Hey /g/!
Recently bought the GTX 1070 expecting it to live up to the hype.
It didn't. Coming from a 660ti, there really isn't much of a difference. I did some benchmarking against a friend's 980ti and his rig actually outperformed mine.
Not sure if the card is defective or if I'm bottlenecking here. The largest difference between our builds is the case... so I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar.

Nice blog. Subscribed. Now fuck off
>>55169341
You're the boss
OC 980ti outperforms the 1080.
>>55169668
[citation needed]
>>55169316
The 1070 is ~10% worse than an OCd 980ti.
>>55169668
Errr nope.
>>55169316
The cpu could be bottlenecking. My i5 did with the 1080
>>55169316
Another 660ti owner here and I've been seriously considering the 1070. This worries me
>>55170604
Even the 970 beats a 660ti so this is either bait or you are very silly
>>55169316
Run firestrike and report back, you might've been shit on in the silicon lottery
>>55170712
Cant see what ram he has either.
>>55169668
so tired of "this card overclocked beats this one stock"
>>55170727
Or what games he's testing. With our luck it's probably something cpu intensive
>>55170538
I highly doubt that Ivy or Sandy or even 1st get i7 can bottleneck any current GPU on the market.
>>55170794
Yup like I say I had a i5-4460 which bottled when I was trying to run the witcher3 on full whack.
did the same on battlefield & others too. (using the 1080 card)
>>55169316
Remember, your computer is only as fast as your slowest memory module, that's where the bottle necking starts.
>>55169316
1070 is only better than a reference 980ti. Once you overclock both to their potential, 1070 is left in the dust. This is primarily due to nvidia making sure 1080 is the king of the hill and also due to the 10 series having horrible overclock scaling. But hey, at least you saved almost $200 right?
>not waiting for r9 480/490
kek
>>55170861
The 480 is a 390x standard. why would he wait...
>>55169316
>>55170826
Both of you. Go to nvidia control panel, and check your settings.
Step 1. Performance - set it to maximum.
Step 2. Make sure DSR is turned off (control panel will automatically supersample your games if you have the power to do it, even if you don't want it to)
Step 3. PROFIT
The issue isn't with the card, with your dumb ass not setting up the drivers.
>>55170844
But then what happens if you overclock the 1070?
>>55170910
Funny that msi afterburner and CPUID both said 100% cpu usage.
>>55170825
Of course they can but depends on the application. For games in general? Likely not.
>>55171044
Can they tho?
It's not like GTX1080 is harder to run than GTX980Ti if anything GTX980Ti should be more demanding on the CPU and they only with advent of new GTX1080 we hear about bottleneck.
> Lga 1155
>>55171254
Ivy boards are pretty good, Only a few fps overall difference between that and a 1150 board. Plus they are cooler temp wise too
>>55171044
Most games are designed around FHD at 60Hz. If you try to play games at 144Hz, you'll always hit a CPU bottleneck before a GPU bottleneck, as CPU requirements increase tremendously, but there few settings that ease the load on the CPU, dynamic shadows being the biggest one.
>>55171320
It doesn't had upgrade before 4th generation
>>55173017
Could you try wording that again so it makes sense?
>>55171254
>he thinks theres a reason to upgrade from sandy/ivy bridge
kek good goyim
>>55173017
The socket 1155 if im not so bad doesnt have support for the new generation of processors (nothing before 4th)
> more sense now
>>55174806
Bloody hell, what a Goddess
>>55169316
This very same model was bottlenecking my 970. Can only imagine what it does to 1070. Get at least 6660k or a cheap 4790k
>>55169316
>still rocking the 3570
My nigga.
This is most likely the one thing "bottlenecking". Unless some anon can post ridiculous loss numbers, I'd be surprised if for most games you see a huge step back in performance because of that CPU.

Also install MSI afterburner make sure to display CPU and GPU usage in OCD. Run maxed Witcher 3 in 1440p if u don't have a 1440p monitor just use Nvidia downscaling via Nvidia experience. If CPU hits a 99% usage b4 GPU change CPU, if they both can't reach 99 it could be bad RAM or PSU. If GPU reaches 99% first and runs like shit RMA. I'm here to help.
>>55175462
Not OP, but he is stuck with that CPU unless he changes the motherboard.
>>55175520
Yep that's sadly the case. I don't remember so I'm not sure if there's a point in buying used 3770k. Also op try to oc that cpu it can easily handle 3.8 on stock cooler maybe that helps. If not id recommend 4970k as mobos are cheaper than 1151 ones and u don't need new ram.
>>55169316
No drivers yet
>>55174887
You mean God
>>55176834
As if that'd stop me.
A SOCKET CHANGE A YEAR KEEPS THE GOYIM IN FEAR
>actually buying a GTX 1070
you fell for da meme, man
delet sistem 34 and your video games will run at glorious 288 FPS
