2 RX480 > 1080GTX for 1/2 the price!
nvidiots explain this
This isn't new - a pair of mid-range cards nearly always beats the flagships for less money.
Still nobody does it because SLI and Crossfire are fucking terrible in practice.
>>55139320
Not all games support or take advantage of crossfire.
Not everyone has place for a second GPU.
Nobody really cares, Crossmeme and SLI suck.
That fucking OC though. Is this forreal?
kek nvidiots cant defend the fact that a OC RX480 destryoing a 980ti
Will future game developers start caring about multi gpu support, and will we ever see a time whereby we can chain two different GPUs together?
It's a waste throwing away a good piece of gpu away.
>>55139392
it's fake af
<-- this was the original chart
then someone removed the titan x and inserted fake 480 overclocked results in its place
then someone else removed the 1080 oc and inserted fake 480 crossfire oc results in its place
>>55139320
Well where shall we start, Ok for one that jpg isnt real. Its a lovely fake like the other ones the poor people keep posting up!
anyone have any real benchmark scores for it on firestrike? i have a 980 and i'm willing to run a couple of comparison tests to clear all this shit up.
>>55139445
implying this isnt the doctored version nvdiots are circulating and spreading false rumors that the 1070 is DX12 ready
>>55139550
All reviews of the card are embargoed until the 29th. Nothing you see now will be indicative of the cards actual performance.
>>55139320
There is no CrossfireX going on in that picture.
What I do see though...
>GCN4 clocks to 1.8Ghz
topkek
>Has better than 100% clock-to-performance scaling
topkek
1.8 / 1.4 = 1.285
5352 / 4094 = 30.7
likewise,
1.8 /1.08 = 1.66...7
5352 / 3194 = 1.6765
Apparently AMD has made the world's first processor that gets more done per clock the higher it is clocked beyond stability nominal, versus literally all of computing history where this has remained simply impossible.
Even the 1.08 > 1.4Ghz bump has nearly completely perfect performance scaling. The entire chart is a lie.
/autism
>crossfire scaling
>>55139320
Benchmarking scores don't show you how shitty CrossFire is. Enjoy your driver crashes and general instability.
>>55139851
Too bad Crossfire scales better than that ancient technology called SLI
I need two 480's in xfire so I can play Roblox. ActiveX is so immersive.
>>55139875
Crossfire scales better in theory, in practice AMD does not give a single fuck and support in new games (where you actually need the performance) is fucking abysmal and glitches abound.
>>55139353
This, SLI/Crossfire are never well optimized enough to be worth it.
Just found this 1 day old score.
Because CF (or SLI) isn't guaranteed to work
unlike one GPU
and two 1080s > two 480s
>>55140001
Wow 2 cards that each cost more than 2 480s is better. Who'd have thought????
>>55139993
>2 cards slower than 1 GTX 1080
IT'S OVER, AYYMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

>>55140010
Well I am not poor, so money is not the deciding factor and if you want performance then two 1080s > two RX480.
If you can bring two GPUs, so can I.
>>55139993

http://www.3dmark.com/fs/8834341
>>55140010
1x 1080 $700 MSRP cost more then 3x as much as a 3x RX480 MSRP $200
>>55140029
no-one was ever contesting that because it's fucking obvious you mongoloid.
>>55140025
Considering the cost difference. Who cares? But anyhow CF is not that great at present. DX12 may or may not fix that but in the meantime CF is a risk.
>>55139993
that's pretty bad. my 980 single card gets just under a 1000 less score. i can probably make some of that up by overclocking.
>>55140047
2x470 most likely not 480's. Divided by 1.83 gives a score that seems more likely to be a 470 in CF than a 480.
>>55140064
lol can an i7 really bottleneck an 980??
>>55140108
no it's clearly a 480x based on the clock speeds and vram. with your calculation you just found out the single card performance of a 480x.
you saw it first here guys.
>>55140134
4gb or 8gb cards. if not the 8gb's why arent they appearing naywhere
>>55140108
>>55140134
it is a 480. if you do the math based on the 3dmark cf testing you get a score of 2626. now if you compare it to the results videocardz were given (which they said was a pcpartner sample and most likely has a slight factory oc), their 480 got a score of 2889. by looking at the difference between the two scores you can pretty much see that the one tested in >>55139993 was most probably a stock 480 and the one given to videocardz was most probably a slightly factory oc vendor card with it's very slight score increase.

