so when 1060 will be in malaysia store?and when is custom partner going to be in store

It's just me. Cannot even stand the heat pumped out from my ASUS 980 stock after, say, an hour of gaming unless I switch on the aircon. And 980 is only about 160w!!!

Of course, if switch on aircon, 300w also no problem

I rather look at it from what performance I can get now, rather in the next 2 years. Game engines gets more complex as we move into the future and that comes with performance penalties. Performance drops are inevitable even with driver optimization: the hardware spec is static but the needs is evolving/increasing. Unless you're willing to chase specs and upgrade every year, there's reasonable expectations that one day in the future a game will come that you can never play at your set resolution and settings anymore. When it comes to 980Ti vs 1070, you're buying more time for that scenario with the 1070.

July 19 onwards.

Pascal with its dynamic load balancing will be more efficient compared to GTX980Ti. It handles overlapping workloads (graphic + compute) better than Maxwell. It is more resilient towards badly optimized code compared to Maxwell (i.e. long running compute task)

There's also the Simultaneous Projection thing.

It is a more refined Maxwell.

So IMO GTX1070 is a better choice.

oh shit this date .my gpu will be back from rma i hope...so that i can might be safe from buying it

I'd ordered one 2 days ago. Waiting for it to ship.

If Chiphell is anything reliable to go with:

Just pulled the trigger...now waiting...

Good luck to both of us.. Lol...

Can't wait for it to arrive.

Hopefully the supply of the 1060 will be better than how it was with the 1070 and 1080

Great deal you guys got there.

If true, then RIP RX480

oh boy pity to RX 480 if this benchmark is true

but need to wait for price as well

Yeah....I guess the RX480 was the catalyst for Nvidia to release the 1060 to market much earlier. Strategically, I would have held off on the release if not for the RX480, so that the market can first absorb the 1070 and 1080. I read somewhere that AMD is now rushing to bring to market the Vega quicker. I really hope they do so that Nvidia can then bring on the 1080TI quicker in response

I used to have my rule of buying GPU not more than RM1000. That time, mid range GPU can handle all games with highest setting on my puny 1440x900
Now upgrading monitor resolution = more burden on GPU

Thanks both sifu, guess I'll hold a bit for 1070 to drop price or promotion.

True or not true, RX 480 already RIP la.

I havent felt exciting for graphic card release for long time. Last few years, felt like nVidia always king and AMD always lower price.

Only hope it's that exciting for our market to have price war pls maybe dream too far

Can't kill what is already dead

It was doing OK actually but that power draw issue hit it really hard. GTX 1060 news just adds nail to the coffin.

I liked the RX 480, and I still do. However I'm just speaking realistically, RX 480 is dead as it is unless the price is reduced.

I doubt anyone's going to buy RX 480 when GTX 1060 is already announced. That's not to say the RX 480 is not good, it is excellent as what it is but green camp looks like going to counter it by being even better.
