So I bought my first GPU 3 years ago with the GTX 660ti, and I'm gonna be getting a GTX 1070. I've heard people talk about how it's good to wait for the third party versions of the cards, but I'm kind of eager to upgrade.
Which of you guys are buying immediately or waiting, and what benefits could be yielded from waiting for 3rd party versions of the new cards? Them already being overclocked and having paste? Also, how long after official release do the third party versions of the cards come out?
bumpf
>>54485379
I have a 980 Ti, don't need one. Also 4K is a meme resolution.
I'm interested. 970 frame timings are pissing me off.
I'd consider AMD but they never release products when i'm looking to upgrade.
>>54485379
>GTX 660ti
Every time I see someone mention they bought that piece of shit, it makes me laugh at their stupidity
>>54485379
Considering that the PPW improvement is only in line with the MP shrink (~45%), as in no architectural improvements, and actual performance is still within the realms of an overclocked 980ti... yeah, nah. Nothing to see here.
Not to mention the founders edition meme...
Hats off to Nvidia for managing to spin the media like they always do, though. Absolute horse shit.
>>54485379
I am ready to go once released. I have a 770GTX currently and my Vive arrived early. Surprisingly my 770 has run everything I have tried so far on it, and pretty decently too. So yeah I am grabbing a 1080 once out but prefer to buy EVGA so will wait for their card. I also have 3 144hz monitors and projector to run off it so will be nice to have everything running at max perf.
>>54485379
>bought my first GPU
>GTX 660ti
>GTX
Jesus... I thought I was young; but when I bought my first GPU Nvidia didn't even exist, much less the GeForce / GTX branding.
This board has really gone down the shitter.
>>54485379
The 1070's gimped memory will likely mean that overclocking won't help it much. Don't fuel Nvidia's faggot deceptive paper launch by buying a FE. Wait for third party and get a good deal if you really want it.
>>54486314
At least OP has finally seen the error of his ways.
>>54486900
OP likes getting gimped on memory. He bought a 660ti ffs.
>>54486314
>>54486920
There is literally nothing wrong with a 660Ti.
>>54485379
Waiting for AMD's announcement to see if their top polaris 10 is anything near a 1070. Then it's down to price and availability.
I'll probably get a 1070. I only have a (non gaming) laptop at the moment and want to build a gaming computer soon. Since I'm not upgrading from anything, I don't care if this is not that much better than last gen cards. The only thing that could change my mind is if Polaris is more competitive and comes out not that much longer after the 1070 does, I'm tired of waiting.
>>54487399
as long as you use <1.5GB and don't push the shitty bandwidth too hard :^)
>>54487470
Your waiting has paid off. Remember, being a waitfag is pointless if you never actually buy the shit you're waiting for. BUT I would see polaris has to offer at least.
>>54488122
>using the smiley with a carat nose
>>54485379

