Has anyone had any luck ordering a 1080 from the Nvidia website? It shows in stock but I'm afraid I order now and it will actually ship in a couple of weeks.
>>55601362
currently have gigabyte meme 3.5
gonna pick up 1070 by msi as soon as nvidia fixes the DPC latency bug. can't afford 1080 because 1070 is $600 here
on the other note I never used MSI. Are they usually without problems?
I have four SGX530 ;^)
the vic-ii is my main
going to buy a 1080 soon, when the fucking resellers stock them that is
I have a sapphire r9 390.
Any possibility that 1070 prices will return to sane levels in the near future? I'm in the UK btw, so prices for any kind of tech are increasing right now
>>55601441
also is $200 a decent price to ask for 970 used for almost 2 years but it's in ideal condition
>>55601527
realistically speaking, somewhere closer to autumn but still it's won't be $450 like in US. UK and EU would have to pay like a hundred more
I'm kinda used to it by now tbqh
Still have two 6950s. Maybe i'll updade in 2018 or so or when Pantheon Rotf comes out.
>mfw my 390x just hit its second wind after vulkan doom and dx12 before that
Kek gonna be hilarious to see next year what it can do.
I'm just sitting here waiting for the Sapphire 480 Nitro, problem is by the time they release it I will have enough money for a 1070. Some times I think AMD has their ass up there head.
>>55601529
>Ideal condition
Ideal condition would be having 4gb

Just buy what you need to power the display you want.

omg lol xD totally dude haha
let me upvote you
>>55601644
Actually your comment got me thinking. I should take my extra and put it towards a freesync monitor.
>>55601362
I will use this forever
>>55601695
cyka ahahahahah
>>55601695
The amount of faggotry coming out of my monitor is overwhelming wow some one give me a cock I will suck it dry
>>55601695
Hows your boyfriend doing?
upgraded from my 970 to 1070
and i´m pretty satisfied with it
i can finally use triple surround 1080p without having to put all my settings to minimum
and it nicely boosts up to ~1936 MHz out of the box
>>55601695
Very nice. I have 3 of those monitors.

I will use this until it blows up, then I will get another computer from the tip :)
>>55601362
Literally using Fermi in 2016 here, famalam. Currently have an EVGA 1070 SC and a Gigabyte R9 Nano on order. Whichever ships first will be my next card.
>>55601362
Just got this 2 days ago, have it paired with an [email protected]
ask me anything.
>>55601529
No. Anyone reasonable wouldn't buy it off you for that price considering the 480 4GB is 200$.
step aside
Started with a 560ti and then upgraded to a GTX 760. Will probably buy a non-reference GTX 1060 in the next 6 months. My i7-2600k I bought in 2011 is still going strong, I feel like I may survive three or four more GPU generations before I even need to touch my CPU, so a GTX 1060 may not be the last card this rig sees.
I do not do a whole lot of gayming but when I do I like decent frame rates, so the 1060 will do. I cannot justify buying a 1070.
Pretty old. Can't get it to OC over 1100/1500 but fuck it. It will probably still last for quite a while.
in my laptop (T420s)
seriously need to get a gaming rig, this laptop is not meant for what i do to it
>>55601362
managed to snag one of these up the other day on newegg before they went out of stock again.

No shit.
>>55602370
exactly. there's honestly no excuse at this point
I'm not sure if I've won or lost the silicon lottery here. 80.8% ASIC quality according to gpu-z.
I can get it to 1600 MHz, but any higher than 1530 MHz and it start spewing occasional artifacts. A bit weird since it never reaches 80C, even if I slam voltage all the way to 1.25

