This card ruined PC gaming forever
>cheap as hell
>uses up less power than a fucking alarm clock
>you can stick it into any prebuilt from after 2008 and play modern games somewhat
This is THE graphics card that opened the floodgates of shitty teenagers, third-world shitskins, bronies, etc into PC gaming communities.
>>324455567
Damn, that card is almost 40% faster than my current card and it's over 50% more energy efficient.
>>324455567
But that card came out in 2014 and PC has been full of meme spouting master race faggot long before than
>>324455567
Nah senpai, this was the one that opened the shit gates.
>>324455567
it was the gtx560ti actually
>>324455567
too bad the 970 is the most popular gpu on steam
>>324456358
This.
The 560ti/8800 are better examples
>>324456454
The 8800 was a great card for awhile.
>>324456675
The fuck are you talking about, I also had a 560ti and it was awesome in its time.
>>324456454
>had 3 of those melt in the same year
That was a bad year. Went Radeon for a long while after that. Gotta say, those cards never failed me. Back on Nvidia now and with all the random bullshit that happens with these cards. Damn shame AMD doesn't make very powerful cards. They sure are reliable.
How much power does it use exactly?
>>324456675
the 560ti was literally a flawless card
-cheap
-good performance
-compatible with everything including paper clips and string
-widely available
I never fell for the 560ti meme but I regret that every day of my life, friendo

Yea, I'm sure it was a cheap graphics card that opened the floodgates.
I think I've got a 660ti from half a decade ago.
I had no idea what Iwas buying, is it a shit card?
>>324457125
i still have a 660ti and it's a great card. still runs everything fine. also, it's only about three years old.
>>324457003
I mean, they don't make cards as versatile/powerful as nvidia cards, which is true.
>>324457125
660ti was best card for the money 3-4 years ago only got knocked out by 760 releasing
It's half as fast as a Fury at 1080p and half as fast as a fury is still pretty fast
>>324457284
Yes they don't have the worlds fastest GPU by a hair,
but its not like they are lagging behind NVidia, the big Maxwell is just a little faster
I have a 760 and don't get the whole buy the fastest GPU thing, I'm gonna get the best 250-300$ GPU next Christmas either the next X60 NVidia gpu or the X70 or X80 AMD GPU that competes with it
>>324457113
Don't try performing voodoo truth-seeing by fiddling in your shit next time.
I recommend smoking a running car's exhaust pipe.
>mfw I have a GTX 950
>>324457582
980ti is the same price as the fury x and is 14% more powerful. That's a bit more than a hair.
>>324457810
Fury X performs better in DX12, though that's not a relevant point at this current moment in time.
The two companies are actually about the same and it doesn't really matter which one you pick.
>that feel when I bought an R9 290x on sale a few months ago for around 350 Kangaroo Dollars (currently worth like 65 Americents each, fuck the exchange rate)
>that feel when the 390 series came out almost immediately after for about $200 more
I don't know if I made the right choice or not. Then again, I don't even run the thing at full blast because I was sick of the fan noise, and it still gives 60fps in anything. I'm just salty over numbers.
is the 7970 still a good card?
>There are "people" on /v/ RIGHT NOW who spent more than 500 fucking dollarinos on a graphics card
>>324458098
Yep, its called the 280X now
see>>324457582
Isn't the fastest thing in the world but it no slouch
>>324455567
an HD 7970 is good too and is very cheap.
also you can play the witcher maxed at 55 fps.
>>324458268
I did
>>324458268
yeah, but this is at 150 dollars.

That's very rude, you should apologize.
>>324456454
That card was in the first system I built myself. That and a Core 2 Duo E6600. And now I just fucking realized my current system also has a 6600 in it. Just replacing the E before with a k after.
>>324458268
I did and my games ran like shit and I don't know why to this day, I bought arkham city for 100 australian dollarinos when it launched to test my card and it took me 2 days to download on my internet through steam
never again will I fall for the cutting edge PC gaming meme
>>324458358
But you need a good PSU to handle that card though.

