Nvidia GeForce GTX 1000 Series (Pascal) MegaThread: FAQ and Resources

This may only help AMD.

Yep. I want a 1060vs460/470 showdown asap, too.

I so desperately need something till a 4k card arrives D:

 

[simon12]

I would guess the 1060 to be above the 480 in price and performance just as if not it leaves a huge pricing gap between it and the 1070 even with a ti to fill it its still a big gap. But matbe by the end of the year when Vegas out the 1070 will come down.

finally, a decent evga 1070 SC review. compares it to the gaming x and shows out of the box the MSI card is a good bit better, but once oc'ed, they match pretty close.

this is what i am expecting from the 1070 cards. a bit of difference out of the box but once oc'ed they should all pretty much even out. it's worth noting here that the evga card uses the standard 4+1 phases and the msi has a 10 phase set-up. yet they oc the and perform the same.

"TSMC being blamed for NVIDIA GTX 1080, GTX 1070 supply issues and retailer price gouging

Does anyone else think this might be a problem.
"TSMC is reportedly having trouble producing the 16nm FinFET chips that power the Pascal GPUs in the GTX 1080 and GTX 1070, Mobipicker has learned."

If they are struggling to make the chip, then the cards could be buggy.

Wow that's pretty cool. The GTX 1060 actually has a good looking reference design for a change.

And for a "spyshot", the quality, light and angles of the picture let you take it in all it's plastic glory without giving away anything else other than "it's coming!", haha.

Yeah, I'm calling a "let's rain on AMD's parade" from the nVidia PR department.

Still, interesting to see the size and dimensions of it.

Cheers!

both company do that to each other all the time lol

Those coolers are actually hefty hunks of aluminum and metal rivets. Very solid, sturdy, and industrial up close. And yes, I am expecting this to be just the first drops of a full blown rainstorm on the 480 parade.

Looks like MSI is starting an easy upgrade program like EVGA.

But the article is locked behind a password, yet the title is revealed >_>

Hopefully the 1060 won't be price gouged and they will have enough supply.

It's strange too that it's going to be $300 for the 6GB that's rumored. I guess once again, they're will be no x60 TI?

 

[17seconds]

I think the speculation in that report was that they expect the 1060 to sell for $249. All that would of course be contingent upon the price performance of the RX480.

 

[-Fran-]

Given the "rumored" (I'm tempted to call it "leaked to the public", haha) price, then we should expect either RX480 performance OR whatever nVidia has in that price range currently.

Cheers!

Probably should save this for the AMD speculation thread but the 480 isn't a world beater. ( Assuming this is legit. Videocardz posted it. )

Metro Last Light and The Witcher 3 are both titles AMD does well in traditionally.

GTX 1060 inbound in July.

Actually Anort Metro and the Witcher 3 are both Nvidia titles. All the same, those types of benchmarks are more relevant, since more people actually play those games, as opposed to AMD games like Ashes and Hitman.

msi gaming 8g and gaming x 1070's in stock at newegg right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007709%20601204369 probably won't last if you want one grab it quick

 

[TechyInAZ]

Oh boy, prepare for your hopes to be dashed. The GTX x60 GPUs outrank the GTX x70s on steam's hardware thingy. So prepare for an even worse "out of stock" crisis.

Where did you see that, Techy? As I'm looking at the Steam survey, the GTX 970 is probably the best selling GPU of all time, with about a +50% sales edge over the #2 GTX 960.

There are even reports out that there actually is no shortage of Pascal GPUs, and rather the cards are just selling amazingly well.

Oh really? Man I'm behind the times LOL. I keep remembering the GTX 660 as the #1 card, but that was years ago.

Well that's been one of the issues with AMDs "strategy" to conquer the mainstream market. The majority of the growth has been in the high-end segment. The mainstream market has been shrinking along with the rest of the general PC market. I still think it's less of a strategy than it is a capitulation.

 

[king3pj]

Just to follow up with the last couple posts... The GTX 970 is the most popular GPU on Steam according to the latest hardware survey page.

Edit: They have the entire R9 200 series listed as one GPU and even with counting all of them together it is #11 on the list and I don't even see r9 300 series on the page.

 

[James Mason]

Nvidia is pretty much going "why wait to counter act AMDs announcement of GPUs when we can just beat them before they get to the table."
