How fucked am I?
>>337344756
>Buys GTX 980 Ti
>Max every game
>Games are shit
I'd say you are pretty fucked
>>337344756
oh nice, i got the 970 version of that one. It's a really good card, but vastly expensive until it dies down. I was forced to get a new card since my last died and the jews at NVIDIA had removed every single 700-series card in existance, so i had to choose between no gaman or suffer a expensive blow, but back 2 vidya
>>337344923
Why didn't you wait for Pascal Marshmellow edition GPUs?
You're as fucked as OP.
>>337344756
Nigga, I'm rolling with 770 and still can't see myself upgrading yet.
A 980 will let you max any game you want for the next 4 years so.
>he fell for the ti meme
>>337344756
SELL IT QUICK
It'll soon be worthless
>>337345060
same, unless you want to run every single game at max graphics, a 770 still does its job.
>>337344756
Why are you fucked? That's a top of the line GPU that should max out your games at 1080p for a few years to come.
>>337345118
No you fucking mong you just buy another one for the cheap price they'll go for and get better performance than Pascal Marshmellow GPUs
>>337345093
Only retards eat up Nvidia's dipshit arbitrary graphs. Wait for actual game benchmarks.
>>337345479
Fuck you, you AMD shill. Nvidia > Life itself.
>>337345519
I own an Nvidia card currently...stop sucking corporate dick, fanboy.
>>337344756
Sell it used for a price of a GTX 970 NOW, and pray some pleb uys it from you
or have the 1070 released, people are going to guy that new instead
>>337345190
>>337345060
this, just wish i'd gotten the 4GB variant
>>337345519
> gimps sure loves their gimps
980ti will probably be as good as the 1080 in normal games
They dodged comparing the 1080 to the 980ti directly.
>in VR!
>in SLI!
>>337344756
you were fucked 2 months ago
>>337345190
Maxing out games is kinda pointless nowadays, since most recent console ports look almost the same on Medium and Ultra.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6xTnRRTunc
>>337345118
>2-way SLI
fucking idiot, paying even more for a non-efficient setup
you could have bought the 1080 for even cheaper and yet still get faster and more efficient result than 2x 980ti
>>337346149
idiot spotted
>AMD
https://youtu.be/8lTGk0R12gs
>>337344756
ahahahahahahahahahahah, you fucking idiot.
Return that shit ASAP. The 1080 is about to come out and it cost less than your 980 while giving better preformance.
>>337346513
How do you return a 2 month old card? I bought a 970 about 3 months ago and now after seeing the 1070 I want to buy that instead. How can I take it back and convince them to give me my money back?
>>337344756
Less fucked than those plebs who bought a 980 and anything below that. The 980Ti is the only worthwhile NVIDIA card since all the others are on par with or outperformed by AMD's 290/390.
You're good anon. The 1080 might give 10-15 extra frames or so, don't bother.
>1080 has only a 256 bit bus

