      Just got mine yesterday - and it is magnificent.

      I need to learn how to tweek the software a bit - but I was able to get 2000mhz clock speeds just using the OC mode - through GPU boost 3

  • inusure on 28/07/2016 - 11:51

    calm down! calm down! I dont need a NVIDIA VGA, i need freesync, so i must get AMD card.
    Control yourself from these deals!!!

    • echineon on 28/07/2016 - 14:02

      I also have freesync monitor but the pascal nvidia cards have fast sync which is good enough for me at 75Hz. SORRRRRRRRYYYYY!!!!

      • edfoo on 28/07/2016 - 15:12

        So you mean Nvidia cards can boost a Freesync monitor refresh rate up above 60Hz, don't need an AMD card to do that?

        • echineon on 28/07/2016 - 16:45

          neither cards do it, refresh rate is independent with your monitor has nothing to do with graphic card. The only thing sync does is to match the frame and the refresh rate. What I meant is fast sync did well with my 75Hz monitor.

        • edfoo on 28/07/2016 - 17:36

          @echineon: I am not very familiar with these. Do you mean if you have a Freesync monitor capable of 144Hz, a Nvidia card allow you to play the games at 75Hz, instead of limited to 60Hz? Sorry if I sound stupid.

        • echineon on 28/07/2016 - 18:07
          +2

          @edfoo:

          No it's okay. I suggest you look up screen tearing. What happens when the frame sent by a card is not matched with a monitor refresh rate will make screen tearing. So for example, your screen refreshes at 60Hz, that means every frame will be displayed in 1/60 of a second. The graphic card works at a different frequency, it may do 70 frames a second for example, that means we have 10 frames where the display still refreshing. If the graphic card didn't know this and keep on pushing the image out it will cause screen tearing, where 2 frames are overlapped but not fully displayed. Sync does exactly what it supposed to do, with freesync and g-sync, the principle is the monitor and graphic card work together to display one frame at a time instead of overlapping. Vsync (which is old) usually done at the graphic card only and it limits the graphic card output to 60Hz (or 75Hz or 120 or 144 depends on the monitor) to match the monitor refresh rate. Lastly, fast sync, also done at the graphic card, but instead of limiting it's output which can cause delay (input lag) because the graphic card limited itself, fast sync allows the graphic card to do whatever it is doing, but limit the output so the frame output matches the display rate.

          Take for example, freesync or gsync is like order on demand, you (monitor) buy x number of A, the factory (graphic card) makes x number of A, exactly what you ask for, no left over no nothing. Vsync is we will lower our production line to match your demand so we will be slow at accepting our raw materials (so you can move your mouse and press your key but it won't display because they're waiting for buyer). Fast sync is we will still keep our production at our best (means key press, mouse movement will still be accepted) and throw away the extra product that didn't meet deadline (refresh rate). I would say it matches things in car but I guess we're on OzB so it's easier to make that analogy.

          /edit: also, sync doesn't do anything to your monitor refresh rate. If the monitor has 75Hz, it won't go higher or lower because of your graphic card (you can lower the refresh rate by changing setting but that's for another day). The graphic card can go lower or higher than the refresh rate however and that's why we need sync to prevent screen tearing.

        • Alzori on 28/07/2016 - 18:08
          +2

          @edfoo: You don't need specifically either card. Both AMD and Nvidia cards will run either your freesync or G-sync monitor at their maximum refresh rate, be that 60, 120, 144 or whatever.

          Freesync and G-Sync are technologies that make your monitor refresh in time with the graphics card rendering, making the picture much smoother if your computer can't quite push 60/120/144fps to your monitor at all times. For this you will need a graphics card and monitor that match.

          Fast-sync is another technology from Nvidia (not an expert on this one), but I think it makes the picture smoother on your monitor if your graphics card is rendering much faster than your monitor can display, e.g. you're getting 200fps in Counter Strike and you're using a 120Hz monitor. As far as I know it doesn't alter the refresh rate of the monitor, and doesn't need any special technology in the monitor. I think echineon just has a monitor that runs at 75Hz natively.

