Nah.
>>339308360
Yes, but I'm gonna wait to see what aftermarket looks like. EVGA or MSI most likely. I'm looking at 1080p/60 so this is probably already overkill.
I still have a 560 ti but it doesn't run doom 4 well. What should I upgrade to? I play at 1440x900 so I'm thinking of a GTX 960. I have a 1080p monitor in my room so I'm also thinking of getting a GTX 970. What do you guys recommend? I have a i5 2500k.
>63% improvement
I think people are too focused on comparing the new cards to the 980ti, which they aren't meant to replace
Since the 1070 is meant to directly replace a 970 that's a hell of a performance gain holy shit
I got a 980 a while ago so I see no reason to upgrade anytime soon.
>>339309585
I have the same CPU, but with a GTX 970.
Runs BF4/The Witcher 3, and I imagine, Doom 4 at 1080p on ultra with 60fps pretty much 95% of the time.
>>339309605
Yeah but
>Running fans at 80% so the heat doesn't throttle your clock speeds
seems a bit lame.
>>339310007
>Paying extra for a founders edition ie reference cooler when 3rd party cards are cheaper and better
Reference coolers are always loud and hot, I don't know why people seem to have forgotten this, or why Nvidia expects people to pay more for a worse experience
>>339310007
>founders edition
there's your problem
dont be that idiot that buys stock coolers or considers them worth discussing
>>339309916
You think if I stick with the 1440x900 monitor I can run it with a GTX 960? Doom is the only game it doesn't run well so I'm not sure if I want to upgrade just for 1 game.
>FPS/$
>They use the 390X instead of the 390
Love this meme
>>339310375
A 960 is the most 'budget' nvidia card all around. It won't run it on Ultra at 1080p (doom 4) without dipping into the 40's.
I was a sucker and got a 970.
I'm not upgrading my GPU again until 4k capable cards are a standard.
Not bothering with Pascal yet, my 980TI handles the Vive just fine.
>>339310637
A 1080 can run Doom 2016 maxed out a 4K
Are water coolers worth it, current gpu is really loud at 80c.
>>339310769
Pascal has some pretty good VR tech in it though
>>339310882
They are pretty effective on gpus if you want to go through the hassle of fitting and mounting it
Arctic also makes aftermarket air coolers for gpus
>>339310798
Need at least constant 60 on the games I play. DOOM 4k doesn't always stay at 60+
>>339310995
is there a reason 3rd party coolers for gpus are a lot rarer than cpu coolers?
maybe, my 7970 is starting to struggle a little bit.
>>339311037
It did for Jay
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22ePLtROm6I
>>339310525
I see
>>339310375
960 would max out most games on a 1440x900 res because that res is so small, it's roughly half as taxing as 1080p. On 1080p, 960 is decent but really struggles with newer games, so the 970 (or AMD equivalent, the 290x or 390) is far better suited for that resolution.
Probably. My 660ti is showing its age, and I want to play stuff like DOOM and TW3.
>Are you going to buy X?
should be an autoban for shilling
You guys think there will be a price drop on the 970 or 980 anytime soon?
>>339311168
Generally the 3rd party coolers for gpus get the job done just fine and keep them cooled even when overclocked, and even the reference coolers are ok for the most part
Cpu stock coolers are shit, and when they are overclocked they tend to put out more heat than gpus, so the aftermarket cooling for cpus is much bigger
>>339311247
Thanks man.
>>339309605
Nvidia said the 1070 is faster than a Titan and you fucks can't back pedal fast enough.
You make me sick.
>>339311237
Cool. Too bad that's only one game I'll probably never play.
>>339311168
smaller market, as most companies quickly abandon the reference coolers, because they are woefully inadequate to the task at hand.
>>339311325
It would have to be a pretty big price drop to justify not just spending $380 on a 1070 that will beat every 900 series card out there
>>339311456
Who said it wasn't?
The 1070 is pointless if I have a 980, right?
Was looking at getting a 1080, but UK prices are insane.
>>339309380
>there are no other countries besides America
In Australia that fucking card is going to be $1180 or some bullshit.
>>339311472
I was skeptical as FUCK when I played the new doom for the first time, I hated the idea of the rip and tear kills but I'll admit that the game is fucking great.
>>339308360
How does it compare to the 980 ti?
>>339309605
>>>/g/54808261
>>>/g/54808376
it's priced closer to a 980 than a 970, but it's no better an improvement than previous gen x70 and x60ti cards were at lower prices.
it's shit.
>>339311645
If you're still at 1080p yeah, it's overkill and a 980 will do fine for a good while longer
>>339311729
No one cares that you're poor and therefor mad anon
So it's a little more expensive, boo hoo get a job
>8 gig
When did this happen?
I still have 512mb
>>339311645
No upgrade that minor is worth it. You should wait for a much bigger performance improvement before spending more money.
