Everything past a 970/390 is overpriced but Nvidia's the guilty one, They started it. Proved it could be gotten away with and AMD followed suit,

But hey, At least Nvidia did something first

One could argue that AMD started it with the mental pricing of the 7970 but one won't

Coil whine, coil whine and more coil whine.

Though some console style cases have PCI-E risers so you fit the card at an angle. Cases like the Silverstone Raven RVZ01, while not exactly tiny, will fit a full sized graphics card.

the SG13 is pretty tiny and will take a 980ti (or any other blower style card)
the ones that can't seem to be taller but shorter, so about the same size (or bigger) overall

Using cherry picked results, the Nano is a 680 competitor

And HDMI 2.0, don't forget that!

Lol shocking, I wish I had grid autosport to test.

Something looks a little fishy with that graph...just cant seem to put my finger on it.

Am I being dumb or did I just not see it?

I think you are just posting to much

Joe! · 12 Sep 2015 at 23:05

Me? Never

I skim read it at first and then looked at the obvious thing (e.g: 100, 120 and 140 missing) and was like... whaaa.

I didn't read what Greg said either.

stulid · 12 Sep 2015 at 23:06

I'm almost tempted to knock 800 of your post count

Joe! · 12 Sep 2015 at 23:08

Do it

Don't be daft, it is sponsored by Intel

Why display just the 1080p graphs from Anand? The 4k results are much more relevant, or even the 1440. It performs it's best at 4k and it's higher in the rankins and they are even the first graphs Anand displays, it's like you have gone out of your way to show it perform at it's worse in an environment it isn't aimed at. Seriously?

stulid · 13 Sep 2015 at 00:17

Because its cherry picked like he said.

The give away was the 970 smashing the 390X.

Pretty sure thats intended to showcase how stupid cherry picked benchmarks are, judging by gregs message anyway
