Discuss cards here
When the new cards come out from Nvidia and AMD and prices drop what card should I get for 1440p? I want over 60fps also wanna spend around $400
GTX 1080
>>54551405
I'm not dropping that much sorry
>>54551491
GTX 1070.
>>54551491
GTX 1069
>>54551676
Holy shit I just looked it up, 1070 is under 400?????
AMD R9 420
I do a lot of encoding and graphics shit on my 2 year old i7 laptop with an 840 nvidia chip. Going to make a pc. I don't want to fall for the i7-5820k meme or nvidia/shit gpus that are currently on the market. Is Zen worth it? Haswell/Ivy-Bridge level performance with 16 logical cores (8 physical)? Is that true? Or is it just 8 physical cores which I reckon the 5820k will best? Even the 6700k heck. And when exactly will motherboards for zen be released? About the same time as the cpu OR WILL IT TAKE A COUPLE OF MONTHS
Does it even support ddr4?
>>54551390
what the fuck is a GTX
THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA
>>54551891
Now the question is... Do I wait for the Asus and MSI versions?
I'm not sure how it works. Will the Asus and Msi versions come out right away?
>>54552123
Anywhere between 1-3 months.
>>54552123
You could take the fun route and wait another year and get even better stuff!
Isn't the GPU market such fun?
>>54551390
My 390x runs Arma 3 multiplayer at 60fps on a 1440p monitor, and it's a horribly optimized game. So from a 390x m8.
I just came to /g/ to see if everyone was freaking out about the 1070. I can finally afford to upgrade my computer above mid-performance. Fuckin' love you, Nvidia.
>>54551756
a better graphics card for desktop use than what you are using
>>54551742
Wait for the 1070/1080, seriously. i7-5820k isn't that bad either, don't listen to /g/
>>54551715
Maybe in like a year
>>54551891

REMINDER THAT ANYTHING ABOVE THE GTX 1050/ R9 470 IS PLACEBO
>>54554613
it's $379 at launch june 10
>>54555202
I'm gonna end up waiting for non-reference only because I'm waiting for broadwell-e anyway
>>54555303
Good luck finding one at that price anon, you're setting yourself up for disappointment
>>54551390
R9 390X, if you already have the power supply. Otherwise a 480-480X. Personally, I'm vouching on the new compression engine AMD is developing to help out with the memory performance that would otherwise be subpar.
VEGA/ti FUCKING WHEN
1080 isn't worth upgrading to from a 390/970 or higher
>>54555336
I have a 390x and it's great, but the 390 is a better deal IMO.
>>54555348
Fuckin bought a 960 2gb 4 months ago.
May wait for 1070ti
Pitcairn peasant here
Polaris 11 is the successor of Bonaire and Polaris 10 is the successor of Tonga. What should I invest in /g/?
>>54555648
The question of what graphics card you should buy boils down to two questions. What resolution do you plan on playing at and do you want 60 or 120/144 Hz performance (on games that can take advantage of that refresh rate)?
Polaris 10 may be overkill for 1080p/60 Hz.
So are partner cards also coming out at the same time, or is May 27th just the 1080 reference and partner cards will roll out over the next month or so?
I'm interested in the 1070, I hope it will not be 7.5 again. Otherwise I skip games until the 1080Ti releases.
>>54551717
Blazing, not because it's fast, because it's AMD
>>54555303
nope its been confirm that only the founders edition of the 1070/80 will be release on the release date in june. You'll have to wait a month or two for the cheaper versions to come out.
Is there any source on the 7.5GB GTX1070?
Can I run a nVidia GPU with a Summit/Raven Ridge CPU letting my PC be the peace marriage between the two companies?
>>54555412
looks like you fell for the
>every nvidia card is better than every amd card
meme
>>54556021
Not yet, there are not even official specs of the 1070 known yet. It should be similar to a 980Ti with OC.
Even though 7.5 would be enough VRAM I won't buy it when it is marketed as 8.
>>54555412
>2GB
HAHAAAHAHAA LOOK AT THIS FAGGOT.
>>54556142
>x.5GB meme again
I mean nVidia set themselves up for that perpetually once they did that retarded sit with the memory controllers on the 970 but damn...
