Anyone else get lucky enough to grab a card before they sold out? I spent my entire work day trying to get one and I just now got my order to go through.
no because I don't need the latest in meme processing ability
Waiting for the 1070.
>>54775376
No because I'm not a videogame playing manchild
>>54775376
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>54775376
>he bought the housefire version with PREMIUM™ price
HAHAHHAHA

>>54775376
>I spent my entire work day trying to get one
Why?
That time would have been better spent reading a book or journal or killing yourself.
>tfw video game manchildren are actually posting on /g/
eugh
you bought the hype, not the card.

>$700

>>54775376
Sold out? There are versions from 4 or 5 different manufactures on sale on new egg for msrp right now.
>>54775376
Jesus Christ look at all these people
"haha i'm a superior human being because I run an OS that can't play games you're a faggot for wanting something that might not be a perfect investment"
So some guy bought a thing that you don't want? Move on.

I figured I'd get this response. I just like trolling the aspies.
>>54775376
>pay $754 for a card thats about 15% better than 980ti
>overclocks like shit
>overheats
>throttles
>calling yourself lucky
How does nVidia do it?
>>54775668
I run an OS that can play games.
I'm just an adult who can see what a waste of time games are.
No need to get angry, friend.
>>54775662
they have been marked as sold out since 8 AM CST
>>54775697
they did it because I have my new rig built and no GPU in it. I'm upgrading from a 7870
you people are such sheep.

>I'm just an adult who can see what a waste of time games are.
are you actually an autismo?

Says the person with a a bunch of games installed on his cell phone. his phone
>>54775788
>a bunch of games installed on his cell phone
where did you get that idea from?
Retard.
>>54775701
To be honest, I hardly play games other than really simple stuff like Euro Truck Simulator or some web-tier shit like slither.io, so I'm not saying this out of butthurtedness from being some gaymer. That being said, games aren't wasting anyone's time. Someone playing a game, sparing outstanding exceptions, made a conscious decision to play whatever game they chose, normally for entertainment. Sure, they could have been learning a language or getting a job or something, but if they chose a game over that stuff it's not like they're going to contribute to society too soon anyway.
In summary, games aren't grabbing useful members of society and sucking the life out of them. It's only really taking time away from the kind of people that play games often (and that group doesn't cross over with successful people too much). So please take you and your superiority complex to some other board.

This is the first time there are constant shitpost threads about a shitty new nvidia gen. Can you fuck off to /v/ please? Nobody here cares except 12 year olds.
>>54775841
hol up senpai, do u really expect us 2 read all that shit?
>>54775927
>/g/ is for the discussion of technology and related topics.
That means stop crying and hide the thread if you don't like it, you little bitch.
>>54775943
Let me sum it up for you.
>I don't play games.
>Most people that play games aren't going to do much with their lives if they haven't already, so fuck you and your "i'm better because i used my brain to discover that games aren't productive" mentality.

Nice /v/-style "discussion".
>>54775376
Yes. I got one at about 8:20 while newegg was still glitched. Good for us.
>>54775999
aw hell yeah. Are you gonna fuck with VR?
>>54775701
I do hope you never watch films, TV, plays, listen to music, read fiction, or any other non-productive pursuits?
>>54776023
I'm going to wait until the tech matures and there is support for it. Honestly I just want a future proof machine for the lifespan of 1080p and when I end up getting my 4k setup going.
You got a vive?
I lucked out and got a ASUS GTX 1080 off of Newegg right before they went live. Someone posted a sales link early, and it checked out and shipped already.
>>54776054
Not yet, I just dropped $1500 on a computer plus the $750 today. I will however be buying one this year.
>>54776025
>films
nope
>TV
Haven't owned one for ~ 10 years
>plays
Only Opera.
>listen to music
All the time.
Let me guess. Playing world of minecraft for 18 hours a day is the same as listening to music for 30 mins? Yeah ok.
>read fiction
Nope.
>>54776097
hope you enjoy your dull meaningless life you dumb fucking curmudgeon.
Meanwhile, I got a 980ti 2 months ago for the Vive, and I easily used EVGA's step up program to get their ACX 3.0 1080 model for an additional $10 (bought the card for $584)
Enjoy your founder's edition fag
>>54776115
I was reading about their step up program and it seemed like a pain in the ass. That's why I let nvidia cuck me with their expensive card. However I'm not a poorfag so it's not a big deal.
>>54776114
I spend most of my time at work, socialising with friends, reading, and having quality time with my family and long term girlfriend.
Thank you for your input.
>>54776157
Normalfag please stay in facebook
>>54776078
Damn dude. I did ~$1300 build including the card I got today. My old setup had a gtx 460. Literal housefire tier. It blew up about a month ago, ironically the first chance I'd had to game in about a year.
>>54776192
holy shit! good thing nothing really bad happened. I thought all the house fire shit was just a meme.
>>54776266
It was my fault desu, I didn't clean it out ever. There was like a pound of dog hair in it. Good luck with the new setup man.
>>54776338
Right on, you too. Thanks for not being a piece of shit.
>>54776157

Nice projecting. GNU and BSD can both play games.
