Its a pity that Nitro looks like an old transistor radio, and a shower head.

Building an RX 480 Hybrid Part 3: Results
Quite the reduction in heat. No good for getting to 1400mhz tho. Needs 8pin pci-e he said.

WTF?? I thought 1000 was pretty good going!!
It's faster than 970 and so one would expect it to also be more expensive with 970 still remaining in price stack and as 980 is gone I feel 1060 will be £250-£300 area, pure guess work but using common sense.
Considering the 4gb 960 release price was $239 or 249 and $199 for 960 and nvidia added $50 on top of everything minimum this release, it will be silly to assume that the 1060 is going to be less than $239 / $279 for 3/6gb.
Pretty sure they will just fill the gap between 480 and 1070 with it so my guess is £230 3gb and £270+ 6gb for reference. Maybe around 980 performance.
Can't hit 1400MHz under water.
I think this will be fairly typically because the chips are just pushed well to their limits already.

So can't get to 1500mhz? wccftech really showed how full of junk they really are.
The flurry of information aka "leaks" coming from them was incredible over this card. If this tells you anything about their total disregard for truth....

Can the PCIE slot take any more voltage?
Needs a flux capacitor. Need to ask doc about that tho.

Gregster. Will you be getting a AIB 480 to review? Or sticking with the stock one you already bought?

I would hope the 1060 isn't a 3GB card. That would be utterly lame. That is instant reject as a product right there.
3 GB and 6 GB according to reports. The 6 GB GTX 1060 will likely be £300+ so not exactly a competitor to the RX 480.

Stock one and fan noise isn't an issue. My Titan X was bloody loud lol and even though I had a waterblock, I never bothered to put it on
I am guilty of many times using them for leaks and info but they went to a new level of click bait with the 480 and often led people up the garden path with some of their rubbish. Some of what they posted gave some thoughts of Titan X performance and that isn't fair or just and only leads to some getting disappointed.

There is meant to be two versions - one is 3GB and the other is 6GB. They could do a 4GB version I suppose but using that funky VRAM arrangement the GTX660 and GTX660TI had.

£300+? It's a 960 replacement not the 970.
*cough* 1070 *cough*