Hopefully they don't duck up and make the same shit this time around and just let it truly be an 8GB card with unfurled memory controllers
>>54556247
you might want to turn down the aggressiveness of that auto-correct buddy

Literally if Pascal and Polaris aren't that amazing. Get a 390 instead. If possible from sapphire.
Any new info on Polaris 11? How fast will it be?
Faster than a 7870?
>7.5GB
Retards, it'll be 7GB this time if the same ratio of SMP blocks are fused off.
Get ready for the 7/8 memes.
>>54551891
I'm still on a 780ti and there are two options for me.
Either the 1070 scores 980ti levels and I get one of those, or it pushes prices down on used 980ti's and I will get one of those.
Glorious gaming times are ahead
>>54556062
He might have a shit PSU. I just had to put a 960 in my gf's computer because of the crappy HP proprietary ~300W PSU that only had a single 6 pin. There aren't any AMD cards that can match the 960 in that scenario.
>>54557795
Polaris 11 is the ultra low power chip that's meant for laptops, so probably r7 450-460 if they even put it in desktops. Polaris 10 is the mid range, and will probably be used in r9 480/480x. AMD isn't releasing their higher end stuff until later on in the year or early next year.
>>54557915
They won't have an answer for the 1070 for the remainder of the year.
Vega won't be the answer either since it will compete with gp 102.
It looks like they have just given up the entire high end segment (except for enthusiast)
alright guys, time to humiliate myself.
1. I need a new laptop
2. I want a gaming rig
3. I can't afford both
4. I don't want an edgelord spaceship laptop in order to play games
Would it be completely retarded to get the Razer Core and slap a 1070/1080 in there?
I know for the price of a razer laptop (already a questionable product) and the Core AND a graphics card that I could get a sweet ass desktop pc. But I seriously need a functional laptop on a day to day basis and having to work with an enormous autist notebook is not my desire at all. Meanwhile the Razer Blade Stealth would not dishonor my family so long as I turn of the faggot strobe keyboard.
Option 2 would be to buy an XPS 13 or something.
Feel free to mock me for even considering a yet-to-be-released peripheral pseudo machine from a tacky company with shoddy design.
>>54557959
You can't put discrete gpu's in laptops, they have specific versions made for laptops but those are often underpowered smaller ones because there simply isn't enough room to adequatly cool the cards.
I think you have these weird boxes now that let you hook up a discrete gpu to your laptop, but you'll have to carry it around
>>54557959
Have you tried in-home streaming? It's been working pretty great for me (though I use wired connection) and it can run on a potato of a laptop
>>54557988
Yeah, I'm referring to one of those weird boxes explicitly. Apparently the Core is some new peripheral that will hold a GPU and can be connected to the appropriate laptop. The laptop is otherwise independently functional and free to be taken away from the weird box.
Keep the box at home for when I want to do intensive shit, but have the laptop with me during the day for other things.
Is that entire set up worth it?
You misspelled your title OP.
It's supposed to be
>Gaymer card shitposting containment thread
Because all that's being posted in this thread are gaymer cards.
"Graphics cards", would be Quadro and FirePro and the likes.
>>54557952
I wouldn't write them out of the enthusiast segment just yet. The 1070 isn't setting the bar very high since aside from the high clockspeeds, it's looking like nothing more than a refined maxwell moved to the smaller 16nm TSMC node. And since AMD is going with the 14nm LPP FinFET that GloFo licensed from Samsung, they should theoretically be able to push the Polaris chips to similar speeds with lower leakage as well. I'm just guessing here, but I think that the top Polaris 10 card (480x) will be within spitting distance of the 1070, while also having async compute to push it ahead in DX12 scenarios.
>>54555412
Heh i just bought a 390 today
>>54557952
this is the exact reason everyone i know including myself will be getting the 1070 come december. we all need the upgrade and amd have nothing to offer to even my amd loyalist friends so they've literally just given up and are going nvidia this time.
>tfw you shill so much you make like 20 amd loyalists give up amd for nvidia
>>54558019
I have no idea how well that core thing works and if there are big negatives about it
Is that setup worth it?
I don't know, I'm not a big fan of gaming on laptops because I like bigger better screens and better sound, but in your case since you are budget constraint and want both things it might be a good option
>>54558052
I've got a bunch of sweet ass monitors. Laptop would be purely for work and commute.