Sapphire HD 7950 3Go Boost
nvidia gt 520mx ftw
anyone knows when the sapphire rx 480 nitro it´s coming out?
>>55602488
Pretty standard clocks for a 960. I had two in SLI just for funsies last year and both did just over 1500MHz.
>>55602658
"No"
Asus GTX 760
Waiting for rx480 and 1060, will probably go for Sapphire 480
Im looking to get a fractal design node 202 or silverstone rvz02 with a 1060 or 480 (depends on how prices settle in the next few weeks)
Should I look at a blower or non blower style card for these cases?
most people recommend blower but they both seem to have holes above where an aftermarket gpu fan would be to get some outside air. Im confused.
Where the fuck is the rx 480 nitro?The only place i can pre-order it is overclockers.
I have an R9 Fury. Pretty comfy desu.
patiently waiting for my 1080, how long does it usually take?
my baby :^)
>>55602928
Good job buying the only voltage locked 390 on the market, dingus.
>>55602721
Amada is a GPU!
>>55602945
never planned to OC it, its in an mITX case with pretty shit thermals, but it was on sale. It does the 1080p I need it to do.
>>55602668
How do they perform in SLI, would you say it's worth it ?
I've been thinking about adding another 960 if I come across someone selling the same model as mine for a reasonable price used.
>>55602721
I was gonna get a Fury X but got a 390 instead since there wasnt a huge difference
Hopefully vega can offer me 144hz/1440p
>>55602026
>FX-6300
I am so so sorry
>>55603045
Almost exactly like a 980 in games that have really good SLI scaling, but those are rarer and rarer these days. Can probably expect 970-ish performance in most things. I only had them for a couple of weeks before getting bored and selling them on.
And no, it's not worth the hassle. Sell the 960 and buy a 480 or something if you want more performance.
>>55601362
Been using a Gigabyte 750Ti OC'd for a couple years now
>>55603250
I use my Fury for 144hz/1440p. Fine with most things but obviously games like the Witcher 3 land around 70hz at ultra. Freesync is lovely for this though.
>>55603321
Noted, thanks. Maybe I'll sell my 960 in favor of a 1060 sometime in the future.
>>55601362
Currently using a GTX 980ti. When amd releases their flagship card and if it's not ass I'll buy that

>>55601362
In my main computer, an ATi Radeon R7 240 2GB low profile by XFX (because I'm a cheap asshole). Would love a Geforce GTX660, but can't afford one right now.
In the computer I'm using right now, oh boy... NeoMagic MagicGraph 256A/V+ with 2.5MB of video memory...
Gateway Solo 3300 is the system, running Windows 2000 with 256MB of RAM.
The Kno: dual-screen 14″ tablet. never made it to the market though
>>55602147
Jeez, and my best laptop has 945GM/GU video (which does almost everything I need it to well).
I'm actually looking into buying a laptop with Intel 965 just because the 945GM/GU is getting a bit aged for the games I play.
The laptop I'm using right now, however... NeoMagic MagicGraph 256A/V+ with 2.5MB of video memory, specifically for buffer memory.
>>55602026
In comparison to my gaming system even, your computer is literally god.
Although, my Phenom 9100e still does everything I need it to, though it does lag a bit loading YouTube videos, but not throughout them, fortunately.
970 ATM. Honestly don't see a point in upgrading. I can play all games in 2560x1080 while running high/ultra details and having stable 60 fps. Looks like Pascal isn't future proof and AMD doesn't have anything that can compete with 1070. I guess I'll wait for Vega or another nvidia architecture
>>55601362
some evga 970
I want to get the 1080ti whenever it's out and after I get a new laptop.
>>55601362
Used to have 970 but since it has died and they gave me full refund, i was able to get 1070 while paying just a little bit of extra. I've got pretty lucky.
Is 1080 really the only current gen high end gpu? It's sold out everywhere, and I fucking hate Nvidia forcing downloading drivers through an account.
>>55604054
Yes. Supposedly AMD pushed up the Vega release from early 2017 to late 2016, we'll see if they actually launch anything high end
I'm actually surprised they launched the 480, I thought 2016 would be another year of no releases from them. Still doubtful Zen will be finished in time tho
Currently using a geforce 210 (yes old ass shit useless current year) but life was hard the last 5 years i never got a chance to play games so i never cared
NOW i have some times and i was thinking to get Evga gtx 950 2gb, i think is the best upgrade, newer cards seems to me overpriced
I..Is This Normal?
>>55604149
>950
Waste of money nigga. Just get a 480, it's made for your case
>>55604257
Little low on ASIC quality, but nothing to be concerned over, basically just silicon lottery. Have you tried overclocking it?
I lucked out on my 970, I have it running 1600mhz core/8000mhz memory and it's stable af
>>55604314
I tried once, but this is a factory overclocked card so i was only able to get it up about 100mhz or so. im just concerned that I lost the silicon lottery a fuckton.
My current card. Does 1550mhz on boost and stays under 72C while doing it for benching. Bought it when it was still newish to the market. About $690 when I bought it. Worth it though.
>>55604358
AMD cards haven't been known for their overclockablility. You might have lost some potential, but again, I wouldn't be too concerned
>>55604394
Thanks man, I might try pushing it a little farther tonight then.
waiting for 1080ti
I going to replace my sli gtx 770 by a gtx 1070, pic related
>>55604314
>>55604394
>>55604467
ASIC doesn't have as much to with maximum potential OC as it does with voltage. I used to have an r9 290X xfire setup. One of the cards had a much lower ASIC than the other. (60% compared to 81%). I benched them separately before tossing them in together. The card with low ASIC was able to reach 1250mhz bit required 1.25v to get there. The higher ASIC one was only able to reach 1190mhz before becoming unstable. Even with much higher voltage added.
Yet the higher ASIC card was capable of doing 1080mhz at a tiny 0.86v where as the low ASIC card still needed 1.15v to do the same speed.
>TL;DR
ASIC effects under clocking more so than overclocking.

