woo MSI have UK RMA now? I've had a couple of their cards in the past and they were very good had no issues with them. Cheers.

I'm assuming DL-DVI is one output that can go to two monitors, but just one regular dvi display should work fine?

Apologies, it appears that Holland is the place for RMA's with MSI and can take up to 14 days.

DL-DVI is a single monitor connection. You can use that, plus HDMI for another monitor if you want (if that is what you mean?).

No probs, I knew they used to be Holland but got excited at the prospect of UK rma, still never had an issue with their cards in the past and hope I wouldn't need it again

I know a couple of MSI reps and top blokes. They are a decent company and if buying with OcUK, you will be fine

MSI RMA's take up to 28 days. I know this as I RMA'd a 390X a few months ago, before swapping to a 1070.

AMD have done the same thing. Does AMD do Conservative Rasterization? Does AMD do Rasterized Ordered Views?

These are also key parts of DX12 and will be things we will see down the road. Everyone is putting so much stock into Async but ignoring these other basic DX12 components.

Well, async alone will give you a 5-10% increase, so it's not something that you can ignore.

By the way, is there any news on CR/ROV coming to Vega maybe? It'd be great if AMD finally support it. Maybe that will bring those features to Vulkan as well. We need a Vega thread!

You might get a better RMA outcome/turnaround if you put Netherlands in the address

Morning guys,

Quick question, i think i already know the answer. Was saving for a 1070. I'm sticking with 1080 gaming for the next 1-2 years. Would a 1060 be a better buy for now and save me £150-200 quid? Would like to run everything on a high. Currently using the mobo to play overwatch and its soul destroying.

Thanks.

The 480/1060 would be perfect if you need to buy something now. Save the money, then look what comes in the new year with Vega and 1080ti and how that affects either your choice or at least the prices.

ok well I only tested with bf4 on full settings at 1080p with an i3 6100,runs like a dream and I would say its about double the fps of my 960 I had.

temps were around 55-60c but its red hot in this room.
so far well pleased.

Might consider an i5 in the future to help alleviate any bottlenecks with the i3.

Great! Get on that time spy benchmark thread!

i3 only uses less than 60% in bf4