>>55139392
It's real.
>>55140212
Confirmed to be between 390 and 390x like almost everyone predicted except deluded shills.
Humor a retard for a moment
When are the non-reference cards usually announced? Will they likely be coming out on the 29th too?
>>55140382
As far as I know the Sapphire and Gigabyte might be the 2 only non reference cards ready for the 29th
>>55140349
So it isn't worth it, better get an 1070.
>>55140453
wtf is that a showerhead? i thought better of sapphire. also does a 480x really need 2 fans? i think for a 1x6pin 150watt card its a bit overkill
>>55140453
Are there any pictures of the Gigabyte one?
I looked yesterday and there were a bunch of cards leaked but they were all just the stock card with stickers on them. None of them even added a DVI port or anything
>>55139353
Except, that issue is solved in dx12.
>>55140508
I never liked Sapphire's design and totally agree with the shower head cheese grater comments. Does it need two fans? Most cards come with 2 fans for better cooling also it's rumored AMD will release a over clocking tool. So yea 2 fans.

Why are you people so stupid? This card isn't a 1070 competitor. OF COURSE you buy a 1070 if you have the budget for it, you fucking retard. This card is aimed at people who can't afford a 1070, or simply won't pay $400+ for a graphics card.

You're using the wrong image, in this one you can see how the 1080 wins in 2 out of 3 tests (Extreme and ultra).
Also cf and sli are both shit in most games.
>>55139320
But 2 RX 480 can't beat 2 GTX 1080

>>55141104
2x480 can't beat most aftermarket 1080s
>>55140533
>that issue will finally be fixed with X!
the decade long cry of the amdrone.
>>55140533
Crossfire and sli are not going to be fixed but replaced by multi-adapter on dx12 but it needs some work in the game engine to work so not all dx12 titles will properly support it.
Anyway it's too soon for dx12, there's a lot of games that are going to be released without dx12 support so dx11 needs to perform well on the newer cards too.
ps. if amd can stop breaking 2d acceleration from time to time this should be great.
>>55141104
4 rx 480 vs 2 gtx 1080s tho
>>55141727
Quad-CF/SLI scaling has never been good.
>>55140533
Except there is only 1 game that supports DX12 mGPU and it still uses alternate frame rendering.
>>55140591

>>55144063
AMD cards have been consistently disappointing since the 7970
I don't how people can continue to defend that company
>>55144165
That wasn't my point, anon...
Christ, are all brand loyal fags this retarded?
>>55139320
1080 and 2x480 are both bad ideas, OP.
CF support is not great, and nobody has any idea how long it will take for DX12/Vulkan explicit multi-GPU to take off, if it ever does.
Likewise, the 1080 is a $700-$850 enthusiast card that will make the 980 look like a good investment when Vega/GP102 come out next Winter.
The only near-term viable choices are the 460/470/480 in the $100-$250 segments or the 1070 if you have $400-$500 to burn.
The 1070 is also not that great of a value, but at least it's a bit better than 980Ti/Titan X in both price (definitely) and performance (not hugely).
So the reference sapphire cooler was leaked and it looked just like a regular one. What happened to pic related? It's gorgeous.
>>55144224
I'm not brand loyal, I used to like AMD cards but they have been hot garbage for the 4-5 years
>>55141034
So what you're saying is that the card with higher memory bandwidth wins on high memory bandwidth tests? Mind=blown
>>55144383
Cool story.
I don't belive you. (also, you still avoided my original point)
>>55144341
Perhaps it's the backplate of a non-reference design that doesn't look like a cheese grater
Maybe the reason there's no 1080 stock is that they overdid it on the stealth plane design on the founders edition and now they can't find them
>>55139445
A 1300 mhz rx480 would match the performance of the 980 ti? If so then amd is crushing nvidia.
I am getting a 2K 144hz monitor soon. To go along with that ill need a new gpu. My budget is around $450. So my choices are a gtx1070 or 2 rx480's.
Right now im leaning towards the 2 rx480's but I haven't ran two gpu's in a build before. So i am a little hesitant. Even if a game is not optimized well for crossfire won't i still get better performance than if i had only one rx480?
>>55139320
crossfire FPS ≠single GPU FPS
Enjoy your cancerous micro stuttering.
>>55144578
get the 8gb rx480 it is only going to be $30 more than the 5gb version. So for $460 you will have a nice setup if you go for a freesync monitor
muh 1080 so POWERFUL ayymd poorfags cant even

