Anyone excited for the 1080?I have a 4k monitor so yes I am excited.
http://1stamender.com/article.php?articlenumber=748
PC gaming hardware thread?
Battlestations?
Talk about the 1080?
I am getting a 1070 :^)
>>337030127
How about you wait for benchmarks first before making any decision?
Currently it's just all empty marketing talk. You don't seriously believe NVIDIA, do you?
>>337030127
>4k
>performance not even close to 4 time current gen
Enjoy silky smooth 18 fps fampai
>>337030127
The only talk here is that you got fucked by nvidia shills into believing it was a cheap card when its in fact 700 bucks.
http://www.gamersnexus.net/news-pc/2427-difference-between-gtx-1080-founders-edition-and-reference
>Every single instance of “Founder's Edition” can be replaced with the word “Reference,” using previous-gen nomenclature. There is not one difference in its market positioning. They are synonymous. NVidia has replaced its “Reference” name with “Founder's Edition.”
>There are not two GTX 1080 models made by nVidia. Only the “Founder's Edition” exists; there is not a cheaper card made by nVidia than the $700 Founder's Edition, which ships first.
>The “Founder's Edition” is not specially binned.
>The “Founder's Edition” is not pre-overclocked.
>The “Founder's Edition” uses the new reference cooler. The cooler is more-or-less identical to the previous reference models.
>This card is not "limited edition," despite its name that would indicate as much, and will run production through the life of the GTX 1080 product line.
Why would I be excited for a card that can only do 1080p?
>>337030451
>wait for benchmarks
honestly, not even him, i don't need a benchmark to tell me that nvidia is going to have the best top-end GPU this gen
>>337030642
>buying reference coolers
the only ones getting shafted are water-coolers, who have the money anyways, and dumbasses that don't know what a reference cooler is so fuck them
>>337030127
currently using a 4GB Vram 680 but im planning on upgrading next year around spring break. Im probably going to get a 1080. What CPU should I get?
>>337030338
You do know they defective items right?
Or did you break it on purpose?
>>337030712
This. Pascal is a good design. theyve shown that on the business and AI side.
>>337030695
ikr my current card does 7870
I cant wait to actually be able to play games at this resolution all the time
Inb4 devs care even less about optimisation after this
>>337030127
I don't think you're going to get single card 60fps performance at 4k with that card. It's not wildly better than the titan x and it still struggles a lot with open world games.
Source, I have a titan x.
>>337030712
>i don't need a benchmark
good goys like you is how you can sell cards that only run 75% of the RAM announced on the package.
>>337030484
spoken like a true console babby
>>337030943
I bought it on the last day of a promotion for the tomb raider game and Amazon fucked up sending the codes to where they sent me like 4 invalid codes for the game. Ended up not being able to get the game.
Fast forward 2 months later (1 month warranty was even up) and I used it as the reason for why I was requesting the return, and also saying that I was even more annoyed because the new GPUs are coming out and I need to return this GPU to afford it.
I'm guessing they let me slide because they know I'll probably be using their service to pre-order the card anyway. They did the same thing for my relative who bought the card later than I did too, so maybe they're just letting people refund 970s if bought within the year.
>>337031941
Yeah I'm sure me owning a console is why you will magically get 60 fps on 4 time the screen size of current gen by just getting 1.5* more processing power on your new card. Makes perfect sense.
>>337032120
Sure. Beggers can be choosy it seems.
>>337032023
In EU there is no such thing as "1 month warranty", you're guaranteed 2 years of warranty no matter what the product producer even says. Unless you mean purchase return which I believe is 1 to 3 months in EU depending on country.
Anyhow you could've easily just cited finding out about 3.5 as defect and they are obliged to take it.
>>337030943
I literally return shit all the time saying it's broken/defective
i always get my money back
>>337030127
If everything goes well and AMD doesn't step it up I'll pick up a 1080ti.
>>337031747
Titan X is moreso designed for architect builds like the K series video cards. Why else would it have 12gb VRAM. The build you have is the best for all around performance but when it comes to gaming the 1080 will stomp your Titan X by a lot especially with 4k.
>>337030889
I don't know what either of those are, will I get shafted if I get the reference edition?
>>337030127
No because my 670 is still enough for all the ugly shit the industry is throwing out currently.
And if theres a good looking game once or twice a year it still holds up easily.
>>337030127
1070 is fucking awesome and for 350 bucks.
>>337032120
>Witcher 3 gets 45 fps max settings on 980ti for 4k
>the improvement of the new card is 1.5x greater
What are you talking about anon, the improvement is more than enough for a 15fps increase.
will be buying a 1070 in december/january when at the black friday sales or when they drop the 1080 and 1070 prices down to accommodate for the 1080 ti release.
get hype
If you already have a 980 or even a 970 and you want to upgrade you're literally retarded
>They announce a new line of graphic cards
>The next fucking day my GPU starts hitting temps of 97c
i cant be fucked to change the thermal past either
No i'm not actually. Expensive as hell (poorfag),
and i dont need 4k resolution for Games like...
Rollercoaster Tycoon (OpenRCT2)
Hotline Miami 2
Oddworld New n Tasty
Counterstrike 1.6
Metal Gear Solid GZ

