Will /g/ be buying a GTX 1080?
>>54652698
Yes, but won't overpay for the reference card. Especially since it just had one 8 pin.
Will see what other acx options evga releases. They should oc better and be much cheaper.
Green lights are overrated anyway.
>>54652698
Last two generations I went with Ti so I will probably wait for 1080Ti again.
780Ti-980Ti-1080Ti
>>54652698
yeah probably
I already have a 980 but I also use 144hz monitor so the more overhead I can get on frames the better.

Its also a house fire and isnt any cooler despite being on 16nm all they did was overclock maxwell and call it a day.
Lazy fucking card
That said it shits over anything AMD has made since 2013 so idk i guess in the end we all lose
No. 800€ card that will be cucked by the Ti that will be released later.
Can I run crysis 3 on a triple full HD (surround gaming) with one GTX 1080 and be able to reach 60fps on very high settings?
I wanna know if I'm able to run the most demanding games on this setup.
Knowing ofcourse that the rest of my setup will not be the bottleneck to the 1080's performance.
>>54652946
>>54652897
i wish i could put up with the ti having 6gb and the 980 having 4gb but i just cant
Think om Going to buy one, have an amd7970
>>54652943
Its AMD fault for sleeping and not making any competition.
Nvidia stormed market with faulty 970 and won the day before AMD woke up and released R9 390 just too late.
Same shit will happend now, market will be stormed by 1070 or even 1080 since its overhyped right now and AMD will suck dicks again for releasing competitor half year-year later.
>>54652698
Fuck no. The price is £620+ in the UK, a 50% increase over the 980. Anybody who supports this kind of price gouging deserves the PC market we'll have in a few years when everything costs twice as much as manufacturers squeeze gaymers harder to make up for falling overall sales.
>>54653013
>blaming AMD
You are literally retarded and have been well brainwashed by Nvidia's marketing department.
If it was max 550€ (like the 980 now) and not 800€. Oh wait, that's what the 1070 will cost.
>>54653037
>You are literally retarded and have been well brainwashed by Nvidia's marketing department.
>What is the 390x
>What is the Fury X
Common man why the fuck would you go from GDDR5 to HMB1 other than bragging rights? 4GB < 8GB
>>54652943
Reference is 100 more than msrp. When evga and others release with their coolers they'll prolly be 620-680.
>>>54653013

I really doubt it.
MAYBE prices will settle to that as supply gets better but i doubt it.
A shame AMD didnt just drop HMB meme from Fury because it really was useless.
should have just gone GDDR5X or 6 and drop HMB2 next year
>>54653067
AMD have no drivers honestly the 390 i tried the beta's where unusable and the last full release was back in march this year
Absolutely unforgivable when so many new games are coming out
>>54653067
No competition - monopoly - bloated prices and no inovation
Purpose of Nvidia (and AMD) is to earn money just like every other company in world and if they can do it at no cost then they will.
>>54653065
Do you honestly, actually, believe that? Do you honestly think that aftermarket 1080s will be under the price of the reference one, despite the recommended price? Because they won't. Those brands won't pass up the chance to make extra cash, because there's no cheaper alternative, and the supply is low and is going to run out anyway.
You're delusional.
>>54652698
After NVIDIA's string of fuck-ups?
No.
>>54653100
Nah man, founders is the most expensive 1080...at least until evga makes a kingpin version or something.
It'll be a week or two until each manufacturer releases the ones with their cooler. Early buyers are forced into overpaying for reference.
>>54653037
>>54653067
Are you two retards for real? Leave your basement and face the reality already instead of blaming one company for everything.

