Go Gold or go home. It is the only part in a computer you will never ever have to replace because its outdated or something. You can skimp on the CPU if you're on a budget. Memory speeds don't matter that much either. Literally milliseconds you get in data transfer.
Same goes for SSDs.
But not for PSUs. The Bronze Silver Gold shit isnt just marketing.

Gold or go home.

Fuck off nigger. You don't need a gold cpu ever. Gold has got nothing to do with reliability. A seasonic psu won't be better or worse in terms of reliability than a bronze seasonic psu. Gold is just how efficient it is when pulling power from the wall. Any bronze 500w or above psu from xfx, seasonic or evga will be just fine unless you're running 3xsli combined with 2 cpus on a server motherboard or some crazy shit like that.

For the anon asking about cpu check out logical increments, they tell you which brands are models are the best.

Because monitors using Freesync use a custom version by AMD of the Adapatative sync functionality of DP 1.2a that can talk to the GPU, allowing you to enable Freesync in Windows. Nvidia GPUs wouldn't understand it.
The intereting thing however is that Nvidia could do their own version of that DP 1.2a module but instead keep using their proprietary chip that G-sync monitors need that costs $200 more, and yet you're still restricted to DP to use G-sync.

1080p games run fine on 1gb or 2gb cards like the 750ti or the gtx 960gb/r9 380 2gb. Vram is almost never the limiting factor. You'll run out of gpu power before you hit a vram bottleneck (not talking about unoptimized garbage). Hence why the 390 and 390x are the biggest rippofs this gen. You can get a perfectly good 290 or 290x for $150 cheaper and overclock it to 290/x performance levels because the 300 series is literally a rebranded and overclocked 200 series.

EVGA said their superclocked 1070 will go on sale June 10th, and then took that tweet down because that info is still under NDA. I'm going to guess that we'll see more OEM 1070's in stock and for sale faster than the 1080 because they had more time to build up stock and the 1070 uses more readily available memory.

Not him but no one was talking about it trading punches with the 1080 till amd mentioned it. Now it's full on damage control by retarded fanboys who believe anything their company tells them.

>>
>>340490647
>AMD CF'd 2 480s
No, they used the multi GPU support native to dx12, which is better than crossfire. Crossfire performance with two 480's will be a bit under what they showed.

Eh I go back and forth between AMD and nVidia every generation or so. Right now I'm still sporting my SLI 980's, which are working fine for me.

I'd say I've had an equal amount of problems from both companies, but lately I've found myself using AMD GPU's more so than nVidia. They have REALLY started getting their shit together over the last few years. I remember the plethora of bazaar driver issues I had with my 5850 and their frame pacing issues that were prevalent in their 7xxx series is pretty much a non-issue now.

Nope. Only really deluded people that watch adored tv will say otherwise. Most people with a brain will tell you it is destined to always be worse than a single gpu.

Or you can just turn some settings down to get 60fps+. A lot of settings are barely noticeable and cost a lot in performance. Like the pixel density is good enough at 4k that you might not even need anti aliasing.

this card is still in that awkward phase between 1080p and 4k. It would be a waste of money to upgrade unless you're already struggling running 1080p/60fps

it's obvious that 4k will be the next standard so why are we kidding ourselves by testing performance on games at 1200p or 1440p resolution??
>>
>>340491401
>but my current cards aren't doing 1080p60fps so why not just overbuy and be set for the next 5 years?

I've got a 380 so this will be a good upgrade for $230. I honestly don't see myself ever spending over $300 for a gpu.
>>
>>340492886
1440p is still an improvement over 1080p, and untill we get to 4k, which will still take some years, we'll inevitably go through being reliable at 1440p.
>>
>>340492886
i dont think the 480 is in an awkward place. it's the perfect card for 1080p 60fps at $200. it's not meant to be an upgrade, it's meant to get new gamers into top of the line 1080p graphics settings for cheap, without sacrificing any performance.

the gtx 1080 is the on in an awkward place. it's maybe a bit too powerful for 1440p but still not strong enough for 4k.

4k won't be the next standard for at least 5 years.

Kepler still gets driver optimizations for every new game release. The fact that it doesn't gain any performance in older games is due to the kepler cards already being at near 100% efficiency via driver updates when those older games came out. The only reason people talk about it is because amd have inferior driver optimizations compared to nvidia so when a game comes out, the nvidia card will be at near 100% efficiency compared to the amd card which will be running with a worse level of efficiency and amd slowly over time release driver updates to make their cards more efficient. There's a reason why dx12 makes amd gain much more performance compared to dx11. It's because in dx12 the amd cards are running at a much, much higher level of efficency than in dx11.

Not being a fanboy or anything. It's the truth. Amd doesn't have the budget to release drivers on the scale nvidia does.
>>
>>340493381
But games become more demanding over time. I'd say the 1080 will be a bit overkill for 1440p now, but in a few years it'll be just right for 1440p.
>>
>>340493007
but that's inferior to what I suggested. Flagship cards aren't supported very long, so unless you're playing at resolutions that require them, you're wasting money essentially. It makes more sense to spend the same amount of money but buy mid range cards more frequently.
>>
>>340493409

if an EVGA 1080 card can do 4k/60fps on doom, we are literally one generation before its the standard.

>>340493505
Most likely. People will enventually realize there's a middle ground between 1080p and 2160p. Just in time for GPUs to reliably maintain 60fps at that res.
OR, even thought I think it's less likely, the new standard will become 1080p120Hz.

we're pretty stagnant at the moment. ps4 and xbox one are really weak and will continue to be a bottleneck for the next 6 years until ps5 and xbox two.

the ps4 neo and xbox scorpion won't change much. every game is still going to be built from the ground up on the original ps4 and original xbox one. maybe in 3 years you won't be able to run NVIDIA's latest gimpy hair works or some other such gimmick but do we really consider poorly optimized tech experiments as important?

Yes, without any issue at all. See nvidia Laptops using "gsync". They don't actually use "gsync" but freesync instead.

The only reason you can't pair a desktop Nvidia GPU with a freesynch monitor is because Nvidia wants to keep cucking you.

They will not be Crossfire compatible. You can buy a cheap 390 or 390x when they drop in price for your 390 though. Even a 290/290x will work too, but idk what happens with the different memory capacities. Probably only 4GB will be available, so the extra 4GB of your 390 will be wasted.

Depends on what monitor you're running. I bought my 980's because the 980 Ti's weren't even out at the time and I'm pushing a 144hz @ 1440p monitor. One 980 really wasn't cutting it.

It's technically not Freesync since Freesync is AMD's version of adaptative sync, but you're right, laptops use the adaptative sync function built into the DisplayPort standard, but Nvidia still forces their users to pay hundreds of dosh for their Gsync chip.

Your picture doesn't show any evidence of "gimping", just driver improvements to the 290x. Benchmarks already show the older games the 780 ti used to beat the 290x in are still won by the 780 ti even today.

They do have drivers but they're not as efficient as nvidia drivers and this can't be denied. Amd generally has the better hardware specs on paper (eg the fury x having 9 TF of compute power and the 980 ti 6 TF) but the card always performs worse in actual real world tests. It takes amd a much longer amount of time to get their drivers to run at the efficiency nvidia does with theirs. The amd driver overhead meme is true.
