If it's RM1300, RX480 is dead. RM1500? Still looks like a good deal than the RX480, provided that 980 performance claim is true. Because custom AIB RX480 is already 250 Pound Sterling, that's clocking at RM1400. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapphire-rad...-gx-37b-sp.html

More updates on the GTX 1060:





- shorter PCB
- a proper placed 6-pin power connector, finally
- no SLI support

That's how a leak turned into a raging flood, the NVIDIA style.

I personally think SLI is coming to a dead end in few years time. When developers embraces DX12/vulcan pool gpu allocation. Nvidia quick to realize this.

They probably killed SLI on this so that it does not cannibalize the sale of GTX1070. The performance difference between this and GTX1070 is probably closer this time, and two of these in SLI may not look favorable for the GTX1070.

OR two of these is cheaper than 1 x GTX1080, for the same or better performance than a GTX1080. So, no SLI for you!

Disclaimer: educated guess.

Or this may be the 3GB SLI-less version, and Nvidia is keeping the SLI only available on 6GB model.

60fps 4k inkambeng

With regards to why the 6-pin is located so far out of the PCB:



May post a problem if you wanna liquid cool this.

If it's RM1300 then AMD will have to lower RX480's price

Yeah I think the no-SLi on this is not an issue.

Lower the RX480 price to its ACTUAL US-equivalent retail price of RM850-950? AMD fans rejoice!

They may be keeping the SLI version for 6GB. More memory buffer for gaming at higher than 1080p with SLI profiles helping on higher framerates (when SLI is working that is ), and for the 3GB, they may be keeping it as 1080p gaming only. And the 3GB in limited quantity compared to the 6GB, just like RX480's 4GB/8GB distribution.

OR two of these is cheaper than 1 x GTX1080, for the same or better performance than a GTX1080. So, no SLI for you!

Yeah that's a good RM400 right there

But I really doubt the gtx1060 is gonna be rm1300. Maybe the 3GB one.

years back i personally think the existing of 960 is only nvidia smart strategy to boost 970 sales due to its exceptional price/performance ratio.. 960 is just another yard stick to justify it.. i guess, history will repeat with 1060 and 1070 lol!

any opinions?

an asus strix oc is 400+ difference.... only for 10% performance gain....

considering all the marked up prices i may just go with the FE since ironically it's cheaper.... but is this is good price compared to whats available :/ ?

just spotted this
http://www.ocdrift.com/review-palit-geforc...ium-edition/12/

basically more performance than FE and cheaper too. but i don't know if there is any compatible waterblocks for it


other msrp prices i saw for malaysia


http://www.tech-critter.com/2016/06/asus-r...s-malaysia.html


Price gauge

palit aib oc (better performance than FE) < founder edition (smaller size which fits better in smaller cases? also uses a blower fan) < asus strix oc (best oc performance, also compatible with third party waterblocks but cost the most)

Get ready for more powah from Nvidia. Coming in August, the Titan P!

Later got Founders Edition price again

Let's do a simple conversion here

Nvidia 1070
USD375 = RM2399
Conversion ratio = 6.4

AMD 480 pricing:

USD199 = RM1299
Conversion ratio = 6.5

Nvidia 1060 launching price would be USD250. So I'm guessing price would be RM1599

The USD199 rx480 is the 4GB version though. RM1300 is 8GB, I think it's retailing around USD240.

But yeah I think that's a good way to roughly estimate the price over here.

Is the USD250 gtx1060 3GB version or 6?

Don't go based on AMD la.

Go based on GTX 1070 / 1080 announced price vs actual price.

It's about 5.5 to 6x range.

USD250 is just based on speculated rumour launching price, could be somewhere between USD240 - USD260.

So I'm guessing its around RM1599 - 1699 when it reaches our shore.

At RM 1699 confirm no one will buy because most of the AIB models are around RM 2k - 2.2k range.

Smart indeed Might as well get the cheapest 1070.

When is the TI coming out