Huang said that the 1070 will be faster than Titan X, but forgot to mention that it's only in VR with multiprojection. Performance in normal games will be much lower. The 1070 has 6.5 Tflops, while the 1080 that has 9. That makes it 72% as fast. For the 1070 to be as fast as the 980 Ti/Titan X, the 1080 would have to be almost 40% faster than them, and we already know that's not the case. The 1070 will be around normal 980 performance, and cost more than a 980 now because only the founders edition will be available at first. If Polaris will offer the same performance but for 300$ instead of 450+, why not get that instead? :^)
I heard NDA for the benchmarks of the 1080 ends on May 17, feels like a long wait given the shitstorm of speculation and rumours around concerning the 1080''s performance vs the 980ti and titanX, tick tock I guess.
>>54488754
>using the smiley with a carat nose
>>54485379
I will wait to see actual performance (non-VR) benched by third parties, and how AMD's card are in comparison.
I think I should be able to survive this gen of GPUs without upgrading once again. In the off chance I won't be able the stuff I can want how I want, I'll be fully upgrading my system and probably getting a 1070
Wait for the third party benchmarks.
Nvidia's own performance ratings are super unreliable.
Mainly because they cherrypick like motherfuckers.
AMD does the same shit. Don't trust them.
>>54485379
I'm not going to buy a 1070/1080. I hear you on wanting one, I don't blame you if you have a 660.
I went 680, gave my 680 to my bro and got a 950, and I'm going to stick with the 950 from now to the 11xx gen. I could see myself getting an 1170 if it's a serious improvement over the 10 series, but as of now I think I'm going to go 950 for the next two to three years. Quite possible more.
Being preemptively defensive (not directed at OP): Call it a crap card and you'd be "right", but the 950 plays every modern game at acceptable framerates and graphics.
>>54486900
This. The hype is out of control right now. I predict at least some disappointment. I'm waiting it out until we have Pascal and Polaris references, multiple sources of benchmarks, and prices settle.
>>54489055
You know what, I know I'm going to sound bipolar here, but now that I realize the 1070 is less than 400 I'm kinda interested. I assumed the 70 would be $499 and the 80 would be $600-700
>>54486900
You're going to insult us by accusing us of being willing to purchase reference chipsets? The GALL. I SAY.
>>54489055
Yeah. Honestly, I'm slowly getting the itch, but I could ride my 7850 for another year I think. Probably won't see huge changes until new consoles. Isn't the cysis days any more.
>>54489077
>I assumed the 70 would be $499 and the 80 would be $600-700
Your assumption was correct
These were announced the day I was about to pull the trigger on my parts list. Might as well wait for the latest and greatest. If I want better cooling on the reference card, I'll install it myself.
>>54489077
I doubt you're going to see it under $400 for a while.
>>54489027
Wrong website.
>>54489077
Yeah nvidia did good with their low pricing. Amd were probably never expecting it to be this low. No one was to be honest. I'm going to be picking up a 1070 in December/January at that $379 price point because these cards will be sold out everywhere for months and you'll probably only be able to find people reselling for over $400.
>there are people in this thread right now who are triggered that Nvidia released a couple of very good performing cards for cheaper than their expected prices
Wew
>>54489118
I don't understand, OP's image lists it as sub 400... you mean the aftermarkets will be considerably higher? Usually that hasn't been the case in the past. My EVGA 950 is cheaper than the reference board.
>>54489132
OP (I know, yeah, I trust everything I read on the internet) lists the MSRP as $379. What do you mean?
Also, I just looked it up, PCWorld is saying the same thing as OP. So this card will be "reasonably priced".
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3067744/components-graphics/nvidias-geforce-gtx-1080-and-gtx-1070-founders-edition-graphics-cards-explained.html
I'm building a full new rig since I sold my old one before I left the country 9 months ago. Came back now. I'm deciding between waiting a little longer than I intended for these new cards, or taking advantage of the price drop on something like a 980ti. Not sure what I'll end up doing though.
>>54486314
*tips*
I'm poor and young, so my first build will probably have a 1070
Or maybe an AMD card
>>54489439
You realize that you can build a computer that will play games on max or near-max graphics for the next two to four years with parts that are already a year or more old, right?
You can go Vishera/GTX, you can go XENON/R9, whatever you want, you will do better than to buy a full-price 1070
>>54489466
I know, it's just a consideration
>>54486871
Alot of ppl switched to pc gaming around the time gtx600 series was new so thats why you see alot of ppl claimin that as their first card. My first gpu that i personally bought whit my own money was amd 5450 and i regret that decision still
>>54489475
If you're willing to wait for the 1070 then wait, it's the cheapest "ultra-high-end" gpu in a while. If you want to save a little (read: A LOT) of money, then look at the most cost-effective things available right this second and order carefully based on them.
>>54489496
I'm sorry, what? A "LOT" of people switched to PC gaming around the time the 6000 series was new. I don't mean Radeon 6000, I mean GeForce 6000.
>>54485379
Would have to get a new monitor also as they'll be overkill for 1080p. Waiting for dealz in the fall
>>54489439
Search eBay for used pc components. You can probably find a used 970 or something around that level of performance for ~$100 less than brand new retail prices. Same goes for the cpu. Just make sure the buyer is a reputable seller and pay through PayPal obviously because they'll cover you if you get sold something that's misleading. I saved £200/£300 ($289/$433) by buying some things used off eBay or through Amazon warehouse when building my pc last December.
>>54489582
Just make sure you buy from a reputable seller*
>>54489358
Founders edition is $450, and nothing stops companies for selling over msrp. And with the amount of hype and people already saying they want it and want the non reference more than the founders, it's gonna start out high, sell out, and climb higher if I had to guess. Maybe zotacs or something will be $400 flat.
I just started building a pc out of "scrap" that people gave me because they got newer stuff the only shitty thing is the graphic card