>>54653147
So realistically if a aftermarket cooler version is available for $700 ill get it
Had the AMD meme they literally have no drivers for new games doom and every other game this year has been a disaster.
>>54653117
Yes, that IS the entire point of rebranding reference as founders. They """""justify""""" price difference by using metals on reference cooler which make it more expensive to produce.
The strix, acx, etc versions are absolutely going to be cheaper. Price will, as always, depend on how much factory oc you buy.
Nah. There's nothing my two $140 290's can't run at 1440p yet.
>>54653100
>AMD have no drivers honestly the 390 i tried the beta's where unusable and the last full release was back in march this year
And yet, even with no drivers and the overhead problem in DX11, they still compete head to head with Nvidia's alternatives in every tier.
Think about that for a second now.
>>54652698
nvidia's last breath before they go under for a while. at least until they can figure out asynch computing. gunna be sorry owning nvidia with dx12 quickly becoming the standard.
>>54652988
6GB is and will be enough by the time they release 1080Ti
>>54652698
No. I like my 660 still.
>>54652698
i probly get 12 670
>>54653176
I would expect the lowest evga acx card to sell for 619-639 with additional factory oc tiers like sc, ssc and so on increasing price by 10-20 bucks each or so. Ftw prolly around 670-680.
I will buy the card that costs around $300 canadian after taxes. That better be the price for one of the new cards REE
>>54653190
Except supply of 1080 and 1070 chips is going to be low as fuck, due to the process being new and the chips being so big, low yields, etc.
Add to that, the fact that the cheapest one on the market (Reference) is already more expensive than the recommended price, and you have the perfect excuse for manufacturers to release them at more expensive prices. Because guess what, people will pay up. And they will still be sold out.
Welcome to Capitalism 101. You're not going to price your product lower, because you will run out of stock even at higher prices. If supply is low, and interest is high, you increase the price, not lower it. You're a gullible retard for believing otherwise.
No ill get the amd card.
>>54653195
i love the performance of the 290 but its literally a fucking housefire.
my cpu temps jumped from 20-40 idle to fucking 50-60 degrees+ just by having the gpu sit idle next to my noctura
plus they have a habit of dying on me.
>>54653214
Fuck sake their still $600aud+ for a 980 even
Godamnit why are videocards so overpriced and shitty?
I swear we've been stuck at 4gb 6gb and 8gb for fucking 3 years when can we get better cards with actual new shit in them?
>muh 1080
Wow Shit 4k performance shit 1440p performance per $ and slower/the same as a 980ti and titan that cost around about the same where i am

Is EVGA the best for nvidia?

"Head to head" sure you can call problems with every new release like that. Thank god that we have Nvidia sabotage and Nvidia gimping memes to do damage control for AMD incompetence
>>54653257
>No ill get the amd card.
>>54652698
No I'll just buy 3 more 970s and run them in SLI
>>54653254
I would expect 3rd party sellers on Amazon and shit to buy a bunch and resell at crazy prices. Directly from manufacturer you will get legit pricing...or directly from Amazon or newegg or whoever.
>>54653280
i can see where he's coming from i made that mistake twice now and with the 390 approaching the 980 price its hard to justify putting up with no drivers and shit temps for $100 less
in the long run it wasnt worth it for me i am going back to nvidia
I just need something to last until Vega and Whatever the 1080ti is and im happy but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO its all overpriced shit
>>54653302
Did you just ignore half my post on purpose, or are you still in denial?

This. Never buy the non-Ti version.
Nice damage control from AMD shills, other companies should learn.
>>54652698
/g/ loves getting cucked, so probably yes
>>54653289
you're right, this what i'll do. i'll buy another 970 with an new psu and all will be fine.
>>54653270
Evga has the best warranty and customer service. Considering enthusiasts like to push cards hard, evga is a trusted manufacturer.
They don't make the best cards every generation tho.

>>54652960
The card didn't even come out yet. Calm down matey.
>>54653317
I'm ignoring it because it's not based on any facts whatsoever.
Nvidia doesn't raise and drop prices depending on market like amd does. They've literally never had to.
Dat 1 pricing is going to be the actual pricing. It ALWAYS is on nvidia launches. And they always sell out. But like I said, third party sellers will absolutely do it.
>>54653341
Witcher 3? Nope
Project Cars? Nope
Batman? Yep but it was made by company who only did mobile games before
Fallout 4? Yep but its made by company who makes players to repair all of their games.

Are there any concrete rumours on the 1080ti? Or is it likely a long way away?

Just gotta wait for the refund on my broken 390
>>54653422
Probably comes with HBM2 so release date can be expected somewhere in late 2017.
>>54653013
Nvidia can't storm the market because they don't actually have any GPUs to sell. It'll take months before the 1070 and 1080 become widely available.
By then everybody will have a Polaris card and Nvidia will become bankrupt and commit sudoku.
>>54653454
ya probably because you didnt mention you were in aus.

