>40 FPS in Bam Ham Knight with Low Settings
>40 FPS in AC: Syndicate with Low Settings
Is this thing obsolete already? I don't think that I have the cash to keep spending $300 every year on a new video card.
What's the rest of your machine like?
Also, both of those games are terribly optimized.
>>317750071
>>40 FPS in AC: Syndicate with Low Settings
Wow really?
I get like 40-60 on high settings (environment on very high) on a comparable GPU.
You must have a pretty mediocre CPU.
>>317750521
I stand corrected.
Not sure how your performance is so bad, that's a pretty good build.
>buying Nvidia
kek
>>317750071
Quit playing badly optimized games.
why didn't you sell it and get a 970? that's what i did 6 months ago. even a 960 with the latest nvidia drivers beat the 770.
>>317750605
Probably exaggerating a bit here but it depends on where the camera is pointed I guess.
Although I do get framerate drops during the cinematics, which desyncs the audio from the visuals.
>>317751524
3.5 tho.
Although seeing Arkham Knight with framerate drops on a 980 Ti didn't help either.
>>317751524

The mid-high end 600 series cards still perform admirably and outperform consoles.
>>317752260
Sure they do kid.
>>317752621
>Being retarded
Shit, the 680 usually performs twice as well as consoles in most games, if not more.
>>317750071
Are you serious?
You can't spend $300 a year on yourself?
I'm not talking about spending it on a graphics card. I'm shocked you can't save up that amount in over 300 days. That's less than $1 a day.
>>317752764
>doesn't even show what settings

>>317751927

0/10, you tried.
>>317751892
the 3.5 thing is blown out of proportion by amdfags and people thinking they could buy a $300 gpu and play 4k games at 60 fps.
i can play fallout 4 1440p and get 60+ fps almost all the time on high settings. even in diamond city.
970 can oc like a beast.
>>317753646
Come back when you have a site that shows the settings retard. We all know GTA 5 doesn't have settings presets.
>>317751927
AMD can't cripple their cards the way nvidia does; they need to keep the few costumers they have left happy.
Nvidia on the other hand will always do this and idiots will continue to buy their crap.
I bought a custom OCed r9 290 for 200 bucks last month, shit performs on par of a freaking 980 (Go read benchmarks if you don't believe me). IT PERFORMS LIKE A CARD MORE THAN TWICE ITS PRICE.
But you idiots will continue to buy 400+ dollars cards, 200+ dollars processors, expensive ram, when you can have a 4k 60fps machine for less than a grand.
>>317753929
2/10, you're getting there.
Try a little bit harder.
>>317753929

>>317750071
Your PC is telling you to stop playing shitty games and get some standards.
>>317752764
>>317753039
You can purchase a 260x for $100 that's stronger than a PS4.
>>317750071
Nvidia has been gimping their keplar cards with their new drivers
>>317753949
Why does every benchmark that I see have Nvidia cards outperforming AMD cards then?
>>317754305
>Why does every benchmark that I see have Nvidia cards outperforming AMD cards then?
Maybe you're blind?
Nvidia in the sub-$300 market provides basically no competition unless you're a super poorfag and need something like a 750 Ti.
>>317754305
Because there's obviously collusion with nVidia to create benchmarks that specifically favor their cards over AMD cards.
>kepler
nvidia gimped them to force other nvidia-only users to upgrade. they'll probably do the same with maxwell when pascal comes out.
>all those 980tifags
>>317754430
This image is a good example though.
The R9 390 performs just under the GTX 970, however I can buy a 970 for less than a 390.
Why would I bother with AMD?
>>317754650
>I can buy a 970 for less than a 390
390 is cheaper unless theres deals or sales
>>317754553
The funny thing is, people will think you're trolling, but you're exactly correct.
Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 (both Gameworks games) used 64x tesselation on hair and light shafts, meaning only newer maxwell cards could withstand it without huge fps drops. There is no option to reduce tesselation amount, only quality. People have been asking Nvidia to allow setting max tesselation amounts for years, something that AMD allows.
>>317751927
>>317753164
The 280x even somehow performs on par with the 780 in some games.
Same with the 7970 GHz.
It's literally punching an entire generation above it's class.
>>317754879
FO4 isn't a gameworks game retard
>>317754838
you can get a 970 for $290. a refurb straigh from evga with a 1year warranty for $250.

