The 1070 is probably going to be £400 too. I was gonna import but then customs would fuck us. Some of the cards are bordering £590-600 at their cheapest. It's insane.
>>339383238
>>339383012

>>339379715
not the same anon but what are you talking about famalamadingdong, he said "bought 970 for $300, 1070 is $70 more".

>>339383238
Are you retarded?
For third world shitholes they take the price down so that they can actually make sales.
>>339383254
1080 OC hasn't been tested yet as all the sample cards nvidia handed out are locked. That's also the "founder's edition" which is nvidia's new way to say "reference card".
>>339383254
1080 can do 4k at >60fps but also when the custom PCB version come out you'll see some huge OC since right now the only reason we can't OC more is because the VRMs are at their limit. Then we'll also have cleaner power through 2-8pin. We'll see some high, safe ocs and some nasty framerates.
>>339383437
The 1080 OC is right on the line, the mythical 2.1Ghz is something that no reviewers are seeing right now.
>>339372007
AMD all the way baby
nvidia are the evil jews
I'm 6 generations behind now. Is there any reason for me to replace my graphic card when I only play old games anyway?
When's the standard (non-fouinders) one coming out?
I can't find a solid answer for the 1080 or the 1070.
>>339383639
>AMD
>can't even live up to their gimmicks (DX12 and 4k resolution, we swear we do it better)

How about instead of buying budget gpu garbage, you get a card with some value.
>>339383715
Why would you ask a question you already know the answer to? I'm not sure who it could bait.
>>339383731
Later in June. It was a paper launch after all.
The 1070 might be even later in June or July.
>>339383731
It's the same answer you'll get for a 970 vs a 980(ti).
The higher end cards are a better value, but more expensive.
>>339383749
>nvidia
>value
the jokes write themselves
Really not wise to get a 1080 now
AMD Vega could be out by October, forcing Nvidia to release the 1080 Ti early & price cut the 1080
Plus 1080 is only really good at super high clocks, so wait for the liquid cooled variants which are coming soon, 2.5ghz 1080 would be quite nice
>>339375778
Then why the fuck did you come post in this thread?
>>339383802
I'm wondering if there is something I might be missing. I doubt it but who knows?
AMD has consistently worse drivers than nvidia, brand loyalty for AMD makes absolutely no sense.
Why does everyone shit on EVGA that I talk to? Is it just because they happened to buy a different brand and they needed to one up me?
Every time I talk to anyone else with a 970 on TeamSpeak or Steam and I tell them it's EVGA they're just like "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmya shoulda got a [whatever exact brand they have] because [some retarded problem that has never happened to me despite owning the GPU for months and having owned an EVGA prior]"
This happened with someone who owned an MSI, and another who owned an ASUS. I bet if they talked to each other, the same exchange would happen.
Like, nigga, stop nitpicking about your almost identical hardware with a different cooler attached.
>>339383906

>>339381846
Who actually buys the most expensive?
Mid line ones always can max every game, and often $200+ cheaper
>>339383369
>spending hundreds of dollars without proper research
bought the evga 1080 founders, depending on how hot it runs in my build, I may use the step up program in the future.
>>339383906
I doubt it will hit 2.5 at all. The problem people are seeing with custom 1080 are voltage limitation rather than thermal limitation(which was the case with Founders Edition).
I doubt we'll see 2.1 or 2.2 Ghz max.
>>339383887
>runs cooler

They cost more for a reason. That reason is that they're not complete garbage sold to retards at a "value price".
Everything AMD makes is trash.
>>339383906
WAIT! WAIT! DON'T BUY ALWAYS WAIT!
>not getting pny
How expensive is it for a company to invest in graphics hardware research? This industry is in dire need of competition.
>>339384037
Their gpu builds suck. They're noisy and hot, and they don't make up for it with OC potential.
Back in the 600 series, they were the best, but they have not kept up.
>>339383558
People got to 2.1 but they had to pull power out of the memory.
>>339384110
Are you okay?
>>339383906
>AMD Vega could be out by October, forcing Nvidia to release the 1080 Ti early & price cut the 1080
Only if it is out by October, and only if it's competitive enough for them to release early and drop the price significantly.
>Still not really 4k ready
What's the point?
The 980ti can max every game except Ark at like 100+fps, and likely will for years to come.
The 1080 still drops below 60fps on most modern games in 4k.
Its a card that doesn't need to exist. Just give it a few years for a card that can really do 4k before you go past a 980ti
>>339384181
you don't have enough money.
theres enough competition.
i don't want to deal even more drivers