A 1gb gddr5 asus card not sure which model it is exactly
I really wanted to buy a 980 but now that i have seen these cards i am glad i didn't start sooner
I'll propably wait till they release and hope the prices of the old cards drop
How much drop can i expect?
>>54489654
What cpu? No point dropping big bucks if it's going to bottleneck.
>>54486830
Not to meantion No Hardware Async
You'd be better off just waiting until the next generation...
1070 now to replace my 750ti, will upgrade to 1180ti with hbm2 in 2018 :^)
>>54489667
I7 3xxx not at home atm
3.5 ghz
8mb cache if i remember correctly
>>54489667
Will an i5 3570k bottleneck a 1080?
might wait until sometime after launch until the price drops, did a bit of research and they seem pretty promising
>>54489753
Depends on the game
>>54489508
This.
>>54489759
Well I'm not going to play whatever that shit game is.
>>54485379
For 699 I'd rather get a 980
>>54489759
i regret not getting a i7 now
Fuck i had a 920 back in the day
>>54489783
GTA V is fun in SP, only the Online is shit
>>54489783
GTA V
Basically it will have some issues with cpu intensive games
>>54489751
>>54489667
Ah.. Found it
I7 3770k
>>54489777
Sounds like bullshit desu senpai. My first gpu was a fucking 3dfx Voodoo2, how fucking child like do you have to be to "get into" pc gaming when gtx series came out God damn kids.
>>54489334
>MSRP is $380
>Actual price is $450
The price of something is how much you can buy it for, not some arbitrary number the company says. They could set the MSRP to $1, but that wouldn't make the cards cheaper.
>>54486871
Nvidia was founded in 1993, and they coined the term GPU.
If you're like 35 and you "thought you were young", yeah well you're not.
>>54489859
I'm 23. Time moves forward. One day you'll die, and see what good it does you on your deathbed whining how much things have gone downhill since people younger than you started existing.
I was going to get a 980ti for VR but I'm disappointed in it. I do need an upgrade but I think I'm going to wait for the 1080ti equivalent.
>>54489966
It's cucks like you who are spreading trap shit. Damn kids these days.
>>54490053
great shitpost. I rate it 8/10.
I'm getting 1060/ti.
>>54486294
>AMD
Disgusting
Threads... Threads never change
I thought it was a /b/ thing to rage at eachother without reason but it's the same here
>>54489870
You are aware that in almost all circumstances the MSRP is higher than what the retail price ends up being? For some reason you think it is the reverse. Do you live in a 3rd world country?
Wait for Polaris.
I'm going to get a 1080, just after it's been out long enough for me to know if I'm going to be jewed again like I was with the 970.
If it ends up not being worth it, I'm just going to get a 980ti after the price drop.
Yeah, I'll be getting the 1070.
It's actually much more affordable than I had thought it would be, and although we don't have any benchmarks I'd find it hard to believe that Nvidia just completely made up all the claims about it being faster than a Titan X.
>>54489017
an wha?
Does anyone know how long it takes for them to make waterblocks for these cards?
>>54489945
>>54486871
Ha ha you're old
>>54488754
Yea. Only real benefit is faster and larger VRAM
>>54485379
when an oc strix (or any other silent) version comes out and I feel the need for consumerism.
the 970 can't deal with 3440x1440 well enough.
>>54485379
Waiting for Pascal titans
>>54485379
None
When they officially released both card into the wild, older card will drop in price. I'm going to get a 980/ti, because my usage is never going to be anything straining anyway. Also Newer game didn't offer anything particularly exciting nor demanding (except dx12) and my monitor resolution is 1600×900 anyway, and I'm not planning on upgrading it. The only thing I'm excited for is Vive VR, and 980 is already good enough
>>54485379
What CPU and board should go w the new GTX?
And recommendations for a reasonably priced build?
>>54486871
my first was a 512kb ISA card.
Of course, can't wait to play all the exciting quality games of 2016 the way they were ACTUALLY meant to be played
What's the best value upgrade from a GTX570?
I've just now reached the point where my 460 is incapable to play anything high-end even on the lowest settings. Casual shit like overwatch still runs fine on it.
The 1070 should last me another 6 years, especially since I'm not falling for the 4k meme yet.
Gonna get a low-end card of the new generation
More than enough for dota/cs/battlerite, just want low power consumption and heat output
Only idiots buy the first reference models.
Wait for custom 1080 Tis to hit the market next year.
>>54485379
im not now that Polaris is comfirmed meh so ill get a Vega10 in October
Only good thing about Pascal was its early release and cheaper price point so that means AMD's high end replacements will be cheap as fuck
Less than 4 months to go i am fucking hype havent changed GPU's in over 3 years
Only worth it if you have something earlier than a 900 series and / or you intend to do VR gaming.
No I'll wait to see what AMD has to offer first, and of course to see real benchmarks from both sides. Unless you're in a real hurry for some reason, I think it'd be pretty dumb to decide before even having all the information.
>>54485951
while this is incredibly retarded, how much of a difference would I even spot on a 25-27" monitor? I'll be going from 1080p. Something tells me that 144hz 1440p would be better for gaming than 60hz 4k; even if I CAN reach 60fps at 4k. Because I can always downsample.
I think I might leave 4k for televisions
>>54488754
not to mention that the 1070 has less bandwidth than a 980
hell, getting a 980 with a good cooler and overclocking it is STILL the best mid-high range option
>>54489466
Will it be able to do 4k at 60+ fps? And VR?
>>54494791
>Will it be able to do 4k at 60+ fps? And VR?
Even 1080 wont be able to do that.
I might if it really preforms better then 980 SLI in actual ingame performance, my 7970 has served me quite well so far.
>>54494941
Vega definetly will.
Nvidia are fucked they thought this glorified maxwell/kepler OC with a die shrink and Some more Async bolted on would last 2 year until Volta
They are majorly fucked
4870 all over again WEW here we come
>>54491069
But the MSRP of pascal doesn't reflect the products that will be sold.
>>54494941
Guess I'll wait for something better then
>>54489749
>using the smiley with a carat nose
>>54485379
Buying in first hour of launch or your not getting one till there stocked again in fall
599 / 365 = $1.65 a day

