I can't handle these memes.
I'm building a new PC and I can't handle the graphics card memes.
480 is shit, 480 is the best thing of all time. 1070 is shit, 1070 is the best thing of all time.
What's just a meme and what's true? Should I wait for a 480 or should I get a previous-generation nvidia card such as a 970? I am new to PC building and this is all so confusing and hard to get accurate information... it doesn't help that the GPU industry is needlessly confusing/complex, seemingly by design. All the weird naming conventions, marketing gimmicks and shit that the companies use for their cards seems like it's designed to confuse me. What should I do /g/?
>>
just get the 480 retard
>>
>>55085810
Don't fuckin take /g/'s advice. All we are are a bunch of neckbeard cladded fan boys who have nothing better to do with our day than to spout red and green colored memes all day. Do your own research.
>>
The 480 is $200 and has enough performance for 1080p@60 in every game ever made.

Shut the fuck up and buy it
>>
dont believe meme benchmarks wait for actual in game average fps counts

> if it doesn't suit your needs
It's a meme
> if it does suit your needs
It's the greatest thing ever

Don't listen to /g/, at all, for any reason, EVER. Do your own research. There are much better independent resources that shitposting autists.
>>
>>55085810
480 is good enough. Good even.
1070 is better? And more money.
Just get a 480, or if you want to spend money 1080
>>
480 and 1070 are cuck cards

If you want to do actual gaming, you're going to need a 1080.

That's all there is to it.
>>
>>55086107
>you need the 1080
You can't play games with a single GPU fool. 2 1080's minimum
>>
>>55086107
> actual gaming
What the hell constitutes 'actual gaming' to you? For me, it's literally just kicking back and enjoying myself. I had more fun with Ori and the Blind Forest than I have had with most recent AAA titles.
>>
>>55086128
One 1080 is the absolute minimum if you're going to do gaming. Like I said, 1070 is a cuck card.

Personally getting a 1080 and I'm gonna pitch that shit as soon as the 1080ti comes out.

Now that'll be a sweet card. Poor 1070 cucks.

i feel like /v/ has invaded and is telling /g/ to buy stupid shit that /g/ doesn't need to piss money away on, like new cards to play shit new games that will run fine on 3-4 year-old hardware at a fraction of the cost.

Early adopters are cucks.
>>
>>55085810
Why would you use a gpu when you can have punch cards instead?
>>
>>55086283
If you're getting a 1070 you might as well put your cock in a cage. If you're too poor to get a 1080 you're too poor for PC gaming.
>>
>>55085990
Literally this. It's common sense. You wait until we get actual benchmarks, you check the performance, you check the price, you check the longevity and the drivers, and what professionals are saying. Then you match these to the competetion that you're in the market for and you check which one is worth more money to you. This is the same process as buying anything.

You're pretty stupid if you're taking advice from /g/


Check'um!

It's simple:

480 now if you plan to upgrade later, 1080/1070 if you plan to regret your decision in 2 years.

>>55085951
except it's false 390 already struggle with few games and in year you won't be able to run 50% of AAA games at 1080p@60fps, in 2 years 90% games will be unplayable

>480 now if you plan to regret your decision after 2 days, 1080/1070 if you plan to play any game in 2 years.