welcome to pc gaming
this year had a suddenly high attrition rate with nvidia cards with respect to the videogames released. I think nvidia dropped the ball with driver updates. before 2015, my games ran pretty strong. I tried playing Mortal kombat X with a gtx 570 and it pooped the floor. I had to get a new card
now I have a 970
>>317756053
>16,000GB
Jesus fuck
I would buy AMD but...
I just can't. Nvidia has a strangle hold on the industry with Gameworks, and I'm not going to invest $200+ on a card that gets gimped.
Also, my old games don't like AMD.
Mods don't like AMD.
AMD doesn't have adaptive v-sync.
>>317756053
and the upgrade will certainly be cheaper than your build.
>>317756226

Can't complain. It feels so fucking good playing games in 1440p 144fps.
>>317756068
Yea, if he was on consoles he'd get that silky smooth cinematic 20 FPS.
>>317756404
AMD is the black people of GPUs
Look, yes they have been oppressed by the evil white man/Nvidia. They are systematically disadvantaged and fighting an uphill battle.
But if they didn't want to be in this position, they should have gotten their first.
>>317756703
You don't need a special monitor to use adaptive v-sync.
>>317756574
Oh God how do you play games like this at 20 fps, I'd be dying.
>>317755812
i've been using a refurb asus 970 for 8 months. it's been oced to hell and back and nothing has happened.
what the fuck is wrong with refurbished gpus faggot?
>>317756226
AMD doesn't have shadowplay either, and something I'm very fond of, being able to force HBAO+ in almost any game.
>>317756985

>that implies blacks are actually better than whites since amd cards perform better at lower prices
That depends entirely on the game, they may have bigger dicks but some games don't like nigger dicks.
>>317757465
Actually, the vast majority of the time, in the sub-$300 market, AMD outperforms equivalent Nvidia cards.

>>317757650
That sounds accurate, most girls aren't racist and want big dicks. AMDfags are the nigger loving whores of vidya.
>it's 2015 and he still buys AAA games
Bamham was optimized for shit because WB didn't give a shit so they hired a group of incompetent retard shit devs
Asscreed keeps getting worse both technically and writing-wise every year, who buys that shovelware shit? Also Ubisoft is bribed to push Console Parity meaning they purposefully sabotage their PC games in the cases where simple dev ineptitude wasn't enough to hamstring it
wait until that shit is on $5 Steam Sale. Even then, meeeh, asscreed is shit and Bamham Knight was apparently by far the weakest entry into the game series and relied entirely on the Batmobile gimmick--the gimmick which crashed framerate into a sub-10 slideshow
>>317758043
Yeah I agree, that's why I buy AMD.
>>317755812
My last three video cards have all been used cards that I bought off of Ebay,
They all worked pretty decently, except for the first MSI card that I bought, which i promptly sent off to MSI for a replacement.
Really, I think that there is no reason to purchase a brand new video card when they already have such great warranties.
>>317757897
Not him, but aren't factory refurbished cards fully tested and are mostly in like-new condition with some minor cosmetic or packaging damage? I bought a refurb card myself but I had no clue it could be straight-up used, that's shitty as fuck. For some reason I thought they were like-new (I know Amazon's refurbs state like-new but I bought from marketplace seller.)
>>317758043
Agree, that's why I buy nvidia.