same thing happened when i got their flagship gpu's

>>54653495
>Please tell me how Witcher 3 had gimped performance.
not him but pretty sure it got gimped by a driver update, it was fixed after.
that said in the 2 years i had my 770 its performance got better if anything.
>>54652960
I'd say around 45-50+ fps.
At least until or even if they update their game for the new line of cards.
>>54653495
it runs like shit even with hairworks turned off. Nvidia always overdoes the tessellation. Amd's optimized tessellation settings can only do so much. nvidia partnered releases always run like shit for both cards but it hits amd by not letting them look at the code so they can optimize properly. they also keep getting caught red handed purposely gimping performance through ludicrous amounts of tessellation to the point of people accusing them of doing it on purpose because there definitely isnt another logical reason for it.
>>54652698
No because I'm already pushing 60fps at 1080p on the games I play. I don't think I'm due for a upgrade until 2017. The 1080 is not a leap in technology. It's just overclocked.

I'll probably get the 1070. I'm in dire need of an upgrade, literally anything, the "just wait" meme has gone on far too long for me. I've been using a fucking 6850 for the past 5 years, and I'm so desperate for something better, I'm using a 7870 that has melted plastic and has lit on fire once.

>>54655394
You should ask the amdcuck next door.
No, it is a garbage card that's only 5% better than OC'd 980ti and doesn't have hardware async
No.
Sure! I mean, look at the benchmark, whats not to like?
I haven't researched nor bought anything GPU related since the Radeon R9 start.
So, I'm wondering, what's a good triple monitor set up? 1920x1080 x3, nothing fancy.
No, my 390x is doing everything I need it to so I have no reason to upgrade.
Even if I was going to I'd wait until aftermarket cards were out since reference coolers always suck in comparison.
>>54652933
So fucking stupid
>>54655389
>I have no argument against this
>>54655526
>what's a good triple monitor set up?
Do people still do this in 2016? Always thought these looked like shit. Bezels out the ass.
A nice, large 1440p 144/120 Hz and a nice vertical 1080 144/120 Hz panel would be the ideal setup in my mind. Much more useful.
>>54655673
I have vertical 1080 and it sucks. Vertical 1200 is needed
>>54655494
nice bait
>>54655673
It's for sim racing, I don't care much about res, I just want a good displayed wide area so that it can show more.
That said, I might go with a "VR thingy" instead (although triple screens would be nice for productivity outside of gaming).
>>54655136
I can't watch this guy's videos cuz of that accent, but the Founders Edition is definitely a meme card. With all the headroom the 1080 (supposedly has), why would you get a card that only has one little 8 pin?
I'm waiting for the aftermarket cards that will be the real OCers.

Excuse me?

>>54652698
I'll be waiting a few months to see what options are put out.
Probably going to be waiting for a TI version though.
>>54652698
No, maybe a 1070 if its not gimped and overpriced, otherwise I'm looking for a 980Ti in the below-350 € section. They have already dropped on 420 €, sometimes you can get lucky.
>>54656177
There was a guy who sold his 980Ti for 410$.
Waiting for the TI is the best option.
I'm running a used 980TI and I've been quite happy with it. Improved 4k will be a big selling point of the 1080. I can't wait to run Witcher 3 at 4k with 60+fps.
Plus it'll take a time tor the production process to iron out all the bugs in the line.
>>54653461
>Nvidia can't storm the market because they don't actually have any GPUs to sell. It'll take months before the 1070 and 1080 become widely available.
Exactly. This is the same shit as the Fermi launch, which was announced in March and became available in April/May - and also had thermal issues.
Polaris might not compete in performance, but it's as fast as a 390 but uses only 130W and will cost 2-300$.
>>54656205
Yes and some sell even lower, but only until the 1080s come. The prices will rise again after the launch.
>>54656245
>Plus it'll take a time tor the production process to iron out all the bugs in the line.
This is my one main worry. I remember the early 5xx cards had some serious heat issues that were never truly fixed until later cards in the generation.
>>54656250
meanwhile the 1080 uses 20w more and crushes the fury x
lol
apart from the reference cooler being shit, there is nothing wrong with the 1080. non FE cards will be fine.
>>54652698
Honestly I'm in a position where I have more than enough money to blow on a card like that but I still feel like the card is too expensive.
700 euro for a card that will get destroyed when the big pascal chip with HBM arrives.
I might pick up a 1070 if it pars with the 980ti, or just go for a used 980ti.
My 780ti doesn't cut it anymore in some games at 1440p
>>54656318
>>54656205
>falling for nvidia marketing meme
I'm glad people like that exist.
>>54656492
The 1080 could have 30 % improvement over the GM200 like 980vs780Ti, but that does not justify the price. In my resolution this would mean 3 more FPS.
>Dx12 will s-save the day!
>Pascal can't i-into async compute!
>w-wait for v-vega!
Oh wait but I see we have a new meme now, with all other memes destroyed by the 1080 AMD fags are now putting their hopes on 1070's and 1080's not 'being available in large enough numbers'.
Isn't it fucking pathetic that instead of having two camps that fight over cards that compete with each other we basically have only party that offers real high end cards while people from the other party just spout unfunded retarded bullshit?

