I notice there are some smaller versions available? Is there any difference in performance there? Tempted to grab a smaller one as the price is much better but worried its a cut down version, it would probably look a bit silly in my full size tower though 
The spec looks the same...

EVGA SC overclocks great and runs cool and quiet.
Nah. Some will buy one and others will buy the other, depending on what their priorities are and (for some at least) where their loyalties lie.

or what monitor they have. No one with freesync will buy a 1060 and vice versa is also true

Very true. Or if they're interested in possibly going dual-GPU in the future.

doubt that, too many complaints about those. Looks like one better GPU is a better option than 2 in SLI or xfire. cheaper as well.

What's the deal about no SLI?
Picking up two low-mid range cards and going SLI was always a good option, giving you top-end card performance for half the price ish, but now we seem to have had that robbed from us.

Nope, all cards feature same amount of cores, memory bus etc. This card can be built on a very small PCB and small cooler, so board partners have used this to make smaller cards which is quite a smart move actually. It reduces cost and means they have no compatibility issues with cases.

I wonder if Gregster is picking one up and reviewing it? Maybe we should setup something like a paypal scheme or something along those lines to contribute 10-20 quid and buy one just for benchmarks and overall stress

Not this time and just gaming at the moment and lots of VR (a bit too hot for that through the day though).
At the prices I have seen though, I was very tempted.
I think AMD is usually less aggressive on voltage than Nvidia are, since many have been able to undervolt their 480s with a corresponding decrease in power usage of around 20W whilst running at stock clocks.
I dont blame you mate,it crazy how there are still no amd aib cards in stock yet.

Don't blame you tbh, and i doubt you'll be the only one, as why wait for god knows how long for a custom 480, when you can buy a custom 1060 right this very second
+1, its an absolute joke you still can't get a custom 480 yet.
