Fixed, retard.
Just play on low there's no difference

>>333617032
Why would you buy 980 over 980ti?
>>333617131
Bought the 980 last November before the ti.
>>333617131
Why would you buy either when a die shrink is just around the corner? Worst case scenario 980 gets a price cut and you save a few bucks

>>333615898
most cards come with molex to 8/6 pin adapters.
>>333616251
That's a relief. I have a 6870, the bare minimum card requirement to play the game.

>>333617436
if you're PSU isn't dogshit the 8 pin connectors should look like this.
Just play with whatever you currently have, you can drop 800 dollars on a GPU+PSU and you will still have shit FPS in the later parts of the game so there's no point upgrading just for this game
>>333615898
Are you retarded?

I guess every DX12 game is automatically an AMD game because Nvidia can't into async compute.
>>333616251
Think I'll be able to play medium/high on a 7950?
>>333617885
That's the point: sensible people who buy 980/ti/titans don't "waste money" with purchases like these, they just can afford it, just like they can afford an upgrade in a few years. Only retards scrape their last saving to buy a GPU and think it will last them a generation playing on max

Holy fuck, it's summer already.
>>333618026
X1 is amd.
It's not really a leap to say QB is an AMD-specific game.
>>333618026
Considering it was developed for a console with AMD equipment - yes, it's an AMD game of sorts
Do I need an upgrade to at least run DaS3 at 60fps 1080p on medium

Probably though.
>>333618830
>people still buy locked CPUs
K-series tend to be more expensive and not everyone cares about tweaking and overclocking or worrying about the "silicon lottery"
>>333618459
4chan is 18+ kiddo
>>333618272
>>333618283
That's still different than Nvidia dumping truckloads of money onto devs to use their shitty black-box gameworks shit.
>>333618763
Maybe I just bought a bad product or maybe I am comparing apples to oranges but I bought myself an IDE to SATA adapter from some hard drives that did not work half the time. My worry is that the same thing will happen if I get an adapter like thatI do have a 750w PSU with 2 six-to-eight pin plugs but that is buried somewhere in storage and it would be a real pain in the ass to find it and swap out my current PSU for the other one
>>333619402
Do you have any proof of that?
>>333619607
Common sense. That's how the industry works, also Nvidia usually offers free advertising on top of it.
>>333618830
Overclocking is for autists. Just so you know for next time you inadvertently embarrass yourself.
>>333620120
Do you have any proof though?
>>333620130
>I bought a locked CPU the post
Cry harder, casual filth.
>>333618134
An excellent point if significant upgrades were coming in a few years. They aren't - they will most likely be out in Q3. People with money to blow buy high end cards when they get released, not a couple years into their cycle.
>>333619537
If you're really too lazy to dig out another powersupplywhy aren't you using that one anyway?you could also find one that splits one 6-pin connector into two 6+2-pin for a few bucks. Probably a few more for better shipping if you want it in time for DS3.
You should really look into this kind of thing before pulling the trigger on an expensive purchase.
>>333620130
This is why /v/ has a bad reputation. Because pure fucking retards post here.
>>333620130
Overclocking is the reason why my 2500k from 5 years ago isn't bottlenecking my system when I run games at 4k.
>>333620120
>I don't have any proof
So you claim to know something that you have no evidence for. That's called a guess.
>>333616251
There was barely any difference at all.
>>333620389
it's not even about significant upgrades, devs just get lazier and lazier and don't want optimize shit without significant improvements in visual fidelity of the games. I can run Advanced Warfare just fine, and it looked pretty okay, but I simply cannot run Blops even on low settings despite the game looking worse. What the fuck
>>333615898

Dont buy that nvidia shit anymore. I bought a GTX 970 back then when everybody said its the best to go through this gen smoothly. Now i see DX12 benchmarks where a GTX970 is worse than an old 280x and a R9 390 beats even the GTX980Ti/Titan X (in Quantum Break for example).
So just buy a R9 390 a be prepared to even outperform nvidias next Titan. Its that good.

You're gonna need bigger bait than that. I can't wait until the kids go back to school next week.
Hey, guise, memes aside. Will I be able to play ds3 in 900p on high on my 960?
>>333620834
GP100 isn't a video card meant for gaming, it's a "high-performance parallel compute product", and their conference was mostly focused on AI learning
>>333621486
define play, 960 is enough to play the game even on max settings unless you are asking for 60fps
>>333621692
I am.

>Nvidia literally JUST unveiled Pascal GP100 this week.
Nvidia didn't unveil anything even remotely related to gaming cards.
>>333615898
>He bought a shitty PSU
you don't need a 980, your FPS will tank due to the CPU anyway once you get to the later parts of the game
>>333622009
well, if you can count basic arithmetic you would know that pascal gp100 is downsized maxwell with fp64 units slapped on it
1:1 intel situation of 10% performance increase
>>333622402
Oh look you listed numbers.
Anyway the card they unveiled was for deep learning, AI, etc.
Nothing gaming related was announced so shut your fucking dick licker.

Guys I just installed a new mobo and cpu yesterday and now I'm getting a weird underscan problem with my display having a bunch of unused space. Wtf is going on?
>>333623257
The discussion isn't about performance it's about whether the GPU conference had anything gaming related to offer. It did not. Nothing on the consumer level was unveiled.
>>333623451
That sounds more like a fault of the programmer than anything.
And if it's an int and measured in grams then she'd only be like 150 pounds which isn't that fat.
Not enough information given

Everyone look and laugh at this dumb nigger that thinks he knows anything about technology. You bought a gimped fucking card for DX 12 you moron. Guess you better upgrade again to that 1080 hahwahwhahah

That's just poor optimization.