Also, how the hell can someone get "excited" about Hardware?

>>337032220
logic isn't your forte it seems. Whatever. A fool and his money...
This card should be £50. Am sorry its true.
>>337032702
Try a different driver
>>337032453
it doesn't even stomp the 980ti.
I'm good with what I've got. I'll be passing on this gen all together most likely.
>>337032120
>4 time the screen size
4k is not 4x 1080, it's 3840x2160. That is 2x 1920x1080. You console kids sure are adorable.
>>337032862

relative performance is the only value casuals need to know when comparing cards. obviously bar graphs are dumb as fuck and misrepresentative, but there's nothing wrong with measuring relative performance
>>337033180
hurrrrrrrrrr
>>337033180
Holy shit please learn to count.
>>337033306
What this guy said. Think of it this way 1080p = 1920x1080 which is a 16:9 box. 3840x2160 is NOT just twice of that. Doubling that 1920x1080 box is 1920x2160 or 3840x1080, you're missing HALF of the 3840x2160. 4k is literally 4 times the pixels of 1080p.
>>337033407
How is a product a meme? What do you think meme means?
>>337033408
It could say average fps on it and nothing would change.
I have a 960 and I only have a 1080p 60hz monitor so I'm not really going to but that anytime soon. I also don't have any VR devices.
me dad is getting 300k in three months
should I get this? He's giving me 10k to build a peecee so I fuck away from his new car
>>337033545
what does this have to do with square roots? the gain is (3840*2160)/(1920*1080) which is 4
>>337033743
How old are you?
>>337033610
You could just simplify it for the moron. 1080p is 2million pixels. 2160p is 8million pixels.
>>337033180
ohhhh I hope this is someone's very good bait.
Oh what do you know it's 3840x2160 after making this picture.

Way better off waiting till Polaris if you have no card at all or a broken one, in the meanwhile. Otherwise waiting until next year when games are using the cards to see how they actually perform.
Source: I have a 1080p monitor yet thanks to AMD MAGIC I can play games in 4k, and it's not really worth it unless you're playing a pretty slow game.
>>337034004
AMD is never on par with Nvidia
They're always going to be second class
No one can deny this
You pay for the performance and stability which Nvidia gives
AMD is for people that don't have a steady job or life
>>337034080
Or maybe I wanted to know from someone that isn't a fat virgin that think he's an adult because he understand his video games.
>>337034091
Yes, but what does that have to do with square ROOTS, dummy?
>>337033743
Maybe you should first decide - What kind of games are you going to play? What kind of display will you use? VR? Fucking research before considering components you fuckwit.
when you can answer at least some of those questions, if you're still unsure someone might actually be willing to help you.

I will wait until consumers and consumer-level press have the cards in-hand and are capable to perform independent testing. Does AMD also release yearly?

