Which do you have?
Are you upgrading to any of the new cards that've been announced? If so, what vidya are you looking forward to maxing out?
I've got a stock 660ti, and I'm upgrading to a 1080 FTW.
Looking forward to maxing out GTAV and Witcher 3.
>660ti
So I assume you play at 1080p 60fps?
The gtx 1080, and the gtx 1070 as well, are completely, utterly overkill for 1080p 60fps gaming. These cards are 1440p or 144hz cards. I mean it's your money, but just know you're wasting your own money by buying graphics cards that overkill for 1080p 60fps.
>>340375556
not op, but going with a 1070 and 144hz is my plan
I hope you have a good cpu and motherboard to support that fucking card.
>>340375556
I play 1080p at whatever my card can manage. I am getting a 1440p 144hz monitor. I'm super stoked.
>>340375647
Same here
>>340375656
I wonder will my 3570k be a bottleneck?
>>340375656
CPUs bottlenecking GPUs are much leas of an issue these days.
>>340375824
You should be fine.
Have a Sapphire Tri-X 290 here.
Gonna get that sweet sweet 490 once it's announced.
Is the 480 supposed to be on par with a 390x?
>>340375327
I love my 780ti.
I just splurged and bought all new computer parts today
>>340376036
>tfw I was considering a 390x before the 480 was announced
That price point, so good.
If I'm gonna get a GTX 1070 and I need a GPU now, can I buy a 970 from EVGA's site and then use their step up program to upgrade to a 1070 when they're released? I'm getting extremely impatient and I don't have a GPU right now to play precious vidya.
I want to build a desktop after 12 years. I'm only gonna be on 1080p 120 because that's all my tv shows. My friend said I could do well with R9 290x or 970. Is those good cheap cards, don't want to spend more than $250 (ebay or newegg).
>>340376232
Well, go on, show us.
I'm going to buy the 480 and hope to get 1440p at 60fps steady
Am I wrong to think this is a possibility?
I have a 980 Ti. Pic related to be specific.
Not upgrading this year since I have absolutely no reason to. I play on 1080p 60hz TV.
>>340376326
The 1070s come out on the 10th, you can wait two days man.
>>340376394
Yes.
Have 770 with 2 gigs. It's a pain in the ass that games require a shitton of vram I don't have, so I'm planning on getting 1070
>>340376484
what are you basing this off of? No benchmarks out yet
>>340376465
I want the ACX cooler though, fuck stock coolers. And it's gonna be like a month before they're released, tested, good drivers, and all that shit.
>>340375327
390 here. I should be fine for a while.
>>340376348
1080 and a i7-6700K along with it along with a new case and mobo. Upgrading from fairly old shit and a 970 which barely run games well with my new 1440p monitors
>>340376394
I don't think you'll be able to do 1440p 60fps maxed in newer games, but with some settings turned to high instead of ultra you might hit it.
>>340376250
>built my computer last year
>300 series gets announced
I fucking hated myself for a good month.
>>340376575
Then yeah, you can do that, I think. Make sure to read all the info they have on the step up program to be sure you're doing it right. I've never done it, myself.
>>340375327
I have a 4GB GTX 680. I'm hopefully going to be upgrading to a GTX 1080 in a few months, with a waterblock to add it to my custom loop (my GTX 680 is air cooled). This venture might get costly because I'll probably also need to add a 120x120mm radiator to my loop to compensate for the additional heat (I've got a D5 pump though, which should have no trouble driving a CPU, GPU and 360mm worth of radiators). I'll probably do it as a Christmas gift for myself. Hopefully by then there are some good waterblocks available.
>>340376758
Man, I've always thought watercooling was neat, but I've never OC'd hard enough to need it.
My 290 can't get any drivers to install. Even tried new BIOS. Still no luck. I shipped it to my bro in AUS for warranty. He's planning to wait this June for 480.
I'm a poorfag who still uses a GT630
>>340375556
well with 1080 you can 1080p 60fps for pretty much the next decade so I don't know if it actually is a waste
I'm upgrading to a 1070 fromintel HD 4000
>>340378057
With 1070 too, actually. Maybe not on ultra, though. It's just ~20% slower
thinking of getting my first gaming pc for when the 480 comes out, how good do you figure the Witcher 3 would run with a 480 and an i5 6500
>>340375327
I have pic related. Since I play 1080p 60 Hz it's ok, although it's definitely starting to show it's age with the latest games.
Say /v/, I'm seriously thinking about getting a gtx 1070, it's seems to be a decent jump in performance from my dusty 770. Might experience a little bit of bottleneck with my fx8350, but it shouldn't be anything to worry about considering it's OC'd to 4.6 GHz.
I was wondering though: when are third party 1070 gonna hit the market? I know the official release date of the reference 1070s is June 10th, but I'm not getting that impotent fanlet cooler.
>>340375556
It's called future-proofing. The 1070 is an extremely cost effective card that will guarantee you'll run ANYTHING at 1080p60fps for years to come.
>>340377342
There are benefits to water cooling even if you don't OC-- the biggest one being that you can have the fans run at a very low RPM which makes the performance whisper quiet.
>>340378214
Ouch. Have you only ever had onboard?
GTX 970 aka "Meme card"
it runs everything I throw at it,
no plans on upgrading anytime soon.
>>340378408
yessir. I'm ready to see the light.
I also only had dial-up internet until 2012 when I moved out on my own
>>340375327
I have a 970
I use three 1080p displays
I'll buy a new card once they make a $300 one that average games are capable of 4k/60fps
>>340378331
Eh, the fans on my rig are already almost noiseless even at higher speeds. Honestly I'm pretty amazed at how far fan tech has come since the days of jet engine FX 5800s. But still, fair point.
>>340375556
1070 can't even hit 60 w/hairworks.
i have an xfx 1gb radeon 7850
I think ill upgrade to an r9 480x for $200
im a poor college student so im not sure if its worth it.
>>340378674
That's not really a valid metric. Hairworks is poorly optimized gimpworks and doesn't even look good.
>>340378516
Oh, man. I wish I could experience the joy and ecstacy you're in for for the first time again. Cherish it, man. And don't forget it's okay to cry a little.

