The same here, the next card I'm buying will need to run VR and VR games won't become mainstream at least in the next 5 years. Might buy some used up tier 2-3 card in a year or two for 100€ or something.

I guess there's at least one thing I can thank consoles for halting the graphical evolution.

7970 still rock solid 4 years later. Upgrading probably next gen with some newegg bux IF I see games I want that need it that my 7970 can't reach 60 FPS anymore. Might not be that likely since games seem kinda shit for years now, which is mostly why I still have my 7970. I feel like I'd rather go back in time to play what was actually enjoyable to me, before companies started shoving the broomsticks up my ass known as Day 1 DLC, half finished or half sold content, and "kickstarter."

My FX6350 8GB Ram HD7870 non SSD system can run anything that's been released so far.

Anywhere from Medium Up up to Ultra

Black Ops 3 gave me some really really fucking weird inconsistency

I'd upgrade to more ram but I honestly need a better PUS & Motherboard with better spacing, my EVO 212 blocks 2 of my ram slots


And what's worse off is I've noticed a considerable performance increase when tweaking graphical settings that're artificially ramped up for NVIDIA's sake.


I've seen this in FO4 & Witcher 3 so far. And I think Black Ops 3

>>338492271
Sup 960 buddy! I have a 4GiB version, and with a modest OC it can handle Rise of the Tomb Raider acceptably at 1440p.

That's at decent settings, and Very High textures (the game warns that you need more than 4GiB for that setting, but it works fine for me).

>>338492571
That is unlikely to be a software problem. Either your card is simply damaged, or you have bad power delivery. Is your PSU high quality?

My 770 is at 5, which mean 53% of people on /v/ have better card than that.
I can't believe the third best card of Nvidia (the most relevant graficard company) 700 series (barely 3 years old) is worse than 50% of population.

No the stock speed is like 3.9 or some shit, it "Turbos" to 4.2

I turned off that turbo shit and left it at 4.2 for the longest.

But we've got intermittent power here in west virginia and I'm pretty sure my PSU's suffered for it so I downclocked to 4.0

If I had the money readily laying around I'd fuck with the OC and see how much higher I could get it.

Got a gtx 760 which I think performs well enough in most cases despite being 3 years old.

Then the new 14nm process should be perfect for you. From what I've seen, the 1080 is pretty powerful but it runs hotter than I expected. If you're willing to go for something without quite as much power as the Nano and efficiency is really important to you, the 480/x (or whatever they call Polaris 10) or 1060 might be worth waiting for

Fallout 4 is horribly optimized anyway. If that's the main game you want to play, yeah you need to upgrade. But F4 is also really CPU dependent, and I wouldn't reccommend changing out your 8350.

Force tessellation to 16x in AMD control center, turn off gameworks BS like God Rays. Turn down settings at least one notch, becuase there's almost no difference between high and ultra. Look at the 1080p GPU and CPU graphs here

Yes, that's an old cpu (I enjoyed mine, though). The 8350 is also good, but I'd recommend going for a beefier haswell at least, it'll last you longer. There's no decent upgrade from the 8350, and you'll have to buy a new mobo when you do (probably true no matter what cpu you get, but if you get an equivalent haswell cpu you can still upgrade to a significantly better haswell without upgrading the mobo too).

Low tier even when it came out but its allowed me to play most games I've wanted to play. I've lived with low settings for quite a while and can honestly say I dont care about graphics at all.

Doom runs strangely bad on PC for some reason. Everyone says it's well-optimized on PC, and yet it manages to run at 60fps and about 1080p on consoles. Even at low, a lot of card below the 960/280 can't manage that.
