That's like calling all sodas "coke"...

Pop vs soda vs coke I still haven't figured out.
A better analogy would be calling all copier machines "xerox", though I'm not sure how widespread that is.

This is just about the most perfect "high-mid" range card on the market. $250 for performance ahead of what was their top card less than two years ago (GTX 980) for half the price at its debut. This is how new generations should work.

Now we only need the "Armor" version review and we get a complete picture.

More widespread than calling all types of soda, coke!!

* DVI output no longer includes analog VGA signals

Why list this as a con, if it applies to every new Radeon and GTX card?

When I visit family in Oklahoma my cousin would ask everyone "Ya'll want a Coke?". Then it was "We have Pepsi, Seven-up, etc..." Always make me smile. I do it now back at home complete with the accent just to be funny.

That is the optimistic look, assuming the 980 was a good card. It was only about 20% faster than the 970, which cost just 330 $.

The 660 was an insane card for its price, the 760 was decent. The 960 was pretty bad (a lot of games required 4 GiB, which was more expensive, and the performance gap to the 970 was huge). The 1060 is definitely better than the last two cards, but that is mostly because the 1070 is ridiculously expensive.

This level of performance was just 80 $ more expensive almost two years ago, which is why it is not very impressive in my view.

If I had to pick between this card with a weird slogan - that I'll never see when the card's installed in my chassis - or a card that costs $20 more just because it has bling-y LEDs that I'll never use, I know which one I'll choose.

That isn't what Joss said/asked, was it? He certainly didn't mention wanting any blingy LEDs, so I don't know why they're mentioned in your post. I think he was pointing out that this card is aimed at people who like "label claims" more than they do facts.

"Dimensions of the card are 29 cm x 14 cm."
Actually this is wrong. Real dimensions 243 x 115 x 39 mm.
