So what's the verdict /v/? meme or is this real life?
buying the founders edition aka fanboy edition turns you into a confirmed meme
It's too powerful for 1080p and not powerful enough for 4K
The 980Ti is perfect for 1440p
>>338564173
cant wait for nvidia to cuck users into upgrading
>>338564173
Wait for aftermarket
Buy a PS4 poorfags
>>338564546
Here's your (you) senpai
>>338564434
That's why you always go with EVGA.
>>338564335
>It's too powerful for 1080p
Just wait until game released update their god rays and DoF meters and it will be dropping below 60fps at 1080p like everything else by christmas.
I'm getting kind of tired of this happening every fucking time.
It's a fucking meme because there's no interesting games on PC
What the fuck are you going to play - Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Overwatch?
This is the worst possible new GPU upgrade you could buy this year. Every other new card will be a better value.
Can't wait to get fluctuating FPS drops under 60 in 1080p on new games again. Fuck you NVIDIA and AMD do something about this you niggers.
>buying reference cards
Friendly reminder: If you shell out extra money for a shitty reference card (oh wait, my bad, "FOUNDER'S EDITION"), you are a literal cuck.
>>338564173
If you already have a 980ti, you won't get much of a boost from this so It wouldn't be worth the upgrade. If you have a 980, get it.
>>338564987
Probably not.
the only reason the 980ti was so cheap was because 28nm was a cheap, well understood high yielding process at that point and nvidia could afford to get competitive
The 1080ti will probably go back to the 780ti's launch price premium.
On the other side it looks like AMD's planning to start with more mid range cards and move up to the high end later so unless they've got something impressive it's not looking good there either.
So, my build I have parted out uses a 980ti. Should I swap it out with a 1080 when the aftermarket models start coming out?
>>338564173
reference cards is an automatic meme.
waiting for AMD answer to 1080
anyday now
>>338565536
Is there any creedance to the amd memes about shitty performance?
>>338565515
no, you should buy a 2nd 980ti used when retards start selling their "outdated" cards
>>338565036
Why would anyone buy reference cards anyway? Why not wait for OEM?
>>338565678
Crossfire?
>>338565737
because people have a shit ton of disposable income famalam
>>338565678
Well the original plan was to SLI at some point
>>338565660
>efficiency
there you go
Good luck getting this shit at $699.
And even if you could its still isn't a good purchase for the time being.
>>338566071
>performance per dollar
lmfao
>>338566071
>performance per dollar
how do they measure that?
>>338566071
What does performance per dollar mean?
>>338566190
>GTX1080 have a great price they say
>a new height in value per performance they say
For a die shrink Maxwell, that shit is overpriced anon.
>>338566071
r9 290 is just powerful enough to run games decently but it's just in that area where you wish you could get 20% more FPS and the thought nags you and nags you, "if only I could get a little bit better performance" and in the end you end up buying a better card and you've lost 250 so no it's not good performance per dollar
>>338565036
I have a reference card.
Fuck it.
It's so fucking loud.
>>338566693
1 (you) = 1 aftermarket price per dollar card
A few years ago people shilled 970 to hell and back. Now they shill 1080 instead. I'll just wait for Polaris.
Hijacking this topic for a stupid question.
I'm about to buy a build where I can either get a 970, or a 390. The trick is, a friend is willing to give me their own 390 for free if I get the 390 so I could crossfire them.
I've done research, and all I've ever seen with 390 crossfires is nothing but people claiming they're worse than a single 970 in performance, and some saying they're better and that everyone just is quoting old release benchmarks.
How does 390 crossfire handle with games like GTA V and Witcher 3 compared to the 970 for 1440p? Is there really no genuine support? All I see are biased charts and counter charts and it's all fucking confusing.
Hey senpaitachi, my friend really believes in the gtx 1080, how do I get across what you fags are saying?
So guys i'm planning to upgrade my 750ti
Should i upgrade to 950/60 right away or should i wait for 1050/60?
>>338567092
Call him a NvidiaCuck
>>338565737
>muh reference card memes
you people really are desperate to find some way to be contrarian huh?
>>338564173
Always wait for a Ti version.
>>338567059
I can't tell you how the performance comparison would shake out, but I can tell you, as someone who's had a Crossfire setup in the past, it's a pain in the ass. Sometimes games just don't fucking play nice with it and your framerate is just absolute shit, and then you have to go and disable it in your drivers whenever you want to play that game, and it's just kind of shitty honestly.
>>338564173
>meme or is this real life?
Founders' Edition confirmed for turbomeme. Awaiting not-shit partner boards for final verdict.
>>338564765
So disable the god rays and dof?
Since this is an nvidia thread I'll ask here. Anyone else get frame drops in Doom with Nvidia Instant Replay on?

