And people expected another 750ti.

Very underwhelming performance with these cards, especially using newer API's.

That said, what nvidia has to offer in lower-mid segment? Underpowered 1050ti and 1060 3GB. Meh.

Thanks for the review!

No more Witcher III benchmarks? noooooo...

Now that pretty much the whole new gen AMD 4xx and Nvidia 10xx lineups have a MSI Gaming X variant, could you maybe make a review comparing all MSI Gaming X cards together Hilbert? I find that reference cards not always that representative of what we'll actually be buying, and MSI has proven to put out reliable products that would give good insight of what the new VGA cards are capable of once a AIB has done it's magic on them.

So in my opinion Nvidia just shot them self in the foot with these cards. No reason to buy at all, cant even play games at 1080P unless the engine is optimized and no option to SLI.

Yeah, looks like nVidia sh*t the bed at this segment, frankly speaking it's a mess... No real generational improvements have been made.