        • echineon on 28/07/2016 - 18:17
          +1

          @Alzori: Yup, that's right, my monitor is the one that able to run 75Hz, if your monitor only run to 60Hz then it runs at 60Hz no matter what your graphic card is. Fast sync differs to normal v-sync is because of the input lag as I posted up there. Meaning Vsync makes the input lags because graphic card will process at sync speed, where fast sync allows graphic card operate at higher framerate but send display synced with refresh rate hence the lower input lag and no screen tearing.

          @Rail Rider95:

          How does debit feel safer again? Most credit cards these days have fraud/unauthorized transactions refund policy.. If anything debit feels more unsecured vs a credit card? Unless you mean safer as in not going to spend money you don't have?

        • Rail Rider95 on 29/07/2016 - 07:37

          The other option if you don't want to spend money you don't have and a good transaction rate is the Citibank Plus account. It's a debit credit card with no international transaction fee

        Don't know about 1440p, but in 1080p, it doubled the FPS from gtx 670.

        Need to get 1440p monitor to test higher res.

      • x853 on 28/07/2016 - 14:19

        I ran the Havens benchmark yesterday and from memory my clock speed was 2023 mhtz on OC mode with no additional overclocking - and the score was like 2200-2400 I can't recall.

        Max fps was over 200fps and lowest was 35 or 40 fps.

        I then tested witcher 3 and was getting 50-60 fps on ultra with hairworks on

      • chubbychicken on 28/07/2016 - 22:59

        I upgraded from 780 to 1070… Roughly 35-40% performance increase in fps according to Heaven and Valley benchmarks… (1440p)

      Ordered mine over a week ago from the ebay tech 20 sale from pc byte. Still hadn't shipped today. Emailed them only to find out they don't have stock. And yet they're still selling on ebay. Should've ordered from amazon. I've requested a refund

      • Rail Rider95 on 28/07/2016 - 12:59

        Local warranty though? Wouldn't that make it worth the wait? So long as they can give you an accurate eta for new stock

        • westernculture on 28/07/2016 - 13:02

          amazon warranty is way better, they even pay for return shipping.

          pcbyte and other eBay sellers are just grey importing like Kogan, not even sure if they pay GST or not, their warranty policy is dodgy at best.

          No eta as of yet. I wouldn't be so annoyed if they actually contacted me when they realised they were out of stock, rather than wait for me to contact them. Plus they're still talking orders without notifying people, so they're gunna have to wait too. From what I've heard amazon are pretty awesome with thier return policy

      • [Deactivated] on 28/07/2016 - 16:37

        Same thing happened here, I ordered some ram from PC Byte, waited over a week and I didn't any follow up emails regarding the dispatch of my items. I emailed them today to find out they have no stock nor an ETA of when stock would arrive. I'm really annoyed they they didn't let me know the ram was out of stock until I actually contacted them. Never doing business with this eBay seller again.

        • lindendwightt on 28/07/2016 - 17:59

          That was part of my order too mate. I contacted them further and i kept getting the same reply from them "waiting on supplier to contact them". The moment i said i wanted to cancel my it was changed to posted.
          Still nothing on the ram though. Very dodgy

          @freebies8: eventually after contacting them and requesting a refund they decided to ship the item. Guess they actually did have stock. Wasnt as lucky with the ram i ordered though. Requested a refund on that. They agreed but haven't processed it. Now my build is in limbo because i don't have funds to order more ram. I've contacted ebay and notified them that they're taking orders for stock they're falsely claiming to have and they're going to look into it. I suggest you contact them too. Pc byte shouldn't be allowed to operate. Wish you all the best champ

          @lindendwightt: Thanks for the update, I'll be contacting eBay in the morning. I'll be buying my ram from CPL tomorrow as I cannot wait an unspecified amount for it, I emailed them several times and they were unable to provide a proper response to any of my questions. They responded with something a long the lines of "I am sorry that we are still waiting from our supplier and we will keep you updated" each time but they never addressed my questions so I requested to cancel my order as well. It sucks haha we've both got our build in limbo atm.