>>338567236
the card is confirmed thermal-throttled after about five minutes of play you ignorant faggot. turboclocking is completely gimped on the founders edition. it is not a meme, it's an objectively inferior product sold at a premium.
>>338567456
You mean shadowplay? Yeah it's a new driver issue.
>>338567570
PM sent ;)
>>338567678
Yeah, specifically the record the previous 5 minutes like how Xbox One and PS4 do it. My friend keeps sending me Xbox clips so I wanted to give it a try
>>338567849
Yeah some cards are having issues. Usually a DDU reset will fix but if not just wait for the next drivers.
>>338567346
Well, I guess I'll go with the 970. It's meant to just be a stepping stone for now, and it'll be a little longer before I can switch from 1080 to 1440p anyway.
Thanks, anon.
>>338564173
Not waiting a month to see amd response... meme op is such meme
>>338566554
The r9 390 is the perfect card desu senpai
>>338564705
I don't understand. Is EVGA's founder edition card somehow better?
>>338564705
As if that matters, like evga has full custom drivers or something
>>338567941
Why would you get the 970 when the 1070 is right around the corner?
>>338564173
Waiting for the AMD flagship
>>338568064
>>338567941
Why would you get a 970 when the 390 is an objectively better card?
>>338565536
You'll be waiting for a year at least.
Not that that's a bad thing, I'm on 3 year old hardware and I'm not seeing any reason to upgrade. Like, oh wow I could play Doom at a bit higher above my refresh rate? That's not really worth a $600 upgrade from either manufacturer.
>>338565024
Amd did. They made mantle, forced ms to finally release DX 12, donated their shit to Vulcan. With lower level API there is less shenanigans going on within driver so for games built from ground up for the new API there should not be such a big problem in the future
>>338564173
why would you EVER need ANYTHING more than a gtx 970
there is literally NO REASON
to ever have more for the next 2-3 years
>>338568170
>>338568180
You have to be a fanboy to even consider AMD
>>338567940
Hm, so it's not like an issue with running out of VRAM or anything like that? Doom's Nightmare settings say you need 5+GB. And I'm wondering where the Nvidia recordings data gets stored before you actually tell it to save to the hard drive
>>338568290
4K gaming
>>338564173
waiting for 1080ti
if i had an old card and was looking for an upgrade i'd get 980ti after 1080 comes out, but since i have the 980 i feel like 1080 isn't worth it yet
>>338568294
Nigger, how is considering more options a sign of fanboy?
>>338568374
4k60 is still not achievable with a single card so no point
>>338568308
The recordings are saved in your video folder. No it has nothing to do with VRAM. I've been having the same issue recently so I assume it is a driver issue.
>>338568294
Lmao what are you fucking delusional?
The 390 performs better and costs the same
>>338568290
>you game at above 1080p resolution
>you aren't poor
>you play some AAA games
>>338568294
I have a really good freesync monitor, so I want to take advantage of that. I admit AMD has treated me well so far and I generally think Nvidia is overpriced for any performance increase but I respect your opinion.
>>338568464
It's easily achievable if you are willing to turn off useless resource hog settings like Depth of Field and Anti Aliasing.
>>338568464
>Not achievable
Depends on what game
>inb4
"Yeah lmao maybe in a game from 2008 old games lmao"
>>338568442
>I'm thirsty, should I drink water or diarrhea?
You see how you have to be a fanboy of diarrhea to make this thought process.
>>338568464
4k60 maybe not achievable in latest games at max settings, which is what benchmarks often use - the most intensive setup. But fuck that, i don't like ashes of singularity, and I don't mind maybe dropping an option or two from ultra to high
>>338568064
Because it'll be fucking July by the time the fucking card comes out, I can actually easily buy the cards when they come out aftermarket, and it's still over a fucking month away before I can get them.
>>338568180
Too much shitflinging over which is the better card, and honestly I see genuine results from a 970 where the 390 has nothing but conflicting results and people bullshitting each other over brand wars. The only thing I see the 390 having over the 970 is the VRAM, which won't be an issue because I'm not going to be running games at fucking 4K let alone shit like 1440p 120fps or some shit. I'm starting small for the giant leap a few months later. It's that simple. I just want a simple card that'll do the job, and I don't mind if I can't run games like Witcher 3 completely totally maxed out with hairworks and all the meme settings that rape the GPU like a night in Venezuela. Just being able to play them on a tweaked Ultra is good enough for me, honestly.
>>338568640

