6GB. 249USD for AIB pricing although they almost always never price it at MSRP. Fair enough to guesstimate that the price may fall in between 249 and 299 for AIB, and upwards of 299 for pre-OC version.

Biggest question ever is: is this gonna get jacked up in price locally like the RX480 does?

To make this 1060 enticing, Nvidia is now pressure to price it significantly lower than the RM1999. If it's too close, people will either go 480 or 1070.

Gigabyte itchy already, kenot tahan, they announce the G1 Gaming 1060 already.

Reference PCB to go liquid cooling. Waterblocks are almost always made for reference PCBs. Custom PCBs either only have the cores liquid cooled and VRM exposed, or looks unappealing because of non-FE custom PCB design.

Nvidia going for the kill. Release 1080Ti and Titan Pascal, and they covered all the bases.

Pricewise:

Below RM1299, RX480 is dead. AMD have to drop price of the RX480. Early adopter will be pissed.
RM1299, it's a wash, can go either way, depending on actual benchmark.
Close to or at RM1999, buyers jump to GTX1070.

Next 24 hours will be exciting indeed. The only way Nvidia can screw this up is if the GTX1060 falls flat on its face in terms of performance, or priced wayyyyyy higher than RM1999 locally.

If it's true no SLI, it's pointing towards performance of two of these 1060s in SLI challenging the 1080, and jeaopardizing the sale of 1070. Still good news to Nvidia, and good chance that this 1060 will actually be 980 in Pascal form.

Future upgrade. They buy one now, and can only afford another later.

They lose out on selling out the first card, and had to top up more to get the 1070. All these depends on how cheap/expensive the 1060 actually is. There's a "tipping point".

there's also the pressing matter of "I held off too long with this <insert shitty card here>, I need to upgrade now, but I only have enough to buy a 1060".

There are many kinds of "interesting".

If Nvidia priced the 1060 at RX480, watch AMD squirm. Then only the AMD users will get the RX480 they deserve, at the right price of RM850-950 after price drop, rather than RM1299 now. It took AMD a push from Nvidia to force them to correct the price of their RX480 to the right value. How the tables have turned!

It's official!

USD249. RX480 suddenly feel uncomfortable.

For 10 dollars extra, you get a 980 stock performance in Pascal form.

Yeah, that's worth reprimanding Nvidia over. Not cool, NV, not cool.

It was a response for not having SLI fingers. I don't think 3GB cut it these days with games eating VRAM for breakfast even at 1080p.

Oh man, if it's 1320, watch AMD immediately dropping price of RX480. Lol hilarious that it's the other way round: an Nvidia card is what it takes to drop an overpriced AMD card. The world has gone upside down indeed!

Even more pressure locally to price the 1060 now below that RM1789 price. GTX1060 now between 1299 and 1789.

Everyone has their tolerance level and how much they can "overclock" their wallets hehehehehe.

Some can only overclock level 1060 price only. some can "squeeze" extra "overclock" for GTX1070 like you suggested.

It's a clearance sale. How many 980Ti you think they have until no more stock? It'll be RIP 980Ti once stock finish.

Google la. SMH http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_g..._review,16.html

double post. And already at right place. Confused, thought I was at the AMD section.

At reference 980Ti for RM1599, even the RX480 feels inadequate at RM1299. While stocks last though, which almost always means less than 10 units available.
