The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Wait what? Please update your markup. It says 805CAD here but it is 672CAD on the link. Please state the budget @Shahnewaz. Let me check if there's even a better deal.

 

This is worth the extra budget. It has a better improvement compared to the 270x.

well it's an overclockable quad core with better cache. Although I see your point in recommending the i3. low power consumption and heat output and probably a faster single thread performance.

There is no fixed budget. Just a cheap gaming build. I can be flexible on price.
