Note that if you were doing a lot of this kind of work and if you cannot use single precision, and if you have enough money, then instead of the GTX 1060 you might want to get one of NVidia's Deep Learning Workstations, or equivalent system. The
There is an interesting analysis at http://timdettmers.com/2017/04/09/which-gpu-for-deep-learning/
Use of double precision is common in deep learning, but some systems can be trained well with single precision. Double precision speeds do not scale the way you would think they should: there is effectively double precision done in software at about 1/32 of single precision floating point speed, to which specialized double precision processors can be added in the design that might take you up to 1/8 of single precision floating point speed or even 1/3 of single precision floating point speed for the real $$$$ top end devices.