Wew. I can totally afford that!
>>54495172
if you put $40 of a bi-weekly paycheck into a savings account, you could have a 1070 in about 5 months
lmao
>>54489783
You mean GTA V? The game that broke seven world records for sales?
>>54495242
>what is Call of Duty
Great sales = great games! :)
You think guys think an i5 3570K overclocked to 4.6ghz would bottleneck the 1080 or should I just go for the 1070 or even wait for vega?
Most I'll be doing is 1080 60hrz, maybe get a 1440 144hrz monitor if it can run it.
>>54485379
Nope. I'm happy with my 3.5gb memecard and I only play on 1080p anyway. Probably won't get another card in the next 4 years.
>>54485379
Wait for HBM cards, should hit the market beginning of 2017. 660ti is imho still good enogh to wait some months.
Then prices for the 1070 will propably drop and you can see the full potential of the new chips and compare
>>54495256
Even if youre not going to overclock it it will be more than enough. Dont fall for i7 meme.

I would love to see GTA V taking advantage of dx12.
>>54491069
>>54491069
Because in most cases demand just isn't this high and the supply isn't this low and competition is usually much more ubiquitous.
This isn't a bag of chips of which trillions are produced per day, sat among hundreds of other chip choices on the shelves, which are sat amidst a literal mountain of snacks of all kinds. And even then they still sell over msrp sometimes. You think beanie babies were selling for msrp?
Would my memeLake 6600k bottleneck these cards?
>>54491781
Good luck getting a decent one under $450 in the next 6 months. Nvidia was definitely trying to generate hype with that msrp unlikely to translate to reality, and it worked pretty well. Otherwise, why isn't their reference card $400? Still high enough not to undercut their board partners.
>>54495425
This.
>>54495317
If I get the 1080 I'll prop up my monitor, just not to 4k unless this does the 4k 60fps meme which I highly doubt it will.
>>54495251
Fair enough. Single player gta v is easily 9.5/10 in my opinion though.
can someone explain the outrage over this gpu?
>>54495410
I doubt it.
>>54495256
depends on the game
If its Siege and GTA V i would have to say yes
But if your only playing at 60hz it wont worry you
My little i5 4690 3.9ghz gets to well over 90+ in Siege.
If you have a 144hz monitor its going to be a problem.
>>54495486
Its just an overclocked maxwell for 700 dollars
No async shaders
No memory bandwidth
7.5gb of vram

