Just picked up a 4gb gtx 680 for $50, did I do good?
>>51435524
Forgot to mention.
Am ausfag.
Got it to replace my old gtx 260.
Grabbed myself a second second-hand Fury X for $700AUD or a tad over $500USD. These things are monsters. I though one was insane.
I can score 125+ FPS on Witcher 3 @1440p. Can't hit the refresh cap but it's close enough. Now that I have it, that dream of owning 2 is gone. What next..
>>51435600
Get 3.
Crossfire scales pretty well.
Or get a 5th gen i7 with 40 pcie lanes for better crossfire bandwidth and scaling?
>>51435549
You've done well, son.
>>51435600

Thinking about getting the Furyx2 when it's released. Anyone have experience with dual chip GPUs or Fury cards? Would it be worth it?
>>51435794
Now that the fury is voltage unlocked on trix it should be quite a nice card. Hopefully it will crush nvidia's titanx2 or whatever it will be called
So I was thinking of getting a palit gtx 980 super jetstream. Any advice ?
All deez gets
is the 380x worth it or should i just get a 280x
>>51437619
The 380X is just a 280X refresh. Find a 280X on sale and overclock it by ~10% for the same performance.
Is there a gpu that surpasses the Firepro W7100 while only using a single 6-pin? Saving up money so I can move off the gtx 960.
>>51437067
Yes; don't
>>51437878
So what should I get ?
Can anyone recommend me a new card? Currently have a 660 and it's starting to fuck up. Overheats sometimes etc. I was thinking of a 980 but are there better alternatives?
>>51438482
If you have the money then sure got for a 980, or a ti if you can
>>51438482
Fury if you can get one for under $500.
https://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-100379sr
This one is cutting it close, but it does come with a free $60 game.
Trying to do some bugtesting for work.
Got a lot of calls regarding people who ran Windows 10 updates and noticed a variety of issues, primarily:
- No option to change resolution in NVIDIA Control Panel
- SLI no longer working, second card not recognized in Device Manager
- Driver not running and Device Manager reports Code 43 on GPU
Has anyone been having these issues? If so please drop me an email.
>tfw when when finally upgrading r7 250 to a r9 390
No memes. 970 vs 390? I can get either for around $230. I also need it to be hackintosh compatible, and the 390 seems iffy with that. I also don't like the idea of giving up gamestream and physx.
>>51441224
It's not even a question if you can get them for the same price.
390 of course.
I'm just waiting until HBM v2 comes out next year
>>51435000
He lies!
any reason not to get a evga 970? not really keen on getting a 980 since $$$. I'm coming from a 470 and it's lasted me 5 years and still could work but ya know...fo4 is so badly optimized and dark souls 3 is coming so definitely want the best graphics for that one.
How far can I go in terms of gpu if I'm running an i3 2120?
>>51441432

sorry to tell your CPU is shit and outdated
get 5930K
>>51441532
eh it gets the job done still and i can overclock it p easy. would it really be that much of a bottleneck?
Are there any huge benefits when getting a 980 over a 970? I'd much prefer the 970 because of the cost, since some stuff JUST came up today and I won't have as much cash as I'd have hoped. Also what brands are the best? Gonna run into bestbuy today and might just by a card after work.
>>51442189
Get a 980ti or a 390. 980 is a shitty value and a 390 can match it in some cases anyway. 970 has the whole 3.5 thing so I would avoid it unless you need an nvidia only feature
>>51435611
Unfortunately not, only a 5820k. Two should be plenty fine I'm sure.
>>51437815
380X is an unreleased, unseen, beefed up Tonga Anon.
>>51438482
Sure there are, 390X, Fury. Just depends what you like. If you can stretch out the budget to a Fury then you'll be laughing. Otherwise the 980 or the 390X will get the job done
>>51441224
Physx is controlled though CPU majority of the time when a game actually uses it nowadays. You won't even notice it. I came from dual 580 SLI.
How exactly does the 390 feel 'iffy'? It's a graphics card. Does what an Nvidia graphics card does. It's just made by another company.
Die shrink cards when?
How good is the GTX 950? I'm planning to get one soon to go together a i5-4460.
What's a good upgrade from a Radon 7870