I played Arkham Knight and Witcher 3 on a 560ti:^)
>>324458636
I love those people though.
>Pfft my 670 is still going strong, i can max out Witcher 3 1080p ultra at 60fps
Stupid question but is a GTX 960 better than the GTX 750 Ti?
>>324455567
The 7750 already did what the 750ti does now way before it but okay retard.
Protip: mudshit steambabbies existed long before either of those video cards, on laptops.
>>324459148
Absolutely. It costs more too though.
>>324459148
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5vVTUCuYeQ
>>324459148
Only very slightly. Better of getting 970
>>324459105
>I fell for these fucking memes
>>324459293
Better off waiting for 20nm cards, they will blow them out of the water
>>324458742
I heard the exact same thing when I got a 750. PC gaming isn't worth shit if you can't get your hands on a $300 card. The 980, a fucking $600 card is already struggling with most recent games when played at meme settings. A r9 290 won't last more than one year, especially with VR around the corner.
>>324458960
>I played Arkham Knight and Witcher 3 on a 560ti :^)
I'm sure you did buddy. It ran perfectly at 720p low and with drops.
>The 750 ti can run anything!
Only people saying that are faggots who only ever play assfaggots and counterstrike with the occasional flavour of the month toaster friendly meme game.
>>324459148
yes but it's way too expensive for what you get

>>324458898
>$450 on a 770
Jesus christ, what a fucking ripoff.
Even the fucking 280x which outperforms the 770 in a lot of games nowadays launched at like $300-$350.
Nowadays the 280x is like $180-$200.
>Cheap and effective
>Ruined PC gaming
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
>>324459321
It's okay, you have learned your lesson. You will never be meme'd again.
>>324459293
>actually suggesting a bro should get a 970
You are the worst kind of scum
>>324459458
Living in Brazil is like living in a bizarro world, Nvidia cards are usually way cheaper than AMD around here.
>>324459364
http://wccftech.com/nvidia-pascal-trouble/
>>324459553
Because some idiots didn't buy the 2GB model or bought another card that performed worse for more money
>>324459462
Yeah im a fucking idiot, I can't get used to the fact that 20nm bombed and still think that's the next stepping.
>>324459410
Look a 750ti will play games identically to PS4, not meme settings, but most games are easily played with it, if it has a PS4 release it will work.
>>324459410
>at meme settings
opinion discarded
>>324458898
I bought a 290 for $240 on black Friday in 2014 The card is strangely worth more today than what i payed for it..
>>324458636
The 750ti is still a decent GPU, I think the issue is that you can't into options customization.
My 280x runs most games well even at 1440p.
Hell, I can run Crysis 3 on high at 1440p60 unless there are a lot of particle effects on-screen (in which case the lowest drop I've seen has been to ~40 FPS).
In MP is basically a constant 60 FPS at 1440p on most maps aside from the penn depot.
>>324459624
euroland is the same way
>>324456454
Dude what.
My bro uses the 8800GT on his computer without RAM and still plays Red Dragon.
>>324455567
im on a i7 920 oc'd to 3.9 ghz because my D0 cpu just can't stabilize past 4. On a 560 ti oc'd i get medium settings on Fallout 4. Medium on Witcher 3. Medium on bf4 with steady 150+ fps.

>get mad
you're all retards t b h f a m
>>324460043
>Medium on bf4 with steady 150+ fps.
You must play at some shit-tier resolution like 1440x900 or 720p.
>>324459675
You really need those ultra settings that look only marginally better than normal but drain 200% computing power?
>>324459673
Not entirely true. I tried playing Arkham Knight with it and anything above Low settings turns the game into a slideshow when something is going on screen. PS4 version looks significatively better and runs at much more stable framerate. This game is mostly an exception but yeah, if the games are going to look and run the same I'd rather play on console, at least I get a physical copy, don't have to deal with bullshit and the games have proper trophies support.
>>324460312
>and the games have proper trophies support.
Aww shit, here we go.
>>324460103
how was I supposed to know that it was all a cruel meme, huh? why would anyone lie about it, huh?
maybe I thought something good would happen in my life for once
maybe I watched some videos showing off graphics mods running smoothly and I believed people who told me putting together a PC is like legos and they get a buttery smooth framerate with no techanical issues on ultra in every game on a budget card
was I so wrong to have hope for once in my life, huh?

