So the 1070 comes out on June 10th.
Are you getting it, /v/?
>>340510523
>Not even the 1070 in picture
Well, the thread is off to a great start. Great work, me.
Possibly.
>>340510523
>7.0
get ready for the wave of MEMES once again.
there's a NDA for the 1070 reviews, but fear not. You'll hear about this over and over again for an entire year.
>>340511153
What am I looking at here?
>>340511217
the 1070 can only use 6.8GB of it's memory 8gb memory
much like the 970 could only use 3.5gb of it's 4gb memory
>>340511305
A card fitting for my wife's son. I shall get it as soon as it comes out.
I'm getting the RX 480 instead.
It's just 200 dollars, and two of them together is faster than a 1080, and that's without optimisation.
>>340511420
get an 8gb version of the amd rx 480x instead lmao
200$ less
>>340511457
SLI is still shit.
>>340511610
1070 will throttle itself anyways because of the 6.8 meme
it's going to be another meme card
>>340511610
Not in this case. Each graphics card is only utilised at 51% capacity, and yet they still outperform the 1080.
Imagine the performance when they optimise for the games and the cards use 70% of capacity or something.
>>340511153
why you spreading misinformation AMD shill ?
>>340511678
A double-decker shit sandwich is still better than puke puree.
>>340511749
Optimization is nothing but a spook these days.
>>340511792
It looks legit. We'll know tomorrow. But this type of info plus the 1070 NDA is pretty telling.
>>340511485
That doesn't suit my lifestyle, though.
>>340510523
nah, my 970 is fine atm, I'll wait for the 1170 or something
Is this a midnight release for Australians?
I'll wait until actual, reputable humans have it and can reasonably compare it to AMD's new card, and judge my purchasing decision from there.

are you really this autistic ?
It has been debunked that those screens are fake as it can get and other sources report that 1070 uses full 8192 MB and no L2 cache issues
>>340512215
>I'll wait until actual, reputable humans have it and can reasonably compare it to [a card one tier below]
Why?
>>340512252
whatever man, i'm one of the youtubers they were dumb enough to send the 1070
ofc i'm going to use this to get more views lmao
a new era of memes, the 1070 being 6.8 is real
I already have a 1080.
Pic is of my old 970 too. The difference in size is crazy
1070 gtx is truly a GPUOTY. Easily good enough to play current games at maxed 1440p/60 fps. However I wanted to push for 4k and both 1070 and 1080 aren't enough for 4k/60 fps gaming. Not to mention I'd also have to upgrade CPU and MOBO so I feel like waiting till December/Black Friday sales.
will hold onto my 970 for a bit
>>340512252
Not autistic. Just not reading a fucking thing. Sorry famicom.
>>340510523
You shills still haven't told me who this is for? It cannot do 4k with even mediocre fps and 1440p has far cheaper alternatives. It literally has no use what so ever.
>>340512351
What the fuck are you talking about you fucking moron? Youtubers? How about professional tech review from Anandtech of the 1070.
Do you even know who made those screenshots ?
Literally fuck of from /v/ with this bullshit, you are so clueless shill its pathetic
>nvidiacucks
>>340512412
490 will be better and cheaper though
>>340512524
When newer games will come out, those cheaper alternatives will be too weak.
>>340512393
Are you doing anything to keep that beast from bending inside your case?
>>340512524
The best monitors are 1440p/144hz, so it's not even like it's the best solution for 1440, either. Shit's irrelevant.
if you only play at 1080p is it not worth it?
>>340510523
When it's down to 350 or less.
>>340512583
your analtech reviews wont matter
i'll pump and feed the 6.8 meme until it gets sour.
it's as real as it gets, just fyi.
cant wait to hear nvidias reason behind falsely marketing it as a 8gb card this time.
it almost resulted in class action lawsuit on the 970.
Their excuse last time was "miscomunication with the PR team"
>>340512651
Once it went in and I put a screw in, It seemed ok.
Bloody weighs so much though
>>340512616
non existend card tho
>>340512773
it will come out this year though, that's why 1070 can't be gpu of the year anon
>>340512616
and by then the 1080ti will be out too
>>340512773
There's nothing else this year worth upgrading for if you've already got 1080p60 handled. The smart people are gonna wait until the 490 and 1080ti are out and make a decision from there.
>>340512473
Same. I'm only going to upgrade my gpu once VR has become mainstream and there are plenty of options to choose from. From there, I'll pick the strongest card needed to run the strongest VR device. I'm going to guess that this will all happen in about3years.
>>340512680
Its not really even worth it on 1440p if you have cheaper alternatives that can do DX12.
>>340512832
1080Ti better be able to do 4k right and there better be decent 4k monitors around too or its dead in water.
So I'm finally going to replace my toaster soon /v/, as someone who knows nothing about building a pc, will the gtx1070 or rx480 give me more bang for my buck? Is it too early to tell yet? Any info is appreciated
>>340512745
>It seemed ok.
no way, I'd always be paranoid about a little bump on the desk or something.
i'm definitely getting a horizontal case next time
>>340513124
i dont care about amd or nvidia
i care about views
views = money
the 6.8 is real, and it'll make a great new meme from the amd shitposting crew
Fuck yes. Best price/perf card on the market at release. I'm sick of amd's shitty autodesk drivers so I can trash this 280x for a superior company and card with superior hardware support for software that matters.
>>340513280
well unless I gaffer taped it in there wasnt much else to do.
Its not shifted and I have checked on it once or twice so I wouldnt be too paranoid.
AMD won
>>340511457
You realize it's only faster with two cards in AOTS because that's using the multi gpu feature of dx12 right?
So many people believe this is crossfire performance but it isn't. Apparently, with dx12 you can mix any card. So if I were to mix my 1080 with my old 770, it would destroy 2x 480s again.
Either way, crossfire performance is going to be worse than this shit. This card also needs some proper benchmarks released first, it's not the first time AMD is hyping something up like this and it ends up being a massive failure, just like bulldozer or mantle.
>>340513340

