It matters more actually. Shitty ports require massive amounts of power and Nvidia/AMD getting more power only means devs are gonna care even less about performance.

I'm pretty sure at this point both CPU and GPUs are hitting the technological wall, and the best we'll see are overpriced minute upgrades. That or they're just greedy merchants who are enjoying the monopolized, stagnant market because AMD isn't competing.

It was worth upgrading to 390x/980 from that card to begin with, so it will obviously be worth upgrading to Polaris/Pascal.

It'll be less good when actual power consumption numbers are tested. Nvidia always understates how much power their cards use. They do use a little less than AMD, but the gap is never as big as stated numbers. AMD is upfront about their power-hungry cards, Nvidia lists it lower, and the end result is less than 10% difference.

This game is literally why I'm buying one.

I've been holding off on playing it because I don't get 60fps.

Call me a frames snob, but I want to run lighting mods at 60+fps before I start it.

Today? 980, 980ti, 390x, Fury series.

In a couple months? 1070, 1080, and whatever AMD calls their new cards.

>>336750594

You just bought it today, knowing for MONTHS now they were coming/being announced at this time.

This. June had been the rumored date for Pascal and Polaris for literally the past 5 months, for the past week we've known Nvidia was announcing 1070/1080 today. No excuse for buying 980ti today.

learn to read a graph. It's at best 70% better than a 980. about 20% better than a Titan X

Yeah. The 980 Ti will last me at least another year.

It helps that I play at the super high resolution of 1080p.

I have a 290x. How big an upgrade would this end up being? Worthwhile?

Also, unrelated question, do you need an Nvidia card for G-sync monitors? I want to get one because I've heard they are great, but if I need an Nvidia card, it would make sense to wait until these hit and buy them at the same time.
>>
>>336749324
The card itself is not bad.
But what is bad is Nvidia marketing which they conveniently forget that 980ti exist in all of their presentation.

Titan X and 980 both have shitty launch price/performance while 980ti fix everything that is wrong with them.
Using these 2 GPU as a yardstick is a marketing tactic.

>>336751127
They say 2x 980 SLI. If it's not you can sue.

Of course this statements depends on type of SLI and if it's in direct x 12 or not.
>>
>>336747896
The mass market don't buy video cards. They buy premades, if they even buy computers at all. Only enthusiasts do.

uh buddy

the 1080 is better than SLI 980's and even the 1070 has more vRAM

I'm building a desktop now. Should I wait and get this or should I wait and get the current cards once they drop in price due to this coming out

or will that take much longer then it coming out
>>
>>336751131
>Buying 980ti to play at 1080p
Literally why. That's way over kill. 980/970 overclocked can pretty much max everything at 1080p with 60 FPS no problem. 980ti is for 1440p/4K.
>>
>people are freaking about the titan x getting outperformed by these

that happens in every GPU generation, ultra high end GPU's age like flies.
>>
So just wondering, price/performance wise it looks like the 1070 is the best way to go right?

The 1080 is better but I don't know if I can justify the extra 220 dollars for what is ultimately going to be a nominal improvement on my gaming experience.
>>
>>336751206
Damn. Now I got to decide if its worth waiting until the holidays for 100ish bucks off or if I should just say fuck it and get it now.
>>
>>336751448
Putting two cards in SLI doesn't make it twice as fast. 50-70% faster at best.
>>
>>336750927
how much stronger is the 1070?
>>
>>336746287
That's not almost twice, more like 160%.

>>336751337
>I have a 290x. How big an upgrade would this end up being? Worthwhile?
We don't know how good these new Nvidia cards will be, or AMD's for that matter. But probably worth upgrading once they are out.
Your 290x should last you a good while anyway, especially now that DX12 games will become the norm.

>Also, unrelated question, do you need an Nvidia card for G-sync monitors?
Yes, but you're better using FreeSync monitors. They are much cheaper and they work with AMD.
>>
>>336751443

>>336751417
the 980 is 1x and the 1080 is 2x, so the 1080 is only 1x as good as the 980, which isn't any improvement at all. They make those misleading charts to fool money stupid kids like you

No need to worry about other components. CPUs aren't doing much from prior generations and nothing else is advancing at the moment.

>>336751597
I only play in 1080p, so I have no idea if I should just upgrade to a 1070 or a 980 when it inevitably drops in price

>>336751458
Buy the new shit when it comes out. 1080 is like 3 weeks away, 1070 is a month away and they blow the current stuff at that price point out of the water.

This.

Unless you have a 980ti or maybe a Titan X, an upgrade to even a 1070 is a great idea at these prices.

These prices are AMD prices. I am so surprised people are shitting all over this. The 1070 is basically a 360 dollar 980ti. How is this bad?
>>
AT LEAST WAIT FOR THE TI FAGGOTS, WAIT!!!!!!

>>336751664
Yeah, but aren't I stuck with AMD only cards if I go with free sync? Seems if I upgrade to one of these things and buy a free sync monitor it will be a waste.

People keep saying this but when the 980 Ti came out, the 780 Ti didn't drop in price. It'll probably go to $500 at the lowest and then go out of production.

380 dollar.
Anyway, because they're mad at everything.

I honestly want to see how AMD is going to react to that. I want to go AMD this gen because of my Freesync monitor, but if their gen is as disappointing as last year's then I'll sadly go with Nvidia, and next gen they'll probably go bankrupt.