Waiting for something with a better cooler to land. I don't like reference coolers.
>>54489759
Why is the CPU usage on the i7 at ~50%?
>>54495702
Its been benchmarked and its as fast as an OC'd 980ti, but with less memory bandwidth. It cant do 4k or dx12
>>54495723
Seriously? I should get a 980ti instead of this then?
>>54485379

>>54495739
No, wait for polaris and get a card that can actually do DX12 and run Doom at higher than 90fps at 1080p
>>54495739
No you should wait until AMD shows off vega to see what they have to offer, which will undoubtedly fuck nvidia in the ass.
>>54495716
HBM is a meme. It's great memory bandwidth but cards don't need that much memory bandwidth, and it's hella expensive to put on a card.
If nvidia used HBM2 they wouldn't get the volume they need. They'd have to raise prices on cards.
ITT: asspained Maxwell owners try desperately to defend their shitty GPU's as being relevant.
>>54495786
i wonder if second gen fixed it's heat problem
at least somewhat i'd hate for it to be dead in 3 years, i guess we will know in 2 more years when furies maybe start to brick memory

Dude, all you need to do is wait a few weeks more.
Gigabyte Xtreme Edition is coming in June.
http://wccftech.com/nvidia-gtx-1080-gigayte-galax-custom-cards-teased/
>>54495650
Now we only need to wait for benchmarks to get all AMDrones butthurt as fuck. Biggest suicide watch of decade is coming now. Nvidia has ALWAYS had the fastest graphics card past 4870. Nothing will change. AMDshills are up for surprise when the async doesn't save their shitty mid range cards. That fucking feel when pascal has async too.
>>54491353
AMD with their wait meme. Never did they deliver.
Just leave graphics cards to the professionals, leave it to the Nvidia.
>tfw there are so many buttflustered amdrones because nvidia released a powerful card for cheap monies
>tfw they take this shit so seriously they're probably reconsidering their existence right now after nvidia dropped the bomb on all these basement dwellers
>tfw I'm going to buy a 1070 and an amdrone will die a little inside after reading that
:^)
>>54485379
I'll probably be upgrading late summer/early fall to a 1080. After prices stabilize a bit and some third party coolers are released. Should be a nice upgrade from my 780.
>>54496104
>tfw there are so many buttflustered amdrones because nvidia released a powerful card for cheap monies
Hard to make me feel excited for the 1080 when it's $150 more at launch than the 980 was.
I've got an old 750Ti in a brand new i7-6700 system.
What upgrade should I get to play modern games?
>>54485379
I will buy my gpu when vega comes out, I dont want to pay $300 for memesync and $100 for memefounder... I could get a 1070 for that
>>54496063
>That fucking feel when pascal has async too.
It doesnt.
>>54496167
For reference cards yes. BUT they are doing that so OEMs can offer cheaper cards.(So nvidia doesn't undercut them).
The OEM cards are 50$ more then the 980 on launch date.
>>54493885
I think I'll buy both. You should really only buy top of the line graphics cards for home use if you have the disposable income necessary to deal with rapid obsolescion.
>>54496104
>tfw I'm going to buy a 1070
Lmao at your poorfag ass.
>>54496225
you don't know that yet. But what matters is framerate, which is better on Nvidia. 90% of the time. choke on tesselation.
>>54496226

If it had async they'd told about that at presentation baka.
I planned to buy new PC around mid or late July - if 1070 would cost 280 EUR around that time, then I would buy.
If not, I would probably only transfer GTX660 from previous PC and wait for 1060 or something, quietly weeping how Im forcing myself to wait even more after planning whole upgrade since 2 years.

>>54496262
vega will not be called the 5xx series, those will be high end cards with hbm2 and at least with double the performance of the best polaris card
>>54485379
you can get a 980TI for 450 right now if you dont want to wait
>>54496276
They mentioned it on their release blog. They wouldn't mention it at all if they didn't have it as they'd know the backlash, yet they still say they've advanced their aysnc capabilites in their blog.
Check it out yourself if you don't believe me.
>>54496373
Ive seen it. They just improved what they had in maxwell.
>>54496272
4k is a meme in gaming when you can't even get 60fps on it unless you buy 2 980ti at which point you're a fedora wearing faggot.