Kek, I blame you for falling for obvious lies.
>>324458797

Do you do it from sheer adoration for your fat jew overlord or is nvidia/amd paying you to shill on /v/ and plebbit?
>>324460953
I had 8g of ram and 64bit win7
I'd freeze all the time, especially going in and out of doors as well as getting a shit framerate
my card wasn't too hot either
>tfw still with R9 270
>tfw poorfag, so can't upgrade
>>324457924
>Fury X performs better in DX12
Might as well perform better in alternate universes as well, because that's just as relevant to gaming today as DX12 performance.
>>324461369

Can you state actual examples of those lies?
>>324458898

290X is currently the best price/performance card
>>324460617
>ultra in every game on a budget card
I don't know why they would tell you that.
Though, if you got a 750ti or better, then you still have enough gpu power to run any multiplat game that's released this console gen.
And you do have the option to increase the frame rate at the cost of some visual quality. I wish I could do that on consoles too.

What happened to it?
What gpu did you have?
It could have been an issue that was fixed in a driver update. Did you update your video drivers?
There are even some cases where drivers can make a card perform worse in older games.
>>324460237
Nah, I have a 560ti with barely 1gb of vram.
FO4 on medium, BF4 on high, haven't played witcher 3.
Its showing its age now but its a great card. The only thing that really fazes it for some reason is Cities Skylines
>>324462272
It can still still run those games at 1080p60 at better settings than consoles, just nor maxed out
But people like to complain I guess
>>324461442
Your mind just works backwards. You see someone lie, and then you count them as "one of us", whatever that means. So you make it true yourself.
>>324462049
Shilling for who?
PC is not a company, like sony, microsoft and nintendo.
How do I get off my lazy ass and get a job?
I'm tired of running a shitty HD6670 for years now but I have literally zero experience doing anything and am a social retard to top it off. I don't even know what to put on a CV when I'm such an unremarkable person.I won't kill myself, before you say.
This year during Black Friday after doing a lot of research I got a 750ti. Best card that fits in my small form factor case and gets enough power from my 240w psu. It performs damn good for what it is.
>>324462568
nothing, I still have those things but at the time of arkham city's release that's what I had then too
I had a gtx580 3gb (I know it's meme, everywhere was out of the card I wanted so I went one up for the meme card). I tried multiple driver versions
piece of shit, fucking pc gaming

>>324463018
Yeah, but the PC as a whole is not a product made by one gigantic company
>>324460656
next gen hits probably sometime this year with 8GB and 16GB vram
4GB will remain standard for a while but it's a year or 2 from retirement
>>324461817
From personal experience.
>>you lie about how "cheap" it is
I'm not going to mention the embarassing "$400 console killer" because we both know it's bullshit. Let's assume you want a decent PC that will run everything and have a $550 budget.
>$560 PC
Now what you plug it into your TV?
>$180 monitor
You gonna use telepathy?
>$30 K+M
Can't hear shit captain.
>$40 speakers
You gonna sit on that kitchen chair for several hours?
>$60 desktop chair
>>lie about how "easy" it is
You are going to encounter lot of issues, while building and then go though lot of bullshit. It takes a whole afternoon to build and set up everything. You also have to take care of your PC over the years/months.
>>lie about how "convenient" it is
Troubleshooting, adjusting settings, dealing with bullshit is common.
>>lie about the "games" it has
Everyone is playing Dota 2 and CS. Exclusives are either meme games or autism simulators. The only relevant games are basically broken console ports I could already play on console.
The only positive about PC gaming is 6th gen emulation. But that still has it's flaws.
>>324462993
the 580 served my friend well until he got a 980.
Should've been a workhorse man. Oh well.
Honestly I really liked that generation. 7970 was the shit and nvidia had some nice cards too.
What a time to live in though. Now the 950 is piss cheap for the kind of performance you're getting. Can absolutely smoke an Xbone and PS4.
>>324463197
Nvidia is.
>>324462616
bullshit I have a 650 OC 2GB and it only runs Fo4 on medium at sub 30fps in many locations at 95%+ usage
>>324463040

