    EVGA GTX 1060 SC vs Sapphire RX 580 NITRO+ Special Edition

    AMD drivers have been fine for years, I don't know where this rumour comes from or why it refuses to die. Note before the fanbois get involved, I've got a 1060 card at present, my previous card was AMD, there are the same number of issues on both manufacturers.

    Nike Loves Cracked Software

    Whilst it would be nice to get all "Holier than thou" here I'm in a position whereby the only 2 brands that fit my feet properly for sports are Nike and Asics. Asics also don't sell one of those sports in the UK. I'll just wait until they are on sale......
