Don Lapre posted:PC Perspective says the FE 1060 is only going to be on nvidia.com so all other cards on newegg and poo poo should all be custom coolers I'm betting that decision has more to do with card availability at a price competitive with the RX480 than anything. Nvidia skimmed cream off with the 1080 FE and 1070 FE price premium at launch, and gently caress their board partners because the AIB makers have no choice but to smile and take it. Now that their expected mid-tier price point got pushed down and the 3GB tier disappeared entirely, they need to actually compete, and the result is the AIB makers have the clout to get chips first, passing that along to consumers.

Regardless, im glad to see it (mostly) be gone. Easily the most negative criticism of pascal, supply is supply but milking money on reference cards was lame as poo poo. You'd have basically no chance convincing me it wasn't a huge part of the reason 1070's listed so much higher than the supposed MSRP, effectively creating a marketable lower price that hasn't existed yet. I know it'll drop once the AIB's start undercutting each other, but I hated it. Unrelated but I found this very interesting, although not unexpected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44JqNJq-PC0

Phlegmish posted:How many of you already have a 1070 or 1080? Wonder when the worst is going to be over. I have an MSI Gaming 8G, the cheaper one (paid $420 shipped or something), and mine at least ocs as well as the more expensive one with higher stock speeds. It's quiet as well. I guess at 100% fan settings the volume picks up a tiny bit and is the loudest thing in my case by a slight bit, but my case is very quiet and the loudest thing that isn't the gpu is some stock 120mm case fans at 800rpm or so. But there's no reason to run 100% fan settings unless you are benchmarking. And it's not loud-loud, about a handful of db higher than an arctic accelero II. The card runs really cool. Like sub 60c with the highest stable oc under full load if you have an aggressive fan profile cool. Khorne fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Jul 7, 2016 |

quote:Belgium still has no 1070/1080 AIB stock whatsoever still. But then when I go look at webstores in Germany (neighbouring country), they have 10+ stock on almost every single version.. On top of that they are usually around 40€ cheaper I bought mine (1070 MSI Gaming X) from Germany last week. The Krauts haven't left the EU yet, profit while you can.

Beyond the inferiority of the reference blower, from what I read on Tom's Hardware's RX480 power analysis the card is actually set up so that it has more power draw on the slot than on the supplementary connector when the phases are evenly balanced. This suggests that running the slot under 75W with a reference design requires either unbalanced phases or running the entire card well under 150W. For that reason, Gonkish posted:I think pretty much all of us are waiting on the non-reference boards, and considering that they're taking their sweet time with that... This because I'm hoping to see a reasonably priced AIB model with an 8-pin and an open cooler, and now considering a 1060 also since the 6GB @ $250 price point is appealing and maybe we won't have to wait as long for non-blower coolers. I could stretch for the 1070 but don't like how the MSRP is totally fictional, so hoping to see more good ~$400 AIB open cooler models there.

I did before the problems came out, due to savings with free sync monitor, dx 12 gains in Deus Ex and Warhammer, and not wanting to wait. I'm gonna keep it because exchanging it would be too much of a hassle.

I want to see corroboration from other sites on this, but That actually makes perfect sense (and was reported before). The default voltage is set so the majority of chips pass the test at the stock MHz. If you get lucky with silicon, and it runs stable even with lowered voltage, you now have a card that uses less current, hence produces less heat, hence has more thermal headroom for boosting.

SwissArmyDruid posted:...How is it performing *better* in some cases with compatibility mode on? Undervolting improving performance has been something that's discussed for the last week or so. Undervolting lowers the heat output so cards are able to hit their 1266 boost more consistently. So basically, I have no clue why AMD overvolted the card as hard as they did, other than traditional AMD incompetence.

Undervolting lowers the heat output so cards are able to hit their 1266 boost more consistently. Well, its really Global Foundries incompetence (which they retain from their days as part of AMD). The prevailing wisdom is that they were forced to pick a high voltage to salvage the substantial quantities that wouldn't work at the targeted frequency without higher voltage. They just decided to use the same voltage on all the chips. PBCrunch fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jul 7, 2016 |

There seriously should be a night and day difference between reference trainwreck edition and most custom AIB solutions for the RX480 that'll do all this at the assembly stage.

Just ordered my acx 3.0 1070. It was the one I wanted and it took 3-4 days of checking nowinstock periodically to get it on newegg (where I pay no tax), not bad at all. I could have gotten a gigabyte or MSI basically within a couple hours of checking. Anyone claiming there is no 1070 stock doesn't know what they are talking about. Stores are getting stock every few hours, the demand is just pretty high.

So the 1060 will be sold for ~$250 for the 6GB model but how long to wait for 1060s with nice custom coolers? I'm thinking late August.  Unless custom RX480 8GB cards are somehow going to be a much better value I'm going to get a 1060 probably an ASUS 1060 because my ASUS 660Ti has been a good trooper for me for over 3 years now.
