Its actually two cards one for 199 which is 4GB and 250 for 8GB. The guys at Neogaf stated that there may be another card at a higher price through their research.

What do you think Nividia next step will be? Have to admit AMD is impressing everyone with Direct X 12/Mantle etc...
nvidia will release a Titan version and then an ti version of their Pascal cards. They aren't competing with AMD on price at this point. They'll have a 1060, which will be cheap, but they really own the high end market

I want to believe, but they almost killed me years ago with their hype and not delivering time and time again.

Doubt AMD, brehs :wow:

They got the surplus from this generation systems.

I think multiple GPUs are the future especially for technology where you want a large consumer adoption. As I stated before Nividia is high as shyt for no reason If i purchase the Titan I would be pissed the fukk off

:lupe:

I was going to go for the 1070 but with this news I might buy two RX 480s.
you're better off with a single card. sli/crossfire is only really worth it if you wanna push the limits with two top-tier cards

SLI/CF is going the way of the dodo. More and more games are coming out with shyt support for it or not at all. I've multi-gpu'd since 2010 and gave that shyt up earlier this year. I am now on the single card wave. Maybe it will be a thing for VR though.

Release a 1060 and shyt on their parade?

Only down fall about AMD cards is they tend to heat up a lot which means u have to upgrade your cooling system and they run at high voltage power which means u need to upgrade your power supply and their cards can over work your cpu. I used to get cpu warnings when i had my 290x card so i upgraded to a gtx 970 and never looked back

Any news on the 1060? I wonder will this require Nividia to drop their prices on their other cards.

It won't be worth it. The 1070 or 1080 is were you wanna go for 4K gaming. The 1060, if it's like the 960, will be under-powered, but cheap. Since you game at 4K, I'd say get a 1080. I got 2 coming tomorrow :lupe::blessed:

You game at too high of a resolution to fukk with 1060s.
