That's where I'm at. But remember most people are far too lazy for constant upkeep. The vast majority of people I know on PC gaming do not sell their old computer hardware at all, which blows my mind. I usually buy something hold it for a few years and then sell to upgrade. It really is as you say a rental program. I bought two 770's about 7 months prior to the 970 launch and sold them right before the 970 launch for a loss of like $30 per card on Amazon. It was really nice. Then I sold my 4670k, motherboard , PSU and case that I had been using for two years and used it to fund my 5820k build. I really only lost about $200 total on that trade upgrade too. I'm quite invested in upkeep of my hobby and the best current bang for buck options too and search out the best deals as opposed to my buddies who just sit on their hardware for long periods of time. I know that I'm the exception though, not the rule.
That means DX12 is not a thing yet and there is little to no advantage over DX11 while the engine not start getting being made in DX12 from the ground.
And performance changes from game to game and you can't compare different games when trying to make a point about which card runs a better patched API.

Where are people reselling hardware like that? ebay? craigslist?
Eh, that's not true. And the rumors suggest $250 for the 3GB version. How viable is that for a 2016 card. :/Boss★Moogle;208721100 said:A lot of people in here act as if the GTX 1060 doesn't exist.

No, there's an event scheduled for July 7.They announced the release date of the 1060 already?

Looks nice.So, I just got the XFX variant from Micro Center earlier today and I popped it in. Ran DDU beforehand and installed the latest drivers. This card is exactly what I expected. I needed something that output much less heat in my room than my previous 290X and even with the blower cooler, this card absolutely delivers on that front.
I'm getting great ambient temps from the card while playing Witcher 3. On chip temps are a different story, especially since I overclocked the card (see pic). General temps are in the 80s. I plan on replacing the thermal paste with some Arctic MX-4 to see if that helps. I'm still going to pick up an aftermarket version of this card for myself in the future and give this card to my sister. It should be a massive boost from her 2008 Nvidia Quatro graphics in her laptop lol.
I don't think it's silly at all. I'd at least like to see the comparisons as well. Contrary to popular belief on GAF, most people on PC only upgrade their GPU every 3-5 years. However these websites wanted to get these out quick with limited time and resources and it focused on the bleeding edge of hardware. Plus I guess they figure people will just extrapolate and compare to existing benches.
The strawman pc gamer put forth by some people in here:
-doesn't play cpu intensive games (so doesn't like pc exclusives , mmos or open world games guess)
-has a kickass cpu but had no money left for a gpu
-is not interested in playing that large majority of dx11 games in the coming years or how those perform
-is not interested in how the entire pc gaming backlog performs
-does not give a hoot about frame pacing
I don't believe this is representative of the average pc gamer at all.
These two people are talking about ghosts as I don't see this being put forth at all.Boss★Moogle;208721100 said:A lot of people in here act as if the GTX 1060 doesn't exist.

No, nothing official yet, just the usual sketchy rumours from wccftech and videocardz citing Chinese websites.
There is this event on the 7th of July, but that could be anything.
I didn't go through every game but this one stook out a bit as it had plenty of cards.

All in all, this seems like a really solid card for around $200.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=208678794&postcount=64Source? I only see WCCF tech saying it's rumored they will unveil it. Then there's the supposedly photoshopped 1060 image from a Chinese website.
It doesn't exist and will not be out in 2 weeks. It may be announced in 2 weeks but it won't be released.

One thing I find odd in this list, my 7970 overclocked to Ghz levels doesn't seem to hit 64fps in GTA V o.o But then again I never tested it under Windows 10 with the newest drivers so the difference might stem from that.
Quoting this for safe keeping

Please do, and i'll keep this one.
P.S. if its a paper launch like 1070/80 I'm still right.

That looks awesome. I remember the leaked pictures having a silver color. Really like the black better.Sapphire RX480

Seems like a nice card for the price, but the performance per watt is kind of underwhelming. It's more efficient than a 970, but barely. Still, performance is a big improvement over existing $200-250 cards. Hope 1060 offers similar value.

That's great if true
Other reviews with custom coolers put on it that I saw couldn't get past 1350 though

It it does reliably do 1425 mhz with a custom cooler then the value proposition goes way up
Hey guys, I just wanted to pop in here and say that the XFX 480 does come with a backplate. Might explain why it's $10 more on sites like Newegg.
1060 is rumored to have a 192 bit memory bus, whether that means anything is to be seen. Supposedly thats why its going to be 3 or 6 GB.
They're also using a Core i7 5960X (Haswell-E) @ 4.4 GHz
So have to keep that in mind as well.
Whelp I was hoping the 480 was going to be better at 1440P so it looks like I'll have to get the 1070.
This is the funny thing now, there's a massive hole in the market at $300.
I dont understand this. It would make a killing.

Has there been anything on the 470 yet? Can't seem to find much on it.
Has anyone tested the Video encoder on this graphics card? Can it finally do 1080P 60fps high quality streaming for steam link with no issues?
It will get filled by 1060 and maybe some high end 480 OC cards.
