TL;DR, what's this shitty Founders option? premium content?
>>337915686
A shiny sticker.
There was a thread about this 2 days ago I think.
Was talking about how AMD has no endgame graphics chip for the next year, but they still survive due to mid tech focus and deals with consoles, etc. They also have a chip that should prove alright eventually, but Nvidia is dominating many future breakthroughs.
Also most games the last 4 years never fully utilised all cores 'Nvidia holds a bit of the blame' but now this card as the ones before it can just brute force it's way to the top.
Now, we just need games that will make the most of it. Does PC have anything good?
>>337915315
Is there any news about the ti model?
>>337915686
Shitty cooler and power limit that limit OC potential.
Wait for custom models. Expect moon prices.
>>337915914
AMD's flagship HBM2 GPU is due next year first before Nvidia since AMD secured R&D earlier.
That will push future breakthroughs over Nvidias downsized Maxwell chip AKA Pascal.
>>337915686
to keep the reference design around longer so it can compete with aftermarket coolers
>>337915315
Considering I have a shit ton of games on Steam that are dated prior to 2012 and I need an upgrade soon (Radeon 5450 HD wooohoo), is the investment worth it?
>>337915315
>buying nvidia cards after all the shit they've pulled
It perform better, but nothing impressive.
Around 30% better than 980ti on average, but
>stock clock is 1.6mghz
>barely any overclock headroom
>80c ~ 85c on load
So the rumour that saying it perform worse than 980ti clock per clock is accurate.
>>337915315
>there are people that are gonna buy refrence cards at release date
>>337915315
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cLYn937ZFE
Yeah, nvidia lobbies are hard at work.
Gotta quickly sell that overpriced shit because a $400 console is about to play 4K.
I don't have $600 to blow on a video card, so I'm going to wait and see if the 1070 isn't misrepresented in regards to memory, and has proper build quality, unlike the previous generation's more affordable option.
>Rehashed Maxwell chips
Boring
Wait for next year when the real next gen leap happens with HBM2, VR and games will take full advatange of it especially with DX12 and Vulkan APIs.

>>337915315
I'll wait for the non reference 1070.
So what free game do I get for buying it?
>>337916067
>>337916113
Unfortunatly I would of been more sympathetic to AMDs plight if I didn't have a bad history with their cards. Probably due to bad luck, but their shit never lasted more than a year and half for me, with the last time I got one whirring like an apache chopper.
As of now AMD use using the marketing term potential since there hasn't been a stellar product for a while, there's always been a draw for their best selling cards. Noise pollution the biggest grievance for me.
>>337916496
DX12 is a meme desu

>>337916496

>>337915315
Speaking of shit cards, I have a 7850 that is in dire need of replacing.
I was thinking of going with the 380, but it seems the card is garbage. What card should I get for around $300 dollars? I can go up a bit more if needed.
So should I throw my 980ti or not

What's the point of these new cards? Every game runs at 60+ FPS maxed out with a 970 unless you're trying to play at a meme 4K resolution

>>337916906
I ran both with my 770 just fine on youtube.
so, thinking about getting the 1070 when it comes out, but here in slavland it'll probably cost around 700 euros, and i was wondering how much would it cost me to ship it from america plus tax and shit, seeing how it will cost 300 and something in america but a hige fucking price jump here.
>>337916906
Silky smooth 30fps using the YouTube emulator.
>>337917000
I want a card for VR and I want to use a 1440p 144Hz monitor.
Why don't they use games that will really see big jumps, like fucking Arma 3 instead of DOOM ?
>>337917038

Bruh, I have a 780 and Star Citizen runs like shit on my pc
>>337916906
Not running it at all is still better than 10 fps with 10+ minutes long load times.
>>337916812

Don't you remember the fate is Vista exclusive DX10? No one fucking used it.
>>337917136
They actually lied about the temps tho.
>>337917236
And over 98% of your steam games don't need a GTX 1080 to do 1440p@144hz

Odds are a GTX970 is plenty enough for 1080p 60 fps

Depends. The Universe bits run okayish (but I have an i7 6700k) on a gtx 570 but yeah I'm bottlenecked by my GPU.
its melting
>>337917338
Yeah but VR certainly will. If the 1070 is good enough I might settle for that or whatever AMD's high end card will be.
Also I haven't upgraded since I got my GTX570 so I'm definitely getting a good card this year.
>85 degrees Celsius while gaming
Jesus fuck this is a housefire card, keep in mind that this is AFTER a die shrink too.

we're taking a step into the future, not looking back
this card are new and meant to be the stepping stone for the upcoming releases of Dx12 games
the only thing that you're doing is proving how good Pascal is over Maxwell and how Nvidia handles Dx11 features better, which is exactly what is supposed to do

A die shrink means the heat is spread over a smaller surface so it offsets quite a bit the expected heat tradeoff.