>>54496280
What should I aim for anyway?
I was planning to buy GTX 960 but dont know anymore.
Upper limit for my new PC is around 780 EUR, with HDDs and RAM from previous machine.
>>54496405

what are we expecting from two 1080s in SLI?
>tfw my computer will never turn into a green plasma cannon whenever i touch my razer utility belt
>>54496445
Polaris will rule mid market.
I have a 770 and a 2500K, will I need a new cpu if I plan on a 1070?
>>54496394
>implying framerates are more important than resolution
I guess it comes down to taste, though.
>>54496290
Seriously, at this point the only way to get reliable 60fps even without ultra settings, you have to run multi GPU setups and a 1500W PSU.
Once 4k ultra 60+fps is reliably possible with a single GPU, then it's nk longer a meme resolution. Till then, 1080p and 1440p are the realistic single GPU non-meme resolutions

And this is why I'd never buy amd. How can people get so mad at other companies if it wasn't fueled by buyers remorse.
>>54496496
21:9 is best resolution
>>54496469
Polaris is late year deal, besides, 1060 should come around Fall, so why should I get AMD card that will be much weaker than that?
>>54496515
>And this is why I'd never buy amd
That's dumb, anyone intelligent would buy whatever is the best price/performance for what they want to do.
My 970 SLI works fine for 1440p60 right now so I'll probably wait until 1080ti or 1180 before biting the bullet. That should coincide with high framerate 4K monitors and/or the second gen VR systems pretty well. Resale value of the 970's probably won't be great by then but I sort of missed the boat on that already I suppose.
I'll see how well BF1 runs but I can't imagine that it will be that punishing at only 1440p. Definitely not interested in going SLI again; this is my second time doing it and I'm tired of the niggling issues and not impressed with the long term prospects of SLI even with DX12/Vulcan.
>>54496531
Not to mention that I want a card that will last for 2 years at least. Like 460 and 660 did. Not some cheap crap that will be totally useless after 6 months.
>>54496394
>gaymer who unironically uses a hat in his arguments in charge of calling people faggots
You must be 18 or older to post here.
>>54496445
I'd wait to see AMD's card's as its not going to do you any harm to see what they offer and polaris is aimed at good cards on the cheap.
If you really want nvidia then I'd wait for 3rd party 1070 oc or something.
>>54496540
Yes you're right. Nvidia has the best price/performance in my country anyway. That guy probably overpaid for some overpriced amd trash and is projecting his buyers remorse on a Japanese image board.
>>54496550
>I want a card that will last
Should've bought a Vapor-X 290X then, son.
>>54496551
Not an argument.
>>54496543
I'm actually considering a 970 or 980 after the new cards release and the have a chance to drop in price. Am I being retarded? Should I just bite the bullet and get a 1070? I have been traveling for the last few years and I am just settling down again so I am building a tower from scratch.
>>54496581
>700$
Nope.
Maybe but only after Polaris is reviewed.
It all depends on the price/performance and fan noise for me.
>>54496579
If Nivida is best price/performance, buy that. If AMD ever manages to beat them out in price/performance at the high end (lol) I'd buy it.
>>54496543
>Radiator on exhaust fan
I'm waiting for the bigger chip (1080 Ti)
>>54496608
>$700
It was going for literally half that and it aged beautifully. I didn't buy one either, had a GTX780, but you've got to be some kind of a special person to deny that non-ref 290X weren't one of the best buys if you managed to snag them when prices tanked.
>>54496506
It'll be $600-630.
>>54495718
Because it's now GPU limited.
>>54496677
I was sitting at 660 around that anyway.
I usually buy x60 cards anyway. Since I planned to buy whole new PC, it was the first time I actually considered buying x70 instead. But the price drop (if any) is still not certain.
>>54489112
>7870oc + i5 2500k
>tfw have no urge to buy new GPU because it runs every game i'd ever want on it on high settings
>but i still for some reason really want to start a new build
>>54485379
Maybe after I get the dosh for a good monitor and maybe VR headset first.
I just built my first desktop in Jan and I have a 970 right now that I got for $200 a while ago from a friend that has been working wonderfully. I technically am VR ready with my rig, so there is no real need for me to upgrade right now, but if I decide I really want to VR at more than a base level/for porn then I will probly invest in a 3rd party 1070 at some point.
A monitor that outputs at a higher res than 1360 is paramount on my list of upgrades though.
>>54496741
Okay sure, if you say so.
>>54496773
You know what? You're right and I'm wrong. Non-reference cards will be $800 or $200 more than msrp because that's how it's always been, right?
>tfw some people got 980ti for $130 open box at Microcenter because of the hype
I'd kill a newborn child to have one within reasonable driving distance. Could be done with this fucking waiting game rumor clusterfuck.
I'll have to see what 1070 sli looks like. 1080 is garbage price/performance. Also GP100 being twice the power puts me off, but at this rate it will launch at $1000. Vega launching in October now could be nice.
>>54485379
I'll likely buy 2 1080's for SLI the moment they launch providing there isn't too much price gouging in the UK. Likely go with whatever MSI make because they've been my go-to for video cards for both the 980 and 580's I've had.
>>54496642
It's on intake now that I switched to 280mm (after my first cooler died).
Im using a 5 year old card and havnt really been able to game in last year or so. Probably upgrade to i7 6700k and 1080 to do light streaming/gaming.
>>54496846
Never mind, I'm dumb, it was a 970. Knew that sounded too good. Still.
>>54496887
Is that the Fractal R2 XL? How is it for noise with the sli setup?
I'm also wondering how fucking loud the 1080 is gonna be to keep those temps low when it's OC at 2100mhz.
The day it becomes available in my country. I'm still rocking a GTX580 but I need an upgrade.
>>54496205
i think your igpu is stronger than 750ti at this point
>>54497086
It's not. An overclocked 750 Ti is nearly a 660.
>>54497097
new iris is almost 770
>>54496980
I'm also wondering how fucking loud the 1080 is gonna be to keep those temps low when it's OC at 2100mhz.
probably not that loud considering its drawing very little power thus not producing a mass amount of heat. it'll be about the same or even quieter than the 980 stock, I'd say.
>>54497114
>I'm also wondering how fucking loud the 1080 is gonna be to keep those temps low when it's OC at 2100mhz.
forgot the damn greentext
>>54497109
No it's not.
>>54485379
grab a third party card in june or just after, after I've secured some other upgrades. And before Deus Ex releases
>>54496543
>>54496887
Hey /v/!
If theres something I learned from the 970 fiasco is: do NOT buy at launch
Currently running on a 770 2g and its starting to age
>>54485379
No
Already got burned with gimping meme on the 780ti. Not dealing with Nvidia's shit again.