Hint: WHQL is just qualifications, but are otherwise meaningless. AMD consistently updated whenever they felt like, and they only released a WHQL update to correspond with Vulkan's release. That's it.
Nice one lying and thinking you can get away with it though
>Twitter screencaps
I'm pretty excited, but:
1. Bitcoin miners are going to take all the cards for months
2. I'm gonna wait until people actually get their hands on it and see the REAL stress tests, not just marketing from Nvidia
3. All newer games will use the 1080 as the standard, not look that much better than games from last year, but still require WAY higher specs to run
>>337030127
I'll get the other card down the line, no point in getting a 4K setup unless I go all out and I'm not investing that amount of money on a PC.
>>337034235
>AMD is never on par with Nvidia
lol is that why the 390 is doing better in every non gameworks benchmark over the 970 and 980?
Nvidia is literally releasing downsized rehashed maxwell chips, yet they are marketing them as if they are "NEXT GEN GAMER APPROVED".

Meanwhile nobody can get Hitman to run consistently unless they have something roughly like a R9 390.

So as far as VIDEO GAMES goes and not jpgs, I'd rather go VR first over maxing out resolution.

I hate goyworks too anon, but you can't deny that our drivers are pretty fucken shit so far this year with no hope of improvement. 390 is my last AMD card, tired of being locked out of so many games just to save a couple bucks.
>>337034865

The 970 is the one with problems, especially on Windows 10.
>>337034906
As someone who needs a new gpu/mobo/cpu right now, do I wait for the 1070 or get a 970 and upgrade later?
I only really play ffxiv and maybe nuMoO and ss13
>>337035158
$380+ and faster than a Titan X/980ti so says Nvidia
>>337035306
Maybe it would be wiser to get a cheap-ass GPU instead on a 970.
>>337035306
There's no reason to get a Maxwell card anymore
>>337035306

>>337033062
I'm impressed. Not just the hardware but the temps as well. How much did that monster set you back? I'm still able to run current games on customized High setting at 48-60 fps. But i feel my time is limited due to the age of my hardware. Might start putting pennies in a jar for a new rig later in the year.
>$700 reference card

Love how a PS4 F2P MOBA is literally the face of next-gen GPUs.
>>337035458
sorry your nvidia can't handle above 60+ fps
>>337035469
Honestly I'd have to look at invoices, just the rig itself I believe was in the 3500 ballpark. All said and done my setup was somewhere between 10~15k.
I think it's very exciting. As someone who has been buying 3d accelerator cards since 1995 (!) I can tell you young chaps that the pascal architecture is one of the most relatively powerful architectures of all time in this arena, if not THE most relatively powerful (based on price, time of release etc.)
It's truly some amazingly engineered stuff and their intent is to outright kill AMD out of the PC enthusiast market.
However, as a guy in my mid 30s, I no longer have any idea what I'd want a super powerful video card for. VR I guess,but the startup cost for vive is too high and I feel like it's actually not something I want to invite into my life-- I think home VR will be very bad for social relationships for the human species
>>337035460
Or even a 950. Those games you mentioned aren't very demanding.

bitch please. i can't even be bothered to go into detail but anyone with a fucking braincell will know 99% of what he's said is either massively speculated or just down right deluded. his "amd will win because consoles" is out the window now as well after intel and nvidia also have contracts to make the next upgradable xbox's.
do your own research before you listen to these shills. they imply everything they say will happen like its an ideal world.
>>337035138
drivers "sucks" because AMD DOESNT have the money to literally send a team of graphics engineer to all the AAA devs in the world to fix their fucking mistakes
"drivers" is a fucking poor excuse as they're just a massive BLOAT of fixes and hacks to mask gamedevs incompetence
you look at any indie game that actually relies on dev''s competence and you'll see an overwhelming performance increase on amd cards
and yeah I'm a nvidia cuck because I needed a CUDA card for a project my dumbass of a friend was developing ( which btw would have ran twice as fast using OpenCL )
NVIDIA is abusing their position of power since ATI/AMD's lump in 2012 and I fucking hate it
>>337034506