>>337917449
Why crop the picture?

wasn't the whole deal with this one that it was supposed to use less power and produce less heat?

Who the fuck is actually going to buy a rehashed GTX 980?
>>337917793
>>337917298
and what makes you think Dx12 will fail?
you do realize both Win7 and Dx11 were meant to REPLACE Vista and Dx10 right?
Win7 and Dx11 were not simply successors, but they are replacement to fix the previous el ebin failure
If anything, Dx13 will only improve on Dx12 and what will that prove?
That Maxwell and Pascal is still shitty? You'll have to wait for the newxt generation of Dx13 cards?
While Polaris would probably age better throughout the years? Handling both Dx12 and Dx13 fine?
That will only add insult to the injury we know as the Gimpworks.
I never understood why people want to drop £900 on a single component, especially considering graphics hasn't advanced at all in this generation.
My friend only plays Rust and Gmod, yet when this card was announced he now wants to get rid of his 980 to purchase one.
>>337916609
I had similar noise issues with my old AMD card, the issue is caused by the lubricating oil in the fan drying up.

I don't have a GPU to put in my computer in the meantime, and my work laptop is too shit for anything but word documents. I'll sell it when I have the money for the rest, which will likely be when 3rd party designs start coming out.
>>337917897
I won't lie, the 970 is a good card. But damn, the niggling problems and that VRAM issue makes things so annoying. I'll be upgrading to a 1070 then an i7 4770k from my current 4690k, then I'll be set for a few years until VR and 4K become the norm.

>>337918189
Are you afraid of posting them? I understand why.
You need minimum 750w for any amd card.
>>337916496
And what about the other games? did you miss the 33fps extra on BF4
>>337918027
Except when Win 7 and Dx11 were the new hotness, DX11 was still compatible with Vista; not quite the same situation.
>>337918101

Is it worth to jump over it now?
Nah.
>>337918291
I didn't post that but m is mili, 10^-3 you mongoloid.
10 mL is 10 mililiter, 10mW is NOT 10MW.
according to /g/ and tech sites, these new Nvidia cards are just overclocked Maxwells with a higher price point and smaller die.
Anyone who upgrades from their 970 or 980 to this is retarded as hell.
>>337916609
Not him but I've had massive bad luck with Nvidia, then after jumping on AMD nothing but good things. Not even any driver issues.
The one thing I miss though is Nvidia Inspector. RadeonPro is fucking dead and I'm really starting to miss all those tweaks. I'll probably come back around to Nvidia in the future, but I'm pretty comfy with my 290 at the moment.

I still don't know what DX12 does that 11 doesn't
I just heard it released but didn't see anything like the difference between 10 and 11
>>337918357
Milli is the SI for 10^{-6} and there's no such thing as e.g. a millimega or a nanogiga because a modifier can't modify a modifier. Go be inbred somewhere else, totally-not-tim.
>>337915315
>ever doubting nvidia
that was your only mistake op. We can forgive you for that.
>>337918435
The performance increase is small in real world scenarios and the less power consumption is barely noticeable. It's like comparing 290 to a 390 with these new Nvidia cards.
>>337918396
Lots of variables involved like ambient temp in the room. Also, they're using a Palit aftermarket card, you might not be.
>>337918113
Probably will do the same for my GPU but I got to make sure I got the cash to spare first. Third world currencies grossly inflates the cost of new cards.
i5 is probably good to go for a long time to come though. I don't care too much about VR so a 1070 needs to be a purchase that will go the distance with a vanilla setup.

>>337918535
One of the reviews compared an overclocked 1080 to an overclocked 980 Ti and the 980 Ti actually made up ground on it due to having more shaders. Pascal is nothing but Maxwell on a smaller process at higher clocks. Which I guess is fine if the performance is there, but the price they're charging for it is gross.

Pascal and Polaris are supposed to pioneer the move from Dx11 to Dx12 .

