yes, but SLi was removed to decrease the number of games (currently) that would be able to benefit from 2x 1060.

You're saying this like it's a good thing for amd. Amd will encounter the same problem with their high end card if it's around 1080 performance. They'll get reduced sales because they've already told their fans that two cheaper cards are better. This whole thing is just shitty marketing on amds part. Nothing new 2bh, same old amd.

Here it's $310 - $410. Which is absolutely fucking retarded, because RX 480 8GB costs $320 for a reference cooler.
The $310 version (it's only that 1 Gigabyte cooler one, other cost more) is probably sold out by now tho.
But fucking AMD man, how hard is it to stop forcing those shitty blowers and just let normal manufacturers sell their own cards from day 1? I can just see how aftermarket 6GB 1060 is going to be cheaper than aftermarket 8GB 480 because fuck everything.
1060 would be such a good card too, if it supported FreeSync, but no, JewVidia of course cannot allow that, they might lose out on people with more money than sense buying more G-Sync monitors...

But this has always been the case for the mid-tier cards.
I bought 2x 560Ti's back in the day because they were cheaper than a 580, and they were faster in SLI.
I'm guessing nVidia just aren't including SLI support in the 1060 now to get the price point down and compete with the AMD 480 series a little more directly.

Well nVidia can maintain those price points because there's literally no competition from AMD for that level of performance.

So then why would Nvidia put SLI on that card?
If they did, it would increase the price of the 1060, which may still make it cheaper to buy two of them to have the same performance as a 1080, but still doesn't make sense for them in terms of pricing against the 480.
They're a company looking to profit in their business after all.
Don't like it? Go buy two AMD cards and put up with their terrible crossfire driver support.

Every feature costs money.
Are you seriously too stupid to realise than having less features saves money on development/manufacture?
nVidia are purposely positioning this card to compete at a similar price point to the 480, and removing SLI is obviously part of that.
Graphics cards at that price point have very slim margins as it is, and nVidia made a business decision to maximise their potential profits.

>>55663236
Let me give you a little education, anon.
This is the Aston Martin Cygnet.
Never heard of it? Not surprising.
Aston Martin, known for their huge engined supercars, were forced to release the Cygnet to appease EU emissions regulations that required a maximum average emissions level across a manufacturer's entire line.
In reality, the Cygnet is a rebadged 3-cylinder Toyota IQ, and a total piece of shit. Aston Martin still priced it like an Aston Martin, literally twice the price of the Toyota IQ it's based on, and it sold like shit, only 150 units UK wide.
They sold this gimped Aston Martin because they HAD TO, not because they wanted to, they kept the retarded price point because selling a low cost car would've hurt their brand as a premium car company.
In comparison, nVidia are selling this "gimped" 1060 because they HAVE TO, in order to compete on price with AMD.
nVidia of course want to sell more 1070s and 1080s, because the profit margins on those cards are much higher than the 1060. Releasing the 1060 at that price point, much lower than that performance tier has been in the past in order to match the 480, means they have to cut corners somewhere.
I'm sure you can look at the Steam survey data as see how few people actually use SLI, and that even fewer use SLI in the low-mid tier performance cards. Literally nobody fucking cares this card doesn't have SLI, they just want a card with decent performance for under $300, and that's what this is.
>>
Might be some tinfoil hat tier bullshit, but I think this is partially related to the 480, and how nvidia had to price the 1060 aganst it.
Seeing as there are cards going out for sub300€ on release, contrary to how the 1070/80 are still overpriced, seems clear nvidia wants to bleed amd out. But as people already said, at this price 2x1060 are cheaper than a 1080.
I'd say they would keep the sli connectors if most 1060's were planned to retail at high 300's/low 400's

That's the point of the mixed gpu, anon. The two cards can work together, using their strengths independently. They perform similarly enough that neither should really bottleneck one or the other. Though it would probably never work that way.

Yeah, DX12 works differently to previous DX versions when it comes to multi GPU. Which makes me wonder if SLI and Crossfire were so shit due to DX limitations which have been rendered irrelevant in DX12 thanks to it's own multi GPU implementation.
Basically, SLI is shit and was always shit and now it is still shit and the loss of the SLI bridge is nothing to cry about.

I wonder if any of you even use or want to use SLI/Crossfire? I see so many memeposters every thread how 480 sli is so good and how nvidia are jews for disabling SLI on 1060. I have many friends who play play games on their PCs and NONE OF THEM USE MULTIGPU.
>b-b-but muh ashes of the nobody plays has it beating 1080!!!
Isn't Ashes the only game ATM which supports multigpu without any SLI or Crossfire. And any other game tested wih ACTUAL SLI would propably have yielded worse results with less frames.
Seriously, how many of you actually have a multigpu setup? Show pics.

Used to have gtx 670 sli, it was okay for battlefield 4.
Ended up selling them off and buying a single r7 260 x though, I needed the money and I'm fine with the 260x since I only play bf4 and it runs at high settings 60fps.
I can't personally recommend multi GPU since its much less efficient than a single gpu, but if you're using an aging card, and can get a second identical card cheap, and only play titles that do support SLI or crossfire, then go for it.
>>
>>55664907
No one wants or uses SLI or Crossfire.
The only reason they are complaining is because they are taking results from a DX12 multi GPU enabled title and projecting that onto SLI and then formulating it as a reason why SLI bridges were removed.
How about a GTX1080 SLI vs DX12 multi GPU comparison? Wouldn't the best idea first be to see how SLI is performing next to DX12 multi GPU rather than assuming that you would basically get 1080 performance out of 2x 1060 in SLI if the bridges were available?

