owners of 980 ti's and titan x's, how do you feel knowing your gpu is slower than the next $350 "1070" card?

your resell values are terrible. $250 tops for cards that went for $650 - $1,000.
>i can relate, i currently have a 980 ti
>Skipped 980
>Wasn't a problem at all because nothing except one game (W3) has justified the purchase in the last 3 years
Waitbros won
Been in this game since the FX days. I expect my card to be 1/2 as fast as the next gen at 90% of the cost.
Luckily, NZ is half a year behind the curve and the 980ti strix I have are still 1.1k.
How do i know if my computer can upgrade to the 1080?
got the GTX 78 in 2013. still have 1080p display and no games go below 60fps anyways. Not upset :^)
>>54421634
I live in Japan and it takes them forever to react to anything. I could go sell my 980 Ti this week for a high price but I won't because it will be months until the good 1080's are in shops and I'm still not convinced it will do that much better than the 980 Ti in non-VR games.
>>54421634
Don't own Nvidia, but these cards were top of the line for over a year, where have you seen that? In hardware generations past GPUs used to become obsolete practically every six months.
>Old cards perform worse than new cards
Jesus fucking christ is this your first rodeo
you are delusional.
and besides, msrp gonna be 379 - that's closer to 400 than to 350.
>>54421648
I'm in the same boat.
Been using my 760 and skipped the upgrade to the 970 and instead been saving up for 1080.
My 760's been good to me these past months but now it's time to retire.
>mfw 5770
>mfw it just werks
>mfw upgrading to a fury 2 when it comes out
>>54421778
It's out. It costs $1500 and performs about the same as a $600 1080.
>>54421706
it can retard (except if you live in 3d world country and us AGP gpu)
>>54421778
>willingly buying a microstuttering housefire meme gpu

>>54421791
I mean the next gen fury, obviously
>>54421634
lol... i just built a computer with a 980 for my friend earlier today...
A decent 980Ti will be performing just below a 1080, if not the same. At most it's a 20% improvement over the 980Ti, but that's pushing it. However, since the power requirement is lower for the 1080 and the potential for good OC is there for the 1080, 980Ti prices will drop but not too hard. Expect them to be around $400 as they still outperform the 1070.
>b-but muh better than titan X
Pretty much all non-referrence 980Ti's perform 20-30% better than a titan X.
Anyone with a 980Ti is best off keeping their card and waiting for a 1080Ti unless you absolutely need that 10-20% increase. 980Ti's are going to flood the market soon but there won't be hardly any 1080's, and we still need to wait for other companies to make their own version.
>>54421634
>3.5 hundred dollars
tfw fell for 970 meme
tfw prob fall for whatever meme comes with the 1070
Can memes be transferred down generations?
>>54421809
I doubt AMD will do a high end card again. They just can't get it right. No, their place is in middle-low end, in laptops, and gaming consoles.
>>54421634
I'm fine with it, I got my 980ti for $320. No harm, no foul.
>>54421818
call him in a month and tell him it's time to upgrade
>>54421732
well nvidia's asian jew ceo claimed the 1080 in normal gaming situations it will be about 20 - 30% tops faster than a stock 980 ti.
considering its hard to pick up a stock 980 ti these days and most are factory overclocked to be around 10%ish faster than stock, a 1080 will be roughly 10 - 15ish% faster.
what i find interesting is there claim that the 1070 will be faster. if the low end is 20% for the 1080, then that would put the 980 ti on par with the 1070. 30% for the high end? 10% faster than a stock 980 ti. only way the 1070 can be all around faster is if the gap between the 1070 and the 1080 is 15% or lower. its been awhile since we had such a small gap like that. 970 vs 980 was 20%. 780 vs 780 ti was 20%.
>>54421801
My gpu is pci, can I upgrade?
>>54421818
But the 980 wasn't a good buy even before this announcement....
>tfw going to upgrade from GTX 670 to GTX Batman
Only just went from 1.5mbps shitternet to 100mbps fibre a month ago
This year is like I'm travelling through time
>>54421853
>>54421852
That's what I don't get either. Who would buy a 1080 for $600 when you can have two 1070's for $750 and absolutely demolish it? The only reason to get the 1080 is if you want two of those too.
>>54421852
Keep in mind they're talking about the reference 980Ti, and they're trying to push hard that the 1080 is going to be so much better.
They're just baiting people into these cards so they can drop better version next year.
>>54421845
>amd makes cards that directly compete with nvidia
>"amd's place is making gpu's for shitboxes"
Why do they have to release the 1070 a month after the 1080? Why not release them at the same time? Was it like this for the 970 and 980 too?
>>54421882
No one would pay the extra for the 1080.
>>54421823
>Received my 980ti from newegg two days ago.
>Sent it back to newegg for a refund today
No restocking fee, full refund. Glad I did it after seeing the event. The 1080 releases way earlier than I thought it would.
>>54421882
YOU WANT CARD NOW? YOU PAY FOR EXPENSIVE VERSION!
I feel like I get to play games on ultra till this shit is actually released, then I can upgrade because I've got what we in the industry call "a job"
275gtx here, what should i buy? I can still play games on medium.
>>54421888
>>54421893
You saying it's smarter to just wait for the 1070 then? I've been holding out an upgrade for since October.
when's AMD going to releas new GPU's. If they release before NVIDIA, I'll buy theirs.
>>54421889
My post was meant for long-time 980Ti owners. No reason for them to upgrade yet unless they're the type of person who always get that new cellphone every year.
If you were in the EVGA upgrade program though, go for it.
>>54421906
dude, you should wait for AMD.
>>54421858
he can get a 1080 through step up for $100
>>54421888
>>54421893
Basically what happened with the Titan X and the 980 Ti. But at least the 1070 doesn't perform better than the 1080. Nobody got fucked as hard as Titan X buyers.
I remember people selling their original Titans for 300€ a few years ago. Then their prices skyrocketed and are still crazy high because of muh FP64.