Never had other jobs to pad it either.
My 980ti identifies as an attack helicopter
>>324463271
>including a $60 desk chair in the price
Don't forget that you need at least a $200 couch for consoles
>>324462419
You can get a $300 laptop for porn and shitposting and a $300 PS4. It would cost roughly the same amount as 1 (ONE) single PCuck machine equiped with a meme card and coupons for butthurt.
You will be able to play all the multiplats +all the good exclusives on PS4, and all the PC exclusive meme games on your laptop.
>>324463271
PC has a fuckload of good games are you high?
Basically the entire Xbox 360 library is there. New releases always have ports if not dedicated. And like you said, emulation is great.
I play melee on emulator and it's almost flawless.
>1080p resolution
>anti aliasing so no jagged edges
>no frame drops like there were occasionally on gamecube(fountain of dreams- four player, etc)
>custom hacks and mods
Dude it's great.
Steam is also incredible too. Much easier to manage than Xbone libraries which takes the worst from both worlds. It installs the game to the harddrive and takes up a shitload of space but you still need the physical CD to play.
It's honestly worth it. Imo
Still have my 7970 from 3 years ago i think.
Fucking recks all games and didnt even cost much when it came out.
Still a 1080p fag though so maybe thats why
>>324463453
amd what does Nvidia make? Do they make central processors, do they make motherboard PCBs? Do they make cases? No? Fuck off, then
>>324462993
I've had two gtx 580s myself. They were okay and ran hot as hell compared to later cards
I think faulty drivers killed both of them.
They should still be stronger than this console gen, which is pretty good for a gpu released in 2010
Do you not get decent framerates in modern games with your card?
>>324463213
>1080Ti
>16GB VRAM
>most people are still playing in 1080p
>>324463642
I like higher resolutions but honestly this whole bullshit about 4k is a meme I think.
Go with a nice 1080p monitor with a good screen type.
I have an Asus that runs at 144hz with 1ms input lag gray-to-gray scaling. It's fucking fantastic. A proper replacement for any CRT.
>>324457665
What a waste, should have gotten a 960 at least
>>324463683
What point are you even trying to prove here? I don't get your point. They're still a corporation, and they exist.
>>324463564
Place yourself in the shoes of a normal individual. You have a small apartment, a couch to sit on and a TV. When you decide to build a PC chances are you don't have a chair made for comfortable sitting for prolonged time.
>>324456916
I still have my 560ti and im not upgrading until next year after 5 years of having it, this card is a beast.
>>324463534
How are you supposed to set that up if you run a 120 for your cpu as well? Back slot is taken, front slots are too cramped and the side doesn't have the clearance on any but the most fucking massive of cases. Drop it on the bottom behind the PSU?
>>324463530

>GTX 580

So let me get this straight, you bought a-then-4-year-old GPU to run a brand new, poorly-optimized game?
Are you borderline retarded?
The 580 literally trades blows with a GTX 660 (pic related) which means in most games it'll barely outperform the PS4.
>>324463213
The fuck do you need all this VRAM for.

>Exclusives are either meme games or autism simulators
Consoles also have tons of weebshit so your point is moot, you decide what you want to play even if you have to muscle through trashes

Crysis modded, Warband modded and SupCom FA modded never comes to consoles
>>324455567
GOAT card
I don't think I'll switch it for a while since PC games only need a good CPU these days
>>324463271
you know, whenever people say that PC is cheaper, it's usually in the long run. Hlw many times does this have to be repeated? For a $560 PC, you only have to upgrade up to upwards $300+ if you want to last for another 2 generations with the added bonus of not having to rebuy your games for different hardware. The opposite is true for consoles

Can my 300$ laptop runs PS2 emu? I don't think PS4 can run all older gen games
I've got a prebuilt from 2007, possibly 2008, with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 610. The best game I can run is New Vegas around 25FPS at 1280x720 with lag in Freeside/New Vegas themselves.
So mostly I emulate since I can't run anything new. Was all excited for GTA IV back when it came out and at absolute lowest settings including resolution, I was getting under 20 FPS
>>324464246
But Arkham City runs fine, even on shit-tier GPUs.
I ran it at 50-60 FPS on medium-high at 2048x1152 on my old HD 5770.
Same for Arkham Origins.

What have you been smoking, Steam is cancerous as fuck m8. The community is absolutely terrible. The sales are a nasty trick to sell you shit games you will never play. The whole platform is a video games themed facebook infested with faggotry on top of being a giant DRM.
I don't know much about Xbox, but the Wii U, the PS3 and the PS4 all have a nice interface.