Then you are an idiot. Look at some fucking benchmarks you shitter. The 390 only loses in a select few games
hows that sex position called again where the female grabs the boy and fucks him while squatting down on his cock ?
the female in that case is the 1080 and the boy is the one who bought the card
They better fix the 3.5 shit this time FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>338568683
>lol I copmare thing to poo ur thing = poo lol argument won
>>338568683
Calling something diarrhea before any benchmarks or reviews, argue about me being fanboy. You retard much?
>>338568832
AA isn't very useful at 4k and I don't know how DOF would be useful beyond anything than a visual effect preference.
>>338568765
>Because it'll be fucking July by the time the fucking card comes out
What are you talking about, the release date is june 10th
>>338568832
AA is useless when you are running at 4k
>>338568862
Wait, so whoever boot the card gets cowgirl sex?
Why are people such fanboys for GPUs.
Shits worse than console wars.
>>338568935
AMD has always been the diarrhea, moron. You'll know better when it'll be more than a couple of months since you were a babby console gamer.
>buying the first card for the 10xx line
>not waiting for ti
>>338569029
pretty much.
Also you get extra joy from all the benchmarks.
paying more for a card that will perform worse than the 3rd party card
and is the card that will have the most issues (and currently already HAS issues).
i don't get it.
>>338566282
amount of dicks you pay to suck
>blurring stuff in the background in a vain attempt at replicating the flaws of the human eye
>not having everything perfectly in focus at all times
>needing AA at 4k
At 4k you are running at 110PPI even on a massive 40 inch display, AA is fucking useless at those kinds of resolutions.
>>338569183
It is the nvidiot way
>>338569183
Since when do 3rd party cards not perform better?

>tfw FO4 released with tessrays "accidentally" unable to be disabled
Boy that sure was an accident that was unintentional, just like all the tesselated water underneath the map with occulsion culling disabled accidentally too in Crysis 2.
>>338567059
Is selling the free 390 out of the equation?
>>338568862
welp it can do 4k pretty decent
>>338569572
>Only 4-5 fps better than 980ti
>>338568943
Aftermarket, anon. Aftermarket. I'm not gonna be stupid and buy stock.
>>338568842
Again, my issue is the many kinds of benchmarks that give results that don't click. Is the 390 better for Witcher 3 and GTA V? Could I run Far Cry Primal better on a 390 without any driver issues than a 970?
The fact that some games teamed with certain GPU companies and made other cards work like ass honestly is incredibly unsettling. I don't like the idea of having to wait weeks to a month to play a game that just came out. That's why I'm being so cautious about this.
>>338569502
Yes.
>price gougingcustomers for a reference cooler
yeah nah i'm waiting for vega.
>>338567059
SLI/Crossfire is pointless.
Especially when you consider you'd need to probably upgrade your PSU to run 2x 390s considering how FUCKING AWFUL their power usage & temp is.
Oh yeah you'll need to buy a case with good airflow and cooling cos 390s run red hot.
Should I buy a 980Ti/390X or wait?
>>338569683
Buying a 970 over a stock 1070 is still stupid
>>338567059
My experience with 970 and 390 is that games using gameworks run better on 970 and games that don't run better on 390.
Don't know about crossfire tho.
>>338569676
>only
5 more frames in 4K is like a wonder. Show me some AMD that can manage .. oh wait right.
Most will be on 1080p or 1440p anyways.
I just want the 980ti price to drop
Why did the AMD cross the road?
>>338569867
I went with the 980ti. Unless games get even less optimization, it should be enough for a while.
>>338570067
Literally why would you do that .. when you could buy a fucking 1080 .. for the same price .. and better performance?
I don't even.
>>338570101
Why?
>>338570178
It wouldn't be the same price if the price dropped...
>>338570067
And I want my dick sucked by an exotic and dominant trap but that's not going to happen any time soon.
>>338569874
>This anon is thinking of a good, but cheaper card to tide over when 3rd party aftermarket version of the latest cards come out to get as much out of it for his money as possible
>Better try to shill the stock version
>after all he can just sell it to someone afterwards, right?
No one fucking buys used stock cards. Especially not to make back what I'd lose doing that kind of upgrade. Stop being stupid.
>>338570176
Alright, I know that everyone is screaming to wait on buying a new processor. But my card is literally dying and I don't think I can wait anymore.
Now to flip a quarter and decide between the 980Ti and the 390X.
>>338570225
For the price of 1080, I bet kind find someone even today on those websites
>>338570207
.. Do you know how much a 980 ti costs ..
Do you notice how its already going to be HUDNREDS more than the 1080?
Do you think they're going to drop it hundreds?
>>338569683
Dual cards are fucking garbage in general if you want consistent performance across all games and don't actually need multiple cards to achieve the goal of your set up (like 4k or 144hz gaming).
>>338569115
>just wait for 980