>>340378805
It's not even true, too.
At 1080p, the 1070 is always between 65-75fps.
Assuming you have a top, top line CPU because fuck Witcher 3 and it's cpu requirements.
>>340376394
We can't know, there aren't many benchmarks for the cards out. You'll definitely be able to handle it at 1440p 60fps at medium/low settings at worst.
>playing games in anything but 4k
wew lad.
>tfw going from a 570 2.5 to a 1070
No more 720p gaming for me.
Also, my air conditioning costs will go down.
If you buy any card from nVidia before they actually give you 2x performance over Maxwell AND HBM then you are simply retarded. The AMD competitor to the 1070 is only 200$ and has HBM right now.
Not saying AMD is good, but nVidia is shit tier right now.
>>340378057
>>340378236

Stop pushing this meme.
Everyone knows that the 1070 is a tier higher and performs as fucking such.
>>340379089

>>340379089
>tfw won't even need a GPU to play games in a few years because everything will be in 8K

>>340376465
They'll be sold out, jackass
>>340379263
Oh shit, really? I'm on a 780m right now.
>>340379263
You know what feels really shady about them selling it that low.
That they almost know its a fucking flop and they just want to sell as many as they can to poorfags until they announce the ultra 480 for $500
Just did a semi-major upgrade and sold my 980 Ti for $550 to get a GTX 1080, got a new case, and some better RAM then what I had previously (32GB is absolutely overkill, but RAM prices for DDR3 are so cheap right now, fuck it).
I do like the 1080 and I have not had the issues other have. However, if you can get a 980 Ti for $350 new or used, or a 1070, you are good. It boils down to your resolution at the end of the day, and framerate you want to play shit at.
i don't get the appeal of the 1070 and 1080.
according to steam hardware surveys, virtually no one games at higher than 1080p. those cards are built for 1440p, using them for 1080p shittery is just consumerist waste.
these cards are in a weird spot where they're too powerful to be useful to 95% of pc gamers. there's never going to be a time in the next 5-6 years where a gtx 1080 is appropriate for 1080p 60fps gaming.
i7-2600k + GTX 560
I was going to buy one of the new cards but Denuvo hasn't been cracked so there's no point.
>>340379390

is this thing worth getting If I'm going with a 970 and an i5 6500
>>340379015
Why the fuck do you need 9 tb of storage?
>>340379341
Not really. Nvidia game themselves more time to produce the 1070, and uses more readily available parts than the 1080 (namely gddr5 vs gddr5x). They might sell out, but it won't be as bad as the 1080.
>>340379445
Doesn't matter.
With your CPU, you'll be bottlenecked by anything more than a 980.
No point.
>>340379390

