Will you be getting the GTX1080 or the 1070?
Polaris fags need not apply
>>332540904
I already have the 980Ti
1070 if it will be at least twice more powerful than my 770
>>332540904
I'll get whichever one gets killed the least by nVidia drivers.
no because i have a 980 and that will do for another year.
>>332540904
M last three nvidia cards died and they seem to run slower and worse than amd gpus so NO
$500 and $300?
>Polaris using 256-bit memory bus
Which one is the one Nvidia doesn't render obsolete with drivers?
>>332540904
Polaris fags may need to apply, lets not pretend the 1070 could sound amazing on paper and then be gimped to fuck through memory.
If it isn't higher than 6gb it may as well be DOA.
Whatever has the best price/performance
>>332542645
>implying it won't be 5.5gb
>>332543017
Hah, you got exactly my point.
Honestly the 970 seemed a good card until a month later, and a lot of AMD stuff hasn't been too good on drivers until recently.
I have a shitty 750ti for £70 and I've been sitting with my thumb up my ass for two years as most of the cards out have been shite. 390's look good but this close to the 1070 I may as well wait.
>>332542224
Any of them.

>>332541095
Pfff that is sooo last year.

So it's that easy to swap the plates off huh? I aint getting either
I'm not getting tricked fuck you
>>332543783

>>332540904
Will probably get the 80 or 80ti when it comes out.
Always seem to be the better of the ranges. My 780 has had no problems since I bought it.
>>332540904
I will wait a little until the ti versions.

Don't get meme'd
>>332544004
Why are they called ti anyways?
What is their purpose?
I've never understood them.
>>332540904
1060 if it's passive/silent under light load, 1050 otherwise.

this guy
>>332543961
It actually works fine if all you play is old games like me. Diablo 2 at 4k without scaling is hilariously awesome. Games like Psychonauts also look really sharp good.
>mfw I have bought MSI GTX960
Depends.
I have a high end 980 Ti right now, and it depends on how well Pascal performs. If it can deliver on its promise of 2X performance in both 1440p and 4K (using 1440p at the moment, and eventually getting a 4K TV) THEN I will sell my 980 Ti and get a Pascal card. I am talking at least SLI levels of performance on a single card for me to switch.
If its just a marginal gain, then nah. I can wait. I might SLI together another 980 Ti if it goes this way, since it will be way cheaper once the 1080 and 1070 hit.
>>332541243
My 770 (4gb) fan controller died so it's always stuck at idle speed. Definitely getting 1070 as soon as it's out.
I thought OPs picture was the arson investigators 'crime scene' photos. Holding the evidence up while saying "Bingo, found the origin of the fire"
>>332544595
Is just for the element titanium, a cool name for a high clocked card.
>>332541243
Same. My 770 has been good to me but I think it's time for an upgrade.
Will be skipping the next line of GPUs, probably will wait for the 1100 or 1200 series.
My 980 SLI will last at least another two years anyway.
I just bought a 970. I should be OK for a couple years. It's VR capable, you know!
>770
>shitting the bed on high
>have to settle for mid settings for most games
>those are starting to fail too because shitty optimization

Will we be getting very efficient GPUs that will make them viable even on ultrabooks? Would be neat to buy an ultrabook that actually uses a proper GPU and not just shitty Intel HD.
>>332545608

Cuck
>>332541095
livin' in the past.
>>332545390
>>332541243
Have a 670 and it's still going pretty strong, I'm thinking of not upgrading until Pascal gen 2, or maybe a pascal ti card.
Don't want to spend more than 300.
>>332545621
What the hell games are you having issues with? 770 is fine for 1080p. Just turn off retard effects.
When do these cards come out? can I get a cheap 970 when these hit the stores? Is that how it works.
Last time I built a PC was when the 8800GT was new.
I'm 30 years old (unfortunately not a wizard) and want to join the PC gaming mustard vase once again!!!
I have a 660 right now.
Thinking of getting a 960 soon.
I dunno though.
>>332541095
you should switch to /vr
>>332545996
the witcher 3, far cry 4, xcom 2, fallout 4. None of those games run at constant 60fps even on medium
>>332546001

