Is this the guy that compared the POS 480 cooler to a premium $500 cooler? prepare for more BS.
He's talking a whole lot about multi-GPU, talking about how we're about to be in the 'golden age' of it, even though mGPU support is worse than ever and there's no good reason to think that it's going to get anything but worse.
or aimed at the people who only do casual gaming?Seems like it's turned out more cheap and cheerful than expected, aimed squarely at paupers

Just an old Samsung, was going to make it into a 2nd monitor though as my current 2nd monitor has a high pitched squeak.
Want to get a nice FreeSync one as I have heard so many good things about it.
Hopefully this will be a little better.

When the GTX970 released, 780Ti prices had dropped to £300. I dont remember anybody arguing that the GTX970 thus had 'no point'.
You're ignoring that the 390 prices have dropped *because* of the 480.

That's insulting to anyone thinking of buying one of these cards
Which is so ridiculous when they're pushing DX12, where all the multi-GPU works needs to be done by developers on an individual basis. It is no longer handled largely in the drivers like before.

Wow it looks expensive...300quid?
Assetto Corsa is never benchmarked with GPU reviews.
Nvidia has held an advantage in the game historically, though.

Nah Brexit will cause it to be higher.
Though unless it significantly better it's going to be increasingly difficult to justify the prices of the AIB cards.
980 is only around £280 - £300 on OCUK, so they would have to beat that at least.
So it's either going to be another bout of disappointment or a nice surprise.
