How much?
Because the next generation of cards is going to shit on the current one, so why waste the money now.
because I bought two Titan back 2 years ago
If anything I might switch for Pascal next year
Hign end GPUs are a waste of money. I got a mid end r9 380 and it's perfectly fine. Actually outside of W3 I don't even think i've used it at all.
I'm Canadian.
I just play games at 1080p.

You're going to wait 6-7 months for the new graphics cards to come out when you can play games for max settings now?
>>320106415
But I already did. It works great with my 1440p monitor.
>>320106415
I have
>>320106837
this
my gtx 670 is fine, I can wait a few months for the next series to drop
>>320107236
I'm upgrading to a 1600p monitor soon, the current cards just barely get 60fps at that resolution in the current un-optimized games we all play, so I'm fine waiting.
I have. I play 1440p 120hz, I just buy top of the range and then sell it to buy the new top
>>320106415
I don't buy memecards.
>>320106837
The 9 series isnt that great. Ive had a 980 and 970. Because i have a 4k screen i now need a titan or 980ti at least but im going to wait and see what the next range is like and get the 1080 or whatever or the 990 if they do one.

I can still run stuff like The Witcher 3 on high settings
How much more longer do I have with this card?
>>320109272
How low are you willing to go graphics wise? A friend of mine upgraded when lowering resolution was the only option left.
>>320109602
Anything below high bugs me, I want games to look at least better than console versions
>>320108539

which companies should we avoid ?
>>320106415
because it's awfully expensive and I can't justify such a purchase.

>>320106415
just ordered a titan x
but seriously can you guys tell me if a 700 watt power supply will do? and if it can perform max at 2k 60fps.
>>320106415
390 8GB here.
No thanks, that card will be obsolete once Pascal rolled in thanks to shitty Maxwell 'architecture'.
>>320109894
>Titan X
It would only make sense to purchase Titan X when its first comes out. Titan X only meant for Nvidia enthusiastic who wants to be the first to own the latest and greatest shit at a premium price.
>>320109272
Silver fang fag?
>>320109779
Well the consoles have little bit better GPUs than 560 Ti. If I was impatient, I might buy HD7970 / 280X / 770 / 680 from craigslist. Otherwise I'd wait for the next generation and look sales for R9 390 and GTX970.
>>320109894
No you need at least 1000w PSU to power a 250W + 100W system.
I'm using a laptop.
because I already have a fury x and I dislike nvidia
>>320106415
Too good for 1440p
Too shit for 4k.
I don't see the point.
>>320106415
Can't wait until It gets Gimped™ in 2016 and you're forced to upgrade to the 1080ti.
Meanwhile I'll be riding out my never obsolete 7970 (280X).
>>320110443
thanks so a 1000w power supply
>>320110723
also im only using the gpu by itself no sli
>>320110723
Be sure to buy at least a 1500W Platinum PSU if you ever intend to overclock your system. I'd recommend the Super Flower 1600W Titanium and 2000W Platinum if you're serious about your system.
Soon, op, soon.
I can't wait.
>>320108539
???
My 670 has been just fine for years now. Is this something specific to the 980ti?
>>320110885
i dont really plan to overclock for now i just plan for ultra 2k 60 fps and the minimum says 600 watt
>>320110496
>tfw 7870 XT at 1300/1600
>>320111070
But do you really want to risk it? Consider your whole PC bricked if you cheap out now.
>>320109894
I run a 980 off a Seasonic Fanless 520w, and the Titan X uses about 75w more at peak. 600-650 should be fine.

>>320111168
fuck i think you have me convinced i'd rather not risk it especially when a 1000 watt power supply
>>320106415
I have a 7870, i'm still fine for the moment.
I guess I should upgrade my monitor to get 4k or 5k.
I have though and it's still not enough to run most severely unoptimized games at 60 fps
>>320111262
i have a 700 watt power supply so should be fine?
>>320106415
I admit that I'm tempted. Then I realize the most graphically intensive thing I'd possibly be running any time in the near future is XIII: LR, and it hardly requires a 980 Ti.
Why yould I want a 980ti when I can get a fury x which is noticeably faster?
>>320112219
>He bought into the AMD memes
>>320106415
Because i'm waiting for the 4k gaming era
>>320112457
>he keeps shitposting
>>320112457
Remember when a 780ti was flat faster than a 290x across the board? Fun times.
Remember when a 770 was competing against a 7970/280x? Fun times.
Remember when if you suggested your 7970/280x was as fast as a 780 you would be laughed off the internet? Fun times.
Remember when /v/ fell for the 970? Fun times.
Because I can run all the games that aren't unoptimized trash just fine on my 770.
>>320112776
Remember when AMD didn't have drivers? Everytime.

