    Great review, you clearly put quite an effort into it. It was fair and at the same time had a clear conclusion on whether the card is worth it or not.

    Okay, so we waited over a month for a review without a single benchmark? Or am I missing the a written version somewhere? FPS looks good isn’t enough considering the selling point of such a card is higher fps combined with no microstuttering.
