960 is better than the 660, but a 1070 is muuuuuccchhhhh better than a 960.

MSRP was around $400 before the mining craze.

I have a 960 but only have a 1080p monitor anyway. Still, I'd like a 1070 but not at the current prices.

I'd be really happy if someone developed a line of cards specifically tuned for miners, and gamer cards could come back down in price.

Just messaged the guy about that 1070. I feel like it's a too good to be true type deal so that's why I'm antsy about it.

Found a video of this guy made from his current build. It starts off with him sopping up cooling fluid off a graphics card.

Please tell me that isn't a 1070

That guy is a jackass. I've done hard and soft tubing water cooled builds for years. It is extremely difficult to fckk up that bad.

He must have just jammed the hard tubing into the fitting and it rolled the gasket. Still difficult to do even being careless.

Nvidia actually had the 1080 Ti in stock at MSRP.



And the 1080 for only $50 above MSRP.

Nice.

The 1070s and 1080s will fall real hard second market. 1080tis with unfortunately still retain their value since it's the top consumer card on the market

Is the new Surface Book 2 13.5" with i7-8650U + GTX1050 worth it?

Kind of tired of waiting and they are $200 off this weekend.
