You didn't preorder the shitty reference 1080, right?
References are certainly inferior but to call it shitty is a bit too neo/v/, even for me.
It seems to be a pretty solid piece of hardware, even when you buy vanilla.
I'm holding out though.

Whats the real difference between Armor and Gaming X? They have the same number of blades, probably the same heatsink. Only thing I can think of would be OCing, but you would need watercooling for that.

So I'm finally building a PC this summer and I was wondering how soon after the 1080 and 1070 coming out would the 970 get a price drop, because that's the card I was planning on getting?
>>339052850
>paying extra for OC that you can do yourself with a fee program
>>339054958
the cooling on the aftermarket cards is often better.
>>339054958
I like my EVGA 980ti because the fans dont come on until 50C
>>339054958
Yeah but if you oc that reference card it's going to thermal throttle. Dunno why nvidia bother putting that peice of shit blower on there when there's cheerper and better alternatives.
If I have no intention of overclocking, would the regular card be sufficient?
Also, about how much would somebody pay for a 770 4GB that's been in use for two years? Less than a hundred, I'm guessing?
>>339054958
>OCing a reference card
>>339055106
>>339055224
Cooling yes, I was more referring to the massive SUPERCLOCKED bullshit on the EVGA box in OP's pic.
Buy the aftermarket base model with the better fan then OC it yourself.
>>339054883
Be prepared to wait a year, only to wait another year cause the 1070 price will drop.
>>339053367

For the same reason people buy designer socks. Style points are the only points.
Been out of the loop for a long time, just built a new pc and got myself a 4gb GTX 980, then heard about these cards afterwards...did I just fuck up bigtime?
Bare in mind I only really play games at 1080 anyway.
>>339057408
No, you're fine.
980 will do the job for you at 1080 for awhile
I am a 970 and the "3.5 incident" hurts me pretty great. Don't get me wrong, the card runs great, I can run most modern games on ultra setting no problem.
But the point is I'm running dual monitors, and it's pretty easy to kick 970 to its "limit" while running both monitor at the same time. I can get Witcher 3 to run at full fps if it's the only problem running, but from rate drops to 30 or even worse if I got YouTube playing musics on the second monitor.
I am at the edge of upgrade, but I'm not sure if 1080 is a waste of money at this point. The specs for 1080 sounds like overkill in 2016. Should I wait for 1070 to see if this is a better alternative, or should I go for 1080 now?
Y'all niggaa should wait for Polaris, if not for AMDs stuff, then for Nvidia if they drop prices to compete.
Remember, with dx12 and vulkan, as long as devekopers are competent in using the new APIs, there wont be any drivers for AMD to fuck up.
>>339053217
>phoenix
Yeah, because when it bursts into flames it'll be like a phoenix was born from ashes.
I'm going to moving up to 1440p later this year, will my 970 still cut it at that resolution?

I simply cannot wait to upgrade. I'm running a 560ti.

Also, I only game at 1080p. Fight me.
>>339052850

Have you guys learned nothing. The ti will shit all over the 1080. If you buy the 1080 you are a shit consumer. Go with 1070 or 1080 ti. Do not be a retard.
>>339059067
What cpu, anon?
What's the point
1080 is only useful at 1440p (preferably several monitors) or higher in the most graphically demanding games at the very highest settings
anythign else and you're wasting your money
It's way overkill for almost anyone desu

It's actually one of the cheaper custom pcb cards. 619 for non OCd and 640 for OCd (highest confirmed boost clock as well).
>>339054770
>drive the price up
it's cheaper than reference lol
going for amd lads
I wanna support the underdog even if it means worse performance
if amd goes under nvidia cards will cost double if not more
I'll wait for the hybrid version of EVGA's card.
I hope it has additional power phases, but they usually use reference PCB, so I'm not holding my breath.
My 980ti will hit 84c under load, and I'm tired of it.
>>339059454

I am waiting 6 months for user reviews to filter out the shitty OC hardware and coil whine problems.
Fell for the "Gigabyte is good" meme when the 660 came out and bought the SUPER ULTRACLOCKED version that could NOT stop crashing because of a voltage issue they refused to acknowledge or fix, then a new version of the card showed up 2 months later.
Never buying Gigabyte again or trusting review sites until there is actual data backing a card as good.

>>339066962
Forget AMD. They are loud as fuck. Had one myself its insane loud. Never again.

If the demand is not high, the 1070 card should be cheaper.
Thats the only reason they did not announce the price for 1070. They first wanted to see how much of you suckers fall for 950$ and then price the 1070 accordingly

I'm a complete newfag when it comes to computers, but the 1080 is an NVIDIA card, right?

