Not true, the Sapphire cards are out we've got about 40 of them running at the moment in our datacenter.

And I'm sure if 1060's were available, people would buy them. The irony is that they're not, and that video is a horrible vid, it lacks any actual comparison of power differences (of which there are) and there's actually a bit of a bump in performance on these cards for the price.

The only advantage to the 1060's is the resell-ability (which there likely wont be for long).

The Sapphire cards may be out, but where can you buy them at MSRP? There is no shortage of 1060's compared to the shortage of RX 4XX/5XX

What that video shows is the mining 1060's are in fact just a repackaged basic 1060 with a 90 day warranty manufactured at a huge gain in margins in attempt  to cash-in off miners dumb enough to support such a blatant money grab by OEM's.

There's no shortage because most of those are mini's or 3G versions. P106 models are 6GB... Better for mining....
