I'm in desperate need of a new gpu, should I get a 1070 or wait for polaris/HBM2?
June 10th for GTX 1070, just wait

The 1070's throttling issues will be the newest scandal since the 970's 3.5gb issue. The Nvidiots will defend it all day long. You're better off waiting for Polaris.
Get the 1070.
Best bang for buck and best efficiency by far, I'd be surprised if AMD came anywhere near that level.
>Polaris
Enjoy your mediocre performance.

HBM1/2 is overpriced and useless at this point...
Wait for Polaris and then choose, don't be a retard
>>54842366
It's only got throttling issues so far because nVidia's reference coolers suck ass. They always have.
>>54842576
Okay. So nvidia WILL HAVE ISSUES and not meet expectations, they're jews, etc. but AMD promises the world and it's the new gospel.
I like both of them and hope they both thrive. You know. The whole competition thing. I really do hope all the extravagant, bullshit-sounding promises AMD is making are true.
>>54842576
980 perf/watt levels, but not interesting for me, I need something for 4K survival. The 1070 has confirmed 2 MB L2.
>>54842737
>Implying AMD stock coolers are better
They are all shit.
>>54842704
Polaris is a midrange GPU
Nobody can say for sure until a few hours when AMD has their official announcement of their new cards. And even that is not perfect, it could just be marketing hype like Nvidia's announcement. If you want to be super sure in your purchasing decision, wait until Polaris is actually out.
However, if it's super urgent just get the 1070. Polaris will probably be a while until you can get it in your hands (doesn't the NDA lift on like the end of June? So it has to release then or after then). Also Polaris will definitely be below the 1070 in terms of total performance because Polaris isn't trying to compete with the 1070/1080, so if you're in the $350-$400 price range just get the 1070.
>>54842750
I'm waiting for other contenders to break through the market, but seeing how Team Green and Red are so dominant already in the industry, we'll be on our hand and knees for them for years
>>54842778
We already know that two RX 480 for $200 each in crossfire are faster than a $700 GTX 1080.
>>54842812
>crossfire are faster than a $700 GTX 1080
lol
>>54842762
>implying I was implying anything.
Yeah, reference coolers are shit. Wait until the custom boards come out, then we'll see what the 1080/1070 can really do.
>>54842812
From leaks, I'm guessing? I'm cautiously optimistic about Polaris, but leaks also said that the 1080 ran ridiculously cool on air.
>>54842301
You don't need a new GPU. Save your money and perhaps some day you will stop being poor and will actually be able to afford a new GPU whenever you want it.
>>54842301
get the rx 480 at $200, performance of a 390, total power draw of 135w at peak, it'll be out end of June or start of July
>>54842576
The 480 will be the equivalent of the 1060, you fucking retard.
Just like that 380 was the equivalent of the 960.
>>54842301
nigga wait for Vega/HBM2
>wait
>wait
>wait
Frustration intensifies
>>54842767
I know that, so what? There's no reason not to wait
>>54842927
One more day friend
I feel your pain, my 7850 is driving my insane
>>54842301
If your budget is max $300, wait for Polaris.
If your budget is minimum $600, see if you can find a 1070 somewhere for sale.
>>54842301
wait for polaris

>I've literally been gaming on the integrated graphics in my computer while waiting for Polaris to be announced to decide between it or a 1070
It's much more capable than I thought, the HD530 in my i5 runs games better than an Xbox 360/PS3 in my experience. Those consoles are 10 years old obviously, but it's kind of a cool novelty to have that much power in the absolute low end graphics of today.
>>54843015
Fuck off waitfag
>>54843034
Yeah but PC games are even weakly less optimized just because of how many different configurations of parts there are. Integrated graphics are okay these days, but they won't run much.
>>54843015
>AMD is always shit/disappointment
>summerfag
Go back on /b/ Roy.
>>54843034
if the rx 480 is overclock capable, get it
if it can't, find a 1070
>>54843146
>AMD is always shit/disappointment
>being this new
wew lad summerfag confirmed
>>54843087
you have to be 18 or older to post here
>>54843118
Well obviously, I'm just surprised that I can even run games that are a few years old. I didn't realize before that poorfags can probably easily get by on like an AMD APU.

I too worry about my GPU being detected by RADAR.
>>54843289
Have you tried ignoring threads you don't like? A lot of us are making a decision like OP soon and it can't hurt to discuss it.

LURK MOAR NEWFAG
>>54842301
Why make something that's just going to sit inside your PC look this cool?
>>54843333
Quads speak the truth.
Stop trying to save a board that was never good in the first place.
>>54842301
You should wait for Vega.

TOPPEST OF KEKS
YOU A FUNNY MAN
>>54844480
ayy lmao
>>54842762
980 performance with 130w @ $199
Two of them will be cheaper than a single 1070 and will be equivalent to 1080 or so.
>>54844579
>$379
>$400
>cheaper
You funny and very gud in math
>>54843289
You do realise if you eradicated all tech support and consumer review type treads then most of the discussion on this board would be dead?
My 290x Lightning died today, when are custom designed 1080's going to be available?