dx12 is still a long way off. Kind of like arranging youre funeral on the day you are born
>>340512616
390x was also supposed to be better on paper than 970 gtx yet in reality it's 50/50 cuz of Nvidia dominating 82% of market. I'm realistic, I'm not gonna vote with my money just so maybe some day in the future AMD can take over the market and do same shady shit Nvidia does right now.
Threadly reminder that even amd owners don't like amd.
>>340513792

>>340513764
No mate, everybody is supporting DX12 and Vulcan.
>>340511457
That could say "1x Radeon RX 480" and it still wouldn't be enough to justify buying an AMD GPU these days.
Radeon peaked in 2002 with the R300 series.
You have to let go now.
It's OK.

>>340513693
Use tripfag so I can filter your existence from any board you underaged faggot
I can't decide if the looks of the reference 1070 are worth it or if I should just wait for an OEM version again. My card and motherboard are both Gigabyte, I'd figure swapping out for the same brand will be a little bit more reliable (or at least its just a placebo).
Wonder if Gigabyte's single 8-pin setup makes overclocking a dangerously tight affair?
>>340514002
Someone got their fee-fee's hurt :C
>>340513952
The Nvidia solution is actually costing you 900 dollars, because they also scam you into buying the gsync DRM chip for your monitor, which is an additional 200 dollars.
400 dollar AMD >>> 900 dollar Nvidia
will wait for the msi version
>>340513764
Vulkan and DX12 are getting patched into just about every major engine.
I held off on buying a 970 and for me the 480 is just gonna be that with more Vram and HEVC decoding.
>>340514068