An SSD.
No seriously. They're fucking great. You'll never look at your PC the same way again when you instantly load games and boot up at least twice as fast.
Don't believe /g/ that they're meme drives. They're excellent and by the time yours becomes outdated or corrupted(yes SSDs do lose integrity...at a snail's rate), a brand new superior one can be bought and replace it for a very small price.
>>324463865

Actually, my personal point with that image is that games are poorly optimized on all platforms, it's not a PC-only thing.
Thing is, when a game is poorly optimized on consoles you're kinda shit out of luck, at least on PC you can lower the settings and get a playable experience or upgrade if you're really that bothered.
>>324464540
>>324464556
Alien Isolation is pretty poorly optimized on consoles.
In fact, quite a few games have some pretty nasty optimization issues, in some cases, new updates come with their own issues (like that new Diablo 3 patch on PS4).
>>324464580
Yeah, but the point of this entire thread was that card, not PC gaming as a whole. I really don't see where you're trying to go with this.

I don't own a TV with an HDMI port.
What do?
Need to upgrade from a 7800. What's a good card without paying money out the ass so that I can actually play XCOM2 on max?
Never had problems with AMD, despite what the memes say
I keep seeing people on here bitching about the 970. I don't really keep up to date with cards, but I need to upgrade my rig in the next few months, so I'll ask; what's the deal?
>>324458898
I bought a 670 for a little over $400, including shipping, within a month or two of it coming out.
Still using it to this day. I don't look forward to having to replace her, but thankfully I'm still able to get most things up to at least high settings across the board at 1080. Mostly 60 FPS, but not always 100%..
>>324464481
There's a reason why Steam got so big in the first place.
Convenience. It does everything. Sure it's "DRM" but it's tied to an account you have anyways. The only security in place is there to prevent others from stealing your shit or replicating the fuck out of it and causing all kinds of issues with piracy(if you wanna pirate something just use fucking piratebay or whatever)
>PCs have had physical drives forever
The fact that DVD drives are no longer necessary I think is a big improvement. The transferring of information has become much easier. I still personally have a CD drive though and so do a lot of others so consoles do not have an advantage here.
>>324464447

With that card it still must have ran games leagues better than games did on consoles.

You should trade for a 530. This thing ran BF4 @40 FPS 720p on the lowest settings. I couldn't even believe that the game actually opened.

Actually, I'd estimate that 95% of relevant games have PC versions.
>>324464927
Honestly, Nvidia lied about its general perfoamnce and VRAM, but it still seems like a fine card. i wouldn't buy one personally, but thats because I'm waiting for 14/16nm to hit to upgrade.
>>324465001I didn't actually know that, young lady. As I said, I don't really follow cards

You don't have to change thermal paste, dismantle the thing to clean fans, upgrade, watch your "temps" and all that shit. It's also very rare that a game is broken to the point you are unable to play it on consoles.

Might drop to like 200-250. Now that's amazing performance to price if I've ever seen it
I used to run SLI but one after 5 years of service one of my GPUs died on me. I think it might be time to upgrade. Suggestions?
>Hating on good, cheap mid-range cards just because they have the best price/performance ratio

There's always going to be something "right around the corner". People here have been saying for m o n t h s that there's NEW GPUS SOON DONT BUY ANYTHING YET WAIT FOR THE PRICE DROP
Why bother waiting for godot when you can just upgrade immediately without wasting m o n t h s waiting for the next big step in an industry built off endless next big steps?
I'm buying an msi 970 next week because my old card died and I'm bored shitless staring at my new copy of BF4 while playing dota at low on my facebook-tier graphics card, the next big step isn't coming soon anyway with recent nvidia news.
>>324465202

Right, instead you wait around and when your console RRoDs, YLoDs, RLoDs, or outright bricks you sit around, scratch your head, and send it in to mommy Microsoft or Sony so they can fix it.

>>324464379
PS4 PS2 retrocompatibility is in preparation. Your $300 laptop will run every emulator except 6th gen. That requires a good CPU, you could probably find something for under $400 with a strong dual core CPU. I have a 450 eurobucks laptop with an i5 and ePSX2 runs fine in 720p.
>>324464050
Did you not even look at what you linked? GTA is running 4GB at 1080, at 4k it's going 6.4. Shadow of Mordor is fucking 4.8at 1080.
>>324465509
Then you're going to be telling me to wait for a price drop. Then you're going to be telling me to wait for some new card because these newer ones are going to be worse than your expectations.
This is a vicious cycle that repeats itself. Your lottery games are insulting, good lady.