Can't wait until the 480 benchmarks and reviews come in. Expect two of the following outcomes:
1. 480 lives up to the hype and AMD shills across /g/ will remain smugly superior
2. 480 turns out to be an overhyped, not-up-to-par card mirroring the disappointment of fiji/fury etc. NVIDIA shills will gloat relentlessly and shitpost like crazy

Aren't you at least a little bit ashamed of yourselves?
>>55146092
At best you're going to get a card with 980 performance for $250 which will only last for 2 to 3 more years if you're lucky.
The GTX970/980 are almost 2 years old already and they are starting to show their age and that is at 1920x1080.
The 970/980 were good two years ago when they could max out everything at that resolution, now they aren't that good of an option, specially paired with something like a 4690K or Skymeme with fast 2400mhz+ DDR4 memory.
The EVGA GTX970 often goes on sale for $240 and same with the 390.
In the end wait fags are going to be the most affected since they could have gotten one of those and enjoy the same performance for about the same price.
If you have a shit AMD CPU then the 480 is okay since you won't get the most out of stronger GPU anyway.
>>55144578
Crossfire and SLI sucks, don't get the RX 480s unless you really want a freesync display over a gsync one. But yes, you will get better performance than a single RX 480, it'll just have drawbacks like micro stuttering and outputting heat into your case which could cause the cards to not run as fast as they could etc etc.
>>55146270
the 4690 is sufficient for 1080p. So are 970 and 980 -- they will easily last another two years if you're not a moron and know how to lower some antialiasing settings.
Unless you are a richfag, there is no fucking reason to keep changing GPUs so often.
>>55145944
>AMD puts puts crossfire rx 460 in Xbox Scorpio.
Source? From what they've revealed, it's a single APU.
>>55146328
>lowering settings
totally haram
If you can make a comprosse like having to lowering settings you should be capable of saving up a little more money for s tronger card that will last 2 years more.
Might as well buy a console if you can't do that.
>>55146270
>using amd gpu with amd cpu
Enjoy that driver overhead
>>55146092
>>55146092
The middle path seems most likely: The Rx480 performs like a Gtx980 and while it overclocks well it never reaches the heights of a Fury x. Most of the leaks point to this anyway.
>>55146270
>now they aren't that good of an option

>>55146407
Neither does crossfire, AMD used Ashes of the Singularity to show off the performance of two RX 480s because it natively supports multiple GPUs and scales better than crossfire. Multiple GPU systems are shit and shouldn't be considered for gaming unless you absolutely need that extra 30-40% increase over the fastest available single card.
>>55146270
You're retarded. There's very few games a 980 can't handle at 1080p. That performance and more efficient power draw for 200 bucks is huge.

It is my first time waiting for a gpu reveal and I think I might be crazy, I just keep looking for leaks and shit, and I'm not doing anything else on the internet.
The worst thing is that I will probably will have to wait a least another month before deciding and buying which one I will get. Fuck my miserable life.

Are you retarded anon? No matter how strong is the GPU is if the CPU can feed the GPU instructions.
The same in inverse.
Update info on the Rx 480 -----------------------------
Earlier here today i posted some info on two different AIB vendors releasing $300 dollar 1500mhz Rx 480 Editions. There is some clarity i wanted to update on what exactly this means. Its quite simple, There will be some "superclocked" editions (< not the exact name) released with a bios option set at 1500mhz, its as simple as that. As for how many others vendors will release these Rx 480's that have the bios option switch to 1500mhz is unknown outside of the two companies that i am aware of. I cannot share which companies are releasing this but honestly I am told that all 6+8 pin Rx 480's are said to get this 1500mhz mark with software, Let me just quote what they said...this is a C/P from my email that was forwarded to me by my brother just a few hours ago.
>>55146621
Cont.
This particular $300 Rx 480 OC Edition will have toggle with two bios options - Standard bios of 1266mhz and Extreme bios of 1500mhz - All 6+8 pin models will be able to reach the 1500mhz mark - the only difference is some editions will have a overclock bios setting that will be set at the 1500mhz mark - while other cards will have to be done manually although today its easy to do manually by just a few clicks of a button with software - While running at 1570mhz - the OC edition runs at 72c with 99% gpu load with 65% fan - one impressive feat to say the least - This bodes well for AMD's new Polaris cards as it shows these cards are capable of even more than this impressive 1570mhz mark - In fact, in a closed box setup, we were able to "easily" obtain 1600mhz while running Battlefield 4 for over an hour with zero crashes or artifacts all while keeping below the 75c mark while using 99% gpu load - Even more impressive is the fact that the voltage usage leaves room for even a bit further tweaking to further our overclock past 1600mhz - One has to wonder what AMD has with the entire lineup of Vega right now - we can only imagine pure bliss in terms of performance at the top enthusiast level - AMD really does have something special on their hands. The Rx 480 while running 1500mhz is on par with the stock 1070 in-game, it even beats it on some games at this clock, anything more and the 480 begins to put some distance between the two cards. Keep in mind this is Dx12 games, this is where GCN 4 truly shows off.

