>buying parts for my new computer
>can never find a place that has a 1080 in stock
So when will we actually be able to buy these things?
They're sold out, as every major card does. It'll take a month or two before they start distributing the second wave.
Yasterday i found cards selling at amazon for the right price 699$ for founder edition. I am sure that it can be found else where too.
If you are looking for the custome ones you will have to wait for for a week or two til they shows up
Don't buy this, wait for their better cards to show up. If you need some small performance now, get a RX480 for time being, and later throw it in the trash when better nvidia cards come later this year.
Are the not-shit versions even available for purchase yet?

i thought smoke was coming out of that GPU in image, but it was just a hand

>Don't buy this, wait for their better cards to show up.
I've been doing this for the past 5 years...when will it stop?
>>340254826
You're paying overprice for a card that doesn't do 4k gaming. They'll do a monster card later this year that will be more capable than this.
>>340254826
1070 or the 480 are a good purchase. It was worthwhile to wait for 16nm, since we're not going to get another die shrink for 5ish years. The only thing making me think to wait is HBM2 memory next gen.
>>340254826
The current cards are the reference versions. 3rd party cards (EVGA, MSI, etc) will have better coolers.
If you can, lowball with a 970 or similar card. Wait until tax time because around that time, a good majority of hardware flaws will be fixed, and other companies like EVGA, ASUS, etc., will have gotten their hands on them and added SC+ and built-in watercooling.
I myself am waiting for an EVGA watercooled GTX 1080 to purchase around tax time next year.
>>340254540
>better nvidia cards come later this year
What?
>>340256035
Nvidia will release better cards than 1080 this year.
>>340256230
How much better?
>>340253828
>buying reference

Just posting the winning card.
>>340256335
If they have HBM2 they should be much better
>>340256390
Enjoy the last year's card with total 1 year of lifespan
>>340256414
I thought that's what the 1080 had
>>340256653
nope, it has GDDR5x
Bought a 960 cuz fuck you faggots.
>>340256498
actually I'm buying 2 of these and beating the 1080 for 1/2 the price anon ;)
>>340256862
The problem with having 2 cards is that there's bound to be bad support for sli/crossfire . 2-4 cards configs are good for working people, but for gaming 1 card is best.
>>340256713
What are these cards going to be called and how much will they cost?
>>340256943
>1 card is best
>my gtx 1080 I paid $699 for
>>340257018
No he's objectively right.
Crossfire/SLI support is fucking terrible in gaming. Single card performance will always be better.
However for non gaming shit crossfire works fine.
>>340257018
Who the fuck buys a Founder's Edition bullshit?
>>340256963
no idea, I just know that AMD is coming with Vega later this year, and that will have HBM2. If Nvidia doesn't want to be late into the game, they better have one too.

>>340256390

It's coming for sure, they need a contender for 1080
>>340258065
Fuck I meant 490
>>340253828
Wait for third party coolers newfriend.
>>340256713
Isn't that practically the same shit?

16gb of HBM for $349... No. You're fucking retarded or trolling. I don't know which would be worse in this situation.

Doesn't using two cards generate a fuckton more heat?

All 1080s i can find are 800€+ on amazon, even founders editions. wtf.

Sure senpai, and he's still right because those fuckers won't ship until August.
>>340260002
Yes. Stop crying and actually do something in your life. Pay attention when release dates are. Search for possible times when it'll release. If you care enough to cry about it on a Mongolian image board you can care enough to do something about it.
>>340260372
rawr
so fierce
>>340260171
They'll ship in early July and arrive mid to late July... Is this seriously everyone's first fucking rodeo?
>>340260450
which is why the original poster in this whole conversation said he picked the worst time to build a first time PC
>>340260535
The worst time would have been 3 months ago when everyone said to wait without knowing how good this gen was going to be. Now at least we have benchmarks and know what we're dealing with. I have to beg to differ.
>>340258186
>not wanting to heat your house with glorious 100c cards

>>340260450
>Ship in early July
Nigga we're not even going to be getting the aftermarket 1080s until late June/early July. Fat fucking luck getting an aftermarket 1070 shipped early June.

