GTX 1060

Well since these are a rip off, I'm going to have to look at water cooling my 290 and OCing it some more.

I honestly wish I hadn't sold my 4gb 960 a couple of days ago.

Apart from the link not working, if your summary is close to being true it makes the 480 more impressive due to the pretty big clock speed difference.

Different architecture. The 480 requires a massive amount of juice (>1070) to achieve a much lower clock speed.

The 1070 Strix is £480

Edit: That is to say that Strix cards are more expensive than most AIB cards

Umm,you can get GTX1070 cards for under £400 - even a crap GTX1070 would destroy a GTX1060.

Yup. Asus and MSI are douchebags this gen. And forget 1070s... one can get a great 980ti (pretty much the same perf as 1070) for not much more than that 1060 Strix.

Nvidia fail... looks like the 1080ti probably will be £1k at this rate.

Madness. I think I'm done with PC gaming.

This time next year a 1150 will be £400. Nah, screw you guys (AMD + nV), I'm bailing.

Wait for me! I'm bailing too! Though I'm keeping my 970 for good 1080p. The nice sale on the 380X might be a good buy for that present I wanted to get someone... screw the current gen cards and their dodgy prices.

Can i have your stuff?

I'm only on a 2500k with on-board gfx... so it's not much good currently as a gaming rig. Will use it for web browsing and look at getting a console, methinks.

Press the button OC! :O

The new Xbone-S comes in August, looks decent, especially if you want to watch a lot of TV from it as its got native 4k video out..

Failing that, next year is the year of the power console, Scorpio could be a game changer.

lol where they be?

You'll be lucky. More like £1.5k. They are testing the water to see how mad we, as consumers, really are. And the answer is just in: ******* googly-eyed bonkers, because we're paying their prices.

RavenXXX2 · 19 Jul 2016 at 14:03

Pricing aint bad for cheapo cards.

Is the Scorpio going to be better performance wise than the Neo?