>>55146678
your premise is retarded faggot, you could've brought a 290x 3 years ago and skipped this generation hurrr. Guess they shouldn't bother ever making new gpus then since each generation is only a 20% improvement over the last one. Kill yourself.
I've been on nvidia for the last five years simply because their cards have been better, but I really hope AMD succeeds in this generation so I can switch. Nvidia is an undeniably shitty company. I'm currently studying for a PhD in computer graphics and it's endlessly frustrating how Nvidia simply take technology invented and open-sourced by universities, give it a flashy brand name and claim it as their own. VXGI, MFAA, TXAA and most of their other proprietary technologies in GameWorks were literally developed earlier to run on any GPU. Nvidia just takes them, packages them together and makes them only run on their hardware.
>>55146776
Indeed you could have.
Once again, waitfags BTFO.
'Friendly reminder that crypto mining has rised again and the farms are hunting for this new efficient chip.'
I fucking hate those fuckers. They keep causing price hikes.
>>55146777
Get fucked commie. Nvidia has no incentive to bring these things to mass market if they can't profit off of it.
1070's are around 450-500 last I checked so if the 480 is somewhat comparable to a 1070 or close with the higher clocks @200-300 that's a great deal. Why I love the 7950 damn thing oc's right up to a 7970 (touch more) with no sweat and is a couple years old lol.
>>55146777
If I was looking for the best single card it would be nvidia for sure. I think it's traded every now and then though the last few years. I still run my 7950 290 and 390 though which were steals. 7950 I know back in the day got hiked up due to miners so I got lucky and got in before that shit happened. Enjoying the fact that my 2500k 4690k systems hell even an older qx cpu still hold up today for gaming.

See ya in a month when all this shitposting will come back at you AMDrone. Also people posting those Korean shoops should be banned from 4chan.
All i know is Ill get a decent card that i can play the witcher 3, overwatch, and doom at the highest settings comfortably. Ill be able to do it for cheap. I dont care if the 1070 could play the games better. I am not paying $400+ for a gpu.
>>55145132
4 cores for most things, 6 cores for some and headroom for the ones with 4 core limits and 8 cores for the very few and even more head room so you can do shit in the background while you play a game.
10 cores, while i have no doubt would make the computer feel even smoother when you have tons of shit going, is stupid for its price
12 cores would be 2 cpus (or one ungodly expensive xeon) and i have no experience with multi gpu, assuming its the same as multi core, look at 10, and then 16 core, look at 10 and 12
>>55139442
likely the big engines will put multi gpu into the coding from the get go, so it will require next to no work to get it working.
till then, its still crossfire and sli which both suck.
>>55139605
there are a few leaks due to benchmarking software uploading what they find, which put it in a very wide range of performance segments.
there is a reason this card starts at $200 and AMD has given vague performance numbers and it's under a tight NDA
the AMD rumor mill has been going straight retarded and it's going to be hilarious when actual benchmarks come out.
using a tiny sliver of critical thinking, do you really think AMD made a $200 card that rivals the $380 1070 but somehow decided to not mention it at all?
>>55149006
>implying AMD hasn't made boatloads of money from consoles
>implying they arent cutting costs and taking loses to drive Nvidia out of mid-high range market where 80% of the money is
shit if the graphics are even remotely true an i suspect they are then the RX480 destroys the overpriced 970GTX then rivals the 980Ti when overclocked. I call that a win.