Who fucking cares, it's 27% faster than the fury x in the most heavily favored AMD game.

>>54652698
What the Fuck is going on at AMD how is there no information leaks yet?
No. I've got a FreeSync monitor and Nvidia is too corrupt to implement an open standard.
>>54656621
Nothing worth showing.
>>54654944
Same here, but 7850 (1 Gb lol). On 3440*1440 run all games at medium-low.
Want to play new games, like witcher 3 and gta 5, but don't want to do it on low settings.

Dunno how the fuck they justify that $700 price tag.
>>54656648
Why did you even buy such monitor?
>>54656614
You literally just posted a benchmark where the fury gets shat on and you call it BTFO?
Here I'll show you a real case of BTFO
The 1080 fucking destroys the fury x by being 72% faster.
72% fucking percent for a card that only costs 100$ more!
>hurrr rise of tombraider does not count
I could say the same for ashes of the singularity but I won't since even there the 1080 shits on the fury x.
Face it faggot the fury x is an obsolete piece of shit that will need to drop to 400$ before people should even consider it again
Nope, team Red. The GTX 1080 is a very impressive card though, and it's tempting, but my current build is already futureproofed.. I don't see a need for the newest, greatest graphics card when my hardware can already handle any game you throw at it.
If I didn't already have a mid to high-tier build, I'd be scrambling to buy this card. It does have an awfully high price point, however..
>>54656623
freesync isnt an open standard

>>54656720
>>54656748
It is an open standard. Nvidiots in denial as always
>>54655930
why? the charts he posted are legit.
1080 barely outperforms the 980ti OC
>>54656777
Why are you not comparing it to an oc'd 1080?
>>54656530
yeah no shit its going to beat furyX lol, its brand new tech. its 30% faster which clearly shows in that chart.
also its still not Async lol
>>54656792
Nononono
You can't downplay this
It beats the fury x, yes that is to be expected.
But take a better look at that graph.
This game favors amd cards so heavily that a 390x pretty much matches a 980ti in that game.
And EVEN in this game, the 1080 beats the fury x by a landslide
>>54656679
Senpai?
Any reason for the Fury X to drop in price soon? I want to buy one or a Nano.
>>54656814
>the game favors AMD
Wrong. The game is just written with parallel processing in mind, something nvidia can't do well
>>54656676
Why not? I like all the extra space.
I could buy a cheap korean 27" with a decent graphics card, but I had a 7850 from the old pc, and decided to "just wait" for the new cards.

I will accept AMD is second to Nvidia when you say Pascal is Maxwell-OC, deal?
>>54656977
So go fucking buy something
Even a 2nd hand 970 which you can pick up dirt cheap now will be a huge upgrade over what you have
>>54656992
>I will accept AMD is second to Nvidia when you say Pascal is Maxwell-OC, deal?
Pascal is Maxwell on a smaller node with better memory compression yes
>>54656997
250$ is dirt cheap?
>>54652698
No, I'm not a gayman, so I have no need for it. I bought a 750 only a few months back just to support three monitors.
This is just embarrassing.
>>54656997
I'll probably end up buying something to go along with the 5820k I plan on getting soon, I'm tired of waiting

If you don't play games that use more than 4 GB, then 8 GB VRAM is useless. On the other hand, HBM1 has 512 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to GDDR5x which has 320 GB/s on nVidia's 256-bit implementation.
>>54657054
Where?
>+6 FPS over OC 980Ti
T-totaly worth 700$ price tag!
>>54657134
It's not very impressive, then again 980ti's are still expensive as fuck too
Even worse in 4K.
>>54657141
You can buy new 980Ti for around 540 on newegg. Even much cheaper second hand.