>>332546141
wow what a shitty taste
>>332546141
Those games run like shit for everyone.
>>332543783
>4k and 3.5GB meme cardhelp
>>332546141
They run like shit for just about everything. They're all horribly optimized.
Apparently DaS3 has similar issues.
Its rather frustrating, its obviously all just for the sake of forcing people to upgrade despite the difference in graphics between 2010 and now being negligible/over-reliance on #POST_PROCESSING that most people fucking try to turn off anyways.
Depends on the price. I'll definitely be looking at the 1070.
>>332540904
Depends how good it is.
My 560TI is getting old
>>332545996
Nvidia gameworks dont offer the option, that is one big problem with nvidia. They just force you retarded fx.
Probably gonna get the 1080ti to replace my 770, I can wait a bit longer

im going to be skipping X generation of GPUS because Y is right around the corner!!11!1!1!!!!
The 970 probably won't go down by 100$ or more when pascal drops, right?
How long until the 1060?
Sooo, should i buy 980ti in may?
>>332546229
I run TW3, FC4 and FO4 finewith a 390X
770 brothers unite
Probably would if there were any games to play
>>332546057
Wait for 1060, it will use new chip, so it's a better choice
>>332546840
This time around is a whole new architecture
>>332546383
The Witcher and Far Cry run good if your GPU haven't been gimped
>>332546924
Ha ha ha ha...even the 980 will sink like the titanic.
>buying first series of cards with new architecture
>>332547114
Not really. New card comes out, immediately sells out, prices skyrocket, old cards stay the same until they're out of production.
>>332547094
But the second generation of the new architecture is usually more refined!
But then the next generation of architecture is around the corner!

How good is a PC with an i5 core, a GTX960 and 16 GB ram?
enough for witcher? because i literally just bought such a PC
>>332540904
Well, Im not going to pay more than 1000 usd for the cards.
>>332547897
Good enough for a dad player.
>>332547897
Yes. Not for witcher 1 though. It'll drop fps in some locations anyway
>>332547897
Maybe medium settings?
>>332547897
Pretty good but 16gb isn't enough, you need at least 32gb of RAM for modern games.
>>332546141
Bullshit. I run fallout 4 60 fps constantly on a 770 with these settings. Turn off the jewvidia effects

That's pretty much wrong. 8 GB is still fine, 16 is enough for overhead, and 32 is just overkill.
I mean RAM is cheap, but still.

>>332548168
Yeah, EVGA does have some pretty awesome warranties and trade in policies.
So any leaks on the amd card front?
>>332548382
Only memory leaks
>>332548382
they leaked you might get a compatible driver soon
just a rumor though no evidence yet :^)
I'll probably wait until the TI version assuming it has HBM / HBM2.

i don't even know why I have DOF on, it's usually one of the things I turn off

Would it even matter to anyone besides 4k users?
I run 4GB at 1440p. I would LIKE 6GB for overhead, but 4GB is still enough.
Why is the GTX 1080 called the GTX 1080? Because when you see it you turn 1080 degrees and walk away.
>>332540904
1070 in 2017 if games start getting more demanding.
I have a GTX 960 and I haven't had issues in any game.

what better proof that then a bunch of completely random forums posts thrown together into a meme image with no rhyme nor reason
man you got me....
How long into the future will a 970 and an i5 last me? I'm thinking of upgrading from a literal potato (610 and i3), so I'm not looking to play shit like the Witcher 3 in 4k, just to finally be able to play games from the last five years at playable frame rates.
Also, what is a good brand of motherboard to get? ASUS?
>>332549227
Nvidea are jews, but they're not stupid jews, they'll gimp the 1070 in a different way since the 3.5GB meme caused such a headache.
Why would I buy a 1080 when I have pic related? Maybe when the 1080 Ti comes out if my current setup isn't still pushing 100fps+ in every title I throw at it.

