Quick News

Don't think it's been posted yet but the price has dropped on the GTX980Ti's to £400 at Overclockers, and £404 at Scan.

The GTX970's are starting at £218 at Overclockers and £230 at Scan.
 
So looks like we got more 480 info. ~100watt board power, 60C typical for gaming, faster than an OC 980 and a Nano(tbf just faster), $229 for 8GB models.
In addition, 1080 base clock, 1266 boost clock(that's a pretty good boost imo out of the box) with a total TFlop count of 5.8 compared to 5.9 from 390X.
For IO, 1 hdmi, 3DP.

Slightly more info here.

Zen news!
Codename for server: Naples
So in an exclusive interview with Fudzilla, Lisa Su confirmed for servers they will have a 32 core 64 thread flagship CPU. Will support up to 128 PCI lanes, 32 Sata 3/NVME drives, and have a 16X10GbE controller.

Zen specifics: 32cores/64 threads. 180watt TDP. 64MB L3 cache, divided into 8MB clusters. But each core still has 512KB of its own L3 cache. And finally there will be 2,4,8,16,32 core variants. Release is after Desktop Zen releases.

Gwent from the Witcher 3 is becoming a F2P standalone title. CDPR is aiming for a 10 hour single player campaign with perhaps maybe more expansions in the future. In addition Closed Beta should be starting in September.

Lot more info form the source:)

Don't know if this is legit or not. But the RX480 has been spotted at an OC of 1607mhz from the stock 1266mhz boost clock. Was in 3d mark. Stock cooler btw.

Interesting test with the high bandwidth SLI bridge, Actually makes quite a difference over the standard bridge in some titles.

16FPS average difference between a normal bridge and HB bridge in the Division using 2 x 1080's.

28FPS average difference between a normal bridge and HB bridge in Fallout 4 using 2 x 1080's.

Seeing as Nvidia are only making an HB bridge with support for 2 cards that's going to be a good chunk of performance lost for people who bought more than 2 x 1080's when using the old bridges.

The P100 is being released Q1 of 2017 so I imagine we'll get the Pascal Titan and 980 Ti in Q2 2017.

Pascal Titan and 1080Ti in Q2 2017, I assume you mean? :p... So it's that far away yeah?. I thought the Ti ususally came out 6 months after the release of the "original" one, ie the 1080.

Nvidia release it only when they need to beat AMD's offering. Otherwise they can delay it and continuously tweak it, when necessary.

Update/Patch 1 is coming out tomorrow at 2PM BST on 30 June 2016.
Includes the first FLC, Blood Knights for the VC faction.

But most importantly, DX12 support(sorta in beta mode) comes tomorrow alongside a built in benchmark available in DX11/12 so you can compare between the two. Shame it comes a day after the 480 reviews... but anyway here are patch notes and DX12 information.
Patch Notes: Here
DX12 log: and here

Should add they said this quite a bit, AMD will gain MORE(depending on PC specs and GPUs relative performance) performance from DX12 than Nvidia, because they use the Asnyc Comp engines built into GCN. Asnyc is going to be heavily used.
