Hopefully. Custom cards like the Sapphire Nitro and PowerColor Devil are replacing the 6-pin power connector for an 8-pin one, and the Asus Strix will use two power connectors (either two 6-pin, or one 8 & one 6-pin), so the card will be able to get the extra power it needs from the connectors, not the PCI-e lane.

Or, if you don't care about brands and just performance/money, maybe you should wait for the GTX 1060, that looks to be on par with the GTX 980...

Wow, that is pretty awesome specs if true. Waiting a few more days for the budget build wouldn't hurt.

A few more days until reviews... and then a few more until there is stock in stores.

http://www.pcgamer.com/total-war-warhammer-battles-get-bloody-with-gore-dlc/

Total War: Warhammer's Old World is a place of constant battle, but it all seems a bit too cheery without blood splattering the field or greenskins being decapitated by dwarfen axes. To recast the Warhammer world as an appropriately horrifying place, Creative Assembly released its usual Total War gore DLC on Thursday. The trailer above delivers pretty much all the goods: dismemberment, ogres biting heads off, trolls going HAM. It's a delightful mess.

Omnic monk Zenyatta may the next Overwatch hero to be rebalanced.

"We've been talking about him," director Jeff Kaplan says on the Battle.net forums. "We wanted to see how the Widowmaker and McCree balance changes played out before making any changes. We're exploring some options right now. Nothing more to report at this time."