>>337347113
explain why bit bus matters?
>>337347113
I don't get this either. Is this new GDDR5x tech that much better they don't need it bigger?
>>337347290
it doesn't anymore
not since 2000 fucking 14, even earlier than that
>>337347290
gddr5x can't get even 2/3 of it's spec speeds that's why
also most console prots stream assets -> better general performance if memory is decent
>>337347310
yeah, and what's the point if it's bottlenecked
I don't want to play high end games, just stuff like Darksouls 3 a little better. Go for a GTX 980 now or wait for a 1070 next month?
>>337347549
1070
900 series just aint worth it
I got an AMD 390
did I fuck up
>>337347549
1070. Cheaper and better.
>>337347683
>cheaper
In the US maybe. I am sure Euro will be at least €500.
>>337347290
http://wccftech.com/micron-gddr5x-memory-analysis-nvidia-pascal-graphic-card/
ready through this
>>337347639
nope, you'll still get proper support and WILL climb your way up to a gtx 980 level as more newer DX12 comes out
on the other hand, a gtx 970 will suffer hard, the 380 will get close to its level
>>337346858
You don't
You suck up the fact that you're an impatient baby who had to get a card now despite the warnings that a new line was imminent
Will the gtx1080 be overkill if I don't want 4K? Currect monitor is still at 1080p and I don't think I'll ever change it unless it breaks.
Looking to upgrade from a shitty 650ti. Don't intend to play the flavor of the month triple A titles, don't like fps, moba or hybrids of them. Also are the various brands like MSI,Asus,Gigabyte etc gonna be at a higher or lower price from the estimated original?
How badly would 4670K bottleneck 1070?
>>337347832
thanks anon.
>>337347882
It would be overkill, yes.
>>337347914
It won't.
>>337347639
The only thing i don't like in it is the temps the rest is top notch.
>>337347882
branded, non-reference cards all have custom coolers and will be more expensive
>>337347939
but really tho... how long ago was it?
>>337348063
I'm not at home right now, do you know how many display ports the card has?
>>337347882
'overkill' just means that the card will last 3 years longer
so if i'm building a PC soon i probably should wait for the new cards to release or?
>>337346858
>>337344756
You should always buy EVGA for Nvidia. They have a trade up program for 90 days. So if you bought it 2 months ago, you could still trade up to the 1080 and all you would have to pay for it shipping
>>337348136
> looking to upgrade to a 1080
> not looking forward to play majority of the games
what?
just stick with the shitty 650ti and wait for the new $200 gtx 1060 / r9 480
>>337347801
Why? Yuropoor asking. Planning on getting one for only $370. Why is it so much more over here?
I can't wait for the day when nvidia releases a new card, but all it does is display a picture of a man's testicles
Does anyone know how loud the stock cooler on the 1080 compared to something like the 770 twin frozr?
>>337344756
You were already fucked when you bought nvidia
>>337347914
Bottlenecking CPUs is an overhyped issue and won't happen for any decent i5 CPU after Sandy Bridge.
>>337347882
Unless you're rich, I wouldn't go above the 1070. Estimating from what you said, the 1070 will probaby already be overkill for you.
>>337348260
if you really need a card to power up your games do get current lineups
but really, it's just a month away
anyway what's your budget
>>337348004
>It would be overkill, yes.
Even so I was kinda betting on it being cheap since the estimated prices are implying that a bit. Then again wishful thinking since they'll inflate the prices and what >>337348136 is saying. I really am hoping it'll stay at the 500€ range but who am I kidding right?
>>337348213
Story of my fucking life.
>Fuck yeah I can play motherfucking prototype on this sweet HD4850!
>1 year in and obsolete.
>Fuck yeah I can play motherfucking Dark Souls on this sweet 650ti!
>Nothing else is even playable without downgrading to 720p and pray.
I just want a GPU that might last more than 2 years.
>>337348538
Yeah, I figure the price for the 1080 wont even be what I imagine it will be.
>>337348459
it's not even reviewed yet
it hasn't even reached those 'tech-gurus'
>>337348642
about 900-1000€
>>337348191
2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port
>>337348490
AMD yes, but even for an Intel, the 970 / 390 is the most an i5 should push
anything beyond that is best paired with the i7, even more with the more powerful 1070
>>337348704
You can expect third party GTX 1070's to be sold at the 400-450€ range while GTX 1080's will be 600€+.
>>337348761
also forgot to mention that i already got a case for free which is a BitFenix Shinobi Window ATX Mid Tower Case
>>337348704
70 or 80 tier cards usually carry you 4 years on ultra/high and longer if you settle for low/medium.
My GTX660 is 4 years old, and only since 6-12 months I've started to tweak settings to low/medium to get ~50FPS in games.
>>337348761
Total budget? Or GPU budget. If total, go 1070, but wait for reviews.
>>337347914
>>337348490
it won't severely limit the 1070 to the point you'd consider it to be a bottleneck
but you could still squeeze much more from it
do remember the Skylake i3 6100 is already 10% faster than the Sandy i7 2600 in single threaded apps
>>337348704
>4850
how old is your rig?
>buying a 1080
Hope you guys plan on doing something productive with it other than playing childrens games
>>337344756
sleep TI-ght pupper
>>337344756
You can max all settings of all games on it atm as long as you're running 1080p. Will all be 60fps.
>>337348895
>>337348959
Thanks for the bunch of info anons. I'll hold out until Sept-Oct and see how things will have progressed by then.
One last thing. In terms of GPU I mostly have it down but what about the CPU? Since I'm reading about bottlenecking issues in the thread I might as well ask about mine. Recently upgraded to an i5 6500. Will I be okay?
>>337349371
I was talking more about when I eventually bought my 1st real rig in 2009. Even then it was pretty underwhelming but it worked. Recently upgraded the foundations, CPU/RAM/motherboard. This is how it is now.The high temp on motherboard is a bug and it can't even recognize the DDR4 RAM
>>337348490
This.
You can literally run it on an Athlon X2 and the estimated bottleneck for it is at around 8%.
It used to be an issue when VGA was still a thing, but with the 16x express ports there is virtually no bottleneck, especially considering that the majority of modern games are GPU heavy.
>>337349810
The i5 6500 will be fine. Difference to an overclocked i5 or i7 will be minimal in most games.
Those mobo temps tho.
>>337350078
Don't worry anon, I'm perfectly fine here, the flames are gently caressing me, it doesn't even hurt anymore. I love you anons.
>>337349810
> bretty gud
yeah stick wait for the 1070
>>337349907
> athlon x2
> gtx1070
what a tard
>>337350647
It's more a efficient upgrade than upgrading your CPU, cost-wise. Try and learn something about hardware before you spout LE MAYMAYS around.
So I have this brand new r9 390 with me but I need a new power unit to use it, should I buy the new psu or return the $500 card, if so, what card should I buy? Please help I am new to graphics cards.
>>337345093
nice graph, thanks for reposting it. im a nvidia rep and i have this new exciting graph to show you guys
>>337346513
>The 1080 is about to come out and it cost less than your 980
980ti currently retailed at $500 ~ $550.
1080 msrp price is about $599, but it is estimated to be a bit more than that for a decent third party cooler.
The third party version will be shipped about 2 ~ 3 weeks after the 'Founder' package shipped.
Also
>GTX1080 about 20% better than 980ti, both on stock
>clock per clock it is actually worse than 980ti