>>338570372
only upgrade for Ti cards m8, easy enough
>>338570372
Well, I bought 660 gtx and was happily running it till now. but now it's probably the time for an upgrade
>>338564173
its a meme because the boost in performance comes only from the high clocks
VR performance comes from an innovative technique, and not raw horsepower
so if you have a 900 series card you don't really need to upgrade, but if you have anything below that its worth a look.
>>338570372
>not waiting for the 1180ti
>not waiting for OEM
>>338569970
50 + 5 frames is almost smooth as fuck experience on gtx 1080 in 4K. All this with beta drivers. Give it some time with Vulkan and DX 12.1 and it will crush anything.
Not the mention SLI..
>>338570445
This to be quite honest.
>>338570420
(They won't).
(They never have).
Go try buy a 200 series right now
Oh yeah thats right they remove all stock once the next series come out.
>>338570492
no man you should wait
>>338570591
You'll see...
>>338570254
As if anyone is going to buy a used 970 by then. You're retarded.
>>338564173
I'm gonna disagree with all the fags who themselves are meme'ing with FOUNDERS EDITION=MEME. It'd be more accurate to say that it's special niche. Nvidia's cooler is in fact really fucking good, and importantly it's good while also being a blower. The vast majority of builds anyone here would ever do are fine with open air, or alternatively are at the other end into full custom loop territory, but there are some very good focused builds (particularly in SFF, but I can think of a few others) where a good blower is very helpful/required.
The price is really high because Nvidia doesn't feel any competitive pressure right now, so I'd definitely wait for AMD's effort because if they can get much more aggressive this time then price cuts might come sooner rather then later. But it's not a high price for zero value, they are giving you something good and quality in return. It's just for most people it's not worth it. But if you know you need a high performance quiet blower then FE is totally reasonable.
Not like any of this stuff is much money anyway, it's silly to angst too much over pizza money.
>>338570591
after launch of 1070 and 1080 literally any R9 series besides the Fury X is waste of money. Stop giving ppl retarded advice to buy a fucking R9 2xx series. Polaris will be 390X performance wise but way more power efficient.
>>338570317
Aren't really comparable, 980ti is in the same tier as a Fury X. If you're trying to decide between the two, 980ti is the obvious choice unless your end goal is to get a suitable 60fps/1080p card for cheap.
>>338570880
Learn to fucking read you moron.
The 200 series was a point that you can't buy old generations from retailers once the new generation comes out.
Not advice to BUY them.
And actually you dumb fuck the r9 290 is one of the BEST cards of the last generation.
It currently goes toe to toe with the 980, which is a card that costs hundreds of dollars more.
However, the 300 series is a peice of shit.
>>338564173
The verdict is that you will never see anything on your overpriced irrelevant hardware that compares to ...
>tfw still running a 550ti
>getting hyped over hardware to play games that you can already play with existing hardware
>>338571076
>And actually you dumb fuck the r9 290 is one of the BEST cards of the last generation.

How can I learn about graphics cards so I am an informed consumer?
>>338571276
I don't' give a fuck about your memes kid.
It's objectively one of the highest performing cards.
Go look up a fucking review or something jesus christ.
I don't care what brand it is if its better I will buy it.
Will the 1080ti be overkill for 1200. I guess I can supersample

