Lol, that has to be the biggest manipulation of a graph ever. Nice work Asus - make your product look 250% faster when it is only about 5% faster.

Why do TPU videos get so many dislikes?

They can't contain the sexiness of the speaker.

ASUS may not be the only ones preparing to launch with Pascal.
Razer has this benchmark out there:

Of course being 6Gb kind of gives away it's not the 1080.

1070 SLI is looking good.. i recon i could sell my pair of 980 TI cards for about the same money as a pair of 1070 cards would cost.. maybe take a slight hit in performance but have a computer again instead of a room heater.. he he

Clearly in this case it's his shirt.

Thought that was obvious breh.

Might be harder than you think - any one with their head on straight isn't going to pay 980 TI prices with the new cards now out. That's why I sent my TI back.

He was wearing a shirt? Didn't notice

dunno.. a used 980 ti will fetch close to the price of a new 1070 i think.. hard to predict exactly what is going to happen until it does.. i aint going to see a performance increase short of buying two 1080 cards.. that would cost way too much.. a power saving gain with a pair of 1070 cards might be do-able without much of a financial outlay..

oddly enough the power saving option does interest me..

i do recon 1070 SLI is gonna be the popular option for a lot of folks.

The only things you'd get is less power usage and probably more vram.

The hell are you scouting? You combined the annoying overused periods with a southern accent or something of that horrid nature.

all very true.. he he

i may be out of line here but similar (maybe a tad less) performance with a 250 watt power saving does interest me..

i see pascal low power usage has its big feature.. smaller cases.. no need for water expensive water cooling.. less fan noise and heat.. if i fault my current system in any way its overly high power usage along with the heat and noise that go with it just to get decent gaming performance..

a pair of 1070 cards in SLI mode would get rid of all my current niggles..

what does "scouting" mean.. ??..

trog

ps.. i am assuming the partners will come up with a better (quieter) cooling solution than nvidias single fan blower..

My comment might be slightly off in that I was speaking on higher grade /versions of the TI, such as the AIO liquid cooler or the OC models which could easily fetch another $100 or 150 Euros.
You are correct about 980TI vs 1070.

Got a source for that?^^

Better yet got a point to prove with it? Besides being a mere annoyance.

Yay! R9 490X!!! Big whoop. You think you're smart or something? We know it's coming. When is the only real question. Not very soon is the answer.
Unfortunately.

Why don't you quit being such a troll already? Contribute something of real value. Or take a hike. You are not wanted here. Get that through your head. All you do is piss people off. Soon enough you will get banned for it...again. Get a clue.

Never knew a lone picture can cause so much inner hatred.

8-pin + 6-pin or is it 2x 8-pin. either way it better have the performance

It has nothing to do with a picture. It has to do with the display of an arrogant and disrespectful attitude. Combined with a propensity for utter ignorance in ~~speech~~ written communication. Thankfully not shown in this instance. Yet certainly implied with the

.

Furthermore the hatred is not inner. Nor is it even existent. I specified annoyance. Try reading more carefully next time. Or just look words up in the dictionary if you're unsure of their meanings. I don't appreciate the accusation.

What, no GTX1070 in that graph?
To be fair it should also include the standard for 4K gaming from 3D MarK, which is the GTX980 in SLI.
Not saying those figures are wrong, but..... I have been watching some interesting figures go through.

All I see is GTX 1080 beats crossfired something.

Well played nem, you certainly taught those meanies Nvidia a lesson.