I need to invest in Nvidia, you retards gobble this shit up without a second thought. I bought a 770 2GB in 2014 and most likely won't upgrade for another year or so. Before that my 5770 worked like a champ for almost 4 years. I'd be interested to know what % of nvidia sales are impulse buys from dullards who need to experience that bleeding edge new shiny feel.
>>337352213
tell me how do you feel
> 770 is better than the 280x then
> 280x surpasses the 770 in 2015
> 280x beats the 380, the 960, 770,680 in that order
> it's now climbing its way towards the 780 and even 780ti
>>337352213
>I need to invest in Nvidia
This is how i bought the PC I am using. Bought stock during the recession, sold around the time the 980 was released. Mad profits
>>337352213
it's not the impulse buyer but more like new buyers
if you had the 970/980 for a year+ now, there's nothing wrong upgrading this quickly
but for those new buyers looking to get a new card and are getting the Maxwell THIS LATE, it's so fucking stupid, Pascal is literally just weeks away
Is a GTX970 good to buy right now?
2 years ago i almost spent 1k on my first pc rig. Thankfully I took time and thought about it and took the safe bet and bought a PS4. thankfully I made the right choice as PS4 as surpassed pc gaming in every way and has the best games. I wouldn't be able to play Bloodborne or Uncharted 4 (considered the 2 only masterpiece video games in the past 5 years). Not only that but I can play with all my friends since nobody socially plays PC game online multiplayer anymore, and the graphics for console games have just about surpasses PC games now. I really dodged a bullet, and I know I would have regretted getting a gaming pc.
>>337352860
Fine because I didn't have to put up with shit drivers and nuclear meltdown temps for 3 years. Power consumption is a huge factor that nobody every does the math on. If your card has nearly double the usage then it could easily add up to an extra $150 in electric bill costs in a year. Most of you will probably never have a job though, so I guess it's a moot point.
>>337350973
spot the salty 980 TI owner lmfao. enjoy cucked by nvidias drivers, if you want the best you'll need a gtx 1080 :^)

>>337348340
This. Also, their warranty service is top notch.
>>337353816
in that case you should probably go for the 970. just keep in mind that the card craps itself once you use more than 3.5gb of vram and that the 1070 is right around the corner.
>>337354197
>the card craps itself once you use more than 3.5gb of vram
What does that mean? Do other cards not do that? I have a 650 right now, and it never seemed to care much if I went over the vram.
>>337353816
390 nigga
In euroland how much will the 960, 970 cards be in a month/two?
I am waiting for 960 to be 150 euro
>>337354426I don't know if I want to get AMD. I've seen too many cases of games getting fucked by drivers on release.
>>337354418
>What does that mean?
nvidia advertised the card as having 4gb of vram. in reality it has 3.5+.5gb of vram. the last 500mb are practically on a worse chip and cause a massive slowdown once it's being accessed.

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-memory-issue-fully-explained/
however this is just what i've heard on /g/, i do not own the card, so i couldn't test it myself.
>Do other cards not do that?
no, that's why i said that the 970 wasn't a good buy.
personally i would just save up a little bit more money and get a card that actually has the advertised specs.
>>337354768
Oh, I see. Should I really go for the 390 then?Sorry I'm asking all these dumb questions, but the sites I checked didn't mention any of this
>>337355254
probably, pic related. the r9 390 is basically the same as the r9 290 in this benchmark.
nvidia cards usually perform better on release of a new games, while amd take a month or two to optimize their drivers, after which they outperform nvidia cards in most games. i own a 980ti and now i wish i had bought a fury x instead. but then again, i've had bad experiences with amd (or rather: ati) cards in the past, most of the time driver issues.
it's your choice: if you go for the 970, you usually get better drivers and better day 1 experiences, if you go for the 390 you get better hardware and more improvements over time.
if you can just wait a little longer, see what the 1070 and amd's polaris hold in store.

>>337345060
This is bullshit. So many games run sub 60 on a 770.

Im definitely upgrading from my 770