But yeah, such are the pitfalls of discussing a hypothetical product...
Thanks anyway man. I thought this board was all pajeet hating assholes. You have proved me wrong.
>>54558033
I don't write them out of the enthusiast segment, read what I said, I write them out of the high segment.
the 1070 is will most likely offer 980ti performance, at a much lower price point and lower power draw, which is exactly what people who are still stuck on 970 levels are looking for (the most used graphics card on steam).
AMD has nothing to offer like that, and thus they are missing out on the entire high segment this year.
>>54558064
You're welcome, I would look up some reviews of that razor core if you are seriously considering it and then make your decision
>>54558088
The 1070 isn't high segment though. Hell, even the 1080 is a cut down part. Nvidia is releasing what has historically been a mid range chip as a "high end" card and is somehow convincing people that they're getting the good stuff, all the while milking them for early access Sucker's Edition cards. I'm honestly at a loss for words as to how awesome their marketing team is.
>>54555303
$379 is msrp
$449 is how much the reference model will sell for
Nvidia is okay with other companies selling it for $379, but that doesn't mean they will.
Board partners always sell their version for about 20-40 more than the reference, but this time seeing as nvidia themselves will continue selling the reference style for 449 even after board partners release there, chances are they won't be much cheaper than what nvidia will sell theirs for
>>54558124
The 1070 and 1080 are high end, 1080ti and titan ~ are enthusiast, 960 is mid end and 950 are low end.
Anyway it doesn't matter much, 980ti performance at a low price point is a great deal, whether you call it midrange or not. What does AMD have to offer against that? Nothing
How long after the 1080 release will prices drop? Will the AMD release also drop Nvidia prices?
>>54558145
Sorry, I guess I have a different definition of enthusiast than you do. I've always thought that enthusiast meant the upper-mid range, so that's why I said not to write AMD out of that range.
As to AMD not having an answer for the 1070, as I said in a previous post, I'm expecting the fully enabled Polaris 10 card (probably the r9 480x) to compete with the GTX1070. I agree with your assessment that they probably won't have an answer for the GTX1080 until Vega comes out.
>>54555215
>buying evga after they pulled this shit
>>54558179
Probably not until AMD comes out with their Vega based cards. The prices on the 1070s will probably drop relatively quickly though since Polaris 10 is supposed to be released soon.
>>54558188
>I'm expecting the fully enabled Polaris 10 card (probably the r9 480x) to compete with the GTX1070.
Why do you expect that? Leaked die sizes so far suggest its much smaller than the 1070 and AMD also stated they were aiming for entry level VR which is 970/390 performance. the 380x doesn't compete with the 970 either
>>54558240
I meant the older cards like 980ti. Won't those drop immediately?
>>54558255
They're already dropping. Also, people are selling their 9x0 series cards like crazy right now. On my local craigslist, the 980ti is going for less than $400 now.
>>54558242
I'm speculating here, but chances are that Polaris 10 is going to have ~2500 SPs, which is about the same as the Hawaii/Grenada chip (290x/390x). Couple that with the much better 14nm LPP FinFET process, and we're probably going to see ~2Ghz for clockspeeds on air cooling. That puts it squarely in the 1070's vicinity even without any arch improvements.
>>54558196
did they do a recall?
and replacement?
>The GTX 1080 is the "largest GPU endeavor, largest chip endeavor, largest processor endeavor, in the history of humanity," said NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. He added that the R&D budget for the new card was "several billion dollars" over the span of more than two years. "I'm pretty sure you can go to Mars [for that]," he said.
>we could have gone to Mars

>>54558313
>but chances are that Polaris 10 is going to have ~2500 SPs,
Well there lies the crux, that's pure speculation and not really in line with leaks so far.
I hope you're right though, for us consumers competition would be great
>>54558335
Find a way to make going to mars profitable and companies will find a way to do it
>>54558335
>implying neets would be going to Mars
>but because of Jen-Hsun Huang, the greatest man to ever walk this earth, neets everywhere will be able to visit Mars from the comfort of their VR enabled basements everywhere.
>>54558335
ain't no waifus waiting for me on mars, family
>>54558343
That's the thing though. There really haven't been much in the way of reliable leaks. All I've seen are a bunch of rumors being spread by clickbaity articles that don't logically add up. I'm just going by the very little that the AMD investors board calls have let out.