>>338571272
>being such a consolefag you can't conceive of the difference between playing a game on base settings vs top settings or being able to go more nuts with mods
Still having trouble justifying the upgrade from 780ti, everything I play runs fine. I'll probably end up waiting for 1180ti+ OC Fata1ity Uber.
>>338571174
and this
Any reason to upgrade from a 980 if you aren't going VR?
>>338571571
780ti is plenty good, I wouldn't upgrade either. I've already ordered a 1080 though as part of a full system upgradefrom my 8800 Ultra. Yeah.
>>338571571
Never mind the 780; I've had a 680 since 2012 and never had any trouble with vidyagaem.
>>338571571
>tfw I got a 770 right before games started using shitloads of VRAM
>tfw I can't run a bunch of games on high despite the fact it's only been 2 and a half years
>tfw I can't justify spending 400 bucks on a new graphics card when I can run a lot of games on good settings but I can't run a lot of games at 60fps.
>>338571754
No. In fact I wouldn't upgrade even if you were going to VR, it's still early days and all the gen 1 VR is full of compromises and issues anyway. Give it a year or three.
If you absolutely must be on the cutting edge though if you move fast you can probably sell your 980 for a decent price, so "upgrading" wouldn't be as bad as buying new. Although I'd still wait to see Polaris.
>>338571754
I think most benchmarks show it increasing FPS by ~30% against a 980 Ti.
It's not that expensive, its very power efficent, and its temperature is ok.
30% gain is pretty big -- and that's just the ref card.
>>338571754
Depends on what kind of monitor you have. If it's 1080p 60hz, no. 1440p 144hz, yes.
>>338571657
And this....
>>338570372
I recently bought a 960 Ti and I upgraded from a 560

Anyone who willingly goes into a shop after 31 May and buys old gen graphics cards is just a pleb period.
>>338572123
>goes into a shop
No game needs a fucking expensiveass graphics card.
None.
Fuck modern gaming up the goddamn asshole for making shitty overblown graphics so important that people think you need a goddamn card that costs hundreds of dollars to play them. PCs are the right way to play games but you should only have to buy a fucking half-decent PC to play anything. Paying shitfucktons of money to PLAY A GODDAMN VIDEOGAME just because that "game" has overblown graphics is beyond retarded.
>>338572278
This guy gets it.
>>338572278
You do only need an ok pc to play games.
You don't need a 1080.
What is your point.
>>338572267
yea you right. Orders online amazon or memeegg.
>>338572123
No, you're a pleb if you don't squeeze a great blowout discount out of it. A last gen top of the line card for 50-60% off (which is how I got one last time around) is still absolutely worth it.
>>338572278
It's more-or-less not for playing current games at ridiculous specs, but for playing games at max specs 2 years from now.

What's different in 2 years? More graphics? Fuck that. Fuck graphics. Gaming graphics peaked in the late 90s/early 2000s, a time when 3d graphics were good enough to represent anything without being a goddamn clusterfuck of bad effects and ugly as shit megatextures.
Even in two years we shouldn't need anything more than a PC with a half-decent processor, RAM, and basic graphics card.
You want graphics? >>>/tv/. There's your fucking graphics.

Some people like nice looking games at high framerates. You don't need that to play games, you can easily have a sub-$200 card from AMD that will run games at medium to medium-low settings that costs as much as a console.
Just calm down dude, lol.

There hasn't been a single goddamn game that looks "nice" lately. It's all been a fucking clusterfuck of shitty OMGGRAFIX infecting the screen and hindering gameplay by making the whole thing look like someone smeared it with shit.

You're both fucking idiots.
Graphics cards have always been super expensive and niche on release. There is absolutely literally not a single thing new about this except reference cards being rebranded "founders edition" to try and snag a few more idiots with cool buzzwords.
>>338570067
even with 980ti price drop the 1070 is better value
>>338573170
Yes,and if you care about pc do it for Guybrush.
I'm going to wait for a while to see if something like 3.5 happens with the 1080, but if not I'll probably get one to replace my R9 290. I loved the 6950 I had before this, it was probably the best GPU I've ever owned, but the 290 has been nothing but a disappointment for me and I'm ready to try the dark side.
>>338564335
I would honestly get a used 980ti right now (they're already down to $400, doubt they'll get much lower) if not for Nvidia's habit of neutering their older GPUs in the drivers. I wish they didn't pull such seedy bullshit to force people to upgrade, it's the only reason I'm upset about trying them over AMD.

You're dumb. There's no point at all of having a super expensive and niche graphics card now. None. It's a waste of money, time, resources, energy, and everything else.
You're just feeding money to greedy companies that release trivial incremental upgrades every few years. That's fucking stupid. Do you think they didn't have the ability to make this card several years back? They did, but they didn't because they knew you'd be stupid enough to buy the last generation and now this generation card. Same with every tier of graphics card from cheap up to expensive.