They're putting the same coolers from the 1080 on the 1070. Asus is going to role out with with a large number of cards much more quickly than usual because they have automated the process for making them. We'll see what quality they are though because of that.
>>340258884
using 2 780s in SLI.
top one when playing witcher 3 is always @ 77-80C when playing @ 60 fps, capping @ 30 fps cuts about 10-15C.
and a single 780 never hit 80C when playing with the same settings as SLI. Ofc hitting almost alltime 60fps was impossible but temps were much lower.
In SLI my top 780 is basically a fucking frying pan.
If someone is thinking about going SLI/Crossfire, I tell you one thing, don't, it's not worth the hassle.
In many games you can experience barely any performance improvement and there were situations when I had negative performance compared to single card.
>>340261353
I actually have a 780 and considered SLI in the past. Glad I didn't go that route.
SLI/CF is the biggest meme ever
you never want multiple card setups
>not buying the founders edition
m-muh coolers though
>>340261642
Paying more money for less performance. That's what you just said.
>>340261725
paying more money to get it first
Pls don't buy now, there will be better cards out in 10 years
>>340261869
Well I can't argue with that... But I have a 780 which is serving me fine. I'll just wait because I value my money.
>>340261873
what's funny is, AMD's competition for 1070/1080 will only come out in Q1 2017
by then Nvidia will have the 1080ti as well!
>>340261642
>paying extra money for the founders edition
they call it that because their company is founded on you idiots

It looks like hot ass but it runs.
>>340253828
In stock here. Too bad they cost 800€.
>>340256390
The better cards are coming out later in the year. No logical reason to go for their budget card now. It is meant to clean the slate for the top end stuff. You get rid of the old, reset the foundation, then build on top of it.
It's a good budget card, I agree and its power is a testament to what next gen is capable of, but it's meant as a low end alternative to the pricier future stuff. Be smart for once in your life.
Two years from now, you'll see this:
>Bought a 480 for $200
>520xxSephirothxx is $250 and performs 40% better

Get a lead of this huevo.

They're taking advantage of retards by claiming the price is due to "demand" when the cards are always bought wholesale at the same price.

it's just australia being australia

>Every card costs >750€
>all these first wave memelords wasting their money on a 1070/1080
Now watch when Nvidia shits out a 1080Ti and 960/960Ti to shit both cards on the same price range
>>340263686
>on the same price range
How delusional.
>>340263686
>same price range.
The 1080ti will be at least $1000
>>340263686
They haven't done a x60ti since the 600 series. They probably won't start now. Also the wait and see approach is retarded because with that logic nobody will ever buy anything.
>>340263221
I got a 6950 reference card in 2011 that had the same fan design as the Op. Last year, it would hit 90c, and shut off my pc. So I cracked it open fully, and cleaned it out thoroughly. It was either that, buy a new card or let it fry my mother board and cpu.
The fan design in those types of models with a fan to the right side, is like a one way vent. The fan spins, the metal vent passes air inside and out the back. What I'm trying to say is, that if you have pets, that fan design will give you great trouble in the future. All that dust, hair and lint builds up at the entrance to the vent near that fan.
The card in your picture has open grill vents with large fans which is much easier to clean yearly. Now that I know this, I'm telling others too cause it's something they should be aware of. If you have pets, dusty living quarters or heavy lint carpets; don't get the one fan design. Opt for the multifan open grill models.
Pic related was my card and those were idle web surfing temperatures.
>>340263875
I think it might just be a 6900 series issue.
I have a 6970, an ASUS card with two open air fans on it from 2011, and this is my idle temp of browning the web.
GTX 1060 = Entry-level
GTX 1070 = Budget-level
GTX 1080 = Mid-Range
GTX 1080 Ti = High-end
GTX Titan White = Enthusiast
Don't get mid-range crap if you want to play video games.

Make your bait a bit less obvious next time.