Definitely not. There's absolutely no reason for not to wait for OEM versions.
>>340514365
Way less than that
>>340514130
>>340513902
DX12 being supported =/= being standard.
Majority of PC owners don't even have a GPU which can support DX12, not to mention the glorified W10 botnet. Do you honestly think they'll magically drop support for dx11? Even 1080 gtx is too shit to run games at 144fps/1440p so really those ultra end GPUs feel like overkill for 60/1080p but at the same time they're too weak for 144/1440p or 60/4k.
>>340514130
Are you stupid? You can't "patch" dx12 into a game and receive any dx12 benefits. Game engines have to be built from the ground up to fully support dx12 or you get the absolute worst shit fests like quantum break or gears ultimate which are all dx11 games with bolted on dx12 features.
Dx12 won't be the norm till 2018 at minimum and currently no gpu supports dx12 fully. By 2018 all gpus will be able to support everything dx12 has to offer with new gpu technologies like volta.
>>340514454
The consoles all have DX12-like APIs since a long time ago. It is the standard.

Because they will be forced to.
Nvidia will soon release drivers that will gimp their 9x0 series, and lower their performance.
That's the Premium Nvidia Experience®.

>>340514534
No. Just no. Stop posting if you're going to speak about things you clearly don't know much about. Adored tv isn't a reliable source.
Console api's are way more efficient than dx12 can ever dream to be. There is a single console configuration for develops to work with compared to millions of different pc configurations. Even though dx12 is more efficient than dx11, it's no where near console levels of efficency.
>>340514778
I seriously think that you are ONE guy shitposting in every GeForce thread.
>>340514092
You are right. G-sync and free sync are scam tier.
I just bought one of those 1440p 144hz monitors. 1440p is useless and running the monitor at 144hz is negligibly smoother. So i am of the opinion all monitors are scams if it says anything other than 1080p 1ms input lag.

Cuz knowing Nvidia they'll bribe every relevant Dev in existence to make sure a last gen Nvidia GPU gets better performance than newest and most expensive AMD card. Realistically speaking supporting AMD just isn't profitable, I'm not gonna sink my money just to support some principles.
>>340514968
Freesync is something every future monitor will adopt at no additional cost.
There are already 65 different kinds of Freesync monitors in the market now.

>b-but anon, it's directx12 compatible, you just be patient and see all that 500fps power I'm going to get once some games start running under dx12!
Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer buying something that actually works well now - not tommorow, not after a month or 10 fucking years, but
RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
Perhaps one day MAD poo in loos will stop dedicating every second in pursuit of their daydreams about "futureproofing" and start thinking about how NOT to run each of their mediocre products straight into the ground before it even hits the shelves.

holy fucking shit, do you actually believe this? have you been living under a rock? look at how the 780TI aged when the 900 series cards came out, they fell behind in performance because nvidia didn't give a shit about them anymore, you're a second class citizen to nvidia unless you have their most recent card.

>>340515123
Well of course. Freesync is cheap to implement when compared to g-sync in a monitor. And you need as many buzzwords in the title of your monitor to trick people into buying your average monitor. Basically a scam.

I want to get a 1080 this summer, depending how I stand with cash. Could go for a 1070 but fuck it. I have a 670 right now and it's a very fine card, but I wanna play Witcher 3 with everything maxed. And a 1080 would give me a reason to upgrade my monitor later this year too. Now just have to figure out if I want to go for 4K or 144Hz.
>>340515625
>Well of course. Freesync is cheap to implement when compared to g-sync in a monitor
That's because Freesync is the industry wide VESA standard.
Whereas gsyn is just a DRM chip which will disable the adaptive refresh rate for GPUs Nvidia doesn't like.