>I'm buying an msi 970 next week because my old card died and I'm bored shitless staring at my new copy of BF4 while playing dota at low on my facebook-tier graphics card, the next big step isn't coming soon anyway with recent nvidia news.
This is different than having a functional GPU like a 650/6870/7870 whatever and waiting for the biggest step forward in GPU technology since 2011.
Should I bother with a 980/980Ti or will a 970 be good enough?
>>324465581
Funny, because I've gone through 3 360s and 2 PS3s.
>>324465586
>I have a 450 eurobucks laptop with an i5 and ePSX2 runs fine in 720p.
At that point you might as well just save up an extra $100 and build a decent gaming PC.
450 euros is like $500 (which kind of surprised me, but it's funny seeing your currency drop so much).
Personally, I think the best setup would be this:
$600-$900 gaming PC, $100-$200 netbook for school/portable work, and 1 or 2 consoles (for me the only current gen console I own is a WiiU).
>>324465092
If we count PS3, 360, Wii U, PSVita, 3DS, PS4, Xbone, i'd say 20%.
>>324464479
If you get a 144 monitor, are you needing to run all your games at 144 fps to have it look good just as you need to run 60fps on a 60hz monitor? Because that's gonna be a bitch on most every card out there.
>>324465820
Nah, even then it's still ~85%.
>>324463271
Lets compare my 336 game steam library to my 20 game xbox 360 library, Xbox first
>$110 for skyrim (FUCKING STRAYA)
>$300 for the xbox itself
>$70 for oblivion
>$70 each for Halo 3 and Halo ODST
>$70 FO:NV
>$100 Fable 3
>$30 Fallout 3 goty and Fable 2 Legendary
>$8 Crackdown and Bioshock (excellent purchases)
>$8 phantasy star and gears of war (terrible purchases)
>$50 Crackdown 2
>$25 Saints Row 2
>$50 Borderlands + $20 DLC
>$50 CoD WaW
>$100 2 extra controllers
>$300 3 years of xbawks gold (because the price was ass back then) and DLC items (I know I spent at least $100 on those shitty microsoft point cards)
shipped with Pro evolution soccer 2008, ass cred and lego indiana jones
I got $1477 there not including price of TV and couch (because apparently furniture counts) vs $1000 for PC and peripherals, $358.50 for the 40 games on steam I have with 10 hours on them; another $60 based on the 299 games left over divided by 5 for the median price of humble bundle games, another $100 because I know I've thrown money at enough random crap.
So all up you have $1518.50 for a 336 game PC with 40 games heavily played (plus pirated games in some quantity with some (large) amount of playtime) vs $1477 for a 20 game xbox 360 with 14 games heavily played
>>324465894
If you count Fallout 4 and Asscreed as relevant games.
>>324466009
I count every AAA game and most multiplats.
I don't however, count weeb games with sub-150k sales that no one except weebs and otaku care about.
>>324465969
And yet of those 336, 320 are shovelware, 14 are console ports, and you only play the 2 left. Which are assfaggots and counter strike.
>>324465586
So 350$ laptop and 300$ PS4 = total 650$
Don't know if this is a good option, like in the future do I need to change my laptop when PS5 comes out?
>>324466126
Your loss.
>>324463271
>not plugging it into your TV
>not sitting on the floor
Pleb.
>>324465969
To add on to this, I just recently got a WiiU, and I spent:
>$300 for the console (which came with MK8)
>$45 on Sm4sh
>$6 on Bayo 1
>$60 on 3 WiiU Pro Controllers
>$20 on a Gamecube controller
Which has already come out to almost $450.
And this doesn't even take into account the other games I need to buy (Bayo 2, W101, Xenoblade X, possibly Super Mario 3D World, Splatoon, and a few others).
Though it is definitely worse for Nintendo, they have a tendency to keep their game prices sky fucking high.

