Wells Fargo put Nvidia on "Last stage".
http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphics/41136-wells-fargo-puts-nvidia-on-last-stage
I know we've been discussing this for years but I've always maintained that sooner or later they would trip up and things would change. IE - sooner or later something was going to give (be it Moore's law or something else like Async) and AMD would make some ground up.
Then of course we are headed into a world where everything gets smaller, meaning desktop PCs will probably sell far less.
Obviously they're trying to break into other markets (like automotive and consoles etc) but so far their efforts to be anything other than a good GPU company have failed, and this could get quite dangerous.
Sooner or later the die shrink process will come to an end much like it is with Intel (who are laying off staff and closing factories) and things will stagnate, much like they did with computers back in the 80s. At which point the butthole falls out of the market and people simply won't want to buy.
Yes I know I am being dramatic BTW.

Makes sense. Explains the very odd results we have seen. In addition to me it invalidates every 3d mark benchmark. This just shows they favor Nvidia and don't actively seek to improve there code for AMD.

This is why I take Unigine scores with a pinch of salt, Very Nvidia focused code.

What if they are secretly owned by Nvidia
But more seriously yeah Unigine is probably worse. Although 3dmark was more balanced they certainly never seemed to do much about it. And when you have stuff like this showcasing little to no Asnyc Compute but instead optimized for Pre-Emption, really just invalidates the whole suite to me personally. It makes the benchmark less reliable than AotS, which is a game! Really just boggles my mind... they've had a over a year to work on DX12 and that's all we managed to get from a dedicated Benchmark company?

Origin on the House.
They now offer BF4 Naval Strike for free this week. Which marks the 3rd DLC to go on the house with the first two being Second Assault and Dragon's Teeth. Naval Strike was really hyped up for many people for On the House, as before this all started they ran a very quick Free DLC grab for BF4 excluding Naval Strike, so if you got those freebies then here you go!

Really sucks for Premium buyers, if they were patient they would have gotten all the DLC for free lol

And now we know why Nvidia has disabled SLI on the 1060.

What a shame. For £460 you could have had quite the pair.

Gonna be pretty fast. See how a 1080 is? Well the TX has 1280 more CUDA cores.. or in other words an entire 1060's extras worth of cores.. So ultimately.. prepare for ultimate price gouging and low stock.

I'm excited by this, literally the reason I got up this morning.

I heard pricing is going to be $1200USD so i would guess it's going to be like $2000AUD if not more.
Thats nothing new. My 560Ti in SLI used to trump the flagship 680 card. Nvidia are just finding new ways to get greedy, as if they weren't already bad enough.
But SLI just brings more heat, noise, power usage, micro stuttering, and more problems.
From my point of View I just don't see the point of 1060 SLI because for the cost you can get a 1070 and possibly another later on in the year.

Let's see. It begins with a C and ends with an s. It rhymes with stunts.

Wow they want everyone on GTX1000 series cards don't they, I can't understand why they have already made the GTX900 series cards to Legacy i can understand GTX700 series.
I think Nvidia is turning in Microsoft bye trying to force people to the latest and if you want to say greatest.
Hmmm i was just checking the comments at the bottom of the page and some people are saying it's click bait bye the author so i don't know i but i'm not shock bye it.
Every company want people on the latest parts so it makes there job easier lol

Yes it's a d*ick move, But i still think it's not going to stop sales of Nvidia products cause most people don't care but it's people like us on forums are talking about it.
From what i have read the 3.5GB thing is a US only thing and like i said at the time at least you guys in Europe and a step up program we got nothing here at all, Basiclly the attitude here was from the retailers is oh well it's not our fault that you got screwed.

Please note that the page is now called "Previous Generation Products" and that the GTX 900 series still has driver support.
That site just caught the page mid update.