Spent 100ish on a GTX 750, 1gb DDR4. I honestly didn't think it would be able to run the more seriously GPU intensive games but I can run anything and everything that's out right now no problem.
I'd definitely recommend this gfx card to anyone looking for a cheap one that'll get shit done.
My whole build cost $450, specs are 8gb DDR3, 4.2ghz quad core , 1gb gtx 750, 1tb HD and 120gb SSD.
>>51442467
Well is either that or a GTX 750Ti.

dx12 etc etc
so i built a new pc a couple of weeks ago and i decided to go with a gigabyte r9 390 8gb
i finally had some time to play some games and the temperatures are worrying me, hitting about 84c under load
i read that those gpus are supposed to be hot but after about 2 hours of playing i noticed some little black flickering squares over some of the textures for about 10 seconds, and it got me worried that those might be artifacts from the gpu overheating
am i right to worry?
i'm currently away on mobile so i can't post links or benchmarks
>>51443197
980 TI wont support DX12? Well I guess that's a deal breaker then.

Is it true? They keep saying older AMD cards get better with age (support software from AMD) compared to same era nVidia?
>>51443393
It's true, Nvidia confirmed it
>>51443403
Consider this: when the 780 was new it CRUSHED the 7970ghz (which is what the 280x is) across the board - absolutely no competition. These days the 7970 is fighting a 780 in some games.
The 290x lost to a 780ti across the board, now the 290x/390x is rivalling a 980 (and all three cards are faster than a 780ti).
>>51443393
>hardocp
No thanks, can we get a reliable source?
They went so far as to state the fury x is a gtx 980 competitor, not the 980 ti.
And they threw a hussy fit when they didn't get the nano.

Jesus.
>>51443445
The simplest answer (and most logical) is AMD keeps squeezing out more performance from their driver and/or games are moving towards workloads that GCN is good at.
I personally subscribe to Nvidia's gimping because they have a well established history of fucking their customers raw when they feel like it.

>>51443524
They're not the same. Fury has some of its cores and shaders disabled, whereas the Fury X is a fully enabled Fiji.
You can tell the difference in that all Fury Xs are water cooled and look exactly alike because only reference models will be sold. An air-cooled Fiji can only be the Fury.
>>51443524
Fury X is water cooled and has a higher processor count.

I'm spending more on CPU because I do work with COMSOL and MATLAB. Although I'm just assuming that a CPU which can muiltithread well is relevant here. Is that correct or am I retarded?

At this stage of the game you have a few options-
1) relatively cheap fx 8 core setup and hold out for zen
2) i5 and clock it up
3) balls out on an i7 setup and have the cpu last until the end of time

It's limited to a 90Hz range with freesync for some retarded reason.

Buy whatever you'd like. They're at parity at 1440p now with the latest games being released. At 4k, the Fury X has the lead more times than the 980Ti
>>51443234
I don't even know where that benchmark came from. Unless it was day one when the Alpha was available to reviewers. It was ridiculous a chip that much smaller could contend with a mammoth 601mm chip.
>>51443334
Yup.
>>51443403
That's their thing.
>>51443679

WD are server-grade HDD's designed to take punishment. Black drives for example.
>>51443952

kek
Only WD Se and Pro are actual "server-grade" hard drives. Hitachi makes Ultrastars for that and Seagate makes Constellation and Enterprise HDD.
When I look for a card and they have different branding like Gigabyte, MSI, Asus etc does it matter.
I assume it's just some logo shit slapped on it and no real difference? the price differences are so small, couple 10 bucks

>>51444122
>It was ridiculous a chip that much smaller could contend with a mammoth 601mm chip.
Fun fact: on paper a 980ti is a only a few TFlops faster than a 290x and a fury x is an 8.something TFlop monster.
>>51444218
How is Asus as a brand? I could get their card, other choice is Sapphire but I've never heard of Sapphire.
>>51444169
Go with the card with the larger cooler, as long as it can fit your case.
If you are watercooling, you're better off buying a reference card for better compatibility or the most popular aftermarket card (like the EVGA Classified, MSI Gaming, ASUS Strix, or Gigabyte Windforce).
>>51444248
Sapphire is an AMD only AIB, but they make really good coolers for those GPUs. They're usually the cheaper option too, so go for it if it's within your price bracket.