Not the 760 and 970. I can't hear it at all most of the time, and hear a tiny faint noise when it's the middle of summer in Florida (right now) with my faster custom fan speed.
Now my 9600 GSO, that was a fucking airplane, but that was an old blower in a poorly cooled prebuilt that was blanked in dust constantly.
>>339384346
They run hot.
The fans get loud as fuck.
They're notorious for coil whine.
They don't have better OC than other builds.
>>339383927
because 9XX fags will know that beyond the 12gb of vram, they are almost the same, even better because they are non reference.
And im seing 970 fags seeing arranged charts to show that the card is twice as fast, wich is not plain thruth, there is a driver play here too.
No one replied, not even baits, so i kept the thread rolling.
Still, this new cards just rise the celling a little more, 40% in non reference ocd cards at most in real conditions, its not that impresive.
Still.. people will buy reference 10xx despite the fact they power trottle alot.
>>339384264
It wasn't a meme, it was a legitimate issue.
It was an issue with the first release.
can we expect the 980ti to outperform the 1070? should i get a 980ti now or wait to get the 1080/1070. budget PC anon here

It's funny when I first heard this, I had to Google what it even means because I was trying to see if I could ever figure out what the hell it even is I'm supposed to pretend I can hear.
Now I'm not gonna be a total faggot here, if these are common EVGA problems, I'm not ruling it out. But it certainly isn't for every single one, as I've owned a 760 and a 970 as mentioned above.
>>339384553
1070 is on par with Titan X
So uh...is there actually a reason to get a 1080?
Upcoming game-wise, I mean.
>>339384713
Depends on your display.
>>339381846
Because not everyone can afford to buy the best hardware. And the 70-50 of the series are cheaper, better and more power-efficient versions of 80 of an older series. For example, you can buy the huge, bulky and power hungry 280, or you can instead get a 650 that has basically the same performance (don't quote me on that, I don't know the details), but is built with new technology, allowing it to be much smaller and power efficient.
>>339384553
with new driver updates, the 1070 will outperform the 980ti.
the 1070 already outperforms the 980ti on a lot of games.

>>339381409
No this is ALWAYS the case.
When the 980ti it was "wait for the Fury X, it will beat the ti and cost less". Fury X came out, had to have a watercooler because it was the only way they could get the power close to that of the 980ti without it igniting. It ended up being the same price, and over all it barely beat out the 970.

>>339386059
nvidia knows that if they price drop their old card, it will kill the sales of their newest cards.
Also worth consideration, nvidia stops manufacturing their old cards once they get a couple generations ahead. So the prices of old cards skyrockets as retailers attempt to brutally dry fuck people who need the older cards for SLI.

You don't need 144fps to use a 144hz monitor, dofus.

And yes, they assume there is a EU manufacturer for PC hardware that can compete with the US.

Name one generation of gpus where AMD beat nvidia for quality and performance.
Name one generation where AMD beat nvidia for driver quality.
Name one generation with AMD beat nvidia for power efficiency.
Name one generation where AMD beat nvidia for gpu temps under load.
Name one generation where AMD beat nvidia for gpu noise under load.

So as someone who wants to run witcher 3 max 60 fps, what should I upgrade to from an r9 280x?
>>339387464
It's not wrong. nVidia has always had more of a market share than AMD. And it's a lead by a WIDE margin. AMD has like 21% with nVidia having 79% of the market.

every time a game comes out they flood the official forums for that game with cries of "PLEASE OPTIMISE FOR AMD CPU AND GPUs!" Why do they keep falling for this?
Am I the only one completely fine with the amount of detail that 1080p can display? I mean, it's a fucking lot of detail.
Jeez.

Just checked the gtx1080. It literally costs $1000 if I bought it here in germany.

980, 980ti (Can also use Hairworks), 1070, 1080. I'm assuming 1070 and 1080 will also be able to use Hairworks without killing the FPS. It's gotten a little better, but is still a hit to performance.