>>54558196
Those are some nice heat tubes lmao. Was it a reused cooler or something from a previous die?
>>54556142
Maybe 980ti at best... Doubt a stock 1070 could beat a OC 980ti.

R9-380 or GTX 960?
I was leaning towards the 960 but reportedly they suffer from coil whine issues.
How are the AMD drivers? Is there anything like shadowplay?
Temps etc don't really matter, I'll get an aftermarket heatsink anyway.
>>54558541
Wait for GTX 1060
>>54558605
It'll be too expensive and it'll take another 4 months until there is a small-PCB version that fits in my case.
>>54558335
I give no fuck about mars.
>>54557915
Polaris 10 will also be in laptops as M490 and M490X chips.
I'm fairly certain the bigger Polaris chip (R9 490X) will be about as powerful as the 1070, +-10%.
>>54558484
Until what?
>>54558628
>I'm fairly certain the bigger Polaris chip (R9 490X) will be about as powerful as the 1070, +-10%.
Fairly certain? Really?
That's quite surprising considering not much has been leaked about the actual chip so far
>>54558688
nda lifts and we actually see what the 1070 has to offer
until then everyone is shilling
Should I sell my R9-290 to bitcoin miners for a good price and get a GTX1070 after a few weeks?
>>54558765
You mean the 1080, 1070's are not at reviewers yet
manufacturers what to do with obsolete factory graphics card ? I would have bought the old card like 7790
I got 30 days to return my 980ti, so I suppose I could replace it with the 1080 when it launches, then hope the third party variants arrive within another 30 days
>>54558732
Yes, I'm fairly certain. AMD have the same node shrink as Nvidia, the 290 and 390 cards are between 970 and 980 in performance, and AMD have a new architecture with several big improvements, or so they say.
For me this all adds up to the 490X offering similar performance to the 1070.
We'll have to wait another three months to draw real conclusions anyway. It'll take that long for the new cards to become widely available and all the issues 'professional reviewers' like to overlook to become public knowledge.
>>54558628
If it's in laptops as M490 series, it won't be 490 series in the desktop iteration. Laptop part numbers are always a tier higher than their equivalent desktop counterparts.
>>54558776
Considering the fact that gpu bitcoin mining has been dead for years, I doubt any of them are going to want your 290.
>>54558805
3 months to review cards that are going to be out in June? Put down whatever it is that you're smoking.
>>54558838
What is Ethereum?
>>54558863
Dunno but it sure as hell isn't bitcoin.
I really hope to see a board-partner version that's under 2 expansion slots in width. I hate these 2.2 width cards. Just kill off DVI on GPUs, and have 2x DP 1.4 and 1x HDMI 2.0. Motherboards have ports for trouble-shooting, and if you're using a GPU then you (hopefully) aren't using DVI or VGA.
Is it true that board partners will be selling the 1070 at 450 dollars?
>>54558885
I want to agree, but DVI is still the most widely used connector. By a huge margin.
>>54558897
Expect to pay even more than that at release. It's not being called Sucker's Edition for nothing.
>>54558857
Nvidia's launch is a paper launch. It'll take several months for their gpus to be widely available.
>>54558905
http://www.ebay.com/bhp/dvi-to-hdmi-adapter
vendor should just chuck an adapter in the box
Everyone should buy a Pascal GPUs, it's more future proof with DisplayPort 1.4 & HDMI 2.0b support
Don't forget than GTX 980 Ti & GTX 980/970 doesn't have fixed function HEVC Main10 & VP9 hardware decoding while Pascal GPUs does
>>54558897
i thought the msrp was 380, not 450?
>>54558897
no it'll be closer to 379 than 450
>>54558943
Not quite. JHH already said that the Sucker's Edition will be available immediately upon release.
>>54558988
Not just that, Nvidia has been dropping driver support for their older cards pretty quickly in the last couple of generations.
>>54558541
If your PSU can handle it, and you don't mind the slightly higher power usage, the 380(x) is the better card. But if you have a shitty OEM PSU or live somewhere with sky high electricity rates, get the 960. Or, if it were me, I'd hold out for a month or so for Polaris to come out. There should be one being released around that price range that will outperform both of those cards while also using less electricity.