I'm thinking about selling this PC to a friend and building a new one soon.
What would be a fair price?
I ran the 3dmark bench test and got a 7422.
>>337036371
i'm excited about the 1070, and if at least some version of it ends up being ~$350 then my friend might buy me one.
>>337036486
not here, no.
I'm more worried about AMD going bankrupt and only offering support for their console hardware division while in chapter 11 to slow the bleeding.
>>337036486
As someone who updated through every driver, it literally works on my machine :^)
Now with Vulkan we can actually put this to rest by CrossSLI'ng both an AMD and Nvidia card together and see which half of the PC fails first.

would it even be worth getting a 1080 with that CPU, or would it just hold the 1080 back?
I want to upgrade from my 680 just because as powerful as it is, it runs so damn hot, but I'm not holding out hope for the 980 to get a significant reduction in price, and at least the 1080 is ridiculously powerful
Here's your fresh dose of $350 meme

Cheers. What did you graduate with, if you dont mind me asking?
I'm aimed to be done spring 2017 with a bachelors degree in Marketing Management. Where I'll go with it currently though, i am not sure.
Yo am I better of SLIing 780s or buying a 1080?
>>337037049
Buy a 1080. The 7XX cards have been rendered obsolete.

1080.
They announced that it's stronger than 2x980.
The sooner you replace the 780s the better btw
>>337037276
>The sooner the better
>>337037214
whatever you say kid, your dumb AMD memes still doesn't change the fact that the 970 is dead and Pascal is going to be a meme like Maxwell.
I'm "rocking" a GTX960
Should I upgrade? I have 300 dollarinos.
>>337037214
So wait is AdoredTV faulty because he made a video pretty much only citing Anandtech for Nvidia being lying scumbags with benchmarks, or is he just picking them on a bad day?
>>337036968
even using more vram than the card has it shouldn't drop your fps like that. I would recommend downloading the WHQL drivers and installing, see if it fixes the issue.
Source? I have a 770 with 2gb vram and I ran 60fps max when it recommended 4.
>>337037454
See if you can refund the card at amazon.

>>337037049
Yes absolutely. Even with SLI about half games out there don't even support SLI. You can check this even with a lot of modern games have no SLI support. Single card is sadly the way to go
>>337037537
I didn't buy it on Amazon
How much money do I need for a good upgrade? I don't need 2 monitors/4K.
>>337037454
What do you play ? What's your target frame-rate ? Can you comprise on not blindly setting everything in-game on Ultra ?
I have a 770 which is very similar to your 960 and I get more than 200fps in competitive games on low settings ( because who cares ) and in-between 45-80fps on modern AAA stuff on high settings

>Talk about the 1080?
In all honesty, I'll probably get the 1070 unless it has another 3.5-tier meme issue.
Waiting for benchmarks/price drops/AMD before going with a legit GPU. Until then, im using my old 750Ti as it does fine with all the PC games I currently own.
Also, I'm not going to buy a reference card.
I also have a Ps3, Ps4 and xbone to keep me busy till then, but I'll likely give the xbone to a friend because I never actually play it

If $300 is all you have then save your fucking money. 960 is fine and will be fine for years. Hell a 660 is still viable these days
>>337037276
>>337037093
Have the 700 series (specifically the 780) become THAT obsolete compared to the 1000 series? I remember the 780 outperformed the Titan on some margins and, if SLId, give you over a 100% performance increase
>>337037570
>that picture
What's the matter, is that res all your 3.5gb can handle?
>>337037570
you forget that AMD powers PS4, Xbone, Wii U, and soon the Nintendo NX.
they have more influence in gaming than Nvidia ever has.
>>337037765
It outperformed it on things that don't really matter.
They're just very inefficient on power consumption and heat