Those things you mentioned about thermal pastes and cleaning rarely ever happens. And broken games are rare as well for PC.
>>324465969
I'd like to add a timeframe for both devices
Xbox was my primary gaming device from christmas 2007 to christmas 2011
PC was and is my primary gaming device from christmas 2011 to now, so roughly the same period of ownership (4 years)
The PC is beginning to feel its years but the cost of new parts would be about the same as the cost of an xbone or ps4 as the majority of the system is still holding together.
Also worth mentioning is that I no longer give a shit about handheld gaming while in the xbox period I had a $200 DS with 4 $70 pokeman games and a $50 piracy card

I have a brother who's looking to upgrade as well.
Do you already have a prebuilt toaster with an i5 or an i7?
The low power consumption of the card should pretty much guarantee that you can just put it in your toaster and everything should work.
I would probably recommend the gtx 950 instead. It's no beast but it's stronger than console with a fairly big margin.
However it uses slightly more power and costs a bit more.
I am curious, how many watt would a system with a gtx 950 need?
>>324458268
>dollarinos
>>324465520
>750ti
It would be preferable if you got a fucking job
>>324465721
980/ti both take small bounds ahead of the 970 from what I've seen, but I'm still going to buy a 970 because my replacement parts build (i5-4690k, msi-z97g5, msi-970, core3500 case) is already at $1,225 dollary-doos and I'm not willing to substitute this $500+ card for a $1,000+ 980ti.
From the graph posted earlier in this thread I'm pretty sure that the 980ti can get fucked if they're asking another $500-600 for a !!!!10%!!!! marked increase in performance and muh vram.
Beware of the lengths of the cards when you're buying a 970 because the gigabyte-G1970 is 31cm long and will fuck your HDDs and cables up. It also has 3 god damn fans on it, like zenix or some other brands.
>the lack of speccy in this thread

Pretty much any basic system will need a maximum of 500W which will give plenty of excess and allow the PSU to run cool and comfy. I'm on 450W which will probably keep my future 970 happy.
If you're going insane with your PC which is very silly then you could go higher than 500W but it's pretty pointless unless you really really really need it to support whatever disaster is being created.
Make sure it's not a cheapo chinese PSU that will burn down your PC and your house, because they exist in great numbers, but also don't go for some 3lit3 gam3r $300 PSU because das dumb

Only 300? I expected something like 400-500 watt.
300 as in, just enough to power the components, or as in enough to run things stable?
My brother does have a 300 watt power supply in his toaster. If he got a gtx 950, would it actually work fine under full load or would he get bluscreen?
What's a good Mini ITX case, /v/?
>>324467697
>300 as in, just enough to power the components, or as in enough to run things stable?
The latter.
People overestimate how much wattage you need for a stable build.
Just for comparison, a PC with 7 R9 Nanos and a 28-core hyperthreaded server CPU draws around 1550 watts at full load.
A PC with a single R9 Nano and an i5 4690k draws around 450 watts.
PCs don't really use that much power, a fucking hot plate draws more wattage than the average high-end gaming PC.

Assuming he has a GTX 950, an i5 4460, a 7200 RPM HDD, a blu-ray drive, a wireless card, 1337 g4m3r garbage, and a 120mm fan, load wattage would be ~288 watts.

Yes.
Great GPU for 1080p60 high/max in new games and even 1440p60 in some.
Oh look, PC pseudogamers that think graphics actually mean anything.
Here's a hint, shitstains: it ain't graphics that make PC gaming better than consoles. It's everything else. Graphics don't mean shit for gaming. Modern gaming is all about graphical clusterfuckery at the expense of actual quality gameplay, as well as feeling like they need to have some sort of overblown, intrusive story bullshit to go along with their pretty fucking graphics because suddenly they think that having pretty graphics means gaming has to emulate movies or TV.
Fuck that shit. Gaming is best when you can run your game on a fucking toaster and it has quality gameplay. If you paid more than a few hundred bucks for your PC because you needed some overblown graphics card and a souped up, overheating, power-sucking processor (as well as a fucking power supply that could provide a good sized third world nation with power), you're an idiot.
Go play good, old games. Now. Some may be nearly as old as you are or even older, and some may have pixels the size of your tiny little head, but don't be afraid and don't judge the quality of a game by its graphics, because that is fucking stupidity.
