Games are being exclusively developed for GTX 970/980.
Exclusively to use 3.5gb of vram. The Way Its Meant To Be Played™
How do I upgrade my graphics card? I have a Wii U.
Glad I have my meme card then.
>they fell for the AMD not being shit meme
>>315621371
Vague. Can someone explain?
>just got a 970 but im only playing old or indie games
What are some games to see the power of this thing?
>games being exclusively developed to only utilize 3.5GB of vram

Guess I'll have to pre-order it then thanks!
anyone else playing black ops 3 with 980ti? why am i getting fps drop but its running at max
if you cant afford at least a 400$ upgrade every year stick to console pleb

You're the reason people are ignorant about PC gaming. Kill yourself.
>>315621371
And yet they play shit even on a gtx970/980.
>>315623521
Because it's not broken and the other 512mb are being used for processing power. Get over it.
>>315623521
Idiotic fanboys and brand loyalty, that's how. They don't even have to try anymore.
>>315623521
980's too expensive to the average pleb and AMD have a bad rep.
>>315621371
>970
Nice try, retard.
Anyone who owns a 970 on purpose is a complete retard. That is all.
>>315624105
Look at this shill defending nvidia's false advertisement.
WHO 960 HERE
>>315624184
Funny how both /v/ and /g/ went crazy over it eh? Those who purchased a hawaii based gpu are left laughing.
>>315624208
Worst card in Nvidia's lineup.
>>315624245
Eat shit faggot
>>315622074
I am. Runs as beautifully as I expected. Never seen it go below 60fps but Nvidias shitty VRAM causes some micro stutter which is to be expected.
>>315624309
I don't own an Nvidia card so that particular task is quite challenging.
>>315624245
Viral marketing is a hell of a drug and Nvidia are notoriously persistent dealers.
How good is the 290x really?
You can find them for cheap now.
>>315624197
>False advertisement
>4GB of memory that's all being used for you to play video games.

>But-but the big book of advertising law explicitly states that memory size must be used for textures only
>>315621894
>eat fresh
>>315624516
They are very good at marketing and most of /v/ and /g/ are consumer whores, so better marketing = better product and facts be damned.
>>315624645
You have no idea what you are talking about.
>>315624556
I personally own a 980ti but the 290x is my favorite card ever produced. Those things are magical. Not sure if they've been supplanted by their 300 series clones though.
>>315624374
Leave it to an amdkuk to know what's shit and what's not.
>>315624556
Roughly on par with a 980 these days.
>>315624762
Most 290x's were built to take extreme punishment and keep going.
>>315624773
>Leave it to an amdkuk to know what's shit and what's not.
It is a hard life knowing what to reject because its shit instead of gobblnig it down. Such is my lot.
I bought a 960 for 150eurodollar when my 660ti died.
It seemed like a good deal.
Of what i played, only the newest bamham ran like shit.
It should be running every game fine at 1080/60.
I don't mind fiddling in the settings, i only really care about texture and aa, everything else can go to be quite honest family.

