Go for it. Just remember buy ori games. Steam sales now. Dont be like the douche I read in FB group that have the RM3K to buy one but cant afford games and downloading cracks instead. Can afford car, cant afford petrol.

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.

Voltage locked to 1.25V, irregardless of FE or AIB. To OC, you need to bump up the core and memory frequency, to bump up frequency you need to pump in more voltage, you hit a brick wall at 1.25V no matter how cool your 1080 is under air or under water.

In the end, it's all about fat cards with bling-bling RGBs with pre-OC frequencies out of the factory, or get slim FE cards and OC it yourself. You play the silicon lottery: you lucky on the FE, you get 2088Mhz on core clock like I got. You unlucky on the AIB cards, you cant even get past 2050Mhz, no matter how high it was pre-OCed out of the factory.

Gamers Nexus got their frankensteined 1080 FE slapped with AIO liquid cooling up to 2164Mhz, but if 76Mhz is all Im getting for a liquid cooler, no thanks.

Because it overclocks poorly, and ASUS has the tendency to overprice as well, maybe that's why nobody wanna stock this model?

Try Palit or Leadtek.
I have no choice but to go reference due to the Raven's SFF case. Even if there are "slim" AIB models with two fans for example, I'm not interested in cooking my SFF case internals, versus the blower-style FE card.

2016 already and people still never learn, still want to convert the announced SRP for upcoming graphics card to MYR with exchange rate.

Dream on guys, it doesn't work that way. I has never been direct conversion since the 1990s and it won't be even now.

Your best bet to avoid disappointment is to multiply it by 5.2.
SRP x exchange rate x 1.3 (add 30%, at a bare minimum).

One of the good times. Not always the good times.

Are there any informative discussion forums other than HardForum or Overclock.net that I can refer to, with regards to the new Titan X performance, and if/should I get one or two for SLI. Even those forums had degenerated into mudslinging, with fanboys of the same camp calling names to those who can afford and/or want to get the new Titan X. 4K60Hz on a single card is an important metric and this card may be able to do so.

Don't really care about full fat GP102, or GP100 with HBM, unless you wanna pay more than what already is. All I need is 4K60Hz without having to jump through SLI hoops.

Seeing that this may finally be a 4K60Hz card at all maxed out, I may not need another one, but if I miss out on the August 2nd purchase window, stock may be gone and would be even worse than the current GTX1080 situation. SLI situation aren't encouraging either in DX12/Vulkan/OpenGL, wouldn't want that second Titan X idling doing nothing but occasional PhysX. 

I guess I should wait till August 2nd, but that's cutting it to short to the launch/purchase window.

What is frankeinstein 1080 project?