>>337919278
Actually going to keep the old card and put it into another pc.
Have fun with that AMD card
Currently have a 760, thinking about upgrading.
Would a 1070 be more worthwhile than a 1080?
>>337916346
There are people here who have used the same GPU for over 5 years, and can drop $600 on a 1080, which will easily last close to a decade for 1080p gaming.
The price point for the 1080 on release makes it the top value priced card by miles.
>>337919265
I'm incredibly sensitive to stuttering and in many games it's really, really terrible. I had to lock TW3 to 30fps because the stuttering was so bad at 60 on anything but the lowest possible settings.
It's why I'm also getting an i7 since that seems to reduce stuttering in quite a few games.
But how about the GTX 1070?
>>337919263
Guess I will just hold out 2 years until the next GPU generation comes. The 980 can't be that bad, right?Right?
Is SLI still shit? Microstutter issues? No support?
Still on 770 and it's enough for me.
Won't be updating unless it breaks or until we get HBM.
>>337919438
What's your 970 brand? And did you get any stuttering in DS3?
>>337919425
1070 is far better price/performance. For another 200 dollars the difference will be negligible
>>337918484
It's mostly low level performance stuff. You won't see it really increasing frame-rate if you're already running a game well, but it can be useful in avoiding cpu bottlenecks. So the same max frame-rate, but usually much better minimum frame-rate resulting in a higher average.
That said, cpu bottlenecks are almost always a sign of a poorly made game.
>>337919450
It will be the same situation as getting a 970 over a 980ti. The 980ti is massively a better value buy than a 970, but still very expensive comparatively.
>>337919547
MSI, and only got stuttering in DS3 when it autosaved which I can handle. TW3 and GTAV are the absolute worst examples.
R9 390 is still the best card

Not really accodring to this chart >>337918293
And this is based on the $599 msrp stated by Nvidia, which I doubt most of their partner would try to follow.
>>337918281
that only proved my point even more
Dx10 failed to deliver what it promised to do, and Dx11 fixed that, and even rought new tech like Tesselation.
Sure we can't tell if Dx12 is going to succeed or fail, but we've already seen massive improvement over the countless demo and released games.
Don't blame Dx12 if the games / devs are at fault.
Don't put the blame on Dx12 if your card is the one at fault.
> muh Dx12 is a meme

1070 is what I'm really interested in. Playing at 1080/60 High/Ultra with a 960, hoping I can transition to 1440p/120hz with a 1070. Have we seen benchmarks for it yet?

You're a fucking retard.
>>337919450
it will have 7.5GB of vram
>>337919689
On the other hand, it's AMD so it's going to be shit in actual games.
>>337918358
It's okay Polaris is still the same architecture as the 5xxx series, just on a smaller die and severely overclocked.
>>337919810
Only in Gameworks titles aka shit games*
At least they stopped using wood screws
>>337918754
>mfw my Haswell with stock cooler ran at 85 while playing Dead Space 3 while brand new
I should've bought a cooler
>>337919767
As someone who owned a 480, that shit is nothing
The 480 would get up to 90c+ playing fucking TF2
>>337919737
DX10 not delivering on promises is not the reason it failed. It failed due to lack of support because no dev/publisher in their right mind would needlessly alienate their XP using customers. Mark my words, Vulkan will prevail.
Look
Im buying my first Graphics card
What should I get, 980, 980 Titan, 1070, 1080?
>>337919810
>shilling for nvidia this hard
you can't seriously be this deluded, can you?
>>337920039
Buy a 1080 bro it's the absolute best it got a 100/100 score you can't go wrong it's Nvidia
I've got dual 980s in SLI. I'm also getting a Vive. Is there any reason for me to switch to the 1080?
>>337920039
>hey guys, I'm buying a GPU for the first time; tell me what to get
>I'm not going to say what I need it to do
>I'm not going to mention the other specs of my rig
>I'm literally retarded
You already fucked up.
>>337920130
Nah but the 1080ti could be different. But still naaah
>>337920039
titan bro look at its fucking name
>>337916431