>>315624881
>"overclocking doesn't count!"
lol
>>315625173
You don't want to bring in hawaii overclocking on the 300 models - they havem osnter coolers that can - and will - take the chip to 1200mhz core which makes them quite a bit faster than nearly every 970 you can buy.
>Wait for price drop
>Australian dollar drops instead 40%
>Asshole Government brings in 15% GST on imported goods.
>Over $1200USD now for a Fury.
>>315625343
>1200mhz
Nigga, my 970 is at 1239mhz core and 1915mhz mem stale on air, never goes beyond 60c.
People with water cooling have gotten 1400/1500mhz core stable
>>315625654
AHAHAH oh wow - you think mhz is the same across different architectures? Oh man /v/ you are cute when you act stupid.
Protip: maxwell doesn't scale linearly with clockspeed whereas GCN is pretty close to linear. On a pure clock-for-clock perspective kepler and hawaii are better overclockers than maxwell.
>>315625343
>>315625654
lol the 980 boosts up to 1400 without even touching it
all benchmarks you see are of stock cards which make them close to useless.
>>315621371
This is what Nvidia wants keks to believe.
>>315625883
>all reviews should run the luck of silicon lottery
lol
>>315621718
Snap it in half, insert banana.
>>315626000
your implication, not mine, it's called putting words in people's mouth
i should correct myself, not all benchmarks run stock.
>>315621371
Is that why games are playing like shit?
>Batman Arkham Knight
>Lords of the Fallen
>Call of Duty Black Ops III
>ARK
>Ass Creed Unity
It seems like every Nvidia sponsored game is an unoptimized mess these days. They still didn't even fix the DX 11 crashing issues with the GTX 970 on Heavensward already despite being a Gameworks optimized game
>>315625863
You misunderstood what you were told about amd cards. They overclocked so well because they took the 290's and rebranded them as 3xx
It's not that they have higher O.C. potential as a 3xx card, it's that they realized the maximum out of the box.
Either way I personally think the 390>970, I was just pointing out 1200mhz core clock is not impressive in the least.
>>315626000
>that MSI 980
WHAT
>>315626131
>i should correct myself, not all benchmarks run stock
That is a fairer statement.
>>315626259
No, you don't understand. Core clockspeed is a useless metric comparing cards that aren't from the same architecture. 1200mhz on a maxwell card is meaningless, 1200mhz on hawaii or something like a 780ti is an enormous performance boost.
You really need to understand that clockspeed in relation to overclocking doesn't matter - its the performance gain you get.
>>315626398
Side note: see memory clockson maxwell compared to hawaii.
A good 970 could have 8ghz memory but it will still have less bandwidth (by a huge margin) than a 390x running its memory at stock. Speed isn't everyhting in isolation.
>>315621371
>Shitty AAA games are being exclusively developed for GTX 970/980
fixed that for you
>>315626647
That large bandwidth is currently detrimental and won't be a benefit until the 390x is deprecated
why is that an advantage?
>>315627006
The high bandwidth is a factor in why GCN 1.1/1.2 generally scale very well with resolution. An overclocked 390x can drive a 4k screen in the 40-50fps range for msot games at high settings (ultra tends to be a step too far) which is perfect for a freesync screen. Dropping a few settings to gain back fps is a sensible move.
Oh I forgot this is /v/ where SSAA must be turned on no matter what and every slider needs to be as far to the right as possible.
>>315621371
Only shitgames from shit developers moneyhatted by Nvidia like Konami, Ubisoft and WB.
Ironically even those games still run like shit with both, AMD and Nvidia, just slightly less shit with Nvidia.
Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, Batman, Project Cars, they all run like shit or are unplayable.
On the other hand Alien, Just Cause, Bethesda games and Dice games like Battlefront that are all supported by AMD run fucking perfectly... with both GPUs.
If you buy Nvidia, you literally help killing our hobby.
>GTX670 more FPS in MGS than R9 290 despite R9 290 being twice as powerful
>dat blatant moneyhatting
I'll put a bullet through my monitor to kill my computer like they do in 'hacker' episodes of CSI before I ever buy anything from fucking vidya. It's bad enough I have to buy intel for my CPU since they're the only game in town, NVIDIA actually has worthwhile competition that aren't fucking Hitler.

>If you buy Nvidia, you literally help killing our hobby.
Happy to help! :^)
>>315626235
That's just plain old developer incompetence.
>>315628123
Note how most of them are partnered with Nvidia. Remember the DX12 Ark patch? Fun times.
So should I get 390 or 970?leaning towards 390
>>315628043
Good job, fellow Bong.
I was thinking of switching CPU at the end of the year. Should I change graphics card as well? I have a 290x and was looking at either a 980 or 980ti.
>>315625343
> Tesselation: very high
Useless as fuck. Only reason they crank this shit up very high is to fuck up amd benchmark tests.
>>315628043
>buying a card that will be out dated in less than a year
>implying waitfags
i hope you can deal with your obsolete card when pascal comes. maxwell is old tech and the increase in performance from the 780 to 980 was negligible and not worth the upgrade. nvidia always does this though. they milk retards all the time.
>>315628468
390, no competition
>>315628713
>when pascal comes
I'll have to upgrade my mobo to Nvidia's proprietary pci-e replacement then, so I'm good for now
>>315628534
That was the point of that specific screencap - I was using it as a temperature stress test so I wanted to torture the card.
>>315628836
NVlink isn't for consumers.
>>315628468
I have a 970, and my screen keeps going black for 2 seconds and the sound gets muted(I connect via hdmi to a screen with built in sound). When it comes back on there is no error message or anything. It seems a ton of people have this problem and it doesn't seem to go away no matter what I do.
Anyone else had this problem?
>>315622074
I read in a steam thread that texture quality is the issue so just bump it down to high. It worked for me.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU BUY MAXWELL GPU IN 2015 WHEN PASCAL COMES OUT EARLY NEXT YEAR AND IT WILL BE 10X THE PERFORMANCE. HOLY SHIT IM JUST TRYING TO HELP OUT OTHER ANONS WITH CAPS LOCK
>>315621824
Use Gedosato to run those games in 8000x4500
>>315628902
>NVlink isn't for consumers.
Not yet anyway.
>>315621371
I fucking wish something was out that could actually make use of my XFIRE r290's
I got a job and put away cash for a new rig.
2 years ago, and now I have fucking $5000+ to dump down on a beast of a fucking PC, but nothing is worth putting the cash down, I even brought a 4k and was considering just getting a water cooled gtx 980, but running that card is about the same as what I have now, probably a little betting since I run 4k.
But fuck it, I have to keep waiting, I brought a decent rig 2-3 years ago and I'll just hang on to it for 5 more years, since nothing else is decent.
Even the damn new fucking CPU'S are 4ghz, I have an i7 3.6ghz (4.3ghz turbo) so I can't even update this.
I even brought into the PCIE SSD, because fuck, I want to spend some money, but I'm pissed off cause there's nothing to spend my fucking money on.
Companies get your fucking shit together, if there was a $2000 GFX card out with 10 times the power of a GTX 980 i'd be fucking the first to get it.
Guess I'll keep saving, this is fucking annoying.
>>315629232
BECAUSE I CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR, I NEED A NEW PC NOW
>>315629285
It won't be for a long time as Nvidia's drivers basically stop scaling at 3 for most cards (iirc the titan range goes to 4).
>>315627527
lol this, so much this
The money ruins everything, everytime. No game developd for NVIDIA products has been good since.....fuck, maybe ever?
I have a R9 290x but I only play games at 1080p, so I under clocked it a little to around 1,000Mhz
My question is, is there any way to stop the thing getting so FUCKING HOT? It doesn't get so hot itself because the fan runs like a jet engine, but I had to take the side panel off my PC or the entire case got too hot to touch. It's just insane.
Water cooling isn't a viable option.
>>315629232
>EARLY NEXT YEAR