with AMD it's always "wait for _____!!!!" and then "_____" either doesnt come or underwhlems so they move onto a new thing to wait for
this has literally been happening for years

many after market solutions do push heat back into the case, which is why in a multi gpu setup blowers are usually preferable.
as for the heat they push into the system heating the card up to the point that it throttles, no, not on good coolers or in good cases.
>>55144791
personally, i would pay a premium for 144hz, that said, i just also got to try out a freesync monitor, and THAT makes a significant difference. remember the video where the guy said more fps is always better and argued that there can be input lag even at 60 just because the frame was done so long before its shown?
gsync and freesync take that away.
my god even low fps feels good on them, something i was fucking shocked about.
>>55146332
>Source? From what they've revealed, it's a single APU.
does not mean that the apu only has one silicon on it though.
>>55146092
If the card out paces a 970, it will be a solid performing card especially for the cost.
if it outperforms a 980, it will be fucking amazing for its price.
if it preforms at fury level, shit nigga that price.
and if it ocs like a demon (amd putting out their own oc tools makes it sound like they are daring you to push it to the limit) then shit, this thing for 200 or even 300 aftermarket is a bargain.
literally i don't believe amd can lose with this thing.
>>55140533
DX12 means I would have to install Botnet 10, and the only game I really play uses DX9. Ironically it would work very well with multi GPU if it didn't have Scaleform (aka Adobe Flash) UI.
>>55149337
>implying developers aren't going to use Vulkan because it's just outright better
>>55146343
i'm not autistic, jaggies when games are in motion don't bother me so i turn aa off, why do i need an effect that blurs lines and wastes that much fucking processing power doin it?
shadows, lets be real here, the difference between medium and max in most games is adding softening to the shadow, and unless the shadow map is big enough the effect looks like shit, so i turn that down too.
only part that really makes a massive impact on how games look is texture, and if you have the ram to hold those textures you are golden.
then you also have gimpworks that fuckes over games for everyone, just amd a bit more.
>>55149006
>using a tiny sliver of critical thinking, do you really think AMD made a $200 card that rivals the $380 1070 but somehow decided to not mention it at all?
Yes? They're not trying to push into the high end, they're just going to carve off 60-70% of the middle end market.
If it overclocks easily to 1070 levels then AIBs will sell them for near that price at "superclocked" levels.
>>55149417
I mean shit, they sold the 7970 at 800Mhz for half a year with people often pushing it on a 50% overclock before they finally started selling it at 1Ghz clocks.
This is basically that happening again. AMD will push out a card that eats up the middle end but gets beat by Nvidia's high end offerings until it gets a base clock bump and more driver optimizations.
>>55149068
So AMD is making boring cards for the masses and only cares about money, while Nvidia makes luxury products for enthusiasts?
>>55149500
you say that likes its a bad thing.
>a company is making cards for a large market how dare they
you do realize you sound retarded
AMDfags are the /g/ equivalent of "its just a beta!" fags
>>55149518
>AMD
>Large market
Nvidia has the professional market, the business market, the mobile market, the laptop market, and the enthusiast market
All AMD has is the poorfag market.
No wonder they have only 18% share.
>>55149549
>All AMD has is the poorfag market.
The poorfag market is growing because Asia/Latin America/etc etc are developing to the point where people are becoming less poor and can afford mid range laptops that have APUs capable of gaming. Laptops are actually pretty popular gaming machines in third world countries where power outages are common.

Glad I preordered my EVGA 1080 FTW when I did. Upgrading from a 660ti, can't wait for 1440p/144hz gaymen.
fuck amd
>>55149549
Out of all of those the only one that matters is Professional (for supercomputer work).
Enthusiast market is <13% of consumer purchases.
They don't have anything in mobile (nobody wants tegra).
Laptops are a small part of all markets.
And businesses just buy whatever shitboxes will run their software (usually just Intel chips using IGP).
Also, if you think they only have 18% market share, you're dreaming.

>>55149646
Jesus, that's awful man. Are you sure it's not something to do with drivers or card bios? Stupid question, I'm sure you've already googled and tried a hundred different fixes. You could always try their phone support, though, they might know some quick fix to what might turn out to be a common problem.
>>55139320
More like 2/3s the price. 400 != 1/2(650)
In practice an SLI or crossfire setup can encounter far more problems than a single card solution. Factors of power draw, efficiency, heat, compatibility, application usage, and increased risks of component failure are all things not to forget when trying to combine two high power cards just to beat a single solution to save a couple dollars
If you want high end performance, buy components that were designed to complete high performance tasks.
That's why the Bugatti gets left all the time. Took two twin turbo V8's and mashed them together and still got creamed by a single v8 and still gets left in low end by 6 cylinder vehicles
>>55149674
I fell for the FE meme because I was impatient (I had no GPU in my rig before as it was my first rig) and the non reference cards cost about the same. I guess this is sort of a good thing, I can just get a refund and get a non FE card now.

