Re: i7 6700 with IGP only

i am going to purchase an entire PC system. 9 days I can wait, but is the release date for the US market only? I am located in Asia.

you are running 120hz at what resolution?
you have a high end i5 overclocked, so i might need to run it same as your setup on a i7 6700 at stock speed.

I believe it may actually be a world-wide launch, but no guarantees on that.  Besides, it's a good idea to wait until the NDA to at least see the performance numbers and the like vs the competition (likely the very cards you mentioned - the 750 Ti and 950).

EDIT: One thing is that this would also allow you to use the integrated Intel graphics for SVP and video decoding while the discrete graphics could be used for fancy upscaling via MadVR which might not be quite as possible with something like a lowly 710.

Lower than I'd like to admit...it's kind of embarrassing actually.

EDIT: Just know that 1280x720 @ 240Hz uses the same amount of bandwidth as 2560x1440 @ 60Hz.

No I don't, I have a Pentium G3258 OC'd to 4.6GHz.