>>340379390
They're for the VR retards to run their PS2 games at stable 90.
They're too powerful for 1080p ultra but not powerful enough for shit like hair works and downsampling. They're shit for 1440p too because GDDR5X isn't good enough.
They are cuck cards and you should not buy them, but everyone will anyway because they're retards.
>>340379484
Plus, all the aftermarket boards will be made in greater numbers for the xx70 cards.
Allegedly, EVGA is launching an aftermarket 1070 the same day that the reference comes out.
>>340379450
but much like resolutions higher than 1080p, no one is buying VR stuff.
for good reason too. VR is entirely minigames and little tech demos. in terms of gaming, it's just as gimmicky as the wiimote/psmove/kinect because it doesn't allow for proper movement of your character, which limits the amount of games that can be made for it.
>>340379475
Anon.. Don't question it.
>>340379390
8Gigs of VRAM. More power to play unoptimized games at 60fps. You can downsample other games.
>>340379390
1440p and 4k monitors haven't taken off because there wasn't the graphics cards to power them. This fixes that, especially with the 1070 making 1440p gaming cheaper.
>>340379484
I hope you're right
>>340379367
Yeah, I mean, I really really hope it's legit and a fantastic card and gives nvidia competition, but something about it has me thinking we'll be seeing a higher than normal failure rate.

If you have an older, but decently overclocked CPU, like a 4.5 Sandy Bridge, 2133 ddr3 can make up 80-90% of the difference between you and a brand new cpu.
>>340378057
Not really. Just look at how the 580, 680 or even 780 is holding up.
Like don't get me wrong if you're not a graphics whore these cards can last a long time, but it makes far more sense to spend $200 on a card that plays todays games at ultra/60 and then upgrade every 2 years than to try and make a $600 card last six years.

>>340380023
CPU and GPU are most important. Nowadays GPUs are the bottleneck so GPU is probably most important because most decent CPUs will do just fine.
RAM is mostly the same, as long as you have 8gb of DDR3 or DDR4 you're doing great. (difference between DDR3 or DDR4 is minuscule by the way)
rest of stuff is just system health. you want a well built motherboard that has good warranty and fits all ur shit.
you want a case you like b/c you have to look at the damn thing for the next decade and you want it to fit all of ur shit inside of it.
power supply needs to be from a reputable manufacturer with the necessary wattage and a good warranty
you might look at a aftermarket CPU cooler if you're overclocking or want something quiet or fancy, but the stock cooler that comes with the CPU is usually just fine.
then there's peripherals like disk drives and dildo holsters.
I'll play in 4k when a single card can support 60fps ultra 90% of the time.

>>340375327
GTX 770 here.
Don't know if its worth upgrading now or not. I've played quite a few modern games on this card and as much as people claim that games are poorly optimized these days it just doesn't run games as well as I would hope for.
Is the new Radeon 480 worth going for? $200 for 1070 levels of performance sounds great.
>>340380793
Oh wait, I just looked it over.
It's bigger than this one and has three built-in fans, two in the bottom and one in the front.
Same manufacturer though.
980
no
>>340380853
Considering how bad Nvidia fucked you guys, I'd go with the 480.
But if you want the highest current performance, you have to go with the 10XX series.
>>340379052
Seriously, wtf is this game doing with this much cpu usage! I know the game looks fucking amazing, but gpu should be the one choking not cpu!
I got a R9 270x 4gb thrown into a bundle I got yesterday for £200.
(FX8350, 2x8gb Ram, R9 270X, MSi 970 Gaming motherboard)
So that would be my best card. Before that it was a R7 250 in an office PC.
I'm going to get a RX 480 when they come out. Should set me up for cheap and comfy gaming for some time.
>>340378496
such a liar. it struggles with modern games like rise of the tomb raider
>>340380765
Fuck no. These blow over in a month or so. Console Wars are a permanent cancer that's always plaguing the site.
>>340380853
480 is not 1070. It's around 980 level of performance. On the other hand 1070 will give you 2x performance of your 770, which equals Titan X.
>>340380853
>$200 for 1070 levels of performance sounds great.
Please don't believe misinfo.
They compared CF'd 480s to a 1070.
I was gonna wait for the 480, but I currently have no GPU at all, and I really really really want to play videogames, so I'm probably gonna cave and buy a 1070.
>>340380853
Not even AMD is saying it has 1070 levels of performance. The 1070 will handily outperform the 480 and AMD has no trouble admitting that, they're just not in the same price bracket.
>>340380935
Has to do with NPC actions and population.
There's a reason that FPS always tanks in Novigrad.