>one of the strongest cards out (only really bested by the 980ti, 1080 and Fury X. The other Fury cards are around equal minus the 980s BEAST OC potential)
Nigger, you'll be gaming at 1080p for a few years, easy. A 390/970 will be gaming at 1080p for another few years. As long as consoles exist your fine and if your card starts showing its age then OC it.
>>338572741
680 is weaker than a 960
>>338573726
It's a conspiracy!
If either of the two main graphics card manufacturers were capable of making their next-in-line cards "Several years back" they would've skipped generations at least once by now just to knock the other out of the race.

>I'm going to wait for a while to see if something like 3.5 happens with the 1080
Wait what? Do you mean the 1070? 3.5 was 970 only, Nvidia would never pull that shit with their top one, it only was because of cut downs to make the lower tier.
At any rate though Anandtech (and a bunch of others) specifically asked Nvidia about it directly, and there's no shenanigans this time with the 1070. In fact the design doesn't even cut down that aspect of silicon at all. Instead Nvidia is just plain giving it slower memory period, GDDR5 instead of GDDR5X. Maybe next year they'll make the split HBM vs GDDR5X. So now that they have multiple fully differentiated memory techs to work with they can just use the same silicon and still do cheaper/slower versions totally above the board.
The only real interesting choice was to go with 8 gigs in both. Probably they're hoping that if they make 8 GB the new standard not just top of the line but even more into mid range, just getting slower each time rather then smaller, then more devs will actually start to use it. That'll drive adoption of newer stuff much more effectively then the mere speed differences they can squeeze out, look at that earlier anon with a 770 >>338571884. Speed often is easy to tweak down the settings on even years after release, but if a game just plain uses more VRAM then you've got then that's that.

>>338573726
You're still not getting it. Bleeding edge graphics cards have always been way overpowered for currently released video games. Always. It was true in 1996 and it's true in 2016. Games aren't made for cutting edge graphics cards, the people that buy bleeding edge do it for the fun of having the most advanced build possible, or they want to try to future proof, or they want to buy it for some other special reason. They aren't people just doing a normal upgrade or build. Even so, these cards always get marketed like crazy. This has always been the case, and you getting worked up about it is fucking retarded.

>>338564173
no asynch. all these people buying nvidia are going to feel like idiots within the year. not to mention they already got cought with this card boosting performance that cant be maintained much longer than a typical benchmark. nvidia just keeps doing this shit because they know people are stupid and only look at benchmarks when buying a new card. nvidia is the absolute shadiest company to ever make computer parts, but hey its how they got the larger market share so they definitely know their customers thats for sure.

Anon...5k is something you have after 8 months or something. Over 2 years is not impressive in the least.

But what if you're upgrading from a 5XX or 6XX card anyways? May as well go for the 1080.

980 fag here, yea, he's being a retard but my 980 runs GTA V at 70fps in 1440p maxed out. It completely obliterates GTA V at 1080p. Same with Just Cause 3
Pic related. Anyone who has a 970/390/980/390x/Fury/980ti can effectively skip this whole upcomming generation of cards and still max out any upcoming games at 1080p (not included unoptimized shit heaps) without much worry. As long as those consoles are around, your GPUs will be fine.
>>338574802
There's no reason not to go for a 1080 if you're aiming for a flagship card anyhow.
>>338573884
>HBM2 is coming and will blow everything else out by this time next year.
People said that about Fury X. People also said that about the 1080 going to 16nm. People have always said this shit. What we actually get are respectable but not earth-shattering improvements, and even that's not a guarantee. The Fury X had HBM and it was shit.
>>338574550
If this was true, there would be a major shitstorm going on from all the testers.
You know a large number of those places that run benchmarks over and over one after the other to get as complete a picture as possible of the capabilities of the cards, right?
Or do you think it's some conspiracy every one of the majority of testers this has not been an issue for is in on?

Shit, maybe third party cards will be less shit, but it would still make more sense to buy and OC a 980ti at say $500 than buy this card even at 600

If you got the cash and want the best card, go for it.
Or spend like 200$ and buy a used card. A 780ti is still a beast for a third of the price used.
>>338575003
The 1080ti won't be out for another 6-9 months anyways, and will cost another arm more. The 1080 is more like just another good futureproof card to use for the next 4-5 years.

Nothing is future proof, any you'd probably want to go with a polaris 10 card anyways because you're going to save money on a free-sync display vs g-sync display
>>338575450
EVGA then takes the used card and probably resells it, thus making them more sheckles everyone kind of wins I guess, but they still make more money from the deal.
also why would anyone buy a current high end GPU anyways?
