    Gibbo; What time in the UK will 3070 preorders open

    Will it be the same for RDNA 2 cards? I hope there won't be region restriction for those.

    Cheap and cheerful card.

    Cheapest RX 470 might be a long-term good deal in a few weeks, when price presumably drops a bit. Based on some leaked benchmarks the RX 460 does not seem to be a winner card, of course those numbers can be completely BS.

    GTX 1060 Compatible with my older rig

    I'm using a Fury Pro in a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot without any problems or performance drop.

    Which graphics card for 250-300.

    The Fury series is actually pretty decent at 4k. Even with monster games like The Witcher 3. When other cards take a big hit in FPS, the Fury's just slow down a bit and beat Titan X and 980 Ti in many tests. So even if you switch to 4k with no immediate VGA upgrade, you would be quite okay.

    Is driver degradation a thing or just made up?

    Why would Nvidia optimize for old hardware? They business strategy is to sell a new shiny card to you in every generation for a little more. :) It looks like the 290x produces some great numbers these days, while the Nvidia cards are clearly left in the dust. Thanks for the topic to confirm this.

    What happened between the 970 and 1070?

    Not gonna happen. They need bad boy AMD to sustain high prices and avoid turning into a monopoly. So on the contrary: Intel is slowly moving ahead to eliminate discrete GPUs. That means survival for both Intel and AMD, not so for Nvidia.

    Fury vs 980Ti

    Buying a 980 Ti doesn't make sense anymore. It's yesterday's tech and ages badly. Go for an 1070 or the Fury. The latter will be still among us, when Maxwell feels like distant history.

    AMD or Nvidia - DX11/12/Vulkan/OpenGL

    1080 Ti should have the raw power to overcome any DX12 issues for a long time.

    Pascal Titan-X Launch

    What is the purpose of this card? To make 1080 owners feel bad they don't own the fastest card anymore?

    1060 Launch-No Wonder Nv is King

    The blue line is the reference pricing, which does not exist in the real world, at least not at the tested shop. You can find the real price of the 1060 higher. :)

    1060 Launch-No Wonder Nv is King

    https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1060/28.html The RX480 has the best performance-per-dollar ratio today. AMD is not in a position to give away a similarly performing card for half the price Nvidia set. And quite frankly, if they did, people would still buy Nvidia, because...

    1060 Launch-No Wonder Nv is King

    Too bad, vBulletin does not have sortable tables AFAIK, that would solve the problem. Overall, CPU and GPU scores in different columns and you could just sort them the way you want. Or maybe storing the data in a Google Docs Sheet and putting it here in an iframe.

    1060 Launch-No Wonder Nv is King

    Well it looks like the typhoons only hit AMD's factories. I suspect it was financed by Nvidia thru HAARP.

    GTX 1060 Vs RX 480 - head to head showdown

    + 10% faster in DX11 + significantly lower power consumption - 10% more expensive - significantly worse DX12/Vulcan performance - less VRAM - no SLI 1060 is good, if you spared more money, than the cost of an RX480, but cannot afford an 1070, you live in a region with high electricity cost...

    3D Mark Time Spy not using true A-Sync, Maxwell A-Sync switched off!

    Glad I only have the demo and did not pay for biased results.

    Hairworks & Witcher 3 - on or off?

    With AMD optimized settings there is no noticeable hit, but it still looks very-very good!

    New GPU time

    You mean 1060? The 960 is nowhere near the 480 and also it is previous gen.
