Indeed, people seem to be acting like every single different model of a certain card is always available with millions in stock at launch. That is rarely the case and some custom versions often take a few weeks/months to come through after the initial launch.

No, it's not.

Nope $249 is for custom 6GB. 3GB will be less.

Sorry missed the 3gb in his post. The pricing is for the 6gb variants. Edited my post.

Well I look at this card as a rival to the $239 RX 480 and at $10 more, a fair rival as well. Both have some plus and minuses in my book (the 480 can be crossfired but the 1060 can't be run in SLI. According to wccftech, the 1060 is faster than a 980 and the 460 is slower than a 980 etc). As for the 'many posts saying the 480 is 970 performance but that performance was available 2 years ago', it is a fair point but this has always been the way historically. I see competition as a good thing and look objectively at them all.

I've just checked now, I counted 12 ( twelve ) different 1080's available for sale ... twelve ...
The demand seems to be a lot higher than anyone predicted and it certainly seems like a lot more than the estimated 1% enthusiasts want to get these cards. Yes there are stock issues and they will continue more than likely for months. Tat was n't the point though, was it ?

It seems there where no genuine 4gb cards, AMD gimped some 8gb cards through the bio's so they could promote the 480 as selling from a starting price of $199, A very limited run done for marketing IMO. If you didn't get one early you're unlikely to get one. Today you can't get a 480 for less that £220 and you can't get a 4gb period.
That's all well and good but the reference 1060 is more expensive than the AIB partner cards nvidia would have you beleive.
So the 480 is cheaper than 180-230?
We can only go by what they have told us.

this is the last time I reply to you as frankly you are getting annoying.
When I say "got" I mean both order and pre-order. Now I am going to leave you to exchange insults with people at your own level, too much attention seems to do you no good.
Wanna link me to your article pal? I'm on one and it's saying 299 and 249. Would be great if the 6gb was 249.
Ok so ignore the link with the evidence that we have with the cards that are already released if the card already clocks to 1700Mhz boost where would you realistically expect that card to clock near without being such a narrow minded child in your response please.
I also didn't once state I was sure I said 'suppose' if you read my post properly and I am somewhat amazed that someone as actually been bothered to read my previous posts my god you must have some time on your hands. I buy cards regardless of who makes them or price I find it sad that people would give a crap both are out to make money its just one seems to do it better than the other at the moment. My favourite card after my Voodoo 3DFX ofcourse was my Hercules Prophet 9800XT this thread seems likes its clearly not for you. Try actually reading peoples posts because mine is not the only one you seem to have not read correctly and responded to.

Wasn't that confirmed as BS? There will be more 4gb cards released.

you are correct, there is a lot more in stock now, still more than half are stating Pre-Order, but yep a lot more in stock.
1070 has a lot of stock also.
It still does not look good though, as these were released a good while ago and there are still waiting lists of people waiting to get these cards. So whats the hold up? Not that it matters to me as i dont buy Nvidia products, but if i did i would be a bit irked to be sat waiting for a product like this, im quite impatient so would have bought something else.
My points still stand though, there is a bottleneck somewhere that is affecting the production of these cards, and i dont think its down to sheer demand.
I haven't seen the announcement on any site apart from Videocardz and wccftech. There is no mention of it on Nvidia's own website so where have these guys got the info?

I have read a couple of articles and no mention of the 1060 being a 3GB card and it has been stated that it will be 6GB and 3GB will be a different GPU (probably the 1050/Ti).
I don't care which card or brand has better, for me and some others it may depend on if the 1060 AIB is worth the extra cost over the RX480 AIB. I can see past the people that are however clearly brand bias on these forums, childish and have such attitude.
I disagree with your perspective...
Nothing smug about holding people to account for their own recent posts or attitudes. The point in fact is that if the RX480 having around 970/980 performance is lambasted by some here recently and called a failure by them or the same such people making suggestions that older clearance Nvidia products was a better purchase at that time.
Then I question how is the 1060 any different if indeed it is in similar performance levels to the RX480 but possibly at even greater cost with less ram?
MSRP means very little regards Nvidia lately and especially currently with the UK so until Gibbo confirms the prices for the first batches then folk arguing like in the RX480 thread too are kinda wasting their time. If production numbers are low then expect more price gouging to happen.

Thanks gregster posted at a similar time, haha. Yeah I was reading and noticed they were only talking about the 6gb. Read that other article and they mentioned the bit about the 3gb model.
