Matticus91 · 07-19-2016, 08:50 AM

Anyone else jump on it?

R3dliner · 07-19-2016, 08:56 AM

1080 or nothing LOL
980Ti SLI is cheap now too

Mandi90TT · 07-19-2016, 09:15 AM

1080 SLI FTW!

Heh. Only because my monitor is 3440x1440 do I even come close to needing anything like that.

My gaming budget doesn't support the 1080 LOL

For what insane rate did you buy? Is W10 required to run or also W7?

$320 shipped next day air

99% sure this will run on Win 7-10

Alamat · 07-19-2016, 11:24 AM

Where did you get it?
I'm thinking either 1060 or R9 480.

Direct from Nvidia, sold out everywhere else

Alamat · 07-19-2016, 12:03 PM

Dammit....oh well, post a your review on it ok?

R3dliner · 07-19-2016, 12:13 PM

I would stay away from the R9. It runs every hot and you probably can't even OC it.
you can buy a 980Ti for like $400 now. pretty cheap

There's already reviews on YT that are far better than anything i could provide lol.

Basic (very basic) details are:

1070 > 1060 > 980 > 960

Specs between 10 series cards here:
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/compare

1060 beats out the R9 480 in some ways, loses in others, they are close in performance overall.

1060 starts at $250 for secondary/custom brands

1060 Founders Edition is $299 (the one i got since it was the only one in stock...)

Power draw kept at 120W

justanotherdude · 07-21-2016, 03:04 PM

Looking at the 1060 (debating that or a SSC 960 I think), but I'll wait until I start my build closer to the end of the year to see if there's any good deals.

I'm sure you'll be better off expense-wise at that point. Plus there will definitely be more stock by then.

Agreed. My only problem is because there's so much time between now and when I'll start building, my build keeps changing lol

You guys are all wimps. You need to buy this!

Dang3r · 07-23-2016, 07:37 AM

1200 bucks? If I add 50,- more I would get a complete performance brake set for my F32. Hard decision, huh?

P1 · 07-24-2016, 11:06 AM

If I have a Dell XPS 8900, would the 1060 work? I see that it only uses 120W which is the same power that a 960 took.

Does anyone foresee any issues?

Should be fine as long as you have the 4-pin power connector to spare.

I like real world reviews I guess with someone playing said game and what it seems to do....

Well I have a decent amount of play time on it so I can at least offer this:

Far Cry 4 on all Ultra settings runs around 45 (lowest dip) to 70fps

COD W@W on highest settings runs at 80+fps

Cities: Skylines on highest settings (with a pretty massive build) runs at 70-120fps

Heavily modded skyrim runs at 60+ with all highest settings

My other specs are:

MoBo: Asus Z97 Pro-A
RAM: 16gb DDR3 RipJaws @ CAS 9 overclocked to +15% perf
CPU: i7 4790k @ OC'd to 4080mhz
And games are installed on a pretty typical 7200rpm hdd

Thanks! Guess I am quite sold. I do see they are available again too!
