RIP NVIDIA 1060

>Buying reference card

Most decent motherboards are rated for up to 300w from the PCIe lane (Not slot but the motherboard does not care about individual slots it uses the power pull across all slots. It's why you can put more than 1 GPU on there). So it's bullshit really. The only boards that might die are those that can't handle more pull to begin with.

1060 will wipe the floor with it, if they price it at ~$250

but they won't

if they wanted to kill at that level they would but they won't

Why wouldn't they? The 970 was priced to massively undercut the 290X at launch, so why wouldn't they?

With mods? You mean with a fucking daughterboard made by a professional overclocker that works for Asus that requires you to solder it to your brand new card (which you aren't going to do) and hits the thermal ceiling of the card unless it's on water, and even then only allows you to run 1500mhz for around five minutes before crashing?

You mean THAT fucking mod?

Literally suck AMD dick harder. There might be some fanboys on here that really just want to believe AMD didn't squeeze out a fresh steamer, but you're borderline fucking retarded.
