Guys remember: Nvidia said in a press statement about the GPP that they wanted to avoid consumer confusion....

 

I think I'm getting a nosebleed of trying to figure this out but these motherfuckers claim they want to avoid confusion.

*Nvidia Used confusion*

*Critical Hit*

*Consumer is confused and hurt itself*

*Consumer fainted*

Seriously? No one remembers WCCF and their 960ti lies?

 

Follow that laser pointer...

960Ti technically existed in some form. OEMs were able to buy a chip which would have basically been 960Tis.

WCCF makes money off turning "technically" into rebel rousing. Nothing here but speculation on WCCF's part, which is what they do.

Sometimes they just outright lie and call it a rumor.   What would we know?  I sometimes seriously doubt if any of these journalists have "inside contacts".

When they just pull stuff out of their ass to get cllicks, no harm no foul. When the rebel rouse, that's a problem. We have bigger fish to fry with AMD and Intel pulling their Z_90 boards that we know for sure are happening, than a rumor about a new Pascal graphics card a few months before the launch of the 11 series. No one would be confused by a 1060ti, because no one would fucking buy it LOL

Considering there were OEM GTX 660s with the GK104 (GTX 670/680) core, I can't be surprised by this. And since NVIDIA killed SLI for xx60 and below, it makes more sense now as no one would've been able to SLI them in the first place.

 

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we never see these cards as standalone retail, as they could just end up going to system integrators (like Dell and HP) only.

edit: ok, ok, let's shit on AMD too, ok. I present you the RX680! 5% higher clocks compared to a 580, 15% more power consumption, 30% beefier cooler!

While the 580 situation is stupid, I much prefer the same product being rebranded to having two different products with the same name.

 

It's a lot easier to explain to a non-enthusiast that 480=580 (more or less) than to explain that 1060 != 1060.
