I was just questioning the performance gain their article shows, seeing as it doesn't match up with what others have shown, with the new drivers, considering theirs was with older drivers.
HWCanucks running a 5960X system close to the best of the best, TPU in comparison is running a pretty average 6700K so it's only logical that Canucks will extract every last ounce of performance out of both cards in the test.
Not to say one is on the money and the other isn't as, IMO it's likely one of those paid for spreads like Nv's been bankrolling for years-except AMD actually splashed the cash for once.
But hey, it's early days still, this time next year the 480 will have left the 1060 in it's dust and probably rubbing shoulders with my 1070 anyway like it always happens.
In terms of gaming the 5960x could be seen as the downgrade but either way both cpus are far more than either gpu needs I.e neither cpu will bottleneck such a low end card(s).
It depends on what games are being tested. A lot of games that use a modern API will benefit from extra cores, although as consumers who are gamers a 6700k is still all you realistically need.
It's more than likely that nvidia don't really care about dx12 with the 10 series, so they can bring out a newer card very soon.