Have a 660TI, gonna buy an used 970 once 1070 hits the market.
>>340376036
>>340376250
I wants to get ati but nvidea gansters keep buying devs to optimise games for their card. Fucking whoresons
>>340381004
But GPUs are released all throughout the year. Eventually AMD will release the next Fury and Nvidia will release the 1080ti. And then six months later there will be a new architecture from both sides and even more shitposting.

I have 980ti
want 1080ti
Stuck with nvidia because wife bought me a gsync monitor
1070 or RX 480?
personally myself, I'm waiting until the high end ATI cards to come out and then see. At the very least to hope it drives prices down at least a little before I choose.
Tho if the ATI card has decent/better performance at a decent price difference then I may just go that option instead
>>340381172
True but there's also the fact that there are only about 3 of these threads at one time, max. At any given point in time no matter when, be it E3 or Christmas, there are always a minimum of 10 console war threads or some redundant, pointless thread bashing Sony or Nintendo.
>>340375327
I have an R9 380. It plays what I want well enough at 1080p. I probably won't ever get a new card because the amount of new games I play is less and less every year.
I'm going to stick with my 970 until 4K @ 60fps is viable
>>340381296
These cards aren't competing with each other. The 1060 is what would be competing with the 480, but that's not even announced yet. All we have is leaks saying it'll have 6gb vram.
>>340381270
...I suppose that I could sell my copy of Shining Force III for it.
But is it really worth it?
>>340381309
kill yourself
>>340381507
Are you a NEET or something?
Also don't sell anything you dummy
>>340381296
If you have a 1080p 60hz monitor the 480. 1440p and/or 144hz the 1070.
>>340381454
This is probably a good idea for everyone.
I would stick with a 970 or the RX 480 when it drops at the end of the month. If the GTX 1080 can't do 4k at 60fps then it's not worth the money. No reason to upgrade if a card can't do that.
>>340381565
>Are you a NEET or something?
Unemployed for a year.
Unless I can get a job somehow I'm stuck at home.
>>340381296
The RX 480 has 400 more stream processors than the 1070 but only has 4gb vram
>>340380853
770 fag here too.
I think I'm going with nvidia, I literally can't with AMD's nonexistent driver support. Last week I spent couple of hours trying to find and install a driver for some retarded mobile GPU on my laptop at work. Turns out that for many mobile cards AMD has literally no standalone drivers and their site forces you to download and install their catalyst bullshit a thousand times without ever getting the dirvers you're looking for.
As far as nvidia's drivers being shit and making houses burn down, that's as meme as memes get. Most of my friends are nvidiots and I never, ever heard anyone having temp issues with their GPUs. Same goes for my gtx770 - the shit stays at 72-75 degrees at full load.
The 480 looks like a decent card, but I don't have much time nowadays and I just like to plug my new GPU in the slot, install the fucking drivers and be done with it. And from what I know and hear (never really used an AMD GPU, except from a few mobile cards, 2 of which literally burned the fuck out), AMD is decent, but shit enough in quite a few departments, both hardware, software as well as customer service wise. And that's enough for me to go nvidia.
>>340381649
Well get the best AMD card you can buy until then.
>>340380989
lies. i run it fine 1080p 60fps
is a 750w psu enough? I don't plan on overclocking
>>340381454
I'd rather have 1440p/144fps anyways.
>>340380184
>100 Canadian Dollar equals
78.51 US Dollar
For a 370? Nah, that's a solid price. Bonus if it's actually the 4GB version.
Currently with 970
Runs great on all games, but suffers greatly when running dual monitors.
Waiting to see users review on the 10 series. The 3.5gb setup on 970 did damaged my ratings on nivida. May switch to amd if Nivida cheat again.
>>340381774
A GOOD 500 or 550w is enough.
A Supernova G2 500w or something will work fine with a 1070 and an overclocked cpu.
>>340375327
I have a 280x, upgrading to a Sapphire 480 (if it ain't shit).
My 144hz freesync monitor is coming in a few days too.
>>340380750
tfw I managed to snag the last evga 1080 after the gigabyte one sold out before I had the chance to order it today
>>340381565
nah happy as I am thankyou, if I can save a few bucks and get good/top tier performance I'll be happy. If I can't, welp there will be better versions of the cards most likely out to buy for the current premium prices.
>>340381774
Have 650w. More than enough to run even two gpus
thoughts? I bought a chapter of the new hitman and I'm getting like 40fps on both 1080p and 1440p with things set to low in certain areas
>>340381826
It is the 4GB version. I was playing Red Orchestra 2 on very high settings today and feeling the opposite of buyer's remorse.
>>340379015
so rich you don't even comprehend building a nas, or raiding ssds, or buying intel ssds. pls spend your trust fund on something else, this image only makes you look stupid.
>>340381662
I'm going to get the 8gb model.
A bit more, but I think it will be worth the extra.
>>340375327
got a 980, might upgrade to 1080ti if/when that comes
>>340381826
>the 4gb meme on shit cards
Yeah, nah. It's useless. A 4gb 960 is useless. A 4gb 380 is somewhat useful, but in most of the games not.
The 370 is useless with 4gb. It's not powerful enough to push to the VRAM limit.
>>340382169
It will most likely not be able to push that 8gb because it's not powerful enough. 8GB is a meme.
>>340380412
>580, 680
their issue is that the new gen of consoles came out that finally allowed the developers to up the grafiks of the avg game
the next gen of consoles will arrive in 2020 or something so there's plenty of time for no progress
>290x XF
I'm going to be getting a new card this year simply because fuck dual gpus. I've had so many fucking issues with crossfire. Having dual gpu's is fucking pointless if the games are not optimized for it. So god damn frustrating.
GTX 980 Ti here, play at 1080p currently so it's acceptable for another year or two.
When and where will the next wave of 1080's be available for purchase for list price $599?
>>340375556
660ti owner here, the card struggles with a lot of newer games (because it's an old card). I'm thinking of picking up a 980 or 970 in a few weeks as the prices are starting to drop.
>>340382578
>acceptable for another year or two
As long as Nvidia doesn't try to cripple older cards again, I'd say you could go for almost 3 years. 980ti is such an overkill at 1080p.
>>340382578
>980ti
>only 1080
jesus anon I hope you DSR atleast.
>"release date: june 10th"