        Good luck with the refund. DO a search of Pc-byte and how they sell stuff they don't have stock of and then take weeks to refund the money. They are a POS to deal with.

          I don't think ebay will do much, if anything, they care more about sellers, have heard they even remove bad feedback.

          Futu are ok but some issues with warranty. You need to post stuff back to them (they pay for it) and only afterwards will they ship another item. Its a hassle if you get a water damaged monitor (full of fungus in the box and behind the screen).

    Gtx 1060 G1 Gaming shows as $349.00 for me

    I need an excuse to get a series 10 card so just wondering, will a gtx760 be better for dell ips artwork/photoshop etc than a gtx560?

  • Cobalt_ on 28/07/2016 - 12:51

    GTX 1060 > 960 > 760 > 560.

    So short answer, yes

    • westernculture on 28/07/2016 - 13:05

      and gtx 1260 > 1160 > 1060, its simple math.

        But is that true for non gaming? Will 2 generations really make much of a difference for colours, etc?

          Not gonna do anything for colours. If you want proper colour support(10bit) you'll need a Quadro or FirePro. May work on Radeons haven't looked into it properly.

          Photoshop does use OpenCL/GL for some operations though, so in theory it should be faster..but upgrading the 6000 series Radeon on my work pc to a faster FirePro didn't seem to do squat from my usage. YMMV.

        • King Steuart on 28/07/2016 - 20:41

          @TheContact: Thanks for the first informative reply :D

  • Selenium on 28/07/2016 - 12:58

    So damn tempting.

    But the case I really want, I really need to hang out for a mini 1070. Which only Gigabyte have announced and they aren't even selling the damn thing. Grr.

    Some damn nice deals here.

  • kazza2115 on 28/07/2016 - 13:03

    How are you guys getting them posted to Australia? I have a amazon.com account and when I go to checkout I get "Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address" message on every item.

      make sure the seller is amazon not the other scalpers.

    GTX 1070 + HTC VIVE on Supersamling 2.0 = OMG. Cant wait to build such a rig

  • inittobinit on 28/07/2016 - 13:24

    When people say evga has international warranty, does that mean they allow you to ship back to a local repair centre? Because im pretty sure all brands have international warranty you just have to send it back to the repair centre in the country it came from.

    • Cobalt_ on 28/07/2016 - 13:27

      EVGA has an international warranty regardless of where you buy it from (as long as it's an authorized seller). I believe EVGA cards in Australia have to be sent back to Taiwan.

      • inittobinit on 28/07/2016 - 13:34

        But then how is that any different from any other brand if you have to still send it back overseas?

        I dont think any other brand will refuse to honor warranty just because you're shipping it to them from outside the region of origin? Or is that the whole idea?

        • Cobalt_ on 28/07/2016 - 13:38
          +3

          Other brands can refuse to return shipping outside the original sales area. Some do, some don't. They may also request you pay shipping both ways rather than one way. Either way it's cheaper to ship stuff back to Taiwan than it is to the US.

          On top of this, EVGA have built their reputation on good customer service, compared to other brands like Asus and Gigabyte who basically don't anything to do with you once they have taken your money.

        • TheContact on 28/07/2016 - 14:20

          @Cobalt_: It's a shame the EVGA ACX3.0 looks crap (imo) and, something that actually matters, doesn't quite cool as well as the others.

          5deg+ hotter at roughly the same dB than the G1 and Strix..

        • Cobalt_ on 28/07/2016 - 14:34

          @TheContact:

          I find that I don't really pay much attention to the aesthetics of the card once it's in the case. In fact my current case doesn't even have a window! Cooling and performance is quite important though.