I'm personally waiting for the FTW from EVGA. Gonna stick my dick in the custom BIOS.
>>339388423
>Gigabyte
>most superior for OC
Except that's wrong, faggot. Gigabyte locks up a ton of OC shit because their cards can't handle OC.
If you want OC, go with EVGA if you're using a liquid cooling system, otherwise go with MSI.

It's literally something that exists to make you spend money before you spend it all again on 4k displays in a year or so.

Kill yourself
>>339388627
Gigabyte has the highest from factory stable overclocks in the business. I personally don't like them. They also have the highest TDP air cooler on the market, but it sounds like a banshee so I'm not a fan.
EVGA forever.
>>339387901
Once you go 1440p you will never go back. The leap from 1080 to 1440 is massive. 1440 to 2160 not as noticeable in motion but massively more demanding on a cpu

Make sure you buy a curved display with 3D while you're at it, goy!

Even without using liquid cooling they fixed their ACX problems with 2.0 and are quite good now. They can get loud though.
>>339387363
O I am laffin
Remember how great the 780 Ti was when it came out? I remember it being the "god" card for a while like the 980 Ti was this past gen. With the latest drivers for both cards, the 290x beats it or matches it in almost every benchmark, be it 3DMark or actual in-game performance when it was the exact opposite by a fair margin when both cards first released. The 290x even launched before the 780 Ti. At launch, the 780 Ti scored 4906 in Firestrike Extreme and with the latest drivers it now pulls 4774. The 290x at launch managed 4676 and it now scores 5061 (!!!). I bet a year or two from now you'll see the 390x outperforming the 980 Ti, how the fuck can anyone deny that Nvidia is shitting all over older cards with every single WHQL release they put out just so they can sell more new cards?
Pic related, benches done recently with the latest drivers from both vendors. The story was different when these cards first launched but now the 3xx series cards are sweeping the 9xx cards at every price point except for the very high end which is a tiny percentage of the market anyways. Notice the 390 handily beating the 970 even though it only traded blows with it or was beaten by it when it first launched.
AMD cards age like fine wine, Nvidia cards like milk. I'll be laughing at the Nvidiots when Mankind Divided comes out and AMD crushes everything pre-Pascal.
Nvidia is a meme, people buy their shitty hardware for the same reason they buy Macbooks and Beats headphones.
What the fuck. I'm in the market for a new GPU and have money to spend, but I don't know what I should even go for because there's always "XX IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER WHICH RESULT IN YY."

>>339389138
The problem with buying anything computer related is that something is "always around the corner". Why get the 1080 when the 1080ti is out in a few months. Before that was why get the 980ti when a whole new chipset is going to drop in 6 months.
>>339380709
Computex webcast literally happens tomorrow at 7pm. You're an idiot.

Nvidia Gigabyte cards aren't voltages locked.
The Gigabyte G1 Gaming series are the best Nvidia cards you can buy.
>>339389569
Just buy the 1070/80.
AMD cards take a year or two to get decent anyway.
>>339389247
I got mine in January 2015 at CES for 700 bucks and every game I play supports it perfectly except Overwatch (some shit about it being unfair to 16:9 gaymurs the devs said)
Stay mad poorfag. I'll upgrade to a 32" 4k 16:9 monitor when HDR 10bit displays come out. (Hopefully OLED). Hopefully they'll be under 2,000US at launch.
>>339380917
>>339381770
Don't forget to check the expiry date on that extinguisher you keep at the side of your desk.
>>339389492
Yes get a card that will finally give you game support a year after the game has come out and you've moved on.
AMD cuck logic. Sure I don't play GTA V anymore, but if I did it would run a whole lot better now than when the game was actually relevant.
>>339389492
>O I am laffin
>780ti god card
I am laffin too. The 700 series was all trash; anyone who grabbed a 700 series instead of a 680ti was a fucking retard.
The 980ti has proven itself all through this gen of gpus.
AMD is fucking trash.

I know my aged wine catches fire every now and then. Spicy!
>>339389858

Travesty.
I really want to try a gimmicky UW monitor for Stronghold though.
>>339389858
take that i7 to a little more, and you have computer for like 3 more years before the celling gets too high.
of go for a 4790k and take it to 4.6ghz and are done for more years in that regard.