To optimize and fix potential issues with the current software applications. Maybe current drivers can fix the serious issues, but Nvidia doesn't optimize for older architectures for shit. I haven't seen any improvement in FPS whatsoever for years. I haven't seen the drops either: I even installed older drivers to check whether meme is real or not. It's not
>>339067281
Optimized crossfire games on a 295x2 or the double 390 card from power color are as close as you are going to get to a single card 4k solution.
I play in 3k (5760x1080) using a 295x2, was also able to run games at 4k (3840x2160) but in the end the 4gb per GPU is its weak point.
With Vulcan on the horizon there will be GPU wars still. But the 1080 needs more VRAM than 8gb....

sorry, meant to say single-chip instead of single card
you're absolutely right, though, 4-8GB is way too small a pool to draw from for 4K at 60+
I think the hope is that HBM will negate the need for such high VRAM requirements, but things like mods will always require more memory
The 1080/1070 cards are finally ushering in the death of 1080p 60hz monitors
If you buy these cards and don't have either a 1080p 144hz, 1440p 60/144hz, or 4K monitor you are wasting the potential of these cards

guarantee you're going to run into vram problems real soon since the 1000 series have 8gb of vram. suddenly newer games are going to require 6gb of vram even though the games look the fucking same.
>Buying anything that's not Asus
how do you live with yourself?
>>339069053
for what purpose.
>>339069021
If you are playing at 1080 you are just wasting money... This card is made to specifically address resolutions larger than 1k and also to take advantage of high refresh rates.
Your 980 970 780s will still be more than ok for 1080 60hz
1070 is piss cheap. Why the actual fuck would anyone buy a 970/980/098ti/titan when that is coming out?
>>339062770
You realize more power doesn't help, right? Gta4 still runs like shit on my 980ti
>>339069508
Runs 60fps with minimal dips on my 770 even using real enb and maxing most things.
>>339069508
Civ 4 runs like shit too on big maps with lots of things going on.

>>339069808
You're making a false assumption.
>>339052850
I didn't preorder it because it's overkill or 1080p. The new AMD line up will release a R9 390 follower with lower watt usage for the same price. And that will be more than enough for 1080p.
Enjoy your GTX 1080, it's probably only good for 1440p or 4k

>buying the best card available when you're gaming at 1080p
i can guarantee you there are games the gtx 1080 cannot run at a CONSISTENT 60fps at 1080p.
as in FPS never drops below 60. i guarantee it. i've no fucking clue why retards have been claiming for the past few years that the gtx X80 cards are too good for 1080p because that's compelte bullshit.
>>339069982
Even better since it guarantees that you won't have to change cards for the next 3-5 years since 4k has become a meme.
>>339070723
What games would that be

>>339057408
Honestly, a 980 is probably overkill for 1080p at 60hz. A 960 or R9 380 or 380x would be plenty to run modern games maxed out. Unless you want to do VR meme-goggles or higher resolutions/framerate, you already spent too much.
>>339073089
What does that have to do with what I said?
>Buying a NVIDIA high end card at release

KeK
>>339052970
>Worse than aftermarket cards that COST LESS MONEY
That is shitty.
>>339074037
because it seems to be a software bug with the game that has issues with cards with over 2gb memory and there's an easy fix for it. or were you just pretending to be retarded to make a point?
What's the best brand /v/? I got an MSI now, can't decide what to get when I upgrade.
>>339061926
I just upgraded to a 960. I can max out skyrim with 30+ mods. The card was $170. If you have a job, you can upgrade for pretty cheap. Hope you're not living that NEET life, anon.
How is this even possible? 120 fps on 4k? Does SLI really improve performance that much?
>>339074458
I will be getting another MSI personally, never had a problem with them.
>>339074241
>not understanding it's completely relative and depends on how long of an upgrade cycle you're interested in
>>339074458
had evga since my 8800gts never had a problem so always just kept using them. even my 680 with a reference cooler is alright if not a bit loud. the x whatever software kind of blows though.
>>339074587
Someone convince me not to go full retard.
>>339055983
Chips are only binned like that for the custom PCB cards. Border partners do not bin chips for the shitty 'pay $20 extra for a tiny boost in baseclock over reference' cards.
>>339074575
I got a job. I'm just holding out as long as I can, I guess. Before upgrading. I like to get maximum value.
My next rig will probably be water cooled. Always wanted to do that. And that's several hundred dollars more.
>>339074879
look up the prices for a 4k monitor that will do 120hzi assume they're outlandish since the 1440p 144hz with gsync is like 600 min
>>339074897
I thought almost every aftermarket card uses a custom PCB