>>54421849
>>54421858
funny story about that. friend selected, purchased, and dropped off parts and came back later when i was doing the finishing touches.
i installed the drivers from the cd that came with the card and after i did the update it showed a promo for the 1080 and my friend got cheesed.
>>54421941
My parents are already dead and i'm married, I doubt you could say the same, a person that lives with his grandmother.
>>54421938
(yes)
>>54421939
I have my 980Ti clocked at 1830Mhz so yeah, it's pretty close.
>>54421938
probably, depends on your power supply I guess. But you could upgrade power supply too if its too weak.

Are you mentally retarded? This thread is about technology, it's for people who are interested in technology and not for retards who look to find out their PC specs. Fuck off and google your shit.
>>54421913
man i bought my 980 ti last month.... and its a gigabyte.
if its truly a 10% difference between a 980 ti and a 1080 then i'm fine with that. that's nothing. shit even 20% is nothing considering that's the difference between the 980 and 970 and it never made a difference.
just annoying with resell value considering how much these cards cost. cpu's are great investments. core duo series lasted ages and the i series have been lasting even longer. seemed like gpu's where going down the same path. i remember selling my 670 for $270 back in 2014 with the 7xx series in full force and i only paid $340 for it in mid 2013.
but with nvidia launching a 1070 card for $350 alleged to be faster than the 980 ti... even a 10% destroys their resell value. in my area i'm looking at $200 - $250.
>>54421955
>>54421968

Will the 1070 be the new 8800 or 560? Should I wait for Ti? But we won't even know if 1070 will get a Ti version, similar to 970.
>>54421997
The 1070 isn't faster than the Ti, just the Titan X. An OC on the Ti puts it at near 1080 levels.
>>54421875
>SLI

I still have a 590
is it the new 14nm card series?
So, is it true they offer reference cards for that price? No word on "partners"? Meaning they don't have enough of that gddr5x around or yields are low?
>>54422028
I'll always love you.
>>54422044
It's a new die so it's gonna be several months before they really get going. Until then expect a couple partner cards and a lot of bad cards.

>>54422150
>>54422134 here, >>54422171 is correct to point. Depends on your role. But generally in the dev world, game dev's can pay less because it is kinda like being in the 'entertainment industry'(showbiz) in some peoples minds and if they are gamer background types..it is their Valhalla env so to speak. So yeah, they will take less to be in that world and you bet their are crunch modes that can make you work crazy hours but a lot of them make up for it with perks and an env unlike most places you can find.
I started at Sierra On-line back in the day. Most fun place to work ever. Would get off at 4:30...stay at office fucking around with everyone till 11 and then go home..come back in the morning and repeat..some damn good time partying at work after hours.
I don't know..maybe it is the same at hospitals.