Kind of. I have to see the performance. I've been dying to upgrade my monitor above 1080p for a long while, and really don't want to have to dump 800-1000 bucks on two SLId cards just to get the same performance I get now at a higher resolution.
If these cards have enough juice to let me enjoy high settings at 60 fps and 1440p or better with just one I'll be thrilled.
Though the lack of hardware demanding games for the immediate future does kind of make me hesitant. Probably going to wait for the 1080 ti and buy the fuck out of that.
>>337037673
Well I mostly emulate PS2/Wii games and occasionaly play some new games like Dark Souls 3, MGSV
High in AAA games should be enough for me.
>>337037929
Mate seriously, if you want to deride someone who actually gives fucking sources in this shithole of an Internet, learn to fucking to type for a start.
Also forgetting I posted a video of him pointing out AMD also tries to influence benchmarks but then what do you fucking expect since Nvidia slides lots of shit like FUCKING GAMEWORKS to botch them in their favour anyway.
If him working for AMD is so important to you, might want to tell us why he's undermining them on a youtube channel they surely must be aware of by now.
>>337036968
My comp has 2x gtx 780 running in sli and I play that game with everything except grass density maxed out and it runs 60fps no problem at 1440p with 2x MSAA. I only have 3GB vram to play with.
The settings in that pic have been purposefully set up so that when vram is used up performance drops. The 970 is not a flagship card. They have maxed out the settings and increased AA to get this problem. All you would have to do is drop AA down to 2x and you could easily play that game at 1080p with high settings, perfectly reasonable for the 3rd strongest card in that series.
>>337037812
Doesn't Nvidia do planned obsolescence? You have to replace your cards every 2 years or else they start making your card perform worse with newer drivers.
>>337034235
390 is shitting on the 970 nvidiacuck
I'm excited how I'll be able to get a cheap gtx980 when they release
>>337038157
Nvidia defence force here to miss the point and talk about how it's okay there's a massive glaring flaw in what the card was marketed as and the system itself believes to be the case, because you can run GTAV.
Not the fact it was used as a clear case where there IS a problem and it's not just hearsay based on experience. There's a fucking VRAM counter there, like in Max Payne 3.
>fell for the AMD asynch meme
>fell for the windows 10 meme

JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP
>>337037765
the amount of VRAM became obsolete, yes
give us, I-I mean those Nvidia guys a small loan of 600 dollars
>>337037818
>they have more influence in gaming than Nvidia ever has.
there 3 time more xbox 360's, ps3's and nintendo wii's in circulating and being sold than there are xbox one's and ps4's
xbox360: ibm
>84 million units
ps3:nvidia
>83 million units
wii: ibm
>100 million units
= ~260 million units in circulation, with games still being made
ps4: amd
>35 million units
xbox one: amd
>20 million units
= ~55 million units with console sales decreasing month on month
amd barely owns the console market. and with microsoft giving intel and nvidia contracts to build the new upgradable pc's with their own hardware (along with amd), they'll gain as much from it as amd will.

Sony jumped ship from PS3 architecture being retarded and special snowflake to AMD, because of GCN.
You're posted about consoles in a time before GCN.
Now Vulkan is out, consoles didn't actually become less relevant to boot.

It gets 130-200FPS with Vulkan in Doom 4, maxed out 1080p.
We can't directly compare to the other cards at the moment because they were done with the 60 FPS cap on and in DX. But we can compare the minimums. A 970 had a minimum of around 55 while the 1080 had a minimum of around 130. The question is, how much does Vulkan increase or hurt performance compared to DX?
since this is a computer thread, i need you to recommend me a new, affordable mouse /v/.
my mouse is dying.
4k or 1440p?
Anyone have an idea of how low the 900 series price will drop? I want to get a 970 but they're still ~$300 on amazon and newegg
>>337032264
Fucking scum! You know nothing is ever free, and other anons have to pay for your shit. Too bad Amazon is so nice and doesn't ban bastards like you for life
>Tfw still on a GTX 560Ti
I'm waiting for info on the 1060.
>>337038635
>falling for the 970 meme
>>337031024
Damn. That's a hundred p higher than mine.
Maybe it's time to upgrade.

