Bought a 980ti for $1000 cad
how bad did i fuck up
Don't you have better things to do manchild?
>>52592099
not really
>>52592068
only about 30$ worse then they cost where i live.
Hahahha I bought one for £571 that's about $700
>>52592068
well, whatever you paid for it, it's not going to need getting replaced anytime soon at least.
>>52592193
>>>>>>>>>implying
>>52592068
>$1000 cad
You fucked up. Canadian prices are SHIT. Enjoy playing catch-up to Pascal and what comes next.
>>52592232
heard that we wont be getting a new nvidea car til summer
aight nobody got time for dat XD
Is a 980ti worth it if im using a 1440p monitor? or should I just stick to a 980. Its like 300 less aud for a 980
>>52592068
you're a cuck.
in 4 months it will get replace by a midrange amd polaris and you can't sell it for $100.
>>52592225
Aw shit. I still had a good price for the uk nonetheless and it's only a £60 difference
>>52592225
That makes it worse. Suck it, Canada, you're equipped for it, hosers stealing gasoline.
>>52592279
i bought it cause i use a 1440p monitor
in witcher 3 its about a 15 fps difference from the 980 to the ti
>tfw I bought a 290x for 1/4th the price
>tfw I probably wouldn't notice much of a difference anyways
>>52592068
You fucked up badly, anon.
You could have got 2 gtx980 for that price
>>52592368
wut

>>52592068
$45 more in Australia and our currencies are basically equal, I think you did pretty good. The Asus model is also (imo), the best and genuinely plays lots of games silently.
>>52592298
>in 4 months it will get replace by a midrange
Absolute horseshit, 780ti is still a great card today, and is years old now
You could have got a fury x for almost $200 CAD less. I would say either you fucked up good or you like sucking nvidia's green cock.
>>52592455
>used to cost >600 dollars
>on par with 300 dollar 970
Dat value.
>>52592517
or i actually look at fps numbers for games that i play and i use basic math to determine which will provide me with the highest fps within my price range
>>52592517
for 200 more id rather have a better card
>>52592517
Fury X will probably cost a good amount more than the retail price in energy costs, over the lifetime of the card. Look how inefficient it is
>>52592533
>>52592553
I bet you faggots still play at 1080p
in 2016.
>>52592575
Its average power consumption is only 35W higher than a 980 Ti, shill. Unless you're planning to own the card for 40 years or game for 24 hours a day every day, you're not going to be making up that price gap, ever.
>>52592601
Havent found another decent screen to buy yet so no, but I dont see how that would make me a faggot... even tho I am.
>>52592068
>spending more than 280-320
>>52592068
do you atleast have enough money for oculus rift left?
>>52592601
implying im not using a 1440p monitor
>>52592640
i hope in a month
i paid for my 980 ti by selling of my spare car
>>52592626
>$1000 gpu
>to play gaymes on a $150 1080p screen
You could have bought something like a 970 or 390 and saved about $650.
>>52592661
>1440p
Ok at least you didn't fuck up as bad as this other anon.
>>52592687
When I find a good monitor I dont have to rma 20 times to get a good one I will get a new screen.
>>52592626
>>52592687
>>52592701
yeah just get a 980 if you really want
the ti will run high end games at 60fps on 1440p
my 780 was fine til i got my 1440p monitor
my monitor is an asus pb278q (although i had to rma cause of a dead pixel)
>>52592575
>400w spikes
Fury X was truly a piece of shit.
>>52592722
I bought a asus rog swift pg279q, but I need to rma it because of backlight bleed... and I dotn want to go through that again so i stick with my shitty current one.
>>52592726
>1080p
Another faggot who thinks you use these cards at 1080p. Take your shilling elsewhere.
>>52592752
>mfw i stuck with a green stuck pixel cause im too lazy to rma
>mfw i never notice it unless i look for it on dark pictures
>>52592774
Im thinking about just getting a tn panel so i dotn have to worry as much about backlight bleeding...
>>52592771
man 1440p is such a middle child between 1080p and 4k
benchmarks are usually one or the other
>>52592771
k
>>52592796
Its too bad really. 27" 1440p is based.
I want to get either a good ips 4k or a one of those 40" 4k korean monitors but O don't think my wallet can handle it right now.