Sweet, you got like your one game. Doesn't change how Nvidia is pretty much still the better option across the board.

Pascal is coming, why would I get a soon-to-be obsolete card right now?
Cuz the 1070 is gonna blow it the fuck out in a few months
>>320106415
My water cooled, overclocked R9 290 still serves me well and my backlog of current gen games is huge.
>>320111447
That's why I have two
>>320106837
WTF are you babbling about, It's just a second gen stacked HBM. Did you see any major performance boost on the AMD side besides giving more room on the PCB for more memory? Did you see /g/ getting excited about this shit.
Main thing is having less driver overhead is still more important than this. HBM production process is still in a stage where it's still working on its kinks and still currently hard produce, also has an inflated price at release day. so you going have wait like 3 financial quarters to see a decent price drop.
HBM cards are going to be a monstrous improvement over current video cards. That's why I opted for a midrange card now and I'm saving for a monster in the future.
But I already have, anon.
>>320113959

>>320113329
I do like how most of the conclusions in that are "the AMD card is faster, thus you want Nvidia".
>>320110398
Is it possible to have a CPU perform the grpahics capabilitues for just the operating system and use the GPU RAM for when you're in a fully fledged 3D application?
>>320114246
>>320113947
HBM prices are still inflated, so far only less than 3 plants has certs production for this type of memory. SK Hynix, Samsung, I forgot the third one who just recently got a cert.

>>320106837
If this is your mindset every year you will never buy a gpu ever
There's no point since only 1 game would need this.
>>320115173

>>320107236
>flash games require a 980ti
Enjoy your ports, subhuman.
>>320112776
man I should've waited a little longer and went with 390X instead of 980.
I have a feeling 980 is going to get shit on the moment pascal is out like kepler, DX12 and a severe lack of async compute already does not bode well for its longevity. It is pretty good for DX11 games currently but not by a large margin.
I fell for the "full" DX12 meme (doesn't support tier 3 resource tiling) and VR direct. VR isn't even out yet but there are rumors going around that AMD can achieve significantly lower latency in VR with asyncronous compute meanwhile 980 struggles to get less than the bare minimum 20ms required to ensure there is very little chance to get motion sick, though that could have changed by now.
Could've gotten 8GB VRAM for 100$ less, handy for later when I decide to crossfire for 4k and for those poorly optimized games that might use more than 4GB with high res textures.
I'll bite the bullet and make the switch later to 14nm arctic islands a year or two down the line if liquidVR kicks gameworksVRs ass and the card turns out to be good for 4k and DX12/vulkan.
At least I didn't get kekked hard by 3.5
>>320115704
>VR isn't even out yet but there are rumors going around that AMD can achieve significantly lower latency in VR with asyncronous compute
AMD's VR tech - LiquidVR - is powered by Mantle.
>>320114246
Sort of. Some hardware supports virtualization, so you set your motherboard to pass through the GPU, install a thin Linux distro with Qemu, and install your gaming OS as a virtualized client OS.
Then desktop software you run on the host system won't interfere with the game's use of the GPU. Plus in the case of Windows since the telemetry updates this is the only sure fire way short of a second system to filter its web traffic and prevent either forced updates that break things, or prevent leakage of data.
Plus it has been demonstrated by benchmarks that this can actually be faster than running Windows directly on the hardware.
>>320112219
With no OC at 4k. Let's compare at 1440p (4k is trash because you can't go above 60 Hz) and OC.
>>320116570
>because you can't go above 60 Hz
Unless you are playing on low a single gpu isn't going to push much over 60fps at 1440p either. If you go multi-gpu systems then its AMD or bust due to sli being awful.