980 TI here.
There's no point in me upgrading again until the next generation or two.
When the 1100 series comes out I might contemplate getting the 1180
>>55604757
And I'm sick of the giant circle jerks that go on in the home screen/desktop/thinkpad/private tracker threads. Yet I don't take the time to post bullshit in said threads.if anything be thankful. If a dedicated gpu thread is established, it'll trim down on how many threads are created about them. Then, you can filter the entire thread.
MSI 390 here
Pretty happy. Runs most shit maxed out or close to it at 1080. Probably gonna wait til the next gen drops then upgrade
AMD Radeon HD7750, not the top dog card that runs solely on a PCIe slot anymore, but I like it.
>>55603317
I had no other choice, my 975 was bluescreening every couple days at base clocks and overvolted.
I'm really happy about the news for Zen though.
390 here. 1100 on the core with stock voltage. waiting for 490

So I bought an msi 1070.
I'm getting pic related in Heaven at stock clock, but playing Ark I get ~40 at max settings, Warhammer Total War I get ~55 in full stack battles, and ArmA3 sits at 40. This is in 1080p. Not sure why it says it's 4gb, I doublechecked nvidia control panel, and it says proper 8gb there.
It's not throttling, highest I've seen it is 67, and it doesn't start fans until 60 (probably should edit that curve).
>>55607234
>Tfw a 1070 minimum fps on valley extreme hd is higher than my average fps.
If they were launched 7 weeks ago, why is it still impossible to find a fucking 1080?
>>55607296
in spite of what nvidia wants to claim, it's all down to bad production.
>tfw bought jew660 in 2012

>>55608018
I messed around a bit more, this is at +135 clock and +600 mem, 3 benchmarks to ensure stability. Temps never broke 59, and I didn't have to increase voltage at all.
>>55604511
Just gonna get the EVGA 1080 FTW
just got a 1070, it's the msi seahawk one
+180 core +500 mem and it stays sub 50c while being completely silent
pretty gud, probably can crank some more juice out of it
The founders edition shenanigans are confusing me. So if they are charging a premium for the reference card, why do the aftermarket cards cost a good $200 to $300 more expensive then the recommended retail price?
>>55609964
Because the AIB partners think their custom cards are better than the founders (reference) cards, so they want the prices to reflect that
Nvidia fucked up the established pricing system something good, and pretty much universally jacked up the prices for all their gpus.
A 970 cost between $320-$350 at launch, and the 1070 is going for $430-$450
A 760 or 960 at launch cost about $250, and I doubt we'll see a 1060 below $300, for a fucking *60 series card. That's ridiculous
And a 780 and 980 cost between around $500 at launch, and 1080s are going for upwards of $700, which is what *80ti cards used to go for.
I won't be surprised if the 1080ti is around $1000 at this point. Nvidia is going insane with prices and AMD needs to put pressure on them at the high end for much cheaper
>>55605480
why not save a bit and at least get a FX-8350

>>55609964
>>55610200
tl;dr amd's floundering has given nvidia even more room to go full kike
the founder's edition bullshit is crazy, but they get away with it because of marketing and because amd is like a handless, footless goalie in the gpu industry currently
>>55610200
>A 970 cost between $320-$350 at launch
There were no $320 970s at release. The MSRP was $330, and finding cards at that price point was difficult as well.
>1070 is going for $430-$450
You can get one for $400.
>I doubt we'll see a 1060 below $300
One store already had Zotac 1060s up for preorder, for $260 for the cheaper one. You're pretty dumb if you think there aren't going to be any cards below the MSRP of founder's edition, when you could get them for cheaper than that with both 1070 and 1080.
>And a 780 and 980 cost between around $500 at launch
780 went for $650. 980 for $550.
Seriously, get your facts straight.