>>52592837
how much do those go for?
>>52592796
1080p shouldn't be discounted because the rift will only require 10% over all more pixels. 1080p gives a nice overview of the potential vr performance and whether if you'll have to lower the settings or not.
>>52592853
really?
i expected the ideal vr res to be around 1440p
>>52592844
Not sure about the good ips but the 40" runs usually between 700-800 sometimes less on sale. And it can double up as tv for whatever you would still use a tv for. I think it even has set of component ins.
>>52592871
1440p has 40% more pixels than vr
Got one for 750 euros, no idea how many burgerbucks that is.
>>52592726
Gtx 980 confirmed GOAT ppw
>>52592891
>750 euros
1150~ cad
I WIN FUCK FACE
>>52592925
Shit's expensive here.
Building my new rig today which was 3300 euros in total.
Yes good goy, buy Nvidia - The Way Its Meant To Be Played™
>>52592068
>Buying gayman cards for autocad
Disgunsting
I bought a 390 for 400 cad (280 US) recently. I use it for 1080. Did I fuck up? Should I have gotten a 970 or 290x for 50 bucks more instead?
>>52593064
>not getting the best on the market
>>52593094
Well given the 980ti is slower than the fury x by some margin in that chart until you go sli you aren't getting the best if you buy Nvidia.
>>52593064
i actually felt sick when i read fallout 4 and thought about playing it again
why did i buy it when i knew it was going to be bad
good thing its super popular and casual so i can get away with selling the ps4 copy for 90% of the original price
>>52593120
Then how come literally any benchmark i've seen the 980ti outperforms the fury x?
>>52593120
HOLY SHIT
i didnt even read the fps numbers the first time
a game running on game byro at 1440p only gets 47fps on a $1000 (cad) card
THATS FUCKING INSANITY
even fucking arkham knight which was smashed for running like shit runs better than that
what the fuck
>>52593131
Same with the witcher 3 unfortunately.
>tfw when I bought it digitally on pc.
I fucked up.
>>52593305
well atleast witcher 3 looks nice
>>52593320
Not as nice as the second one.
>>52593329
have you taken a good hard look at the second one lately?
its really not that great
the characters are a huge thing that got 100% better from 2 - 3
also one non performance hitting mod will fix the draw distance
the colors in 2 are more saturated tho
i dont know if thats a good thing
>>52592387
That's serious work stuff, it's not like anyone on /g/ with their gayming gpus will ever run anything like that.
>>52593379
not enough memeing and frog posting
>>52592368
Quadro master race
>>52593157
That depends on game - the fury x has had some big gains recently.
>>52593186
The test is with ultra godrays iirc and that murders performance. Either way through a combination of FO4 1.3 and the 16.1 drivers AMD has gained a lot of performance in FO4.
>>52593412
>shittiest quadro
>master race
A quadro m6000 costs $5000.
>>52593473
nah, there's the k400, the k420 and the k600 under mine
also Ayy LMAO
>>52593412
>Quadro
>Locked processor
Hah.
>>52593492
I don't need a k processor. Overclocking is a meme
you paid $600C too much for a GPU
>>52593157
Because cherry picking. One thing you notice about these amd shills is that they NEVER post the overall performance and instead pick outliers and edge cases.
>>52593761
Overall performance of what? Techpowerup's charts are great but you are still limited to the games they test with. BF3 for example skews results in their suite a little as it massively prefers Nvidia cards over AMD ones.
>>52593844
>Overall performance of what?
>>52593844
>BF3 for example skews results in their suite a little as it massively prefers Nvidia cards over AMD ones
>>52593902
BF3 is free with everything now, it's 5 years old.
>>52593902
That doesn't change the results you dipshit. Just because AMD did a game bundle with it doesn't mean in the here and now the game prefers Nvidia hardware.
>>52593915
BF3 is an amd sponsored title.
So is BF4.
So is Battlefront 2015.
>>52593936
Derp *prefers AMD hardware.
Ironically an Nvidia sponsored game prefers AMD hardware.
>>52593936
>>52593949
Not sure what you're trying to show. Those benches aren't even from the 980 ti waterforce bench you started the discussion with.
Don't know why you picked BF3 out of all the titles either, because the 980 ti outperformed the Fury X on
every
single
title.
