Like 17100 graphics score. Yeah it has trouble holding 1125, it runs at anywhere from 1080 to 1125 in firestike. It can hold 1125 in games and other benchmarks though.

I do 17200+ on my Fury after OC, this is a stock GTX 1070 FE score :P

Weird that the Fury with a weaker GPU chip is faster than the Nano...

As an owner of a GTX 1070 I'm not really bothered which mid-range GPU is better.

Should i buy gTx 960 4gb refurbished i m getting it for 100$ ? is it worth it?

To move you away from everything everyone else is going on about, yes that's a very good deal. GTX 950s or R9 280x's go for roughly that used and with a refurbished card you get proper warranties and stuff. Plus it is the 4GB version, I'd say it is worth it.

Looking at 960s, the 2GB versions seem to be going for $110-$115 shipped, take it.

Could be because of the CPU a little, but it's mainly a power issue. I completed one test at 1160, although not stable, and that was 17200

That's great that YOU can afford a 4790k-1070 build, but some people aren't as rich as you and can't. Not everyone can just save up what they want; perhaps they want to put their money towards savings or something else instead. Maybe they've barely saved up enough to get this rig for fun and don't want to spend more. Not everyone has as much money freedom as you, you know.

Nah, the test is not CPU demanding, overall score doesn't matter, I'm talking solely the GPU score :P Though the reviews say the same, at stock the Fury is a bit ahead due to the Nano not maintaining stable clocks, it's weird... Maybe try to flash it with a Fury X custom BIOS cause it's watercooled, essentially unlocking free performance?

Oh shit xD dat score... On a more realistic side note, this is an RX 480 at 1,5GHz, and its pretty much destroying any GTX 1060 I've seen: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/16211574

I almost said "Holy shit that shits all over my score" but I seen the 2500k at 5.2GHz and my 290 doesn't overclock for sure, I can't get anything stable +90Mhz, this only happened after updating BIOs to 3: used to do 1175 +18mv but nope, rip.

I'll look into that. I'm not hitting the power limit as far as I know.

Apparently increasing the power limit and unlocking voltage yields noticeable performance increases, I'd read into that more if I were you, I guess there should be custom BIOSes out there for the Nano that make it a full-fledged Fury X :)

liquid nitrogen/phase change cooling with really high voltage. There are 1060 6G's up to almost 2.9 GHz.

I bought a 2 gb oced model for $100 locally. It seemed $15-$20 less than what they'd go for online + shipping. 

 

It wasn't refurbished and looked brand new. but that's beside the point. 

 

I think I got a good deal. That much performance for $100 is really good.