>>337919689
>Tfw got a 290x 8GB edition for $240
Best money I ever spent
>>337920109
I've actually only ever owned AMD cards and I'll be glad to get rid of this one because pretty much any time I've bought a new game on release, it's had shit performance compared to similar Nvidia cards.
>>337920039
Why don't you tell us your resolution and FPS target you sperg
>>337916609
I've a HD7850 for at least 4 years now, and it's done nothing but excel at running the games it can run. It chugs on newer stuff but that's to be expected, it was mid-high when I got it towards the end of it's lifespan in the tech industry, but even after gathering dust for months it still works perfectly after booting it up and blowing some dust out. Never suffered heat problems, driver crashes or anything else like that either.
Should I sell of my gtx 970 for a 1070?
>>337916783
55% of the price for 80% of the performance. Going with the biggest card is always a mediocre investment
not him but in my case I have a 1080p 60hz monitor anyway. basically zero reason to go with the bigger card.
How often do graphics cards come out? I'm using a 7870 and it clearly struggles with the big games. Quantum Break was unplayable even while looking worse than World of Warcraft vanilla on low and 720p.
But considering I don't really play much of those games, I feel like I could wait a dozen or so months
>>337920241
funny, I can say the same for Nvidia. My 970 has always been performing worse than the 290 in non Gameworks games and on top of that I've had loads of issues ranging from coil whine, driver crashes to desktop, and that 3.5GB performance degradation issue.
>>337918632
He's talking about third party versions. Like MSI or ASUS.
>>337920319
no.
>>337915315
who cares?
a powerful graphics card does not make good games
>>337920334
Don't blame your 7870; Quantum is an awful excuse for a port.
>>337920241
AMD matches the power of nvidia, but their build quality is utter shit. It's why they sell at a cheaper price. AMD runs hotter and louder, which ultimately results in worse GPU than nvidia equivalents.
How any of these AMD shills can see AMD constantly offering similar power cards at a lower price point, yet AMD never trumps nvidia, and they don't connect the dots that there's more to a GPU than power, is beyond me. They're fucking idiots.
I have an R9 290X
How do I make it less INCREDIBLY FUCKING JET-ENGINE LOUD when it's running under stress? It also claims to be running at 89 degrees, but seems to heat up the entire case to that temperature.
>>337919939
nigger my 470 went sometimes to 110c
>>337917538
>Ashes of Singularity is not an AMD title
Funny fucking joke.
Not that Im just assuming nvidia has dx12 locked down, but we need more actual fucking games to decide that. bad time to buy a card right now in general, even the shiny new ones.
Seems to be performing as expected.
No reason for me to upgrade from my 980 Ti.
>>337920196
Cool, didn't think so. Thanks, bro.
>>337920516
AMD actually has better hardware design than Nvidia. Nvidia has the better software support though.
>>337920334
Wait for Vega~
Wait for Zen~
Keep waiting, never buy anything~
>>337920517
>How do I make it less INCREDIBLY FUCKING JET-ENGINE LOUD when it's running under stress?
buy nvidia next time you pleb
>>337920517
Get a decent case with sound dampening.
>>337920672
I was memed into AMD by /g/ and a website sale
>>337920567
It's actually a good time to buy a card now since retards are selling off their barely 1 year old graphics cards for steal prices to get the shiny new expensive cards that are 10-15% more powerful than their current card.
>>337920515
It's still a pretty old card.
Bioshock Infinite couldn't keep up the 60fps on max, and that's not a very intensive game.
GTA V made me do some heavy option tweaking.
Dark Souls III worked perfectly, but of course it will considering it's running with the exact same settings as the PS4
>>337920517
you literally cant. its meant for max watts, max heat, max loud but max performance. they squeezed everything they could out of it
you could underclock it
>>337920728
Which 290x did you buy?
I seriously fucking hope its not the goddam reference.
>>337920039
360 > 750ti
skip 950 > 370
380 > 960
skip 380x
390 > 970
skip 980, 390x, 980ti, fury/x , titan x
get the new 1070 / 1080
the equivalent AMD will only come out earliest October this year or March of next year
you could skip 380 / 390 and just get the new $200 480, which would be close to the 390 or 980
Polaris 470, 480 are mid-end / mainstream card that will come out the same time as the higher end 1070 / 1080
>>337920174
Im the kind of guy who likes to keep my graphics at the say level 4 of 5 but will turn shadows off because I prefure Silky smooth over graphical fluff
>>337920281
I dont even have a monitor for this shit yet so its up to interpretation
>>337920640
So AMD aren't releasing HBM2 until Vega either?
Fuck this shit, there wont be any of these cards available for like 2 months after release, will there?
>>337916496
only one dx12 game, wewe lad
>>337919095
>nvidia
>everything is razer
okay buddy you can stop projecting now
>just bought 970 like 3 weeks ago.
welp.
>he sold his 980ti for this
>>337920130
Single card is more efficient
Stabler frames
Works on every game / no need for SLI profile
The 1080 is pretty much 2x 980s anyway
>>337920640
Remember when the Fury was going to wipe the floor with the Titan?
Yeah, I'm going to nvidia.
>>337920039
If you don't have more than 1080p 60hz monitor get the 1070.
>>337920861
After the whole 3.5GB mess with the 970 I wouldn't buy one for months after release anyway.