Guess I'll be getting a used 980ti afterall
Question for all these benchmarks, that's with a Foundry card, correct? Isn't that card known to not OC well due to only having one 8 pin?
I'll reserve judgement on the card until we see how the real 1080s perform. With the headroom they're claiming, there should be some insane factory OCs they ship out. But no way to tell since Nvidia is forcing manufacturers to keep quiet and shill the Foundry meme only.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
>>54657501
That is correct. Nobody really knows anything about the manufacturer made cards, just the foundry which looks to not be worth the 100 above msrp.
Well unless you just want a pretty card, since it's apparently very well made with sexy materials.
>>54652698
No. Buying a 490.
Get mad fanboys.
>>54652698
I'm waiting for the GP100. I'll use my Titan x as a physX processor. :^)
>>54657581
>already decided you will buy a certain cards when it hasn't even been benchmarked yet
Spotted the fanboy
>>54655416
to see if his son wants a 1070?
>>54652698
It's shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myDYnofz_JE
>>54656840
Of course it'll drop in price, I'm thinking about a nano as well, but I'll probably end up going with polaris 10
>>54657641
No, I work distribution for nvidia and get discounts. My current gpu's are 2 980's in sli.
Rustillmad?
Nah 760 owner and going amd. I've had enough of nvidia's gameworks and other lies. Gonna wait for vega
>>54657713
>someone with two 980ti's in sli is going to buy a 490x
Sounds legit
>>54657642
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
PREMIUM COMPONENTS
>still is step up window for 980 Ti from EVGA
What do I do? It's really hard to tell what's a /g/ meme and what's Nvidia shilling.
>>54655947
yes, the reference stock 1080 is barely beating an aftermarket overclocked higher tier 980Ti. So?
>>54657838
It isn't, watch this video
>>54657409
If you own a 980ti or a titan you're a fucking retard if you get the 1080
>1 8 pin connector
>£619.99
even the 1070 is expensive for what it is.
founder editions can suck my piss stained pants desu
>>54657897
Interesting. I have a pretty high tier 980 Ti too (EVGA Classified, was the same price as the stock 980 Ti at the time I purchased it for some reason). I guess I'll have to wait to see how the EVGA after market cards do. I have about a 60 day window, so there's still a chunk of time for it to settle I guess.
I'm buying the EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid.
>>54657929
>you're a fucking retard if you get the Founders Edition 1080
ftfy
wait for the real 1080s. Founders is merely a meme.
>>54657735
2 faggot
Yes, either the Zotac AMP or the EVGA Classified, whenever they're released.
This might be a dumb question, but why are GPUs always chasing the carrot in regards to maxing out the most demanding games at the current "high" resolution? Are GPU manufacturers just lagging behind game developers, or is it that these games are horribly optimized?
>>54658186
Still a fanboy pussy, wait until they are benchmarked you cunt
>>54658228
Classifieds are usually about 3 months after launch.
>>54658234
A:Games get more demanding as time progresses
Load up a 5 year old game, I loaded up doom 3 a few weeks ago, remembering it was one of the best looking games I had ever seen when it just released and I was surprised at just how fucking ugly it looked compared to todays graphics, I had to check my settings 3 times because I couldn't believe everything was actualy maxxed out.
B: game developers develop games with hardware that is available at that time in mind.
>>54658234
Also just to correct you on that, high end gpu's have no problem with high settings, they have problems with ultra settings and other performance hogging stuff like AA on max
When are the non founder's cards coming out?
>>54658284
Nobody knows. Nvidia isn't allowing manufacturers to say anything yet.
On the EVGA forums one of the employees said they'd announce it as soon as they can.
At this point nobody even knows if they're launching on the 27th too, or if it'll be a week or two later.
The more important question is this though: By how much will the other graphics cards price drop by?
Tfw spent the money on compendium
I will be buying a 1070 hopefully
>>54658302
That means they will probably launch with the 1070.
>>54657064
i play alot of vram heavy games.
ever since 2013 at least 4gb wasnt enough even at 1080p
>>54658359
LOL
fucking nvidiots and their paper launches
>HAY GUYS U CAN TOTALLY GET THIS CARD MAY 27TH
>one month later
>HAY GUYS THE AFTERMARKET CARDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY NOT FOUNDERS EDITION SHIT IS FINALLY OUT D-DONT BUY A 1070 PLZ PLZ
Lol nvidia is gonna get rekt anyone with half a brain is gonna just wait and buy a 1070 overclocked to the moon
>>54653067
>implying he isn't Nvidia's marjeting department
>>54658491
See you get it. Always try to up sell!
>gtx 1080 founder's
Later
>1080 non founder's and 1070 founder's
Later
>1070 non founder's
>>54658304
a percentage equal to the gimping they'll receive by August.
>>54652698
>nvidia
its like you like to be a cuck
>>54658560
>See you get it. Always try to up sell!
ive done retail so i know how that shit works.
NVIDIA is a business they have never done anything to actually advance graphics since 2008.
AMD have always been more transparent and open and still have technically superior hardware.
Their drivers are still a massive meme and if they dont go under and crawl everything back ill root for them i love underdogs.
>>54652698
>>54658613
looks like someone made these cunts in oblivion character creator
>>54652698
I'm waiting on the Ti before upgrading my Tri-SLI 680 setup.
>>54656551
>1080 now featuring async compute
>literally loses FPS
lmao wat
>104C housefire.
>On par with 980 Ti
Nvidia needs to justify this cards existence in some way.
You can expect to see at least a 10% decrease in the 980 Ti's performance when the next drivers roll out and another 10% in the future.
>>54658839
This card is a literal piece of meme shit. The 1080 GPU itself may in fact be a nice piece of silicon, but the fact that they have no GDDR5x to plug in to PCBs has caused them to come up with this massively retarded marketing scam for the founders' edition.
If you can stomach it and get through the cringe, watch these Nvidia employees try to answer these questions from some people in the tech press that were actually asking tough questions.

