Keep it in manual for the AIDA stress test and burn in... when that's successfully done, then change it to adaptive based on your value.

Wait, are we supposed to ignore the leaks and wait for the real benchmarks to hit after the NDA is lifted? Or lose our shit?

 

Seems like the lost and found is full of shit in this topic. And salt. 

Need's more tequila and lime!!!!

You're using a standard 2-way sli bridge, but not the recommended for the gtx 1000 series. That's why you're getting bad framerates, I guess.

It's been proven in below 4K settings, there's little to no difference between older and new HB SLI bridges on the 10x0 cards...

I wonder why i have stuttering in games. Im using only 1 standard asrock 2way bridge. Is my bridge problem or power (Watts).

Thank you for reading!

Which games are stuttering? Might be known SLI issues with them...

Just another reason I will never bother with SLI/CFX...

I actually use afterburner as well, although voltage control doesn't actually do anything at this point with pascal, not sure why.

Need the latest beta to get the Pascal stuff...

It's inefficient in it's own right though. It would be much better using those motherboard lanes that most people don't even use up in the first place.

And it's a AMD patented process... Nvidia can't use it....

Here's another leak, directly from 3DMark results. Seems promising as this is stock with Graphic score of 2906, which is stock 390x territory.

LOL... mkay...

RX 480 vs my EVGA GTX 980 Classified as out of the box...

What does a 970M have to do with anything? We are talking a 860M...

All your claims about what things can and can't do... So what's wrong with mine?

@wildthing, nice review...

just for comparison with an OC'd EVGA 980 Classified

Oh, no. It's replacing the 980 Ti as it costs more than the 980 Ti and FAR more than the 980. 980 launched at 550$ for a reference board. 980 ti at 650$. 1080 at 700$

U huh, yeah...

Then I call double the bullshit. Nvidia vBIOS locks the 860M to a max OC of 1215 core. Anything more without a modded vBIOS IS. NOT. POSSIBLE.

Says the Nvidia expert...

Sure the 1080 is great but it's really replacing the 980 Ti and it runs mostly about 10 fps over that.  Certainly not worth the extra $200 or more you'd need to spend. Keep the 980 Ti 1 more year and I'd bet something else comes out to beat the 1080's pants off. Then when everyone is selling the 1080, buy it with 1 year on it... not bad...  that's how I think at least.

Correction, replacing the 980, not the Ti.

This might be a little repetitive and might have been posted already but just in case here ya go,

 

 

 

Better than NVIDIA right now...

 

NVIDIA really needs to get their shit together... 

 

LOL... AIB/retailer price gouging... not Nvidia's MSRP...

So show the retailer pages with pricing for the RX 4X0's...

My main questions. Does it sound like a hairdryer? And is its cooler quieter than the Gigabyte Windforce x3?

As I don't own a Windforce... wouldn't know the difference.

For me it's not loud at all... I'm still running stock fan profiles as they come from EVGA.

Because, even without the Fanboy Edition and price going up because of supply and demand, a 314mm2 chip does not cost $550 nor does it 25% cut down cost $379.

Cool, so not answering my question. Is there any proof that Nvidia themselves are the culprits or as I mentioned, the rest of the supply chain being greedy?

It's very easy to blame Nvidia for everything that's wrong in the world... but there's a lot of other vultures on the carcass.

Also, Nvidia is price gouging as usual and idiots are lapping it up.

How sure are you it's Nvidia and not the supply channel partners and/or retailers just making an opportunistic buck?