Do you think, they are your friend?
they find out your lies and they will put you on the black list for fraud
>>337038585
deathadder. I hate razer and its gayman line of snake green shit. But this mouse is superb.
>>337038593
The reason why you would go 1440p instead of 4k is because of the fps boost. But with the 1080 I expect 4k will be doable at 60fps.

>not trying to look neutral whilst being a shill
i actually confronted the guy asking why he has so much hate for everything non amd and i got a lot of hate from his fanboy followers and he replied back to me calling me nvidia scum and then deleted my comment and his own. the guy is clearly not making his videos to be neutral. if he is why doesn't he also make an nvidia master plan or intel master plan?
i wish i had screenshotted what he said to me.
>people still posting outdated benchmarks from individual games
Here are bench results from less than a month ago taken over a large number of games. Overall, AMD is currently winning, Nvidia may have had better performance when the 3xx series first launched but driver updates have turned that around since the AMD cards were superior on paper and the performance now reflects it. The only area that Nvidia wins is the very high end with the 980 ti which is imo the only reason to buy an Nvidia card from the 9xx series in any case.
>>337038593
1440p@120Hz is the only answer
>>337038876
Yeah but surely at only 27 inches the difference between 1440p and 4k is impossible to see
when will we know for sure that we're not getting jewed by this series like what happened with the 970?
>>337030127
>GTX 1080
AMD should be smart and call their GPUs 4K series (4K80, 4K90, 4K FURY etc)
>>337038301
I couldn't give a fuck what cards people buy, I'm not loyal to any company. That pic is hilarious calling the 970 a "flagship" card when there are two more powerful in the 900 series alone, and thinks it should be able to run a modern open world game full HD at max setting and 4X AA. The 4GB vram issue that card had was a shit move by them in how it was handled but the problem isn't anywhere near as bad and info like in that image is just desperation to make it one.
>>337038878
I'll wait for 1080ti then
I only have an i5-3570k will a GTX 1070 be a good purchase or will I fuck up?
I cannot justify a whole new PC to my mum, but a GPU can slip unnoticed
>>337038635
At best, expect 970s to drop to $300 but only briefly.
Merchants are used to these product cycles and are very good about selling stock before they have to slash prices.
>>337038532
No hes the head of Goo Linus or Goo plus the linus seed
>>337038995
that would retarded but then again gamers are the dumbest audience you can market to.
>>337038906
what games were benchmarked in the list?
>>337039086
Jew plus Linux?
if you buy any card above a 980 you're retarded. no game on ultra will require better than that, focus on getting a new processor and more ram.
>>337039060
I'd say change the proc first
>>337039110
From a high level, we tested each card on a high-end PC (4.2GHz overclocked i7-5930K), at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K with Ultra settings at the lower resolutions and Ultra or High at 4K. We included results from eight games, some newer and some slightly older: Batman: Arkham Origins, Fallout 4, GTAV, Hitman: Absolution, Metro: Last Light, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider 2013, and The Witcher 3. Here's how they stack up in terms of average and minimum frame rates across these games:
Just made this. Only took tests pitting only the 970 and the 390, but there are others were these two cards are involved.
>>337039060
I got the same CPU and also want to know if it'll just bottleneck one of these 1000 series cards
>>337039060
Depends on the games you play
Some that are cpu intensive like GTA V will have some lower performance, but overclocking can help to a degree
I just got a 7950 and a P2415Q. I don't really care. I won't be bothering with upgrading anything until a couple more years. I only play a couple 2-3 games anyway.
>>337039060
>I cannot justify a whole new PC to my mum, but a GPU can slip unnoticed
The fuck has your mum got to do with anything
>>337038943
Stop calling it 1440p and no you can definetly see jaggies even at 2560x1440.
4k is better than WQHD, but price is a limiting factor. Good 4k panels are still $1000+ and to properly drive 4k you need a $600-$700 GPU.
Better to buy a good WQHD panel than a bad 4k panel.
>>337038906
I checked their website out and they're recommending me a 970. I guess I'll get that then.
>>337038906
Just use TPU. They keep their game list up to date and benchmark a decent amount of games (15 in this one, has usually been a bit higher).