Yeah, feel like its time to upgrade. Also getting an i-7 6700k.
Might upgrade to the 1080 if the performance isn't good enough, I'll give the 1070 to my wife's son in that case.
>>340516146
i see you post that image in literally every GPU thread on /g/ and /v/, i know you have an nvida bias already.
>>340516072

6700k is a goos purchase if you do other things than game. I saw a near 50% incread from my 8350 8 core 4.0ghz nightmare.
>>340516552
For the same reason you like being poor. >>340516609
Nice meme. Personal experience shows that Nvidia cards run much cooler, my 980 has yet to reach 70 degrees and I haven't cleaned that shit in year.
Getting an rx 480 if the benchmarks are decent and then a 1080TI when it comes out
>>340516552
le cuck xDDD
>>340516205
Your 4790k would definitely be still fine to use, just OC it to 4.5ish
I am on a [email protected] and still think its fine for everything. My 290X though will not survive the next full year I think, trying to get more than 100FPS at 1080p so I can enjoy my 144hz monitor in more games.
>>340516676
Same here, even now during summer when it's 30c outside it hasn't reached more than 75c. Still feels hot in comparison to earlier when it never went over 60c.
>>340510523
Nah, I have a 390 now. going to wait as long as possible. I mostly play 4x stuff anwway, so I should be fine. Perfectly happy with it and a small OC.

I was under the impression that crossfire beats SLI.
>>340513557
>which nvidia cards support dx12

>>340516676
>Nice meme.
But Fermi was actually hotter than fucking 290x and yet you touch Nvidia cards nowadays but refuse to touch AMD after 290x with probably a shitty fan god forbid stock.
They even address the TDP problems with their new line. Heat was solved just by pushing better coolers on their cards.
>>340517008
Nvidia cards actually support a feature level higher than amd, but whatever.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_levels_in_Direct3D
>>340510523
I just built a new computer and I'm waiting for the 1070. Not getting the founder edition or whatever they're calling it though. Waiting for the third party cards since they're cheaper.
I had AMD last pc and it was alright but I fucking hate the mouse cursor bug shit so I'm gonna try nvidia this time.
>>340517262
And get no visible gains from DX12 in any game yet.

How bad are Founder's Edition cards?
My shitty prebuilt has finally bit the dust and I need a new PC ASAP.
>>340517389
>How bad are Founder's Edition cards?
Mega jewed and shitty coolers apparently
>>340517389
Not worth spending the extra money on for a high end card with a housefire tier cooler. You can probably pick up a cheap 980ti, or the cards in the 970/390/390x range to tide you over for a few months.
>>340517568
I have the money right now, it's the cooling I'm concerned about.
Definitely going to wait for non-reference cards. I'm a good goy who buys a GTX X70 every year and sell the old one for $150-250.
>>340517338
Because nvidia cards aren't anywhere near as inefficient as amd cards, so they have little to gain compared to amd cards.
>>340517632
FE guys have been whining about blower coolers for a while I think, check some Reddit or Nvidia forums.
>>340517632
Never get a fucking reference card m8
>>340517389
There is LITERALLY no reason to buy the FE edition. It's inferior in every conceivable way and it costs more because dumb retards are willing to pay $70-100 more to get the card on launch. Don't be a dumb goy and wait a week or two for reference cards.
>>340510523
No, I'm going for the 1080.
Shoul I go EVGA FTW, ASUS Strix or GB Extreme?
>>340517680
So what does DX12 exactly do to Nvidia cards besides nothing?
You can blame it on AMD or anything else but even if DX12 is just removing their inefficiencies they are still gaining a lot and beating Nvidia at it per price bracket.
>>340517879
Doesn't really matter. EVGA I guess, they have good costumer support.
>>340517961
They are also the cheapest here currently, by a pretty decent margin (~60+ €).
>>340512252
that pic is supposed to prove it uses 8GB?
LOL
that's just what it says on the card
in the actual testing it only uses 6.8GB which you can see here >>340511153

You do know that dx12 consists of more than just asynchronous compute, right? Async was even in dx11_3 so it's not even exclusively a dx12 feature.
Because there are no true neutral dx12 games (nvidia have their dx12 games they win in and amd have their own too), no one can predict what features other than async will benefit either company.
Also, dx11 is still the standard for a good few years yet and I'm not going to support Microsoft with its crazy windows store games just for dx12 if I get an amd card. Nvidia are the logical choice for dx11 currently and even if amd and nvidia go head to head at stock speeds, any overclock to the nvidia card puts it out of reach of the competing amd card and this can't be denied. Nvidia is cheaper here too, so buying nvidia for cheaper and overclocking it is a win-win situation.
Yes, I'm dead set on getting one. I also just ordered an Asus PG278Q display (1440p, 144hz, g sync) for $480 refurbished. I'm so fucking hyped.

