Not yet, Gonna wait to see what the quality is like and wait for reviews, Not going to order something as important as a 24 pin that's attached to my PSU without some really good info, I'm a sucker for RGB but this type of product I'm being careful with.

Dice: tempted to what, to try men for a change? I mean I understand you have issues with females, but that's a bit extreme isn't it?

Cheeky slag XD

hasnt denied it yet

So far the two products previously that released RGB 24pin have failed to impress and actually broken apart during reviews.

this one looks stronger but cable doesnt look like it will train nicely.

Good principle. I'm the same when it comes to anything Power Related. I didn't get any CableMod gear until it was proven.
Thinking about it I might be being too cautious :lol:

If it's to do with the PSU there's no such thing as being over cautious, If that goes boom it can take your whole system with it.

Not sure if this has been posted or not but the ROG Strix Fusion Wireless headset with no RGB in sight is now available for pre-order, Looks like the designers have learned not to put stupid lights on a wireless headset, Will also help prolong battery life.

I dont believe them. New cards without optimised drivers usually state "generic video card device" or similar.

Gamer Meld has posted little but contradictory 'rumours', as in things that people have clearly conjured up to spark conversation and drive traffic.

Let's assume that is completely real, right. It's a tiny, weeny bit faster than a 1080ti.

So even if the 1180 were 25% faster (which would be what I would expect with my huge grain of salt) then what will it be good for? 4k? yeah, maybe. I mean, you still don't need more than a 1080ti for 4k. So that means that these are both 4k cards. How many people actually have a 4k monitor to drive? 'cause the last time I looked it wasn't many.

GPUs are only as exciting as the games coming out for them. And right about now there are none that even make me tingle a little bit. The new Metro almost does, but I know I can play it on what I already have (either a Fury X, Titan XP or Xbone).

I will also assume the prices are going to be bat s**t insane, which kinda makes me just yawn.

People do really want to see new GPUs though. Games aren't demanding new GPUs, but people still want to see new tech.

We need new GPUs, in order for Devs to push games to the next level.

Definitely, but even more specifically I think we need GPUs with new technology to push game developers. If it's just a clock boost, what's there to work with other than raw power? It goes back to Intel's powerful 4c/4t CPUs when really we should have had powerful 6c/12t CPUs and beyond for the developers to work with.