So where is the cheapest place to get gpus? Ebay? Craiglist? Newegg?

Then the brand doesn't really matter. They are all the same exact cards made in the exact same factory. Look at the differences in warranty, because that's the only thing that matters with Fury X.
>>51444275
Thats a pretty nice entry card, well worth it I'd say for non enthusiasts.
Would you guys go SLI 970's if you already own one or start over and go with a 390x(or 980) ?
Is (used)280x for a $145 good enough to buy now? Or its better to wait for next week hoping for some better deals.
>>51444307
probably newegg
but the return policy is dicks
>>51444362
SLI for sure.
>>51444307
Amazon and Newegg, are cheapest online retailers
Fry's Electronics and Microcenter are cheapest brick and mortar stores (although Best Buy will do price matching but their catalogue is very limited)

They're all fine. Avoid ASUS DCU2. The triple fan DC3 is fine though.
>>51444122
>4k, the Fury X has the lead more times than the 980Ti
No it doesn't. And you're comparing it with the stock 980 ti.
980 ti is objectively better than the fury x at everything.

I'm looking for a graphics card to pick up during next week's sales.
As I was comparing stuff between nvidia and AMD, I noticed that AMD cards typically had almost twice the power draw of nvidia's equivalent.
Why is this? Also, how is the temperature and noise between AMD and nvidia?
>>51448287
shills.
>>51448287
Because the AMD gcn architecture is old so they need run the gpu with a higher clock (the 3xx are rebranded). Meanwhile Nvidia use Maxwell
>>51448338
Does this mean that AMD is inherently worse? I don't really want to support nvidia after that whole 3.5 bullshit and that sped up batman trailer, but it seems kind of tempting.
>>51448358
AMD is supposedly better at higher than 1080p resolutions because their cards have retard hueg memory.
>>51448358
>Does this mean that AMD is inherently worse?
nah
>I don't really want to support nvidia after that whole 3.5 bullshit
yes, Nvidia are evils but AMD are incompetent
Will a 380X suffice for a 1440p gaming or should I hold out for black friday deals and get a 390? There is a decent sale on an XFX 390 for 250 right now so I'm finding it difficult to decide.
>>51448404