>>54656752
Go read the God dam Specs yourself
NviDIA uses the Older Async Tech that is outdated and out match by a R9 200 serie ....
And Nvidia Async is also a Software implementation so i hope you love getting Gimped the next gen release to so Nvidia sales more :^)
Don't think it's true ? go look at the 780 ti it is now running at the same performance has a Gtx 960 :^)
>>54657108
Ebay
>>54659119
>AMD showcases some obscure tech that only 1 game uses and %95+ percent of the market doesn't support showing their cards with a slight edge in performance.
You can't make this shit up, what is cherry picking.
Wake the fuck up and buy Nvidia, AMD never delivers.
>>54658981
>What is the founders edition you ask?
>This is the founders edition. *shows card*...
>A card made by Nvidia.
Good questions by the journalists.
Still this video was painful to sit through.
Absolutely not. Waiting for Vega flagship and 1080Ti, then picking the better of the two.
>>54659211
Filtered.
>>54659294
Yes because people spend $600 dollars to play a video game at 19fps.
dumbass lol
>>54658763
>Tri-SLI 680
How important do games have to be to you to motivate spending $1500 on graphics alone?
>>54656551
>arbitrary percentages with no source credit
yep, /g/ everyone
>>54659319
Is $1500 supposed to be a lot? My phone cost half that.
>>54658981

>>54659350

>>54659359

fucking kek
>>54658763
>680
You mean the 670 OC edition?
>>54659363
S7 Edge
>>54659211
Because who need new improvements in Software :^) !?
The reason there only 1 game that shows the god dam increase is because there is ONLY ONE TRUE DX12 Game with Async computing at the moment... Stop reading reviews that are saying 100/100 1080 buy buy buy and go read on what's just on the other side the hill.
full dx12 support and it's new features.
AMD been basically getting ready for it since the last 5 years and Nvidia hasn't ... that's the only difference. if you can't come in terms with it Go buy your Nvidia GPU and get rip off with your new "founders" edition with a +100$USD retail price
Also i love how you ignore the lost in performance the 780 ti suffered over the years :) keep supporting a Business with a product life of 2 years!
![original[3].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/QU0xTEO.jpg "original[3].jpg")
Ayy.
>>54659395
I hope you goys are ready to pay $200 extra for the 1080Ti ungimped version.
>>54659383
>i love how you ignore the lost in performance the 780 ti suffered over the years
This is literally why I'm holding off on buying a $540 980 ti right now. You just can't trust that these Nvidia high end cards will maintain their value. At least AMD has the right technology in their high end cards so there is hope for future improvement.
>>54658981
>so these are binned
>t-they're not binned
>>54659383
Honest question, but do you have source on that claim about the 780?
>>54659435
>t-they're not binned who said they're binned who told you that hahahahahahahahahahahahahah that's crazy hah
>>54659383
Games improve just fine without AMD shilling stupid features whose only purpose is to skew some benchmarks and trick people that don't know any better into buying their unsupported garbage.