It is fun to step away from something and then maybe revisit it yrs later and then see all the advances made while away..gives it that new car smell for a while.
>>54422185
is that just minimum or full load?
>>54422294
TDP. Not the same as power draw but a very good indicator of max draw. I believe Nvidia is suggest a 500 watt psu for a system with a single 1080.
>>54422268
it just has less cores and lower memory bandwidth

I legitimately hope you're a troll.

I roll SLI 980 Ti's (2x) and Overwatch is around 70-ish FPS at 1440p completely maxed except Render Scale is at 122%. So, a 770 at 1080p might struggle. I suggest turning down shadows and render scale.
Upgrade to a FX 8320 if you don't feel like that pleb CPU is doing good enough.
>>54422477
I get around 200~ fps that dips hardcore at lowest 1080p but my card and cpu run at 90~ Celsius. You think I could max it if I cooled my pc sufficiently?

Can i play witcher 3 on 4k with this card?
>>54422688
Overwatch meme
over 30 fps meme
>>54422638
Depends entirely on the application.
Given that looks to be in the region of a 200w TDP card I would guess Nvidia is going to have a pretty thirsty architecture (at least compared to what polaris).
Now we know polaris isn't the high end chip - thats going to be vega, but it will be interesting to see if the faster polaris chips can compete against the 1070. That is where a lot of the money is. I do suspect this time around Nvidia will have the housefire cards.
>>54422694
No, I have two 980 Ti's and can't max it at 4k. Two 1080s and you will be there I think.
>>54422699
Over 30 is an understandable meme. I run most shit over 100 easy, its just a number to brag about and frankly not that valuable.
Overwatch is actually pretty fun, don't know if I'll actually buy it just yet though.
>>54422700
For new release vidya. I don't do anything else taxing with my PC, really.
>>54422703
1070 betters a Titan X so I doubt Polaris is going to top that or AMD would be shouting from the rooftops.
>>54422718
Depends on the game again. Things like GTA V or Arma 3 are tough on CPU's so if games continue that trend (probably will) then you could be bottlenecked by that chip.
>>54422731
What CPU should I upgrade to?
>>54422679
it is not about power
it is about better tech
new cards are more stable, quieter and more efficient
1080 for Witcher 3 at 3440x1440 maxed w/ hairworks, yes?
>>54421634
People that can afford to spend so much extra for the diminishing returns of the flagship cards probably don't really care about this.
I paid almost half price for my used 970, so I don't feel bad about the new cards at all.

Just wait for Kaby Lake. Or if you are rich get a 6850k this summer.
>>54422723
Well we also have to consider Nvidia is very good at marketing and a lot of their presentation charts are fast and loose with the specifics. Based off the leaked 3DMark 1080 benchmark the 1080 isn't that far beyond the higher clocked 980ti models (and well within reach of those who manually overclock to over 1400mhz).
Still AMD has learnt the hard way not to play their hand too early and I suspect they are waiting until Computex to strike back. Remember :Nvidia's aggressive marketing of the 980ti is one factor into why the Fury x was more or less dead on arrival.
If the 970 fiasco taught us anything is not to take anything Nvidia (or AMD) say as gospel.

