GTX950 with no power connector, let me know if you want to sell it.

Therein lies the caveat: "games that scales on CFX/SLI". You're banking on the hope that CFX/SLI works, when it doesnt you're back with 1 card and worse still, you card is midrange. That is why one single powerful > two midrange. There is still that problem with framepacing that remains. ""It's not about how fast you go, it's how well you go fast!" You can go fast by adding two engines instead of one, but if the ride is bumpy as hell, you're not gonna enjoy it compared to a more powerful single engine.

By the 11th year of ownership I think the owner would feel that he had his worth full of high contrast deep blacks beautiful colors, instead of those who jumped in late. Remember, you cant put a price on experience, you can put a price on tangible items. If how much you value that experience that made people jump in first and be a pioneer.




I'm not defending Nvidia, it's a crappy move to remove SLI on the 1060. The cards (1080, 1070 and 1060) are tiered nicely to reflect their performance, and this is unlike previous x60 cards (960, 760, 660) which are basically budget throwaway performance cards. An X60 card that matches last gen's high end performance, when usually it's the x70 card that does that.

I plan to stay with SLI as well, albeit 2-way with 1080Ti or Titan Pascal instead of three-way Titan X now. I've had my headaches optimizing for my three-way SLI rig, that I can only tolerate the more supported two-way now than what I'm using currently.

You sold your GTX970 SLI for RM 1,200 (RM 600 each)?

Your estimation is a bit wrong. CFX or SLI is less flexible. Why RX480 drop to RM 700 but GTX1070 stays at RM 2,000? Maybe it can drop to RM 1,400?

Buying new
Buy RX480 - RM 1299
Buy RX480 - RM 1299
Total used = RM 1299 + RM 1299 = RM 2598

Buy RX480 - RM 1299
Sell RX480 - RM 700
Buy GTX1070 - RM 1999 (If 11 series comes out, then stock clearance cheaper)
OR GTX1160 - RM 1500 but performance like GTX1070 ??
Total used = RM 1299 - RM 700 + RM 1999 = RM 2598
Total used = RM 1299 - RM 700 + RM 1500 = RM 2198 (theoretical GTX1160)

Buying 2nd hand
Buy Rx480 = RM 1299
Buy 2nd hand RX480 = RM 700
Total used RM 1299 + RM 700 = RM 1999

Buy RX480 = RM 1299
Sell RX480 = RM 700
Buy 2nd hand GTX1070 = RM 1400
Total used = RM 1299 - RM 700 + RM 1400 = RM 1999

Wah so free to do mathematics.

Anyway for me I feel that 1060 without SLI is fine. GTX 960 with SLI never made it, no reason to buy GTX 960 SLI when GTX 970 does better overall.

Same goes to 1060. Better off selling it and get a GTX 1070.

This is nothing compared to the amount of misinformation I had to correct, spewed by people in FB groups, which has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. I had one question asking whether he can put Christmas lights inside his rig instead of LED strip. And he's not joking. Another guy asks what is 980, 1080 and 4K. And the worst?



I wept when I read that.

It's only what's expected from us Asian, to be able to do math at 1 AM. Not planning to disappoint.

fb is unregulated /k lahhhh

holy crap

I dont see why add an old gen card for 'some' performance boost, not too sure but I dont think price would drop 50% after one year.
I would rather sold it while price not too low and upgrade to new single card that could match dual SLI/CF or beat it.
You also need to sell TWO card during your next upgrade, but 2 gen behind card worth much less. You're suffer previous gen performance on the 2nd year as well.

Hence why I'd appreciate it that these folks keep it in their FB, and not in enthusiast forum like these. I regard everyone here with higher standards than "unregulated /k"

don't think so unless they got the stock earlier
but don't worry, gemfive always got different voucher to apply

whelp, faith in Nvidia drivers has disappeared again

was testing latest driver, 368.69 and lo and behold, "Nvidia display driver has crashed" when playing either Dark Souls 3 or Witcher 3

downgraded to 365.10 and same shit

went back 358.87 and things back to normal

demmit Nvidia!

have you?



well this is info according to what lowyat reported, below is the article i'm referring to

gst... 1mdb.... brexit... currency exchange...


but in a nutshell as comparison


cutesniper made another explanation for it

Sure above 1K quite some. Always not work as per direct conversion. I wont be surprise if they price FE at 1.5K during launch, you know la typical cut throat price to early adopter

I think I see the official price for GTX1060 is USD 249

Haha nice

means need some settings ya? can u elaborate it? sorry i'm noob about resolution..

i don't think the 1060 is going to beat the 980. Here's why.

760 never beat the 680

960 never beat the 780

its a logical move for nVidia to keep their product stack streamlined so that people know what to expect in next line of cards.

Its basically the same with the x80Ti as well

970 was similar to 780Ti
1070 is similar to 980Ti.

The is a pattern to nVidia's relase so its quite predictable.

Ouch, latest drivers not working for your 780?