Got a 980 way back when, so there's really no reason for me to upgrade right now... especially when half the games coming out nowadays just use pixel art shit anyway. Devs also just seem pretty focused on stylizing their games rather than going for realism or something. I honestly couldn't even name you 5 games that I've bought in the past three years that came close to taxing the card I have now.
There might be plenty of games out there that can, but it's not like I'm buying every single one.
Literally no games exists that would need this card
>>339311896
4k uber quality textures I guess
>>339311896
was much needed to help match the console's
>>339308360
nah I'm good
I'll wait till next gen
>>339311896
Shitty unoptimized ports happened
>>339311737
>>339311971
Cool, thanks anons.
I'll probably just grab myself a 2nd SSD.
>>339311978
>he think nVidia won't start gimping the 9 series cards with updates just like they did with the 7 series
>>339312116
good god some ginger males are unattractive as fuck
>>339312147
>gimping meme
that's a lie though, nobody has proved this shit people keep spewing
>>339311652
That's your problem
>>339308360
Based EVGA giving me a 1080 for my 980 Ti + 10 bucks for shipping.
>>339312147
Except the only issue of "gimping" was lower performance in Witcher 3 at launch on Kepler which was fixed a long time ago with a driver update, and everything since then has been conjecture and speculation with no proof

>>339312238
https://youtu.be/O7fA_JC_R5s
>>339312147
They already did. 970, 980 and 980ti are performing worse than 390, 390x and Fury X in a lot of benchmarks. They intentionally gimp Maxwell to make Pascal look better in benchmarks.
970 costs 350e in finland
1070 costs 380$ in usa
yay..
>>339312339
>entire channel dedicated to bashing Nvidia with an annoying accent
His little chart has been proven false many times, yet this video is still always posted for some reason

That's what you get for being Australian you shitcunt.
>>339312339
>20 minutes vid
post benchmarks proving this gimping meme, it should be easy
>>339312347
>970, 980 and 980ti are performing worse than 390, 390x and Fury X in a lot of benchmarks
Literally only in the 2 shitty DX12 games, and only by like 2-3fps yet AMD fags still cling to it like a life line
And it's not even because of gimping you fucking idiots
>>339312347
I don't get this. People always told me that AMD held the advantage is price/performance. Wouldn't gimping your previous set of cards just make people more likely to switch to AMD instead?
If this shit is true, then there's no reason for me to keep getting Nvidia cards.
I feel like I just got my 970 though
>>339312608
>If this shit is true
It's not, there's no evidence to it
Can't upgrade yet, but I'd probably would, my 770 is starting to show its age.
>>339312339
>>339312147
Nothing in that video says anything about gimping previous generation cards.
Here, have an actual video related to the topic you mook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvCsT_dk-1E
Apply yourself you meme spouting fuck.
No.
No reason for me to upgrade.
>>339312339
Nobody is denying that nvidia game works is bad for games, usually, but that's not what jumping means. Also the video refences the retarded benchmark by ruskies that shows the performance drop. The thing is: no other benchmark of F4 1.3 by different sites show that. No videos I've seen show that. I didn't get similar results myself. Only they managed to get results like that that. Its a dead giveaway that everyone who references that benchmark is a retarded drone.
>>339308360
tfw gaming with gtx 960 and cpu starts heating up of 75
>>339312608
nVidia have nearly 80% share of the PC graphics market.
These days you're pretty much forced to buy their shit.
>>339312674
Got mine at launch, it's been a good 2 years with no issues
Thing overclocks like a motherfucker
>>339312786
>These days you're pretty much forced to buy their shit.
AMD aren't a very good alternative.
>>339312742
>the entire second half is dedicated specifically to the reduction of performance on 7 series cards
Maybe you should try watching the video you austics shitbag.
>>339312913
I think you watched the wrong video. There is no reduction in performance.
>>339308360
Sure, if I ever get a game worth playing on the thing.
>>339312764
Yeah, Nvidia didn't lose performance with the Fallout patch, AMD just gained a lot more
Here's what the article from MaxPC said
>Meanwhile, if you heard rumors that Nvidia was intentionally crippling performance on older Kepler GPUs, we did run a quick test with a GTX 770 using both older and newer drivers and found no noteworthy changes, so you can hopefully rest easy.
>>339308360
Looks like a cheaper 980 Ti in current games.
>>339313029
With more memory and lower power draw
The only game I have that could take advantage of an upgrade is probably Witcher 3 or nuDOOM.
And my 780ti still gets really high and ultra settings so why the fuck would I?
>Firememe Exmeme
Real world benchs when?
>>339312913
Is English not your first language or something?
>>339313197
Maybe click on the OP link
>>339313147
I'm in the same boat. No reason to buy this shit on release. I can wait two more years probably and pick up a new card for cheap, either this or whatever the new AMD card will be if it's better.
>>339308360
Looks like a solid upgrade from my gtx 670
>>339313147
Steady 144 fps is desireable for some people.