yes I can, and I plan on buying the XXXti shortly after it comes out.
Ehh still happy with my GTX680, there hasn't been much to stress it out. Though cheaper 980's will be good
>>54421634
This doesn't upset me in the slightest, and I say this as a 980 owner.
I bought the card at release for a reasonable price and was ok with the performance.
The 390x trouncing it for much less money with greater VRAM upset me more than the idea of the 1080 being twice as good as my 980
>>54421634
I've been using my 980Ti for almost a year now, nothing wrong with that?
Buying a top of the line card you (should) know that within a year, mostly, it will lose its value. It's the same with buying phones, really.
Also if you care that much about a few hundred euros you shouldn't be buying 500+ euros graphics cards anyway.
>>54422850
Nigga do you even remember the 8800GTX jump??? Nothing has come close in the past decade to that kind of hype
>>54421634
>>54421634
your ordinary SLI bridge doesn't work anymore you need to buy the new SLI HB bridge
what a jew fucking move.
>>54421634
>bought my 970 2 months ago
>mfi they don't let me refund
You guys think I should be a good goy and shell out for the 1080? I heard there's some "founders" bullshit for it that makes it $699.
>>54422910
It's a completely different design, what do you expect?
>>54422910
600 dollar card... thats fine
but 20 dollars too much for a sexy SLI bridge?
you are a jew
>>54421634
ill probably buy it since i havent upgraded since 2012
>>54422770
But 8800GTX IS a good card.
>>54422910
You're an idiot
>>54422920
Why would they refund you after 2 months?
>>54422921
Maybe less jewry and communication over pcie ala GCN 1.1 onwards?
I'll use this thread
am currently looking into upgrading my whole rig accordingly but are there no AMD CPU's that support DDR4?
what the fak
>>54422920
Maybe read a tech news site once before you buy a gpu. This was leaked months ago.
>>54422952
I am an avid LTT Vessel watcher, I am pretty caught up.
>>54422947
PCIE doesn't have the bandwidth to do what Nvidia are doing here.
>company X makes new cards, much better than old cards
>HAHAHA! YOU COMPANY X FANS ARE SUCKERS!!!!!
>company X makes new cards, slightly better than old cards
>HAHAHA! YOU COMPANY X FANS ARE SUCKERS!!!!!
There is no pleasing some people.
>>54422910
>help me choose which size
im triggered
Radar cross section of a graphics card seems to be the biggest concern this season.
>>54422972
size doesn't matter, m80, don't worry :^)
>>54422962
Oh lord.
>>54422910
isn't it basically a ribbon cable with a plastic clip around it?
I thought they came free with most aftermarket cards
>>54422985
Come free with motherboards not cards usually.
>>54422985
No, this is innovation.
Not that AMD CrossMISSfire cable shit.
>>54422985
>buy one card
>get connector with it
>but another card
>use first connector and have one useless connector lying around
no it doesn't come with the card bruh
>>54422998
AMD doesn't use cables/bridges.
>>54421634
not waiting for HBM2, instead buy some rehashed crap for 15fps gainzzzzzz yo. Also all this VR tech when reality no new games even give full support to that yet.
>>54421634
>new tech improves things and makes old things less good and therefore less valuable