>>317758519

>>317758570
They were in SLI mode but I never saw any performance increases.
Then I got a new build and decided to only stick with one video card from now on.
>>317754942

Made a proper decision for once.
>>317758660
Sounds like you lucked out, most refurbs don't last more than a few years.
>>317756676
and? you always buy components when they're on sale dipshit
a 660 could probably play most modern games with high or some settings on ultra
drop shadows to medium and AA to a lower setting or something, they're always the biggest performance hitter anyways next to AA at least, textures/>>shadows/AA
>>317758665
>there will never be a card like the 7970/290/X again
>AMD is going out of business and Nvidia keeps cúcking their customers with crippled drivers every fucking year, forcing you to upgrade
>>317755565
Have they made performance improving patches?
When I was playing GTAV on release my 980 could not even hold stable 60 at 1080
>>317759306
GTA V can't be maxed - it had loads of AA options that murder performance and the advanced settings kill cards.
>>317759306
thats on you. but as a whole GTA runs worse after all the patches.
Bad optimization seems to be making a lot of video cards obsolete very quickly.
BamHam Knight and pretty much every Ass Creed past 3 are well known as massive failures in optimization.
>>317759421
And they say the 980ti is too much for 1080p
>>317758938
I have a 660 and I have to set everything on low on new games to get 60 fps
>>317759557

>>317759439
>>317759421
jesus christ fuck that game, my worst purchase since forever
I played online with friends that had it previously on consoles and never even played single player, the performance issues were that bad.
>downgrade the settings a little
fuck no, if I have the hardware and I still can't play the game comfortably I'm just not gonna play it.
>>317759557
AC4 was running really well for me.
>mfw still have a gtx 460
All I play is civ v, kek. It helps that the majority of games today are complete trash, too.
>>317759306
It runs pretty well for me nowadays.
Pic related, very high settings with 4x reflection MSAA and 1.5 frame scaling (effectively making it 4k) and high res shadows + max extra distance scaling.
Only thing missing is the maxed shadows, but I prefer softer shadows over CHS or PCSS.
Oh, and post FX is only on high.
I'm running a280x.
>>317759564
im using a gtx 460 cause my 290 broke and I can run medium setting on GTA V and other modern games and get 55fps on 1080p
is your cpu shit or something?
>>317759652
I tried gtav on ps3 and it was near unplayable
>>317759562
Realistically it is - GTA V is the new crysis.
>>317759652
Those advanced settings aren't really meant to be used unless you have two (or more) cards. They can very easily halve your fps by rendering the gameworld for staggering distances around you.
>>317756574
>i actually considered just sticking with the one instead of upgrading to a pc for fallout
Holy fuck, that would have been horrible.
>>317755812

No, not really.
In quite a few ways I'd even argue that GTA V looks worse than Crysis.
>>317759816
>GTA V is the new crysis
But Crysis actually looks good.
>>317759667
i had had a 460 until it died. that little sumbitch was a champ.
palit were pretty good, no idea how I got a card that's apparently from the european market off newegg when I bought it back then though.
>>317759898
Yes at release, ran quite fine on my 460 at 900p
Not maxed out but acceptable
>>317759562
It is if you're not a retard who uses ridiculous types of AA, HBAO, tessellation or whatever other ridiculous framedropping shit NVIDIA can provide (hairworks)
>>317759951
>>317759984
I disagree overall - GTA V has a lot of high res textures for objects most developers don't bother with (like all the shit lying on paths and roads) combined with enormous draw distances makes for a genuinely taxing game.
The game looks a lot better than most.
>>317760106

>>317760106
Remember, if SSAA exists it must be turned on! While pic is at an insane resolution if I turn SSAA off my fps doubles.
(I was using this benchmark as a stress test)
>>317759421
>>317759562
just turn off the extended distance scaling and use 2x MSAA and you can max it out out on a 390 @ 2560x1440 with 2x MSAA
I know this is retarded for a lot of reasons, but I'mthinking of buying a new gaming laptopto replace my old one.

I don't, but the price is acceptable. I'd rather pay 300 for lesser graphics than 1500 for above average. The graphical increases of a gaming PC compared to a console do not justify the MASSIVE CHASM of a price difference the two have.