>>54555855
>cheaper
You fell for the bait. Nvidia just laid out that price to generated hype, and the board partners will take the blame if it isn't. Which it won't be. Conpany's know people want the non reference more anyways. Call me a pessimist, but you won't be seeing a 1070 under $400 for a year.
>>54551390
R9 390(x), Gtx 980, used 980ti, or used fury(x)
Now gtfo
>>54559217
He can overclock a 380 and get 380x level performance. I don't like the current lineup of amd cards because they draw too much power and I don't like the nvidia cards because they're too expensive for what they are even though they are better hardware-wise than their amd competitors. Also gimping.
How much VRAM does 1070 have? Not something.5 right?
>>54559514
7.5 but that's enough
>>54551390
Current gen doesn't hold 60 fps with aa at 1440p.
>>54557959
Laptop and external gpu setup seem like they'll be cool to have in the future, but right now it's just way too expensive. You can just get a laptop for 500 dollars which I think is the price of one of those boxes you put the GPU in right now, and the razer core and XPS 13 are a like a thousand dollars which you can easily get a way better desktop with for even less.
Poorfag here, what kind of performance can I expect out of an i3 6100 and R7 370 at 1080p?
>>54559514
it's impossible to have .5
theyre using 8 1gb gddr5 chips and not 16 512mb chips

Polaris 10 already has a benchmark out that shows it to be the same as the 390x, just with less memory bandwidth.
On the upside it uses 130W and costs $250.

>250 and 130W
No proof. Stop with the fucking rumors. JUST STOP IT
>>54559909
Why did you capitalize the R lad it's annoying me
>>54559909
The strategy is to get performance down to an acceptable level, penetrating a huge market. 970 has had about 7million installs, that's not really much. If you get 970 performance down to 250, everybody and their grandmother would buy it. With the manufacturing advantage on AMD it's certainly possible. We'll see. Besides, polaris is apparently largely targeting laptops (bigger than the pc market).
>>54559887
I read it was around 7.6xxGB i.e. 8GiB. Not 7. Are you implying 7 is a multiple of 2?

>>54551390
I'm currently on GTX 680. So I'm considering the 1080 or AMD next line of cards.
But I don't care about 1440p gaming. I only have 1080p Monitor but it's 120hz. So can the 1080 run 1440p@60fps? If so would this card be a good card for 1080p 120fps?
Without the need to upgrade within the next two years?
GTX 680 can barely maintain 60 fps let alone 120 and thats on medium to low setting on games released in the past couple of years.
Also, I have i7 2600k @ 4,5 ghz. (So I know this one doesn't need an upgrade yet.)
>>54559604
So it's 7GB I guess
>>54559967

Pretty sure they won't take out 1.16Gb of VRAM. 0.5 at most, probably none. 3.5x2 is a stupid way of going about it anon.
>>54560089
I'm pretty sure it will just be 8GB, it will be the first thing people check when they review the card and Nvidia won't make the same mistake again
>>54560096
As if nvidia cares. But I agree.
>>54560105
Unlikely that they care yeah, and it wouldn't even be an issue, 7GB would be more than enough, even the 980ti doesn't have that
>>54558897

No. 1080 has gddr5x (which is also a last-ditch attempt to compete with the upcoming vega that will surely blow it the fuck out). Just marketing, it has a shit bus not even remotely close to bandwidth provided by an hbm2/4096bit bus -- a key factor for gaming performance.
How to cool my MSI R9 290? I elevated it, removed dust, and added two case fans and at 100% load, it gets up to 95C in which games start stuttering due to overheating. It's alright now that it's got the fans so it barely pushes 95C but is there anyway I can bring that down even moreso?
>>54555303
Lol no, it's $450 for the launch reference card, $379 is the MSRP so you will not see them for that price for a long time
>>54558335
Mars is a ball of dust and rock
>>54559604
Tell that to the gtx 970 meme card
>>54561258
I used to have the same problem with a hd 6850. The fix was to reapply thermal paste, before this happened I used to believe thermal paste didnt do much but it took me from 95c on full load to about 75c. Be careful to not apply too much it must be a thin yet well spread layer
>>54561429
are you really this stupid?