Don't get a 980. Get a 390 or 390x. AMD wins at all price points except TI.
>>51450695
I don't think so anymore. If they were on the original prices, then sure.
970s are still in the range of 390s price, so it gets beaten unless you see a nice deal like one for $260.
A 980 isn't so great against a Fury on stock, but you can OC it and not only does it catch up, it can beat it. I mention this card because it no longer is on the retarded price range of $550 give or take, it's on $470 while the Fury is still on the $550 price range. Wait, scratch that, newegg has Fury at $500 which isn't that bad at all.
>>51443611
Only seman from really good stock sells for that much.
980ti or Fury X
Fury X is cheaper than 980ti by a small amount
I won't be upgrading until 2017
>>51451362
by the next year when Pascal is out, 980ti will be gimped, like 780ti
>>51444076
1000 watts is enough, hell 850 should be enough. keep in mind a die shrink may make a mid range card significantly more power efficient too boot.
>>51437619
no, a 280 x will get you though hard times and more than hold you over till the next gpu line comes along.
>>51442103
>>51441468
the cpu will only bottleneck you in shit optimized games or if you want to go for 60hz+ im on a phenom II 955 and i honestly barely feel the bottleneck on games that are well optimized,
as for gpu, id go amd 390 or the fury right now, unless you get nvidia for significantly cheaper, and never a 970 just because if anything so much as touches that .5gb of ram thats shit it all fucks up and there have been several games that have used it as a priority section instead of the dont touch unless 100% necessary like it should be.
>>51442412
even than, i wouldn't touch the 970 just because some things touch that .5 when its not necessary.
>>51442444
390, anything less than that is a why the fuck upgrade when a die shrink is around the corner... your gpu isn't that bad.
>>51442479
depends on how shitty the optimizations are, remember nvidia threw those cards under the fucking bus with over tessellation.
>>51451129
next driver update is suppose to be an all around 2-10% increase across all cards, so it make take down the ti is the best... but right now, amd is the choice on all fronts except the ti, and i would never consider a 970 no mater the price unless its stupidly low, like sub 100$.
>>51442958
depends on your budget, the fury nano is hands down the fastest single slot card, but its also 650$ there are single slots that are worse than it and cheaper but this is the best.
>>51443296
i have to ask, what happened to the amd gpu here, it gained significantly before... why the change?
>>51444224
if only those drivers got better faster.
>>51451689
Thats what I was thinking, 290x is better than a 970 now, meanwhile a 780ti is literally shit
>>51443494
i would say its a mix of the two, amd drivers are poor for their overhead and each itterations gets a bit better, benefiting every card that uses dx11, and nvidia will push tessellation hard, something the 700 are worse than the 900 at, where as amd has a driver level limiter for this if you chose.
When will AMD release their commie driver?
>>51448358
380X or 390. Find one with good warranty and cooling or backplate if you want, buy it and enjoy it.
>>51451362
Personally, the Fury X. They've pretty much maxed out what the 980Ti's can do with drivers. We all know the Fury X will start pulling away by more in a few months time
>>51452387
>We all know the Fury X will start pulling away by more in a few months time
Well, it's still behind a 980Ti in DX12 in all resolutions (see the latest Ashes of the Singularity and Fable benchmarks) and has to eat up voltages in order to get any sort of decent overclock out of it (raising voltage on Maxwell simply doesn't work).
The 980Ti is still a better choice, although its one that owners should replace with the next flagship card right away.
Should I? Currently running an HD 5750.
I have a 100W TDP budget and I want to run at console quality. I do NOT give a shit about 60fps because I'm a hyper pleb. 30fps is fine. I will be playing at 1680x1050 for a while, but eventually 1080p.
I'm thinking of a 750Ti 4GB. It definitely can use more than 2GB of VRAM because I want textures in high for everything. But 30fps is fine.
Only concern is if "optimization" for consoles will mean my card is too weak in the future. Wondering about GTX 950 4GB when they come out.
>>51452831
Just installed this in my build last night. I'm struggling to find a game I can't max out at 60fps.
>>51452879
...at 1080p, I forgot to mention.
>>51452879
>>51452892
nice. my current build is grim. I struggle to get 30fps on low setting for some games (fallout 4, metro 2033 redux). So it's really about time I upgrade.
>>51452903
Yeah, you will have no issue crushing Fallout on ultra. Just remember to turn godrays down.
980 TI costs 905 euros.
Fury X 644 euros.
I'm definitely not using 300 to get 5 more fps or something
>>51448287
It's nowhere near twice as much. More like 50% if you're comparing worst case scenario for AMD.
>>51452938
this, unless you're playing on 4k there's no point going beyond a 980 or 390x.
even 390x is diminishing returns tier.
I swear logical increments price things wrong
>>51447705
But the memory is even less than the 970's 3.5. Is it worth it?
>>51453372
There's a nigger on your screen. Watch out.
>>51453372
What is bad information there?
Sorry I'm just tech illiterate fuck

Anyone else experiencing a system-wide slowdown with the Nvidia 359.00 drivers
Pic related, it's my firefox bootup time (I installed the 359.00 driver on the 20th)