Most reviews are already done on boost clocks with various overclocks and I am not seeing it. In fact the current trend regardless of DX12 or DX11 start putting 390 closer to 980 than 970 for example.

Not even once pahjeet.
When i upgrade to a better computer and the prices have dropped a little, then i'll do it.
I just hope my i5 4670K + meme-70 will last me a while tho. Component prices are just up the fucking roof here in Finland. And i play games really damn late desu, rarely do i shell out +60€ on release day to a game that might barely fucking work.

How noticeable are gains from better memory? Talking about like 16gb 1333 to 16gz 2400

No.
will this play nuDoom in 1080p 60fps ultra? or will a 970 cover that when it inevitably drops in price

How long till it fries and I need to get the 1070
I actually got a near new 970 for $100 less a few weeks ago thanks to all these new cards being announced. Am I retarded /g/? I had a five year old AMD before...
>>340520272
Doesn't Doom have some optimization where it changes resolution and textures and shit in real time to keep a steady FPS.
>>340520696
That's an option. But it's not turned on by default.
>>340520437
I said current trend. If it's DX12 it's pretty highly probable that 290x or 390 are within 1% of 980. There was also that Black Ops benchmark with similar results of 980 being either at the level or below 290x.
It's just gonna end up like with 7xx series. The worst part is that the new games are exactly where better performance starts mattering more unless you are already using 1440p or better.
>>340520623
> Am I retarded /g/?
pretty sure you are
>>340520786
>>340520548
you can upgrade when you want to start playing new releases at better settings than medium-high.
Where did all of these anally ravaged AMD drones come from all of a sudden?
530-600€ in Europe. That's entirely different price segment than the 970 was. People who can spend that much will get the 1080, and the ones who can't will simply not buy it. The latter are probably much more common.

so how bad is using the onboard graphics from an i5 6600k? wanna see if I can hold out till the rx 480 comes out.
>>340521485
its over 1k in aus land
>>340521242
>That's entirely different price segment than the 970 was.
It's rumored that there will be a 1060ti, so maybe the 1060ti will be in the tier the 970 was, and the regular 1060 will be in the same tier as the 960.
>>340521242
FE edition here costs more than my current entire new rig of 390 and i5 4690k
>>340521528
I'm actually doing that (but waiting for a 1070 and I have an i5 6500). You can play most games at last gen console settings, but at 1080p with better framrates.
>1920x1080 @ 60hz monitor
Why would I get a 1070 when the new AMD cards will (probably) deliver 60 fps at half the price?
>>340521528
>Integrated GPU
Unless you're playing games that are over 10 years old don't even bother.
>>340520535
>>Cheaper
get a fucking job you poorfag
no doubt you're also a retarded pirate
>>340521748
Why make the comparison when the 1070 and 480 aren't competing with each other? If a 1050 comes out, that is what will be competing with the 480.
>>340521768
>that are over 10 years old don't even bother.

On the shitty settings yes
>>340521950
source?
>>340522005
His ass, what else?
>>340522005
Theyre said to be between the 390 & 390x standard.
There is no source as the only thing AMD dared show was 2 cards attmepting to run that Ashes game nobody plays or gives a fuck about
>>340521865
He's making the comparison because he has to choose between either of those for the monitor he has.
>>340515172
8GB 480 is $229 confirmed by AMD
>>340521748
>1080p/60
It performed 34 frames in Ashes in DX12 single performance
so your dream about 1080p / 60 steady on ultra / high settings never going to happen in any halfway decent game
you pay for console status and thats what you will get
>>340510523
No.
I'm getting the 1080 Ti
>>340521486
>Ok just stop posting. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Nah fuck you.
>Go back to English class.
Literally correct.
>>340522179
No official confirmation. Its people guessing thatll be the price.