>>315629659
Change that paste bruh
>>315629659
Use the CCC frame limiter to your screens refresh rate and >>315629954 but if its a reference card there isn't shit you can do beyond replacing the cooler or setting a custom fan curve that spins up early.
>>315628485
Wait for the new 16nm graphics cards, just get another 290x and run xfire, I have xfire 290's and it shits on everything.
>>315623521
Bought it before the big revealing. I still can't understand why somebody doesn't sue NVIDIA for this shit, isn't it fucking illegal?
>>315621824
This guy looks like Fallout 1's Overseer.
>>315630294
No because you DO have 4gb of ram, it's just used, but they still stated you DO have it, so that's the legality of it, if they said the 4gb would be used for games then you would have something.
>>315630505
Jesus Christ. Wanna heard something funny? I bought 970 specially for Witcher 3 and it's graphics.
>>315627527
>Radeon HD 7850
>24 fps
u wot m8
I have a 7850 and I can run both GZ and MGSV on 60 FPS
>>315630903
No you can't
>>315621824
Witcher 3 dudo
>>315629052
No, but sometimes a driver update messes with windows 10's toolbar for some reason. It has stopped this latest update and seems fixed tho
>>315630703
And now your card is obsolete when the new cards come next year.
>>315630976
Before upgrading I had a msi 2gb 7850 as well, and I also could get 60fps
that benchmark is whack
>>315630976
>I can run both GZ and MGSV on 60 FPS
notice how he did not mention anything about maxing out settings.
He should be able to hit 60fps knocking down AA and dropping a few settings to medium. MGSV isn't a particularly demanding game.
>you need a 1000€ Titan X or a 300€ 290X/390/390X to max out port of a mediocre looking console game
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE WAY ITS MEANT TO BE PLAYED
I CANT BELIEVE I FELL FOR IT
I own 970 and I'm happy with it as is.
I am not particulaly interested in 1440p or 4K right now nor do I have enough money to spend on such things.
And for some reason I'm always couple of years back with games so running older games with 970 is no problem.
>>315629659
>290X
>runs hot
Not buying a reference version should help.
>>315632245
>65c
Enjoy your housefire.
2016 GPU's, won't they be expensive as fuck? If I'm not willing to pay for, for example a 980, why should I wait?
>>315621824
Witcher 3 and MGSV both look really good with a 970.
Why does every GPU thread ends up with 970 owners trying to publicly justify their purchases? Is it that bad?
So am i in the wrong if i'm going to buy a Radeon R9 380 4gb?
>>315633096
Delusion and trying to rationalize them not wasting their money.
There's a term for it but I forget atm.
>>315621569
please tell me this isnt real
not only do these graphics look like shit but games 7 years old look better than this
>>315633485
buyer's remorse
>>315633690
It is, but Ass Creed is hardly a good game to benchmark or test with.
>>315633690
The game is broken and will never be fixed.
>>315633096
As someone who's pretty tech illiterate, what's wrong with the 970, and why is it the meme card?
>have a 6900 something, don't really remember what
>apparently it's not even on the list of graphics cards for FO4
>700 goddamn dollars for a good one, plus more for a new screen, and hell maybe new speakers too
I don't think I'm going to be able to play Fallout 4 until Tax Return season.
>>315633485
But i've never experienced these 0 fps framedrops and I use a 970.

reporting
Figured I'd try a flagship GPU and team green for once.
Fell fish-line hook and sinker for the whole 980 full DX12 support fiasco before AMD's announcement that they will be supporting tier 3 whilst maxwell is stuck at tier 2 resource binding.
Almost double the price of a single 290X at the time with single digit fps difference on average. I regret not purchasing an r9 290X at the time such good price/performance ratio could've saved a good chunk of money for the next node shrink.
But price aside haven't had any severe issues to date with my 980 managed to push it up to 1400/1500 on air without even dabbling with voltage.
Their geforce experience client is alright for getting the latest drivers quickly the lazy way and accessing shadowplay, rest is just bloat, the application doesn't load up quickly, and Nvidia surround sucks absolute ass.
Upgrading to high end from an old run down turd was fun and all but sticking to mid range next time, more cost effective. Hopefully Nvidia doesn't pull another Kepler on Maxwell the moment pascal releases.
