It looks like the 1080 FE doesn't QUITE do 60FPS at 4K, so I'll probably hold out until the 3rd party cards are released. I think I read somewhere that a liquid cooled version is supposed to be able to reach clock speeds of up to 2.5 GHz - maybe that'll be the card that finally breaks the 60FPS barrier (at ultra). Computex can't get here fast enough!
The reviews are finally out for the GTX 1070. It's a hair better than the Titan X, but with much less wattage. It's the card I'll get to replace my aging GTX 780 Classified.

that's really neat, thanks.
Intel announced their new Broadwell-E processors at computex. The flagship 10 core/20 thread 6950x will be priced at $1723 (eek), while the 6 core/12 thread 6800k will retail for $425. $425 is pretty good for a 6 core CPU.

That 10 core is a lil too rich for my blood. The 6800k seems right for me!
AMD Polaris Radeon RX 480 will launch for $199, more than 5 TFLOPS of compute
Crazy pricing if it performs anywhere near as well as the 1070.
AMD had a presentation of the Polaris RX480 at computex. It's somewhat impressive, but they show the performance of 2 cards in Xfire.
Can I use it to mine bitcoin?
People are still doing that?
It costs more to mine (in electricity) than it's worth right now. You have to be a True Believer, or still living with mom.