>>340522179
"expected to be" nothing has been officially confirmed by AMD on the 8gb price.
Hell they could charge $269 for them
>>340521587
Maybe, but it will also have lower performance.
I cant see there being a 1060ti. No point really with the 1070 being cheap
>>340522193
>on ultra / high settings never going to happen in any halfway decent game
Just turn off shadows and voila 60 fps
>>340520152
Depends on the game. Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 see some significant gains, other games barely any.
>>340524454
It doesnt quite work that way.
I love when people say their gpu can do 60fps on ultra.
Then they say yeah I just turn down this and this.
>>340524374
>No point really with the 1070 being cheap
But the 1070 is more expensive than the 970 at launch. Either Nvidia's lowest end card is going to go up in price, or they need to add another tier below the 1070 so that they're competing in all price brackets.
>>340524641
I never said that, and shadows don't matter anyway, I'd rather have them off or on very low, only exception would be if it's really fucking retarded like in that puzzle game from the makers of that shooter game
>>340524808
Sorry they will do a 1060 not a 1060ti. Thats what I meant
>>340524808
According to purchase logs and other manufacturing spreadsheets there's going to be a 1060 and 1060 ti. It's all speculation though.
>>340510523
I'm getting a non-reference gtx1080. Is there any reason to settle for less?
>>340525084
My monitor is only 800x600 so I don't have any reason to get 1080, probably ever
here in ausfailia, a 1080 is 1200, a 1070 is 800.
A 1070 in the us is 379.
So the answer is neither.
>>340524817
>shadows don't matter anyway
Righto then.
>>340525424
>tfw born in consumerist heaven, America
>>340524808
1060 will probably cost $220-250.
>>340525424
Yeah thing is though The average wage is way higher in Aus. I know you have import tax etc but it gets evened out so you cant pull that card.
>>340525526
Do you stare at the ground constantly in game?
>>340525684
......shadows are cast by everything and on everything.
How long has it been since you left the house?
>>340525684
Shadows are not just on the ground you know.
Ah you wouldnt as you havent got them turned on!
>>340525819
I stare at the ground in real life already I don't need to be doing that in video games also
Video games are to escape not the make it all worse
I'm interested but I'm going to wait for benchmarks of the 1070, 1080 and 480 like a sensible person.
>>340521748
Because you won't get 60 FPS, at least on new games.
You get what you pay for.
>>340525996

>>340526165

I only said shadows don't matter, they don't, texture quality does, model quality does, lighting does, reflections do, not shadows
>>340526226
>lighting matters
>shadows dont
Reminder that most benchmarks turn on stupid shit like 8xMSAA, which is redundant at 1440p and higher.
Anyways, I'm planning on grabbing a 1070 (evga likely, but I'll wait for reviews) to upgrade from my 960 and a new 1440p monitor to upgrade from my 1080p. I reckon I'll get a 144/120hz display to enjoy older games like TF2 and shit I replay yearly like FEAR at insane framerates, while I expect I'll be playing current titles at 1440/60
>>340510523
Already preordered the EVGA 1080 FTW card. Gotta have that 10+2 phase.
>>340526347
>Black and white = Full color spectrum
>We don't need more than 1 shade of each primary color
>Sun and lighting shouldn't affect the colors of things
Meanwhile shadows just make things darker, you don't even notice it, they are two completely different things and one is a lot more important than the other
>>340510523
Will only upgrade to a 1070 once I'm able to find an aftermarket one for 400€ tops
which means I'll propably have to wait some months
Thank god my 770 still manages to perform reasonably well in most games but I can't wait for my first witcher3 playthrough