        • TheContact on 28/07/2016 - 14:46
          +1

          @Cobalt_: My case is glass, so admitedly I do somewhat. It's really just that little light up panel that urks me, which also happens to be the only part visible. Thermal performance was disappointing as the design looked decent, while the Strix was somehow the best and the die makes no contact with one of the heatpipes and barely touches another.

        • chubbychicken on 28/07/2016 - 23:08

          @TheContact:

          Looks are a personal thing. I think it looks pretty sweet compared to my old EVGA 780 SC which was mostly plastic…

          As for cooling it actually runs way cooler then the 780 did. Saying things like (- 5deg) is useless - aslong as it doesn't hit 80C it doesn't matter if its 71 or 66…

        • TheContact on 29/07/2016 - 07:41

          @chubbychicken: Oh definitely, I acknowledge that it's just my opinion, funnily enough, I prefer that plain jane look of the older cooler. Likewise I think the 1060 Gaming is the best looking in their current lineup. Metal instead of plastic would be nice though.

          250W vs 180W TDP, it would be absolutely terrible if it didn't.
          EVGA ACX3.0 80C @ 39.9db;
          Gigabyte G1 73C @ 40.3dB;
          Asus Strix 72C @ 39.1dB;
          Zotac AMP 70C @ 39.4db.

          It's german, and only one review, but it's the only one I found that directly compared the cards in one go. Though it's not the only time I've heard that the card hit 79-80C.

      You need to ship back to Taiwan for EVGA card. Which I believe it is cheaper than ship it back to US.

  • Godric on 28/07/2016 - 13:47

    Darn if i knew the evga ftw edition was only 30-40 bucks more i so would of got it instead of the normal sc card : (( owells still good

    • edfoo on 28/07/2016 - 15:17

      I vaguely recall reading from other people FTW edition only gives you extra 2-4 fps, so are you going to notice the difference?

      • King Steuart on 28/07/2016 - 20:29

        Extra 2-4 fps over the life of your GFX card vs extra $32… seems worthwhile to me

        • Godric on 28/07/2016 - 22:42

      The difference between the SC and the FTW cards is such a minor overclock, it's really tiny. You could easily bump it up to double that without even trying, manually.

    Mod has locked me out of editing the deal. Great. Just a note, I made one duplicate, the rest of the deals you are linking to are several weeks old and really should be marked as expired given that those deals ran out of stock ages ago and have recently been restocked.

    • piitaalaa on 28/07/2016 - 14:46

      That link says it doesn't ship to Australia or am i doing something wrong

        Sold out now, check the deal post now. I can modify it again

          Damnnn.. what a shame. Guess I will wait when they restock. Thanks though!

    The way people worry about warranty makes it looks like these cards won't last 6 months…

      And what about those D.O.A cards? Not ideal, but if it happens to you, you damn sure want to know you can return it easily

      Just like buying a car, do you prefer one with 1 year warranty or 5 year warranty?
      It's not like the car will definitely break down on the 11th month, but still.

  • KRiSX on 28/07/2016 - 14:49

    damn it, the gigabyte 1060 is out of stock :( really want a 1060 for my HTPC/lounge gaming box… i've got a 1070 in my main rig but a 1060 would do nicely for the lounge…

    • Cobalt_ on 28/07/2016 - 16:22

      You can still add it to your cart and go through the purchase. Amazon will notify you when stock comes in and is ready to ship.

      • KRiSX on 28/07/2016 - 19:26

        yeah i know… but i'd rather just order something in stock as i'm super impatient lol

    • fLaMePrO on 28/07/2016 - 18:58

      1060 for a HTPC? What for?? You'd be better off using home streaming through Steam, way overkill having a second gaming box.

      • KRiSX on 28/07/2016 - 19:31

        its currently got a 670 in it… like i said its a HTPC/gaming box… yes streaming is an option obviously but due to the layout of my place everything is wireless (ac, but still) and i can tell the difference between playing directly on a system and playing via streaming… around $400 is acceptable for me
