in fact, scratch that, just seen an MSI 1080 aero for $449 with the rebate on the US newegg. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127944

I can buy a 1080 right now brand new for £450 in the UK, so a few dollars more in the US given the current exchange rate even before the inevitable price crash when the 11xx cards come out, so yes it is.

by who? you said yourself that you have two different cards from 2 manufacturers that use completely different drivers. You can't use AMD drivers on an NVIDIA card or vice versa. and it's also possible it can be as simple as a setting on one that is slightly different to another. It's entirely possible that the 1060 just handles shaded textures in that particular game ever so slightly better to the 580. That's not a bug, it's just 2 different cards giving slightly different end results. Now if you had 2 1060s or 2 580s side by side and 1 of them gave different results with identical settings then that is a bug, not this.

most modern militaries don't draft period, including the US and UK which are widely regarded as among the very best capabilities in the world. so no, it's not irrelevant.

the 1060 is 2 years old at this point, and looking likely to have the 11xx cards released within the next month or two, the 1170 will almost certainly have a comparable performance to a 1080 or even a 1080ti depending on the sort of limits Nvidia build into them for a lower MSRP at launch than both of those cards had at theirs. He also said soon enough, not a specific date, and 'soon enough' in computer terms isn't actually that long in terms of shelflife for electronics, I'd say within a year would be a reasonable assumption.

it also has a different angle of attack in comparison to the sun on the horizon.

actually it is exactly how it works, a gtx1060 at $300 now, or even cheaper at launch in fact, performance wise is reasonably comparable to a 780ti which was $699 MSRP at launch if not better on most benchmark comparisons.

and a century ago in WWI when men from all over Europe were conscripted en-masse it was the women that had to fill in previous male-only jobs in factories, farms and the like. That's why gender roles started changing and women were recognised as being more than capable of doing jobs as well as washing clothes and raising babies. Simply put, your mindset is a century out of date.

you also don't need to be 6'6'' and built like the Rock just to join the Army, certainly not when the Army has more roles than frontline infantry. You are right in one thing, you don't have to be a frontline soldier to be dragged into combat, and you also don't need to be a man to pull a trigger or reload a rifle. Women are just as capable of killing an enemy soldier as a man is.

so you're saying times have changed in the 73 years since the end of WWII? Women are every bit as capable of flying a jet, driving a tank or pulling a trigger as men. Depriving your own armed forces talent pool of 50% of the population is a monumentally boneheaded idea, regardless of your view on gender roles. Men can fail selection for the Armed Forces just the same as women can. It's about getting the right people. and Also in WW2, and later in Korea and Vietnam conscript soldiers actually hurt unit performance far more than anything else, it's why modern well trained militaries much prefer volunteers to conscripts.

wait, so now women can't be physically fit? is that why women never compete in any professional or Olympic sport?

stock coolers is one thing Intel really should learn from AMD on, afterall most people will only ever use a stock cooler, be it a self build or a pre-build piece of rubbish from a mass-manufacturer like acer or dell and the like, just like the toothpaste they use in their chips it seems counter-intuitive to me that Intel don't improve these areas for much better thermals right from the start, as it's their reputation and performance that takes the hit when thermal throttling starts.

haha no problems mate, just got the wrong end of the stick myself regarding stresstesting, a hyper 212 should be perfectly fine with that cpu, and as I mentioned earlier as long as temps while gaming/rendering/whatever they plan on doing don't starting hitting certain thresholds there shouldn't be any real problems on their end as you say unless it's a bad mount, but typically they show up pretty quickly anyway even in normal use.

No problem, and thank you both for replying on a Sunday, Yes, i can watch videos just fine when using the signin through the forum option on floatplane, just wasn't sure why I couldn't log in directly on the floatplane site itself when the details are the same, atleast on my end anyway. It's only a couple of clicks so not a problem going forward, just wasn't sure if I set something up wrong or whatever, but it's no problem if it's intended like this, thanks again.

if women can fight Nazi's in WW2 then they can damn sure do it now when job roles in the armed forces are far wider than in the 1930s and 40s. Not everyone in the army is a frontline infantry soldier either, and some roles actually needs female personal, particularly in humanitarian work. You're just ignorant in regards to the needs of a modern army. No offense.

but when i go into my account options on the actual floatplane site it shows my email and password already? It also says my forum account are already linked with no other options to change anything other than to delete it. I also just tried to create a new account to try that, but can't because my email account is already in use on floatplane?

I wouldn't, simply too close to the 11xx cards being released, plus as another poster said, pretty soon you will most likely get a 1080 for not much more than that as well.

to what end exactly? Running a synthetic unrealistic benchmark won't change anything or say anything they don't already know. You can't realistically overclock an 8700 anyway so you don't need to to do it at all, and the turbo will be controlled by the motherboard and thermals anyway so it's pretty pointless unless you have a glitchy system and you are troubleshooting. running in the high 30s at idle is perfectly normal for pretty much any cpu in a bog standard air cooling setup, it's certainly not too low.

you could look at getting a keyboard with the cherry mx silent key switches, they're not that cheap but very good.

the K70 has a small toggle switch that you can set so that the keyboard still works when you go into the motherboard bios.

is the switch broken? it's on the back just to the right of the braided cable.

no worries, and congrats on the new toys.

would depend more on your own setup specifically, case design, fan setups, room temp and obviously games/programs you are using to push that load. My own setup is giving temps in the mid 70s when gaming for a few hours and turbo going up to 4.6-4.7ghz, in terms of your cpu as long as you're not pushing 90-100C you shouldn't see any long term problems

ArctiClean do a great 2 step thermal paste cleaner and preparation that is easy and pretty cheap as well

that seems perfectly normal to me, it's a non-k version as well so it will only turbo rather than have a set overclock so you should be perfectly fine with that cooler. Mine is running in the high 30s at idle even with the hot summer, so you'll be fine.