So literally no reason and just stick to console? Figured as much. I swear gaming PC's weren't this expensive 5 years ago.
>>317761570
Well if constant 20 fps doesn't bother you then yes, no reasons
Me I cant stand that shit

290X owner here
coming from being a former 980 owner
managed to sell the 980 before priced dropped
i game in 2560x1600 and the 290X kills the 980
i run all games with ultra settings too. i cant imagine the 980ti being much better
i only payed 210$ for my 290X back in 2014.. i got an amazing deal
it still holds up.
the 980ti is only slightly faster but costs stupid ammounts of cash
never buying nvidia again
>>317760946
Upgrade to 1200p man, its worth it
>>317761570
m8, I paid ~$800 for my PC and I can pull off pic related on very high settings.
Will a sub-par CPU hinder me that much? I have a Phenon II X4 830 and a Radeon HD 6850, was thinking of upgrading the GPU to something like a 970.
I recently got an EVGA 980 ti SC+ with the Backplate as an upgrade from a Radeon 7970. Runs everything I throw at it like a dream, but at times if I have a game minimized I hear this weird little scraping sound sometimes from it; never lasts for more than a half of a second but it's noticeable if I'm not wearing headphones.
Should I be concerned? Could this be remedied by changing fan settings? I've tried using Google but nothing I've looked at is similar to what's happening to me.
>>317761315
You will pay much more down the line because of the paid online. And you wont be able to use controllers from past generations either because they get blocked out.
PS4 and Xbox One are retarded hidden cost systems.
>>317761230
There is no way that that game is even close to maxed out.

I don't believe that AMD can do better when every single benchmark says otherwise.
>>317761708
you will completely bottleneck the card
whatever you do, dont buy an amd cpu, they are fucking garbage
an i3 & gtx 960 its fine desu, you will get fine fps on medium-high on most AAA games at 1080p
>>317761754
Everything on high at the time, though I could only enable the enhanced rain crap for Jewworks.
Unfortunately, the game itself is boring as hell and much worse than AC.
>>317761315
You don't need a good gpu to play at 1080p 60fps at better quality than consoles
>>317761285

>>317761679
Post build. I tried putting something together and it was 900 and the GPU wasn't even amazing, it was a 210 or so dollar card, not the dual SLI Titans /v/ tends to recommend.
>>317761809
>amd cpu
its not a rig its a workstation, im sure your emails load quite fast though
A machine to max out CRYSIS would've been a fucking supercomputer back when it came out.
Mostly it's that developers are becoming lazier and/or shittier. They rely on hardware getting stronger and stronger as a crutch to cover for the fact they know less and less how to actually make video game.
But that makes sense. Video game dev is a SHIT job and if you have superior skills you use them in an different programming area where you don't get treated like shit by your corporate publisher overlord and you probably get paid about 3x more. Autistic computer whizzes like Carmack don't go into vidya anymore.
>>317761624
Imagine if you bought a 780/780ti just before maxwell dropped - you'd be salty as fuck.

You don't need some $600 GPU to heavily outperform consoles anon.
>>317761614
Constant fps is fine. It's jittery that's bad. I don't give a fuck if it runs at 20 fps as long as it's constant. It's going for 60 to 40 then 50 then 30 then 20 then 60 over 2 minutes that is a problem.
>>317761731
We already crunched this in an earlier thread. You'd need to be buying PS+/Live for more years than ANY console has ever been around to fill in the pricegap to equal a gaming PC
PS+ for 8 years+console WITH game=700
>>317761945
Does that look idle to you? Hint: the little green bar next to the cpu gives it away.
>>317761850
well fuk. I have no real desire to build a computer myself, though. I guess I should look at some pre-builts.
>>317752621
Got a 660 and I'm able to get just about every game to run at 1080p, 60 fps vsync.

constant 20 fps is not fine, nobody holds that opinion.
>>317762026
/r/master race literally has guides for cheap PCs that BTFO consoles and cosr less than a ps4
Fuck off
>>317762119
The very game in your pic won't net you 60fps on a 660.
>>317752621
I don't know, my 660ti can do 1080 60fps no problem
>>317762026
>700$
Where did that number come from? Because a PS4 definitely doesnt have 700$ hardware inside.
>>317762262
I highly doubt you can build a PC that outperforms a PS4 for 300 bucks.