a paranoid schizophrenic nigger at that
>>51453427
>nvidia
lmao
>>51452925
So in other words... not ultra. You lowest defined setting IS your overall setting. I totally want to buy an overpowered 8gb vram card, and still not manage to max out all settings....
>>51453651
So Witcher 3 with Hairframetankworks off but everything else on maxmeans your running the game on low beause of hairworks? Sound loghc there Cpt.Autismo.
>>51453747
I got fucking Titan X (clocked) and i7 and I had to turn off hairwork trash to get acceptable stable, above 50fps (54 to 57)
Fucking Hairwork shit.
Goddamn hate nvidia.
Think I got like 15fps increase when I disabled it
>>51453747
The difference here is that God rays is actually a feature that makes your game look better, where hairworks is more of a tech demo that subjectively looks worse.
>people actually try to justify the fury x by saying in the off chance it might catch up to the 980 ti in the future (at least a year from now) by possibly gaining over 40% from driver updates (from a company known for poor drivers)
Really?
I have a really fucking hard time comprehending that.
Like do those people literally outright buy a Fury X and hope in a year it will catch up, being well aware that they are buying an inferior product for a higher price?
>>51453810
Fury X costa bout 130 euros less.
Good buy imo
Which r9 380 is the best? Idk what specs I'm really looking for, red gpus really trigger my autism though.
>>51444505
Which brand? I got mine at around that price too. It's a Gigabyte R9 280x Windforce rev.2.
Anyone here own Fury X? How is it? How much you paid for it? Does it perform at higher refresh rates and resolutions well?

I just ordered an r9 290x for 200$ from ebay
the catch? it's a reference card
the second catch? I already have 2 290x's in my case
I'm gonna make it brahs
>>51453794
>>51453763
Why is hairworks so fucking ugly? Geralt's hair looks great without it
>>51454792
Why are reference cards bad? New to pc parts.
>>51453810
A LESSON IN HISTORY TO NVIDIOTS:
THE 780 WAS SELLING FOR 200$ MORE THAN THE R9 290
WHERE IS THE 780 NOW?
THE 780TI WAS SELLING FOR 700$(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
WHERE IS THE FUCKING 780TI NOW?
THE 980 IS BEING BEATEN IN MANY GAMES IN THIS VERY MOMENT BY THE 2 YEAR OLD 290X
NVIDIA HARDWARE LASTS AS LONG AS IT TAKES THEM TO RELEASE THEIR NEXT OVERPRICED PIECE OF SHIT

They generally have worse overclocking, higher temps and more noise out of the box. The 290/290x reference cards in particular are notorious* for hitting 95C on load as well as being loud.
*not as notorious as fermi, but still
>>51434655
is it worth it to get an egpu? I can already run most of my games well enough on intel hd, but I dont want to invest a few hundred dollarydoos and find out i only get a marginal increase in performance. finding information on this shit is hard as fuck, and I keep finding conflicting information as well, like the ability/inability to use the expresscard 3.0 x16 pci slot
>>51454918
Hmm, so.. what sort of issues do Fury X GPUs run into? Are they all 'reference cards'? How can I tell reference card from non-ref.
I take it non-ref. costs more? Like clearly, costs more with different parts (like different watercooling, fans etc.)?
New laptop has an 8gb GTX 980M :^)
I'm so ready, it'll be replacing my old GTX 560
>>51454998
The fury X is actually pretty good, because it has watercooling instead of a blower like most reference cards.
Where in the power hierarchy does this come?
It seems a complete fucking steal for £150

>>51455041
Yes it has watercooling.
but when I buy Sapphire Fury X
does it still go as 'reference card'
since Sapphire modified the watercooling a bit
http://www.mindfactory.de/Hardware/Grafikkarten+%28VGA%29/Radeon+R9+Serie/R9+FURY+X.html
just wondering if all these are 'reference GPUs' or not.

Took me years to figure out this shit nvidia puzzle. Seriously, wtf?
>>51455133
just be glad it didnt burn up.
>>51454890
Why would you subject yourself to an AMD product when every game coming out nowadays has gamework features?
Is it really like this /g/? :(
just performance wise
>>51455264
two 580s has the performance of a 680, and the 670 is only 10% slower than a 680, so no.
960 is faster than a 680/770
>>51455301
Only in new gameworks titles. At release it was on par with 760.
>>51447626
Gigabyte has locked BIOS, other than that up to you, I like my MSI 390

Every single Fury X in the world is made in the same factory under contract and then distributed to all of the AIB partners like ASUS and XFX. Unlike most reference cards where the AIBs get the chip from the contractor and PCB/cooler design, but produce it themselves.
There isn't a single difference between any of those Fury Xs.
>>51453418
YUH
>>51452031
>the fury nano is hands down the fastest single slot card,
That is a dual slot card.