Hey, I have something I've thinking about recently.
Does ANYONE, on this planet, ever PLAY ashes of the singularity? Is it even a good game?
Every single gpu release and review is filled to the brim with benchmarks with that game.
But nobody ANYWHERE ever said anything about gameplay, multiplayer campaign etc.
Atleast crysis was also a good game, not some brutal benchmark
>>
>>55665120
Tbh I find all the AAA benchmarking games pretty fucking terrible and wouldn't play them even if they were free. All I really care about is GTA:V, and I only bought that a month ago, turns out I've been missing out, but that's GTA, a classic, I doubt other games could come close to being that enjoyable.

RX480 8GB for 300$
Where I live that's the price for a 4GB version, whilst the 8GB costs 380$
1060 costs even more here, and the aftermarket 1080 costs 770$.
Wat do?
1080 is basically 10$ more expensive than 2 8GB 480s.
What's the best if I'm going to keep them got over 4 years

If you're not going to upgrade in 2 years buy 480. If you play higher than 1920x1080 buy 480 8GB. Only games right now that would use more than 4GB VRAM are GTA:V (you'll only be able to use the next highest textures), modded Cities:Skylines and I guess the new Mirror's Edge (and that's only the hyper settings which tank your performance anyway, but offer barely any graphical advantage).
I'm getting a cheap 1920x1080 75Hz FreeSync AOC monitor + aftermarket 4GB 470. I expect them to cost $350 together and gameplay will be smoother because of the FreeSync than 480 or 1060. 45 FPS synced at 75Hz vs 50-60 FPS not synced at 60Hz

Or if you got monies wait for Vega 11 (Fury X 2: Electric Boogaloo). Rumoured 16GiB HBM2, insane
>>
>>55665556
Ok thanks for tip and nice digits.
I'm using an AOC screen right now and I've had more of them before, if you're going to connect through DP you'll get a glitch where the screen sounds like it makes a tiny bang and the screen goes black for like 2 secs like once every 1-3 hours.
So use hdmi if you're getting AOC and don't use overdrive which most AOC screens have.
I'm getting a Eizo Forum FS2735 now instead, it looks sexy and is from a great company so.

Fury X2 sounds nice, but I only use aircooling for my builds since I'm too lazy and scaerrd to use watercooling.
And aircooled fury X sounds like housefire to me, but we'll see..

Oh? Which monitor did you have? This one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160275 is what I was talking about. It's ridiculously cheap over here relative to other monitors, I just can't seem to find which HDMI it uses, or do even older versions (1.2, 1.3...) support more than 60Hz? I thought that only 2.0 can do more so if it has older HDMI I'm still stuck with DP
But holy shit the Eizo you linked is almost twice the price of my budget build and that includes the monitor.
>>
>>55665465
We're getting more and more to a point where a new card nets you less of a performance gain than the previous time you bought a card.
I'm still sticking with a GTX 770 and I haven't had any trouble getting 40-60 FPS on the highest settings in games unless they were poorly optimized. There are a few exceptions (and usually fixed by turning off nvidia's bullshit if it's on) but I think buying the highest end card is a waste of cash since it will depreciate almost as fast.
Buy the 480, and then if you find yourself in need of more performance in 3 years, buy a second one. The price will probably have dropped unless it pulls what the 770 did and just fucking skyrockets

Easier to react, track movement and accurately do input with higher framerates (especially mouse input since it tends to get fucked at lower framerates), plus image fidelity is better.

>>55665898
I don't really care which digital output I use, but HDMI 1.1/1.2/1.3 can't do 1920x1080 at 120Hz (citing wikipedia here) So I imagine they couldn't do 75Hz either. And the g2260VWQ only has D-Sub, HDMI and DisplayPort, and apparently only some monitors can do FreeSync over HDMI, and this one is not one of them. I guess I'll have to cope with 2sec long blackscreens.
I'm buying it mainly because it has: FreeSync, higher than 60Hz, DisplayPort
I'm like obsessed with DisplayPort for some reason, FreeSync is amazing because I won't have to worry about getting less than 50FPS and it'll still look smooth and 75Hz refresh rate surely cannot possibly disappoint. This all and it's cheaper than some generic 1920x1080 60Hz VGA/HDMI monitors? It's almost too good to be true, but then again, it's AOC, probably a good reason why it's so cheap :/

So much for the 1060. Guess I'll just drop money on a 480. I don't feel like getting cucked like Nvidiots usually do. Can't wait to have the same performance when 1060 gets gimped.

>>55666045
Yeah if that's the only thing you can do then it's just to hope for the best, disabling overdrive will give you a little bit worse latency but it will remove the black screen thing, mostly at least, when I had it maxed the black screen came once every hour or more so...
I hope you get a good buy!

It's not like he's even saying something there.

First of all, you're tech illiterate.
And second of all, you want to maintain atleast 50+ fps.
Preferably 60fps 95℅ of the time with occasional dips.
I don't think you understand how gaming or computers work.

Does it matter since these 10 Series cards are hardly even produced (and what little are, are snapped up by scalpers immediately)?

DirectX 11 is supported on Windows 7. Windows 8 has nothing to do with its lack of support from developers.

You could just get an older 1080p dell monitor at 60hz, patch your drivers, and overclock it to 75hz over dvi-d, it's what i did to save a couple bucks. Look up a guide on YouTube, it's mostly pajeet guides with no voiceover but they work
