I said 'if its' 970/390.... most things point to that, you may have found one that puts it around 980 performance, it does not make your assertion with it an overiding fact.

Thats what he's talking about? its overclocked, hence the higher clock rate, heat and power.
Point taken. We'll find out in less the 48 hours. Until then, you can call my guesstimate an 'educated guess' (at best).
You still haven't answered my question about the 1060 though. I am genuinely interested in your opinion. Please share your thoughts on the below:
£ droped again 
at this rate brexit will change the segmentation of GPUs for british citizen
every US import took almost 20% raise compared to last week, at least for upcoming orders, time to clean the 10 series FE before next order.

I'll awnser that, if the 1060 is a 970/390 at 970/390 prices i'll call it overpriced and crap.
Stick that in your favorates/bookmarks and call me out on it.
i have 0 confidence that the 1060 will be remotly as compelling as the 480 or 470.
Gibbo's chuffed with how many orders they're receiving, rather than how many they've actually sent. I'm sure he's very far from chuffed with how many cards OcUK are actually receiving to be able to ship out. You only need to look around the forum to see people talking about cancelling their orders here and buying from competitors because a certain model (or indeed any model) happened to come into stock elsewhere. That's money that'd be in OcUK's bank account if supplies weren't so godawful, because OcUK would have plenty of stock of every (or even simply some) models, meaning those orders would be shipped and the money secured.
Maybe not, yet its also not like Nvidia to miss an oportunity to trip AMD up.
With where the 480 is rumoured to be, thats not difficult, its actually pretty easy.
it is not difficult knowing the size of GP104, GP106 will most likely be between 150-180mm², performance wise it will be around 470, add to that the complication of production volume, since they also have gp104 to stock up on, so even the price of the 1060 wont be as competitive, most likely outcome 1060 at 470 perf with 480 price point.
beside from what i see so far, im thinking that Nvidia isn't really pushing on margins, but the cost of producing gp 104 is too high, maybe they pushed the size a bit too early.

Actually there's no universal sales tax in the US. Most states pay nothing on top of price for online goods.
