This. And it comes from nvidiafag, there's simply nor reason to buy 970 when 390 is around some of which are even on par with 980
>>323441417
Not that guy but you got a i7 when there is little benefit for gaming from i5 then threw money at nothing on a "gaming" motherboard and proceeded to gimp yourself with a GTX970 when the money could have been better spent on 980/980 ti instead.
No one is jelly, you're just uninformed.
If you aren't planning on changing your GPU for Pascal next year and that's the reason you went cheaper with 970 then you dun goofed.
>>323442221

>>323442221
Actually there's a benefit in skylake i7 in some of the recent games, it's just not worth the additional money when OCd skylake i5 can perform almost identically

A shitty overpriced, ugly looking case I might say.
Im thinking about tacking all the components under my table but Im not sure if this is a good idea.
>>323442396
No one is getting btfo. It will still work for games as intended. It just isn't optimal for what he could have done and will require upgrading early on.
He could still get some use out of that i7 if he uses it for other non gaming CPU intensive purposes but I highly doubt it since he then went ahead and got a gaming mobo. That shit is just a waste of money especially if he won't exploit its features. If I could spend any amount I wanted I would get a "gaming" motherboard just for shit and giggles but not if it meant having to get a weaker GPU.
>>323441417
I have a GTX 980, and an i7 4770k, so no.
The 970 is a shit card, should've got a 390, or downgraded to an i5 and got a 980.

Should've got a better cooler.
The 212 was god-tier for the price when they didn't fuck up the TIS - now you just get a shite overclock.
>>323444263
What, you think he should've gotten one of those fucking stupid $100+ CPU coolers that barely does the job better than the 212? That's one of the worst memes in high-end PC's these days.
>>323444426
It actually does, see;
>>323444345
Since Haswell, they've fucked up cooling/overclocking big time - for example a D15 blows the 212 away now, whereas the D14 used to be not that much better during Ivy/Sandy.
Maybe they did a deal with the cooling manufacturers, who knows.

>>323445598

Mistype - I meant TIM - which means Thermal Interface Material.
Basically since Ivy Bridge, Intel have been putting shitty thermal materials in their CPUs (which can be fixed, but wouldn't recommend it for newcomers) - this leads to shitty overclocking and thermals so you need better coolers to cool them.

Ofcourse but that doesn't mean it's not a a waste of your money.
>>323446272
Have you used one?
Not that guy, but I bought 2 before the 3.5 jewery came to light.
That being said, I haven't run into many situations where it's a problem.
Could be that I go for 144 frames at 1080/1440p instead of 4K res though.
>>323446261
Is this an issue during regular functioning or just for overclocking?
>>323446426
For far less effort, and a better end product.

>SPEED UP YOUR LAN

>>323446429
Dude. Anything with the name "gaming" on it is overpriced. "gaming" just a marketing term to get suckers to buy their mobo.
970 is just another overpriced "gaming" mobo.
>>323446272
Somewhat decent VRM and good onboard audio, and its only 90$.
>>323446450
Just overclocking and full load possibly.
Also just type Ivy bridge (or any other arch.) and TIM into google if you want more details.
And don't get me wrong - the 212 has, and still is an excellent cooler - but if you're buying a fucking unlocked i7 you want a top overclock surely.
>>323446547

>>323440917
>high-end CPU
>mid-tier GPU with VRAM fault
Crom laughs at you, and throws you from his mountain.
>>323446535
Any modern game that's GPU intensive. AAA games, mostly. GTAV and Max Payne 3 are cool because they actually have a meter that shows how much VRAM you will need as you tweak the settings. Think Witcher 3 does this as well.
>>323446584
Oh, we're talking motherboards. Sorry, I thought the topic was 970 GPUs.
Why would they call the mobo a 970? I have a pic related, and it's fine.
>>323446547
>>323446712
actually makes perfect sense
i got i7 2600k and 560ti in 2011
i7 is best hardware purchase i've ever done, changed 3 cards since
>>323446727
The only games I've had issues with on my 970s is Shadow of Mordor and Far Cry 4.
Mordor was with the insane high res textures and FC4 was because it's Ubishit.
>>323446584
The 970 gaming has acceptable VRM (enough for overclocking on single tower air) and pretty good onboard audio. 90$ is a fair price.
>>323446727
None of them exceed even 3GB on maximum texture resolution
Not even Shadows of Mordor
>>323446835
The chipset is called 970. Thats why
I ordered a used z87 and i5 4670k for 240 total. Assuming it doesn't come DOA, did I do good?
>>323446960
Depends on your resolution too. I couldn't play Shadow of Mordor at 1440p with the highest textures even with 970s in SLI
Well, I guess I could play it, but I want 144 frames per second in my vidya, so it felt slow when I couldn't hit that mark.
>>323446294
my G650 seasonic shit the bed 3 months after I purchased it and had to go for RMA.
PC wouldn't turn on after you shut it down unless you wait for a few hours or fuck around with the power button and PSU switch until your get the right timing.
Funnily enough my shitty ass bronze coolermaster PSU has a better power switch at the back. If you slowly try push the switch it quickly snaps to the other side.
Meanwhile with seasonic it doesn't immediately snap and reaches half way unless you press it with enough force for it to snap into the other position.
Should've gotten an evga 600W for half the price.
>>323446887
That's precious, you little shit. However nobody cares about your anecdotes.
>>323446835
The 970 class has been around longer than the GTX 970's iirc.
They're for AMD CPUs.
>>323446535
It takes a special situation to make your card go over 3.5gb of vram.
The pic in >>323444835 is one of those situations. The player purposely sat on a very high position in assassins's creed unity and just looked down at the npcs. The card is then forced to keep rendering wandering npcs to fill the screen until it goes over 3.5gb of ram, and then it craps itself.
Normally, Assassins Creed Unity would never have to go over 3.5gb of ram, but it can happen. And that was done all in 1080p.

You could also save some money and get a FX 8350 and overclock it. Barely any difference to i5 or i7 in nearly all games.
he's gonna be loving that i7 when he logs on and realizes there are no games to play.
that's why you see AMD builds. people are paying for what they'll actually use.
what is the 970 down to, 250$ now? is it a piece of crap or what? it's a mid-range card.

>>323448271
>right before
Pascal is 6-8 months away and the new CPU's are worse.
>>323448276
I only recommend the 9590 because it is around 2-10% slower than most i7's but in real world not slower at all.
But only $230. You could save the $50 and get the 8350.
Most people recommend i5/i7 that are $300+ with no improvement for anything any gamer would do.

This config goes for about 1200 euros where I lived. A friend of mine just happened to buy wholesale hardware so I got it from him paying the prices he paid hence the price.
Every 970 that Nvidia sells now makes them a happy happy jew when they drop the Pascal next year without having to reduce the price of their current cards yet. Plus they get to fuck over the current gen of cards when they release pascal.
>>323449872
usually overpriced on mediocre items. My personal grip is that I just don't like the green/black color combo. Some of their products are decent like the mouses they have.

If you can't emulate a game on an i5, you won't be able to on an i7 either.
That being said, I can emulate Wii games in fucking 4K with my 4690.

not him but to be fair I got an msi 560ti with a shitty rear fan that they didn't let me rma. The fan got to the point where it wobbled so bad it would partially unseat the card. I could still play games with it like that but with horrible artifacting and polygon stretching unless I opened up my case to seat it again.

They're the same price as all the other goofy Ti editions out there. But it does have a pretty high stock clock, and can OC decently enough.
Though there's even faster cards out there.