>>52593990
And it here it is again.
But hey let's complain about BF3 when the Fury X performs slower on all titles.
>>52592883
WHY would you pay $700-800 for a korean 40" 4K when the phillips one costs the same?
>>52592304
That's not a good price, I got my Superclocked 980 Ti for £500
>>52594011
Dunno what you mean, the fury x is outperforming the 980ti, just not the 980ti waterforce from gigabyte.
I would cite the fact that the fury x can be overclocked, but the reply is always "nuh-huh!"
>>52594034
at least the chance of the Korean ones matching the quality of an LG are higher than Phillips matching... RCA?
>>52594043
The expensive $650 Fury X is comparable to a $600 reference throttling 980 ti that is 400mhz slower than a cheaper $530 non-reference 980 ti, while having 2gb less vram and consuming 25% more power. In a industry where gameworks is on 99% of games.
I hate to use that word but if you buy AMD you're a cuck.
>>52592404
canadian dollars you fucking imbecile.
>>52594108
In bongland the fury x is 100 bongs cheaper than the waterforce.
>>52594147
A reference 980 ti can overclock to the waterforce levels without any issues. But while running under the stock fan profile the card throttles and performs like shit on benchmarks so it's not a true indicator of what its actual capabilities are.
>>52594204
/g/ seemed to use the throttling reference 290x as an indicator for 290x performance. You can't have it both ways.
>>52592068
you are an actual retard
The entire manufacturing process has been revamped this year and actual, ACTUAL next-gen cards will be released
if you can, return it and wait a few months
>>52594251
Don't worry, anon will just upgrade when Nvidia gimps maxwell to sell more pascal cards.
>>52594251
ti versions won't be released for another year.
>>52594322
So what? Even the non-TI versions are going to be significantly better in every aspect compared to the 980TI
You did good, Son
>>52592068
>1000$
>for a card that will be rendered completely worthless this year
what the fuck are you doing
>>52594338
Cmon anon we're all adults here. Stop the memes for a second. Let's stop pretending we know about something nobody knows at this point.
>>52594410
>die shrink from 28nm to 16nm
>thinking a little overclocking and the Ti nametag is going to be relevant in any way
We're talking about doubled transistor density here
>>52592953
Anon if you're around can you post a parts list of your build?
> >3k euros holy fuck.
That's over 6k of my Canadian dollars I believe.
>>52594410
You have no idea what you're talking about
The last die shrink happened from the 500 to 600 transition, the 600 series was 50% faster while using 25% less power / heat
This year is a fucking significant change
>>52592068
Return it, wait for the new GPUs
>>52594560
cmon anon 500 was fermi v2 and 600 was kepler v1, both 28nm.
14nm cards with hb2m are about half a year away, so I definately would have waited for that if I was you
>>52592068
>spending > $300 on a card
first of all that card is shit for what you're paying but most $100 mid tier cards are basically only a few GBs behind high tier cards and they have pretty similar clock speeds/BUS speeds
>>52594492
Consider last time Nvidia jumped on a node shrink, new memory type AND new architecture the 480 happened. I really have my doubts that pascal is going to be as good as polaris given AMD's experience with HBM and has historically lead on node shrinks.
>>52592193
Damn man mine was £450
>>52592068
I guess you didn't fuck up.
I bought a Fury non-X for 400 britpounds instead so I can use it in my virtual machine, which NVidia doesn't allow for. Didn't want a Fury-X because I wanted silence at idle which the pump noise wouldn't allow for.
People keep saying that the Fury can't overclock, but it's happy at 1150MHz, so 15% OC. Holds 55-65 fps on the Witcher 3 at 1440p, which is silky smooth with freesync. That's enough performance for me at the moment.
Frankly, I don't know enough about the 980-ti to know if it would do much better or not, but like I said I wouldn't be able to use it.
Full disclosure: it did actually crash once with the 'crimson' drivers, so I've gone back to the 'catalyst' ones to be safe for now.
>>52595439
ugly
>>52595782
What would you prefer, Anon? Red racing gamer stripes plastered on everything? Brown/beige Noctua fans, perhaps?
>>52595901
This is /g/, if your pc doesn't look like a Razer product catalogue its inherently ugly. Naturally as the consumer whores /g/ is populated by form is more important than function.
