now, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 can still be sighted all over the place, despite being eight years old. It hasn’t been one of the best graphics card options for years, but you still see it regularly listed in the minimum system requirements for the latest games, simply because so many people use it.
