Nvidia takes wraps off GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card

[mapesdhs]

The GTX460 was all over the place. Mine had 2GB of GDDR5 on it, but there were SE variants with 768MB and reduced bus width. ...

Yeah, it was kinda crazy. I bought two EVGA FTW 850MHz 1GB models, the one that caused the row on some sites because it was used in launch reviews, but I was very happy at the time (good chunk cheaper, and faster, than the current top-end single card at the time). For some reason I went on a bit of a 460 benchmarking rampage though, bought all sorts of other versions (mostly used). Besides the SE or the 2GB editions (the latter of course were rebranded later as 560s), there was the SSE which still had 1GB RAM but a narrower bus. Irony was, the SSE could oc waaaay better than the normal 460 because it creates a lot less heat. I couldn't get my orig FTWs much over 900MHz, but the SSEs ran at 1GHz no problem, easily outperforming the FTWs despite the narrower bus.

But yes, you're right, the entire pricing expectation slope has moved upwards, by a lot.

Looks like volume is much less than the 2000 OcUK had for the RX480 launch:

In time for launch a few hundred and by end of next week we should have had 2000-3000 arrive, so plenty.

Also,AIB cards available tomorrow it appears:

Yes, lots of them in stock right now, 14:00 tomorrow you can see and buy them.