>>54561258
You probably have a shitty setup where cpu air is blowing on the gpu or the gpu isn't getting cool air from the front exhaust or something to that effect. Alternatively you can reapply thermal paste if it's really old/overused (e.g. if you got it used (probably bitcoin mining)) or the hot air isn't being dissipated properly (i.e. insufficient rear exhaust)
Personally I've always been loyal to ATI/AMD but last year when I upgraded my PC with components from this decade I noticed why AMD is getting so far behind NVidia.
Nvidia has Shadowplay while AMD has some retarded shit called AMD GVR that requires you to have Raptr installed and running at the same time as Steam and causes bluescreens and noticeably slows down your framerate and it's a pain in the ass to look up for an alternative to it.
Meanwhile with Nvidia you barely notice Shadowplay is there and everything works as it should because it's built in the driver.
With all these Let's Players and Twitch streamers buying graphic cards to share their gameplays I believe AMD should have known better and pour more money on developing a competent Shadowplay ripoff.
>>54561258
Adjust your fan speed on the cooler to 100%, also re-apply thermal paste. Remove that heatsink and clean it thoroughly, then clean the die and put on some as5

>>54561488
Guess I'll try reapplying thermal paste. Had this card for two years now. Best method for applying the thermal paste? Pic related is my PC except I put two outtake fans on top. The front fans are intake.
>>54557169
Ok, I also get 1440p 60fps on The Witcher 3 on Ultra... It's a great card and will be even cheaper soon, probably the best budget card available (or 390), shame about the power consumption / heat. I'll be upgrading to 1080 soon so I can play in 4K as its not powerful enough for that.
tfw got a second 780 for $200 dollarydoos
real gaym benchmark leaks when
1060 when
>>54556021
You can. My rig is running an AMD APU with NVIDYA gpu and SSD with intel memory (crucial)
>>54562070
Literally not worth it when that money could have gone towards a 1070 or 1080, especially if you sold your current 780 to some stupid teenager
>>54561910
put no more than a pea-sized globule in the centre of the CPU, then place the cooler back ontop, doing so will apply an even spread as it flattens out the globule of paste.
dont do that butter knife bullshit where you spread it yourself, ever
I am looking to upgrade.
Im have an sli 670 set up.
Should i go sli 1070 , single 1080 or sli 1080.
Building a new conputer, planing on about $4500 with ips 4k monitor.

You want to fly to the moon with that thing or play games?
>>54561838
This Experience program is pure shit, but Shadowplay is nice in theory. Unfortunately it can't record 4K on my 780Ti.
>>54562507
Depends on your needs. For 4K you would need 2 1080s, but I would wait. Get a single 1070 and buy 2 1080Tis when they come out. Your system reads fine so don't forget you'll need to buy waterblocks which would be a waste for the 1070s.
>>54562070
Why? I would get a 2nd one if they had 6 GB, but with 3 I always run into the VRAM limit.
>>54562548
1000W is perfect for SLI and Haswell-E. 128 GB is a bit much but why not, he seems to have the money. I would buy 2 1080Ti Classified if I was him.
>>54552187
That's tech for ya.
At least most hardware moves forward, where in other sectors you're getting the same products for lesser quality over time.
>>54562578
Kepler GPUs can only record 1080P
Maxwell 2 GPUs can record 1440P and 4K
>>54562603
No 2K. I know that I had a Titan X. I have another one lying around but I'm going to sell it. Gathering money for my 2 1080Tis. I think one would be nice, but 2 will be necessary to max out Mass Effect with MSAA.
>>54562548
>>54562548
I want the 128gigs for actual work. I do data analysis , i currently have a p9x78 with 64gigs and i and max that out running massive sets on R and excel
4k to ditch my dual 24" set up
Game wise, bf1 and flight sims. I want to grab an oculus too.
My last desktop computer has lasted me 5 years.
>>54558196
>GTX 970
Seems like from the very beginning the card was supposed to be a meme from the 3.5GB and not being centered on the heat pipes.
>>54562833
Get a xnon, not the i7
>>54556021
>>54556142
>>54556247
The 970 wasn't even the first card with slower segmented RAM. The 660 ti, for example, had the same design.
>>54563502
Fug really. Got a 660TI right now. Non-reference 1080 can't come fast enough.
