** LARGEST RANGE OF GEFORCE GTX 1060 PASCAL NOW AVAILABLE WITH FREE SHIPPING!! **

I read they underestimated, which to me says, they wern't very confident, so didn't produce enough.

Can the same be said about Nvidia also? 40 units coming from EVGA, 8 units coming from Inno?

Dont see you harping on about them in every thread?

The fact is, they produced an extremely successful card that more than met expectations, so much so they have had to produce more to fill orders, which means partners have delays on pushing out their own customs.

And its not like theres 343242342 1080's, or 1060's in stock anywhere either is it...

Doesn't matter about Nvidia, as their 1070/80 sales are flying in, they'll do AMD just on pre-orders alone for the 1060, as the orders will be flying in for them now, the 480 sales will start to drop, and they'll also be taking custom pre-order sales away from AMD, as they've also got custom cards out now, the switching has begun, as its looking like for an AMD custom card, you still have a good few months wait for them yet.

AMD havn't got the TAM all to themselves now, and taking share back from Nvidia, whose name alone kills them, has just become even harder.

When will the Zotacs be in stock Gibbo?

Think i am going to go for one of these rather than the 1070.

Cheers

 

[MDPlatts]

Wow you are right, I checked a site that USA, Canada, Germany and France trackers has no stock to sell. Only just UK tracker showed few retailers has stock to sell.

So that mean RX 480 are in shortage supply worldwide. Now it nearly end of July, so is AMD have problem with yield that they cant make enough RX 480 chips?

Gibbo bought them all

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Nvidia are just in a different league, AMD just can't compete anymore, take their 480, its only 970 performance, but it needs more power than their much faster 1070, i find that incredible, the gulf between them, is just astronomical now.

All these custom OC'd 480s, it just boggles the mind at how much power they'll be sucking!

If you want to find out how well it sell worldwide, Steam hardware survey now got GTX 1080, GTX 1070 and RX 480 in database.

http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/

I noticed they now have Vulkan data up combined Linux and all Windows systems. I checked back my old post to find how many Steam users total back in June.

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=29726710#post29726710

So there were 175,400,622 steam users as end of June worldwide. 0.20% 350,801 GTX 1080 owners and 0.10% 175,400 GTX 1070 owners worldwide.

Very surprised that survey confirmed Nvidia shipped GTX 1080 in biggest volume worldwide. 0.20% is a lot, it will interesting how many steam users installed RX 480 when August data will come up. Hopefully some GTX 1060 numbers too.

So again, we are back to Nvidia and AMD sell 50m discreet cards per annum.

so far 350,801 have sold (fair assumption that pretty much all 1080 users will be gamers and have a steam account) so thats 0.70% of annual sales and 1070 account for 0.35%.

So yes, both cards have been a great success but its the other 49.5m cards cold per year which makes Nvidia and AMD their money. In Nvidia's case they sell 40m cards per year so combined 1080/70 sales accounts for 1.3% of their card sales this year.

Like I have always maintained, the 1070 and 1080 are for the high end enthusiast market which is only a very small market of one to two percent of all card sales normally.

Hence there isnt any need for Nvidia to drop the price of their 1080s or even price the 1080ti at any kind of sensible money. Some people beleive Nvidia will have to drop the uk price of 1080s or they will lose UK customers. Nope. the Uk market is a small percent of the worldwide 0.7% sales anyway.

In the grand scale of things, 350,801 1080s is retail sales of £210m. The other 49.5m cards sold at say a retail price of £150 accounts for £7,425m of retail sales.

that doesn't sound right at all mainly because we don't have any figures to see the spread of cards sold. What about 980 and 980 Ti, what about 970? none of those are £150 cards, you've just made a huge assumption there. Plus how do we know how many cards Nvidia actually sells / year?

 

[Tommy_Here]

Nope, a 1050 is coming for sure in future months and I suspect we shall also see a 1040 but that is me totally guessing.

GTX 970 was NVIDIA's best selling card, 1060 beats the 970 at absolutely everything, has more memory, more features and has launched at the same money as 970 did.

That's true but don't forget the way games are advancing the 970 was launched before dx12 was being spoken about properly and games weren't as demanding as they are now but yea I agree the 1060 is a good card that asus turbo is a good deal!

Nvida list its in their annual report????

2014 Nvidia sold 40m discreet cards, AMD sold 10m.

The 970 was $299 so well under the $350 figure and is the best selling gfx card of all time I believe.

SO I have made no assumptions. And as for 980ti, i suspect the same people who bought a 980ti are primarily the ones buying 1080 so its the same number.............

And when is used £150 I meant an average of all their cards $350 and under (although Nvidia have now moved this to $379 with the 1070 pricing) so some will be $300 and some might only be $100.

Why has power become such an issue nowadays????

 

[Gregster]

If you look at the bigger picture, you will see why power is such a big issue. If AMD maintain the higher power use, when they start going up in die size, how will they cool it? NVidia had the jump with Maxwell on this and it got mentioned there and a few had the same response as you but don't look at it as electricity but more along the lines of heat being able to be removed.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Its always been an issue for AMDs cards.

Can anyone see the differences between these cards apart from branding?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pali...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-03k-pl.html

Are there any advantages to either?



Thanks.

Both will do a great job. Only a 2 year warranty on both mind and if I was buying today, I would look to this card (not showing an ETA though )

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-32s-ms.html

3 year warranty on that but in fairness, OcUK deal with the warranty and most issues will show up in the first couple of weeks, so go for what you like the look of the best

Yeah was looking at the MSI one, but the 29th puts me off, especially how it could so easily become a latter date as basically all other 1060's say 29th too...seems like a placeholder date. The cards I linked look almost identical physically, seems odd to release them so similar.

Yer, I am a waiting hater with a passion. They are both very similar but will both be chip lottery on overclocking. I like the Zotac Amp as well and really tempted to grab one when they are available but another with no ETA And over my £250 max.

Would the 1060 purely be for review purposes? Isn't a 1080 enough?

Yes, I have decided to get a 1060 and a 480 and run them side by side for a few weeks and then go back to the 1080 (for pure gaming fun) and then revisit both in a few months and see the state of play.

A review on both will be good for my channel as well.

Could give it a go asking for review samples

You would have to agree with this and that from both vendors and I prefer to run what I like with no restrictions. A fairer review and sure I make mistakes and a bit of a "Fred in the shed" kind of reviewer but at least I am honest