>>340382267
That's why it's just a bonus though.
>>340375327

And I don't even know when I will be able to upgrade. Actually I need to buy new motherboard, cpu, psu and gpu. Feels bad man.

Poeple say this every fucking time. Then those cards eventually become required to run games at 1080p 60fps very quickly.
>>340382913
980ti can't handle 4k at steady 60.

It's a sizable jump.

Damn man, are you a broke ass college student as well? I've been using a 570 for over 5 years now.
>>340380989
Stop meming. I've literally never had a problem with it. if there's ever any problem, it's the game's horrible optimization and everyone has the same problem no matter their card.

>>340383761
Confirmed for troll.
Still on a GTX 560Ti-448.
Was hoping Nvidia would come out with a 1060Ti but it doesn't seem like they're interested in coming out with a decent mid-range card.
I'm tempted to go for the R9 480 instead.

>>340383291
This. I'm amazed at how people do 0% research and just buy shit because it's new. 4790k is still king when it comes to gaming, and you can get one cheap when it goes on sale.
>>340380040
because it's fun to play on a 6 inch display
>>340384226
>still being retarded
The point is that he overpayed for a shittier i7 cpu when he could have payed less and got a better i7 cpu. Never was this ever about "i7 is the best for gaming, you have to get one no matter what".
Sure they're both 'overkill', that's not the fucking point.
Can I get 120+ fps on modern games like ds3 and witcher 3 with an rx 480?
>>340384572
>hey guys can this card that is not out yet do 'x'
Kill yourself.
H-h-here I go.
>>340375327
I have the meme card. I'm content considering I'm still using my 1680x1050 monitor.
there are absolutely no good games that require top of the line graphics cards. the witcher 3 was stretching my hardware, but honestly I could handle 50-60 fps is that, it didnt bother me enough to upgrade. no, honestly I didnt notice.
I'll probably get the RX480

Or just tone down the settings a little
not everything has to be maxed out unless you're autistic
So, while on topic, I have this loud as fuck Dynex 520W PSU I got years ago. Still going strong but I feel like I need an upgrade, preferably something more quiet. I also plan on getting the GTX 1070 when it comes out.
Also another question, would a Canadian store, lets say Best Buy or Canada Computers have the 1070 on release date? Or would I have to order online?