>>54423010
Are you sure?
They still use GCN 1.0 in some of their cards.
>>54423031
>muh "just wait for the next tech leap"
keep on waiting
>>54422494
turn on vsync if you have more fps than 60/144... whatever your monitor is capable of... that reduces the load on your gpu= lower power consumption= lower temperatures= cooler room=less sweat
I dunno guys, this seems like a pretty pathetic launch. 75% of the shit shown was new API's and all their amazing "architecture improvements" can be explained by the die shrink. Is this just 16nm maxwell with a slightly updated SMU interface and some new drivers? Did they literally cut off 1/3rd off the full die and overclock the fuck out of it only to sell it for an extra $50?
I am not particularly impressed. I really need to upgrade though because my 760ti keeps shitting the bed due to overheating in my little itx case and I have to go with nvidia because I use iray in substance painter/designer. fuck.
>>54423031
>15fps
uhm ok
>haven't upgraded in the last 2 generations
>Doom and Unreal Tournament 2016 run like shit
>upgrade to 10xx
>100fps difference
worth(c) in some cases(tm)
>>54423059
Add gimping old cards with drivers as a cherry on top and you have a standard run off the mill nvidya launch.
>>54423041
bridges is no need, without bridge/cf bridge crossfire still werks. Cable bridges is like ati 1900 series that was long ass time ago.
>>54422268
The actual cost to makes these things is fucking nothing. We're talking a few dollars at the very best. The price comes from R&D which is expensive. And this is how tech rolls, this isn't "cheap", in fact, gpus have been at an all time high in terms of price if you compare to how it was before.
>>54422842
Glad someone enjoyed it, most people here can't take a joke.
I JUST WANT A NEW CARD TO MIGRATE FROM MY FUCKING 280X
EVERY DAY IT GETS MORE AND MORE UNSTABLE
IM AFRAID IT EXPLODES SOON
>>54422974
Underrated post
>>54423110
Send it to me, I want to experience the thrill of Crossfire.
>>54423075
You amd fanboys are really trying everything you can to smear shit at these gpus because the performance bump was amazing, aren't you? Please damage control more.
>>54423124
i dont want to assist in suicide man
>>54423110
what the fuck are you on, my sapphire 280x works like a motherfucking champ
Only noticeable gains in VR.
>all these shills falling for the "twice as good" meme
>>54423127
>10-15% max off a 980Ti
>AMAZING PERFORMANCE BUMP
Dear god, there are still idiots that believe nVidia's marketing after the 970. This world is fucked.
>they actually named it 1080
what the fuck are they doing
>>54423141
My is Gigabyte 280x
>>54423110
Bake it in your oven. Not joking.
>>54423150
>he's still going
Keep digging, amd cuck
>>54423142
>e shills falling for the "twice as good" mem
this.
>>54423158
hes right though. 1080 is only a 1.7x gain from 980ti. confirmed by many people.
>>54423142
I believe what I want to hear.
>>54423165
>70% improvement
>"""""only"""""
>>54423158
We'll see when the benchmarks release, nVidiot :^)
>>54423150
>overclocker's dream
Remember that one?
>>54423165
Wow, that's quite good, no?
>>54423167
70% off a reference 980Ti. Reference 980Ti = slow as molasses.
>>54422964
Yes it does - pcie is still how the gpu communicates to the cpu so it is the bottleneck regardless. Sli is a fucking ancient technology and AMD abandoning it is why crossfire gives better scaling (often considerably better) than sli.
>>54423155
My ovens BROKE
>>54421634
FEELS FUCKING BAD MAN
my 980ti still has more cuda cores and a higher mem bandwidth tho
>>54422264
>using the picture of a smiley with a carat nose
>>54423110
>280x running EVERYTHING at 60-200 fps depending on game
>people falling for novideos "high end" maymay
>>54422575
>am a student, making 15k a year, still have high end stuff
nice excuses yo
>>54422541
cpu is still decent btw, maybe a bit of a bottleneck but shouldnt be noticable for you, you can upg your CPU, mainboard etc. later.
GPU will give you the biggest boost in performance almost always
>>54423170
FUCKING THIS!!!
IT'S GOING TO BE SHIT!!! I FUCKING SWEAR IT!!!! THIS CAN'T BE FUCKING HAPPENING!!!! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AMD'S YEAR TO SHINE!!!!! WHY IS NVIDIA DOING THIS???!!!?!!! I FUCKING WANT TO FORCE THESE PEOPLE TO BUY AMD CARDS, I WANT TO SEE THEM DITCHING THEIR GREEN CARDS FOR THE RED ONES AND LIVE IN AN AMD COLORED DREAM!!!!! I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!! I THINK I'M GOING TO FUCKING THROW UP NOW!!!! I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING CRY PROPERLY BECAUSE I BOUGHT THIS AMD HOUSEFIRE AND IT'S EVAPORATING MY FUCKING TEARS BEFORE THEY EVEN COME OUT!!!!!
FUCK THIS!!! THIS ISN'T FAIR!!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR AT ALLLLL!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>54423183
i bet those cuda cores are really useful to you
>hey miss, would you like to see my cuda cores?
>>54422626
what i truly dont understand is why people here and everywhere else in the Pc community fall for the nvidia ruse every gen when you can easily get something even 2 gens ago running perfectly fine.
>>54423182
Oh shit nigga. Bake that oven in an even bigger oven.
>>54423193
280x aka 7970 beast mode is pure power
but ancient tech and really really outdated by now
>>54423178
I thought Nvida gimped 780 Ti's. What is happening?
It doesn't have HBM2?
Who else here buys expensive hardware and then literally only plays dota/csgo/lol?
>>54423202
lel, no need to project nVidiot, don't worry about it! You probably have the high end market on lock, unless AMD is planning something we don't expect. Leave the poorfag sto us and we'll come back in a few years with the sweet sweet cash of the low end market, like the 4xxx days.
>>54423183
good good let the tears flow. i'll buy your 980 TI for $200 anon, plus tip.
but really
>tfw that wait for vega and 1080 TI
>>54423207
I just like having the newest hardware. I'm perfectly aware I'm a huge sucker. I love pouring over benchmarks and shopping for the best card. Getting it, and overclocking it is blast too. I don't even really game much anymore.
>>54421634
Still 7970
Everything still runs great
Definitely gonna finally cave and go for the pascal shit thoo
>>54423202
kek
>>54423220
Hello. I even have a 40" 4K monitor but run Dota in a small 1080p window so I don't have to move my cursor that far.