Gigabyte 1080 and 1070 have coil whine. Their Rma process is a fucking nightmare. That said I just bought a gigabyte motherboard. If you're willing to replace something that dies while still in warranty go for it.

It's Bulldozer all over again, it's been hyped up so much now, even at E3 and they showed Doom running Zen...wtf they showed glimpses of Doom being played no actual performance just rattling the hype machine. AMD is good at smoke and mirrors come 29th we'll actually see these for what they are.
>>55155411
Based on this :http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/steamvr-performance-test-gpu-comparison,4489.html#sthash.7yu2UnY4.sfju
The 480 should perform roughly equal to a 970.
>>55155776
fuck off shill, wrong 70, you mean the 1070
i bought 2x680's on launch and im wondering when i should upgrade
>>55155856
get the 480, you won't be disappointed
>>55155776
I always marked it as 390X mabye 980 at best performance which is a normal generation gap. It seems to overclock all right though which is a good sign. In the end though everyones trying to compare a low end card to a mid and a high end card. We can't know how good the AMD line up is if we don't even have a card in the same league as our base (1070/1080). Most of the last generation the 290X was duking it out with the 970 until late where it began to take on the 980. The 380 is something I would never touch my system with just like anything under the 70 series from NVIDIA (not to bash 380 or 960 or lower owners its just the bottom of the barrel).
I just want a card that will perform well at 1440P on a 144hz monitor.
>>55156334
480 can do 4k easily according to leaks
>>55156334
define well.
>>55156334
The 1070 can do that by turning some settings down. The 1080 can do that maxed out. Vega will probably be able to compete with the 1070 and 1080 if you're willing to wait until q1 2017.
>>55155776
>using steam vr scores to compare gpus
>>55139320
It's obviously fake, /g/ told me the 480 overclocks to 5ghz on air
>>55156334
Won't happen this generation. Or at least... You'll get a mediocre result. End of 2017 we will be getting close to perfection. You need a 1080ti OC or a 490X OC to come close ON CURRENT GAMES.
>>55156467
from what i saw on linus tech tips you dont need to turn down anything for a 1070 at 2k
>>55139320
That's why you buy two 1080s. Try to beat that.
>>55155411
That benchmark relies heavily on CPU, benchmarks for the same GPU vary wildly depending if your CPU has a form of hyper threading or not

It seems like two 8GB 480's with a freesync monitor will be the way to go. It will be wonderful. Ive had nvidia for my last two builds but this launch really pissed me off. Charging an early adopters tax ontop of a paperlaunch is just a dick move.
Also charging a premium for their g-sync tech when free sync is open sourced is also a dick move.

MMM... I come from the opposite end of the pond. Two OC 290X and it's not great. Some games like COD3BO are perfect though getting an easy 120 frames MAXED at 144hz 1440p. Just as I thought AMDs drivers were getting better and I was having no problems the last 3 drivers have had reinstated all crossfire issues in games that were previously perfect. It seems every step forward is a step back. It comes down to if I install this driver I can play this game and this game but not this one which I can only run on one card. Go for that 490X or fury successor. I haven't seen micro stutter on any of my tests yet on the 290Xs which is a leap forward. Crossfire is significantly better than it was in the 6000 series but not good enough yet.

Please tell me this shit isn't real. I mean, the reference card looks 1000% better.
>>55156740
I have a 1070, it averages around 100 to 120 fps in most games maxed out, if you want the full 144 fps then you'll need to turn down a few settings. It's not a big deal at all though, it's pretty hard to tell the difference between 100 and 144 fps.
>>55157433

No gonna happen until at least Q1 next year. Probably even later. Nvidia is scrambling to release the 1060 in October. AMD's 480 is really disrupting if not economically at least it fucked up nvidia's release plan for this year and next. Depending on Vega there may even not be ti versions of the 10xx gen.
>>55157937

Dude what, that's no good at all.
I'm sitting here on a 280x, been waiting forever for the 1080ti and now I'm gonna have to wait half a year?
I have an AIO cooler lying around I was planning to use for a 1080 card.
So far I've heard that the problem with OCing so far has been the power.
Any of the custom versions of the 1080 that excel at OCing? Or should I just go cheap reference?
>>55157992
You run your card maxed out all the time?
>>55158085
