GOAT GPU.
>>55584126
As a current nvidia user I agree with this on all fronts other than power consumption, but I'm stuck with an oc'ed gt 730 right now so the performance difference makes up for that.

>>55584126
7950 was better price/peformance
>>55584164
hd 6950 unlocked was even better
Best price performance for its time is the 4850 hands down.
Niggas dont remember the 7870 XT?
>>55584221
I literally used a 4850 from 2008 until like 2013. It was strong.

>>55584126
At the time, it was the best die ever designed.
Tahiti is a work of art.

Does every new release I'm interested in at 1080p 60 or 1440p 30

>ps4
>7970ghz
Bruh it's a 7850
>>55585699
No, its not.
The PS4's APU has 20CU on die, 18 are active, 2 fused off. The 7850 is 16CU.
The PS4 chip is also Sea Islands IP, where as the 7850 is Southern Islands.
Had a 7950 and a 280X after that. Great cards. Rocking a 1070 now and hoping AMD will get their shit together in high/top end again.
The 8800 GTX was the card to have for years. The 7970 was good, but, the 8800 GTX was amazing.
>>55585765
Close but no cigar here.
The Ultra was what you really wanted but they were housefires.

Please tell me you did that just for the SS and that is not your actual rig

Its literally between the 7870 and 7850 you /v/tard. It's far closer to Pitcairn than Tahiti. The 7970 has 32 CU's, where the 7870 has 20. If its not Pitcairn based, then I'm a flaming goose.
>>55586149
>proving you're a tech illiterate retard when you were just empirically proven wrong
The PS4's IGP has literally nothing to do with the Pitcairn die, you tech illiterate shit eating sub human child.
Its Sea Islands IP, not Southern Islands. It is an APU, not a separate discrete die. 18CUs, not 16 like the 7850.
>>55586166
Not to mention the PS4's IGP has 8ACEs in its front end.
>calling someone else a /v/tard when you know nothing about hardware
lol
>>55584149
>le power consumption maymay
Love this meme, literally a fucking light bulb between Nvidia and AMD cards, which is like, 5 cents per hour of use.
>>55586149
/thread
actually my oced 7850 beats ps4 gpu easily
>>55586576
Where the hell do you live that electricity costs 50 fucking cents a kWh?
>>55584126
7770 is the god tier
AMD golden days
Who still on 7850 here and waiting for a few more gen until replacement
>>55587161
HERE! I have a Radeon 7850 1gb. It really is showing its age, but in a month or so I might buy a RX 480 or GTX 1060.
Though it got a serious boost of performance when running Doom in Vulkan mode. Quite impressed.
>>55586149
It's a HD7860
>>55584126
I still have a HD7770 and Maxing out MGSV and some Overwatch senpai.
Couldn't even run Source games at 800x600 on Linux when I had one
>>55585691
Your sentence structure didn't make sense
4870x2 best hands down
Guys.
What should I get if I want 1080/60 in all current and most games 1 year from now?
I'm probably gonna go for an i5 6600K. I was initially going to get a 1070, but with the new Vulkan results in, I'm reluctant. I don't want that 1070 to lose to a 290 a year down the road, like the 780 Ti and the 79xx series.
>>55584126
Remember when /g/ was saying the 970 was GOAT? Even when 3.5 became known people we're still shilling it. Once it's sold out and EoL it'll be the next inline for the "gimping".
>>55584126
The 290 series is the new goat gpu. 7970 was the old one.
290 series benefits immensely from the new DX12 and the Vulkan architecture. Putting it near 980ti tier,
>>55588883
>/g/ shilling nvidia
You probably confused /v/ with /g/.
I still have an AGP 6600GT in my closet.
We all loved AGP right? RIIIIGHT?
>>55586576
My computer room is the warmest room in my house thanks to my r90.
So what's bang for buck at the moment from both sides?
I know for a good bit the 750ti had an insane ratio, but haven't been keeping track of things since performance seemed to stagnate around the 700 and 7000 generations.
>>55590305
honestly despite the memes the 480 is pretty good for price to performance.
>>55585615
>>55584221
i only stopped using mine in march
>>55590418
Hope that's true, waiting to see if 1060 comes out anytime soon. Or see what is out come black friday. My 760 is chugging along well enough but feeling the age now that current-gen games are well-established.
>>55585636
Lost
I dunno man, the 290x is looking to topple the mighty 7970 as the goat gpu.
>>55592467
r9 290x masterrace senpai
>>55589078
Still have a 9800 PRO in mine without a heatsink lol
>>55585664
>Still rocking a GeForce4 Ti 4200
Wasn't it amazing when nvidia focused on its poorfag lineup?
The ti4200 flew off shelves, even with the ti4400 and ti4600 on the market. People even desired it over those 2...faster memory.
>>55592467
>>55592650
WTF are you talking about r9 290 > r9 290x
