The release notes link points to the correct version. On a side note, is it just me or has content on Anandtech basically slowed to a crawl? It is getting to the point where I am visiting the site much less often and coming back to find minimal updates. The acquisition doesn't appear to have done much for the site.
The problem is that I've seen plenty of sites do quality reviews, yet they all do it faster than AT. I've been reading this site for a long time, but it's slowly become a site I barely check, if ever. The last site I did that with was DailyTech, sure enough, they died and there hasn't been any updates in about 7 months. If Anandtech dies I will be sad :(. I wonder how much of this is due to Anandtech having to compete with LinusTechTips...
The problem is that by the time the reviews are coming out everyone already knows the vast majority of what there is to know about the products so are not going to read such an indepth review after such a long time.
This isn't being entitled, as some like to out it, it is people trying to inform the site that if they want to continue having people come here and defend it as the pinnacle of tech review sites then they need to get reviews out in a reasonable amount of time.
If it is because the reviewers are over worked they need more reviewers.
I feel like the reviews have slowed as well. I'd love to do in depth hardware reviews (and put those degrees in media production alongside my fondness for journalism and hardware to use), but I don't see jobs being handed out in that field. I sort of wonder if the age of amazon, user reviews, and youtube has driven away lots of the traffic from more "traditional" review sites.
...and I am still waiting. Yeah, it's obviously a little later to the dance (as long as it comes!), but over the years I have found Ryan's GPU reviews very detailed with good alignment of what I'm looking for in reviews (architecture changes, as applicable, and benchmarks for games, compute, noise, power, temperature, and of course, "will it run Crysis?" LOL), and if up to par technically, I'll be all over it. I'm not in the market for a Founder's Edition card anyway, and would like the review to include a sampling of what most of us will be likely be buying anyway (ditto on the 1070) from various partners with their arrays of cooling solutions.
Over a year and no GTX 960 review... The reviews seem to be going extinct and we get a lot of product announcements instead. Oh well, it's not like Anandtech publishes what _we_ want. If we can't get out fix here, we'll get it elsewhere. But I'll surely miss the level of detail Anandtech usually goes into. I don't know any other sire that does that.
Yeah, but like everyone says, quality over quantity. That review (960) is going to be so good, it'll cover scents emitted from different manufacturers. You know, the important stuff.
So like... I haven't switched drivers since 362.00, because of all the quality control issues in 364.xx that caused extremely poor performance in quite a lot of games.
Are the 368.xx drivers working fine to this regard?

If they keep on skipping on big reviews, manufacturers will eventually just stop sending review samples altogether (Nvidia probably already has :P).Samus - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link
Quality over quantity. If you want a lot of shit reviews just go to Engadget.lazarpandar - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link
I understand wanting to defend Anandtech because it's a great site and a great resource but let's not resort to the false dichotomy fallacy.eek2121 - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link

Hopefully it'll never get as bad as Tom's. They didn't even review the Surface Pro 3/4VeauX - Thursday, June 9, 2016 - link
yep, that's sad.eek2121 - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link

There is very little being published. I guess something is up.shabby - Thursday, June 9, 2016 - link
There's plenty being published, all those cases/keyboards/mini pc's/external storage reviews/ads must count for something right...barleyguy - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link
When I first saw that version number I thought it was a price for the GTX 1070. ;-)Wolfpup - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link
LOL it could be!pencea - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link
Two weeks and yet still no reviews of the GTX 1080.Ammaross - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link
To be fair, they did post a "Preview" article already. :Pcatavalon21 - Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - link

I don't think it helps that it's 2016 and yet one still can't edit one's comments to fix typos, etc.Michael Bay - Saturday, June 11, 2016 - link
AT doesn`t subscribe to leftist agenda, and is deaf to THIS IS THE CURRENT YEAR "argumentation".richough3 - Thursday, June 9, 2016 - link
Yeah, I had been waiting on the GTX 960 review as well, which Ryan said was coming soon, but still is a no show.Michael Bay - Thursday, June 9, 2016 - link
I bought 980 because i got tired of waiting for 960 review. ^_^Beararam - Thursday, June 9, 2016 - link

The last GPU review was 7 months ago.Meteor2 - Thursday, June 9, 2016 - link
... which was pretty pointless of me to state as the only new cards between then and recent times are the new 10s.meacupla - Thursday, June 9, 2016 - link
It's a good card.It fits right inbetween a GTX970 and GTX950Ti :D
Just don't expect it to max out graphics settings at 1080p and I think you are good to go.