>people actually believe this
it will literally do everything for a long time
>>332549672
I literally put together my new pc (970 and I54690K) 2 days ago and there isn't a game I can't run at at least very high at 60. Only reasons why 970 will be a problem for you is if
A- DX12 becomes THE THING in every single game in a year
B- you play on a higher resolution in which case 3.5 meme will show
Currently testing out multiple games but so far I've had no issues with games except from having to cut out on shit like ULTRA MSAAX54 and Gimpworks but that's expected I believe from a 3.5g 300 dollars card.
>>332549042
>Sounds like a bunch of kids fucked their GPU with bad overclocking
Do you have any idea how many fucktards download afterburner etc and jack their power limit to max and over volt their card with no regard to what it does to the hardware? It's pretty fucking hilarious.
Then they're surprised when their card has tons of driver crashes from then on and random crashes. Show me an actual, manufacturer issue. Not user-end stupidity and I might believe AMD can still compete (they can't)
I've got an "i5 3750k 3.4GHz quad core" lying around
With a 1500 or so budget, can I make a lasting gaming rig out of this?
Need that silky smooth 60FPS
>>332545621
That seems sanitary.
>>332550076
I agree with you completely, and that's why I find naive to bash AMD for their drivers since they've been really good for years now. I had a 7870 and now a 390X and the only problem I had with drivers was that Crimson fan lock, which I managed to fix the first time it appeared since I always monitor shit.
Power comsumption is still higher on AMD cards, though, but both drivers and heat aren't a problem anymore unless you're a complete retard
>>332550237
$1500? You can make whatever the fuck you want, son, and have money left over. Go nuts.
the 970 isnt bad, i just dont see why anyone would have it over the equivalent R9
will amd EVER get working drivers for their cards?
>>332550562
I'm glad you took your time to make this because of my post
>>332550432
Neat
And I can build it all around that CPU? It's older but I hear i5s are the best for gaming so I was hoping I could put it to good use.
>>332547897

>>332547362
Sticking with AMD GPU seems much more reasonable than a CPU, at least that's what I've been seeing everywhere. There has to be one tailored for games, though I've never seen one marketed as such.

>>332550950
Nope
>>332550458
As someone who just bought a 970 after months of thinking it over against the 390, I think I can help with that.
Although the r9 390 appears to be an overall better card, I think there are 3 major factors that people like me considered. I don't consider myself an nvidiashill since I've used AMD all my life and my last card before the 970 was an HD5770.
1- Heat. the 390 produces more heat and despite being a subject that arguably is dumb since it's not THAT much more heat, it raises concern on most people
2- Power Usage. Also not a huge difference as nvidia fans will say, but still a "buzzword" so to say that raises eyebrows on a possible consumer that often just looks for stability and reliability (even if it's from nvidia)
3- Punishment vote. Most AMD users like myself have gone through years of shitty drivers, shitty support, nvidia contracts and overall being fucked in the ass by AMD. I know they are changing ffor the better now but yet their reputation stick like glue. No matter which cards or how objectively better AMD becomes, the seed of mistrust in it's old users is so deep that it will take a LOT to overcome. It's not an "I like Nvidia" situation it's the opposite. It's "Fuck AMD i'm fucking done supporting these pieces of shit that fuck me in the ass with the only excuse that nvidia will theorically do it with a bigger penis"
Aw, come on. I was about to RMA my faulty 780Ti and pay the price difference to get a 980Ti...
When are the new ones coming out?
>>332551224
Summer, supposedly.
>>332545608
1080p should be great
1440p is ok but 970 struggles under heavy load on newer games 40-50fps medium-high settings AA turned off and draw distance lowered that is how the division is setup up for my 970