Is this the spec thread?
My 4.5 year old GTX 570 died last month, got a good deal on this 970 and am fucking thrilled with it.
>>317761640
Then I'd need a new monitor, a new GPU, probably a new power supply, anda new desk.

Consoles look worse than a PC on the lowest settings anyways.

Let's hope it was a REALLY good deal.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
>>317762303
It absolutely does. Your shitty graph just shows what resolution it's played at and doesn't say anything about the settings or other specs of the computer.
Pic related, another game that runs at 60fps on my 660.
>>317761285
Calm your autism, fuckhead. You don't have to assault us with your insecurity.
>>317762507
The gtx750 is still a very competent card, you'll be able to max out most pre-2011 games. If you tweak a few settings you'll still be able to play new releases at 1080p/60fps, just without antialiasing and with lower shadows.
>>317762346
Literally check the sidebar.
>>317762374
I said to check out the guides, not browse it.
>>317762642
>runs corridor game on low settings
>guise my shitty old card is so good it runs at 60fps xD
kill yourself
>>317762513
I don't think it runs either at 1080p or constant 60 frames per second on consoles. At least it doesn't on the PS4.
>calling other people retards
>>317762809
Actually, Alien Isolation's pretty well optimized on PC, he's probably maxing it.
>>317762387
new CPU isn't going to improve your FPS. Get a new GPU first.
FX-6300 is pretty good if you overclock it. Definitely wrecks any i3 Intel is selling for $90.
I'm thinking maybe i should upgrade to an intel cpu, motherboard and get new ram
any suggestions?

The source.
However I will believe ayy lmaosolation runs at 60fps on a 660.
>>317762809
Sounds like you're jealous and very butthurt.
>>317762513
It's 900p on PS4 and 720p on XB1.
>>317750071
>low fps in two of the biggest mistakes ever made
>>317762925
been getting sub 60fps on a few older games at lowest settings. don't know what else it could be. thoughts?
>>317761805
You pay the extra cash so you don't have to be part of the community that exists for every other game release that has to cry for two months before their card finally gets whatever weird updated that's needed to run it.
Seriously though, the forums of every other game that comes out seem to have a constant front page thread about how the game won't run with AMD.
>>317762960
You don't have to believe me. Battlefront 3 runs at 60fps everywhere except some indoor areas occasionally in which it dips down to 50. Doesn't make much sense.
>>317750071
>not having a spare $300 every year
what are you, middle class? Find a new hobby, chap.
>>317763051
Don't worry, Nvidia had an entire OS not work with their drivers (release win10 drivers were enormously unstable).

Everything is fine.
So here's what I got.
I'm looking for an upgrade and can't decide between a gtx 970 or an amd r9 390, just trying to get the best bang for my buck. Also should I upgrade to the fx 8350 sometime after?
>>317760556
>>317761147
Saw some youtube vids earlier and it runs Metro and Tomb Raider 2013 at 60fps maxed out.
A friend of mine has the older model, with the 870m, and Dying Light's demo ran like dogshit on it.
Couldn't test anything else since I don't own games my computer can't handle, obviously.
>>317760648
I love the Lenovo y50's aesthetics. There's a LOT of people at uni who have it, surprisingly, so I might borrow somebody's for a bit to see how things run.
However, I also hear the 970m is a lot more efficient than the 870m, and I'm not sure how important that difference will be down the line.
Sager looks nice, but a bit hefty. I have an Asus G46 now, the thickness and weight makes it annoying to lug around. The msi is around 4 pounds and is super thin, which blows my mind, and will probably be a deciding factor.
(Thanks for the suggestions senpaidesu)
I'm not replacing my GTX 670 until a new series comes out or it fucking dies
nope
I'll turn everything to low before I do that, I'm going to get my 4 years out of this card

No idea what you are doing.

That motherboard is beyond shit tier and i'm surprised it will even handle an 8320 at stock.