>>54562833
Why not build a secondary dual-Sandybridge Xeon ECC build?
>>54558037
>>54558037
>we all need the upgrade
I really fucking doubt it
the 980ti pushes like a 30% increase over a 970 and that's all the 1070 is going to offer
if you want to upgrade buy a 980ti on ebay for $400 now or get a 1080 with good cooling for $650-700 preordered
Can someone tell me what "gimping" is?
>>54564832
AMD fanboi meme
I just bought a 970 off ebay for 350 (I live in Canada). I only have a 720p TV as a monitor, I feel like I've gone too far.
>>54564880
Get a cheap 1080p monitor senpai
>>54562620
>2 are necessary
enjoy spending $1200 on graphics card which will be obsolete in 3 years after newer games and new gpus get released. That's the technology market in a nutshell, JUST UPGRADE GOYIM.
>>54564832
It's when 780ti that used to be on par with if not better than 290x now struggles to match 280x in new games.
>>54565163
Worth it, for Mass Effect. Otherwise I won't upgrade. And no I'm going to skip X80 models and only buy Tis.
Ansel screen capture confirmed for all gtx600+ cards.
>>54558335
reminder
So it's pretty much literally confirmed that the 1070 will be The One To Buy™ in June?
I really need a new GPU.
>>54564451
>the 980ti pushes like a 30% increase over a 970
Lol what? A 980ti is around 50-70% faster than a 970
>>54565178
Can this fucking meme stop?
>>54565178
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvCsT_dk-1E
>le cripple keppler meme
no
>>54565292
Its not a meme when there is evidence to back the claim up.
>>54565320
1 cherry picked game isn't evidence idiot, heres another new game
>>54565380
to be fair that doesn't exactly help your point; sure its much better than any midrange nvidia but its significantly behind the 970/390x its supposed to still be competing with
>>54565380
So you're telling me AMD has managed to make a 7970 go from a 680 competitor to a 780 competitor when - as /g/ very clearly states - AMD has no drivers?
If AMD has no drivers then it must be a gimping by Nvidia.
>>54565407
Doom is also running opengl 4.3 on AMD cards for whatever reason and 4.5 on Nvidia. Especially odd given current AMD hardware supports 4.5.
>>54565407
>moving the goalpost
You said a 780ti has problems keeping up with a 280x in new games.
That benchmark shows you're full of shit and that the card still shits over 390 the card that should be able to compete with it.
My point being, you can cherrypick any benchmark, I can do it to
>>54565446
yeah, thats fucked
I haven't decided whether or not im going to buy an nvidia card this summer, but Im not buying Doom until the Vulkan update either way
>>54565458
>you
I never said shit
HE said that and in more than a couple cases regarding 2016 releases its true
what is true universally though is that the card essentially isn't getting updated anymore for new games
NDA lifts 17th
What's even the point to keep NDA after paper launch for a week?
>>54565523
To give the shekel machine time to build hype.
>>54565523
Scamming people who want to preorder it.
>>54565570
they still can cancel it
I'd love to meet someone who preorders viderocards, or buys without looking at competition first.
>>54565719
So, Jayztwocents?
>>54565795
it's his job though.
>>54565831
He made it his job because he is a rabid fanboy. Let us not forget he is a retard who destroyed a brand new mobo by drilling through it, completely fucked up a 290x review so badly the only reason he redid it is because sapphire didn't ask for the card back, fucked up his custom loop more than once despite being a self proclaimed expert and a whole host of other stupid shit.
>>54565494
>what is true universally though is that the card essentially isn't getting updated anymore for new games
When looking at the doom benchmark it seems that the 390 series isn't getting updated, stop meming
>>54565888
is there at least one not biased site/youtube channel?
>>54566002
No.
>>54558621
Wait for polaris.
>>54555763
....troll. Literally confirmed 7.5.
>>54566127
Where? Proof please. We don't even know shaders and clocks of the 1070.
>>54566143
http://videocardz.com/59897/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-gpu-z-specifications-leaked
>>54566328
that's not proof of anything
>>54565431
>has 290/290x
>then includes 380X and below
why the benchmarkers do this shit
>>54564880
i paid the same price for a 970, and they are around 270 now, i'll cry myself to sleep. i bought it a week before it dropped
>>54561910
Do it like the pros do it.