seeing as though anything good gets the most hate, i'll just assume the 1070 is going to be good and will pick one up.
peace out, friends.

>the only person in denial here is you
Read the fucking source before you post dumb things.
>>54496516
Yes anon, you are correct
Nah, I'm waiting for affordable cards that use HBM2; also they're being deceptive about Displayport 1.4 support, the cards don't actually support it, they're STILL 1.2 and it just says "1.3/1.4 ready"
I will probably pick up a 1070 at some point, but not any time soon, because CAD is in the shitter
>>54486871
64mb of fuck if I remember.
>>54497982
>affordable cards that use HBM2
keep waiting a couple more years m8
I just wish they'd hurry the fuck up and release everything that has HBM2 already, even though production isn't ready, why can't I time travel dammit
>>54497982
>HBM2
it can't be cheap by it's design.
Vega says "New memory generation" which must mean they came up with something cheaper than HBM but better than GDDR5
I heard reviews will be out 17th of May. Are you ready for the shitstorm?
Daily reminder to filter GTX1080, 1070 threads before reviews hit the press because /g/ would be devastated by disappointed nvidia fanboys.
>b-but 15% is already good as it is!
>b-but i needed VR improvements!
>O- of course its cost m-more than 600, it has non-reference design!
>>54498191
That's navi retard.
guys how much do you think a i7 will cost 5 from now? what about a gtx titan?
>>54496063
who even cares about what the "fastest" card is? it's all about price/performance and how it will affect my electricity bill
>>54498896
5 months? i7 pretty much still the same. Maybe a $10 fall. Titan should fall $100.
>>54492036
Couple of months for design and testing, another month or so for initial production.
Quantities are always limited because custom water is very niche.

Okay!
Gonna wait until people start owning them to see if there isn't another 3.5 shitfest like last time. Otherwise I'm considering building another pc if it's a good outlook for these cards.
>>54499184
It took almost 6 months for someone to discover the 3.5 and .5 difference.