>>339313390
If the rest of your shit can use the performance then sure it would be worth it to upgrade
But if you're still at 1080p60 like a lot of people it would be way overkill and a waste
>>339308360
No, I'm going to get some gasoline and a matchbox, it's cheaper that way
>>339308360
Why? My 390 is doing just fine.
>>339313545
if you spend 400-600dollars for a gpu you better have a 120-144 hz monitor.
>>339308360
would an i5-4430, non overclocked, and a 600w PSU be ok for the 1070 or am I gonna need to upgrade those as well?
>>339313835
I've got a 4k monitor but it's at 60hz. Does that satisfy your autism?
>>339308360
No, I'll buy Polaris if it's good, otherwise a 1080ti. First I'll wait for HDR monitors, just incase there's a surprise standard.
>>339308360
no I'm going to wait a few years for 14/16nm to be at peak
>just bought two 980 Tis a month ago
FUCK
>>339311168
Too many different designs/layouts for non-reference cards. Most people who will spend the time to replace the cooler will just buy a reference card and a waterblock.
>>339314240
use the evga stepup program or refund
>>339314129
Polaris is the mid-range GPU, Vega is the high-end
>>339314240
These cards have been known about for months and months, it's your fault for doing literally no research dumbass
>>339314129
>surprise standard
It's Rec. 2020.
I'll wait for the 60 version. I have a 960 2gb and it's fine for gaming at 1080p. The only game that gives me problems is DOOM, but it seems to shit the bed with a lot of 2gb cards in certain places. Pic related. I have an i5 4440 so I don't think my cpu is the problem here. This isn't a random drop. Whenever I look at certain places my frames drop to the 30s. This isn't the only place where my frames drop this bad. No matter what settings I drop or even if I turn the resolution down I get drops in these places.
>>339308360
>buying nvidia
I'd like actual developments to happen, no thanks.
>>339314423
Vega then, whatever AMD comes out with in the next few months.
>>339314545
Oh, goodie. I hadn't realised that the standard was going to be globally implemented. In that case I won't wait for it, I'll just anticipate it with enthusiasm.
Nah m8 I'll be getting the Strix 1080
>>339313390
Yeah, fucking autists.
Anything over 60 is basically superfluous and most people don't even have the reaction time for 144fps.
>>339315064
Not sure if bait but I'll still call you retarded
>>339315064
It's not so much about reaction, as low persistence images, and smoothness.
60Hz monitors typically have 2-3 frame persistence, i.e, ghosting, which is visually unpleasant. Furthermore 60fps, whilst not easily distinguishable on a frame-to-frame basis, does not appear unblurred and continuous to most people. There's now a fair amount of peer reviewed literature on the subject (which I don't have to hand, posting from a mobile unfortunately - easy to find though). I certainly notice the difference in smoothness between 60 and 144 (although not between 90 and 144).
>>339314879
AMD reveal when?
>>339315454
Tuesday
>>339315064
try playing cs, if you dont have 144hz monitor and game running at 300 fps+ its not competetively viable
>>339309605
it was the same back in sep 2014 when 970 got released...it was basically a flagship 780ti for 320$
if it stays around 500$ pricepoint its not THAT great either...
>>339315706
I don't play digital """"""""""sports""""""""""
Waiting to see what polaris offers since it's also so close. Upgraded to a 2560x1440 100hz screen and a 970 3.5gb is just not cutting it at that res.
>>339315454
1st of June.
>>339315781
You dont play games yet you browse /v/.
>>339316130
I was just playing Grandia II you double nigger.
>>339315386
If I get a 120/144hz monitor and play games at 60fps will I get screen tearing?
I currently have a 650 ti which has probably just about run its course. What card should I get that's not ridiculously expensive that would be pretty viable? I was looking at a GTX 960 4gb. which was only around $300 AUD. Anything higher than that starts to jump in price by a bit.

>>339316330
Not related topics. Screen tearing is a rendering call synchronisation issue, and is fairly similar to dropped frames. A fps that isn't an integer multiple or divisor of the refresh rate leads to delayed frames, not screen tearing (in most cases - long ago it would lead to screen tearing, but draw synchronisation has moved on a lot since then). That said, if you want to run at 60fps, you'd want 120hz. On the other hand, 144Hz goes into 24fps, which is good for your TV playback, and into either 72 fps or 48 fps, which should cover games if you're struggling. It does mean that 60fps isn't the golden point though.

I got my 970 2 years ago and it's fine for 1080p, but struggles badly at 1440p.
Still don't know if I should upgrade or not...
>>339317393
Thanks for the info
>>339316830
Well the rumors about Polaris say that the Polaris 10 will be somewhere between the 390x and the 980 for less than $300 USD with the Polaris 11 being more comparable to the 380x for sub $200 so either of those would be decent choices. 4GB 960 might still be a good choice though if its price drops as a response to the new hardware 380x would also be a good choice in that situation.
>>339316004
Full NDA apparently doesn't expire until later in June on the 29th which means we probably know when its actually being released.
>>339317974
