If you bought the EVGA card, you can actually upgrade to a 1080.
my friend is looking to buy a new GPU
He doesnt have money for a 1070, so what the fuck should he buy?
390x?
>>341130946

>>341134951
I cried to amazon that my card was broken so I can basically return it whenever I want. Going to pre-order a 1070 once third-party cards are announced, then just return this for a refund.
Might go with EVGA.

>>341135349
EVGA is actually shit in terms of cooling. The Pascal cards are hot as fuck, so you need at least three fans. The MSI 1070 is okay, but I'd suggest Gigabyte.
>>341130946
Right, I just got a 390 like a couple weeks before. Can I run both?
>New hardware came out after I bought mine
no shit fucking tard
>>341130946
I mean, the 980 is still an amazing card.
You'll still run literally everything at max settings with zero problems. It's still massive overkill for a good 85% of the games on the market right now.
You're fine.

Gigabyte has always made really good coolers on Nvidia cards (the Maxwell cards had Gigabyte coolers and they were 60 under load).

>>341136678
ACX 970 is like 74 under load. It's not ice cold at all.
Man I really want a 1080 but that shit is just crazy expensive. 1070 is still good, right? R-right?Could I do 144 Hz with it?
>>341136090
If you have a usable GPU now waiting for the 490 will probably be a smart choice to be a better upgrade assuming you have $300+, if you don't the 480 will get you good enough performance sooner. Plus it's always a better value to upgrade mid tier cards more often than to keep a top tier one longer.
So I currently have a GTX970 on a 1080p 60hz monitor.
Should I upgrade my monitor first (probably looking for 1440p @ 60hz or above, 144hz 1440p monitors are still pretty up there in price) or get a 1070 now and a monitor later?
I want to replace my now very old x4 955 and these fuckers keep teasing Zen with no actual release date
>>341137024
I think its been 5+ years and my 7870 is still pumping strong.
I think its the fact that I don't want to wait another year for a 490, then another year for a 490X.
I dunno man, my 7870 can still run games on Medium/High. But I miss the feeling of not having to worry about settings and FPS drops.
>>341130946
>I bought a cheap 960

Awhhh yee
Got a 390X for $300 at an inventory clearance. Shop around, anons. Last gen cards are depreciating fast.
>>341137651
>But I miss the feeling of not having to worry about settings and FPS drops.
I feel you. I have a GTX 670 and I can run games fine, but boy do I miss that feeling when I had just built my desktop. I think I'm gonna treat myself and upgrade this summer.
>>341137283
1070 now, monitor later
theres no point in getting a 4k monitor if you cant play vidya on it

>>341137651
Unless you have/are planning on upgrading to a demanding display(beyond a 1440p60) you'll most likely be fine with a 480. Unless it benches wildly below expectations that is, but I doubt AMD would be swinging it's dick about the value if that was the case.
>>341136827
then you fuckin dumb or something my 980 evga under full load barely gets past 65c @40% fan speed
>>341139084
Then don't?
I knew the 1070 was coming and I still bought a 980 two weeks ago because I didn't feel like waiting. I know it was retarded, but I don't care anymore.
apart from cdpr games theres nothing to use 300euro+ gpus for
I'm so hyped for my RX 480
Shit outperforms the 980Ti when overclocked, it's a beast at half the price of the 1070

>>341141913
You guys get paid more on average though so it balances out
>>341142156
That's for the 4GB, 8GB is $229.99.
Some models with more expensive coolers/better OC capabilities will exist too.
Still at stock it outperforms a GTX 980, it's a great value and plenty powerful.

Are you seriously that retarded?

If you're at least 2 CPU generations behind, get Skylake.
New mobo and CPU
Sell old on ebay.
>>341142746
390 in crossfire would also need some 1k w psu.
These are my specs. Would a 480 be worth it, or even compatible?

So I imagine they had one for the 1080.
>>341142986
Someone answer porfavor.
>>341143747
Yeah but you should probably get an i5 or something
>>341143104
my monitor is capped at 60hz unfortunately
>>341142986
I built this rig to be able to play games at a reasonable setting just to get over summer until i got back to work so i could upgrade it.
so i can't get a new motherboard now

>>341143986

I don't think i can buy anything new like the 1080 without bottlenecking it.
I built this rig around 1080p
>>341143017
fuck you jhonny i know this R390 was ment for you but if you want it so much come get it.
You live 2 roads down you fat fuck
>>341134901
against the 480 which is a die shrink, that r9 380 is inferior
>>341144834
I mean, its not like you arn't going to be able to play games. 390+i5 should run just about anything at a decent framerate, even better if you turn down a few settings like hairworks or whatever.
>>341137024
>If you have a usable GPU now waiting for the 490 will probably be a smart choice
We have literally no information from AMD about when such a card may come out. Absolutely fucking nothing. All they said was that they'll have cards with HBM2 in 2017.
>>341144750
Why, what's wrong with the i3?
>>341130946
>buying a GPU every year
never do that
at the very least every 3 years is perfectly fine
if you own a 770ti then consider upgrading
a 970/80 wait one more generation
you're throwing money away if you purchase a new GPU every single year , ignore the stupid marketing terms and realize developers don't develop with the GPU in mind but with optimization first unless you work in EA where they truly don't care. Where I work at we always focus on optimization first and it really is the biggest challenge any developer working on PC will have to deal with but past that the road is smooth.

>being this retarded and not keeping up to date
you fucking deserved it you retard
Honestly, you should buy a GPU depending on what framerate and resolution you are going to play at.
GTX 980 will be fine for most 1080 and 1440p games at 60 FPS, but if you have a 144Hz monitor then it would not reach its full potential.
I'd return it and get a GTX 1070, if you can.
These are my specs. This was my first build, made in 2014. Can my comp handle a 1070?
Should I upgrade my cpu as well? I am afraid of bottlenecking
>>341147862
forgot pic
lol op, you could have gotten a 480x for way cheaper
Should I go with 480 x2 or would my CPU bottleneck it too much?
Or should I do a mild upgrade for my CPU then get a 480? Ideally I want an i5 but I dont wanna dump mobo money.
>>341139084
Be is shit. Confirmed for never used one
>>341141515
Seems a bit ridiculous.
If it has that much OC headroom AMD would have just upped the stock clock.
Stock clocks are chosen to be the maximum safe and reproducible clock a card can manage without having to bin too many chips that underperform, it would be bad business to run a value card that far under its full potential if it really can do that
There's a reason nearly every card since forever can only overclock ~10-15% on a good day with few exceptions.
>>341147862
I think your PC would be fine for a 1070. Might want to get a SSD for some of the newer shit though.
>>341148439
Never crossfire.
Always get the fastest single card you're willing to pay for.
Dual gpu support is too much of a mess to jump into unless you're a super rich fag who cant be satisfied with the fastest card available.
What should I upgrade first
CPU, motherboard, and RAM
or my monitor
>>341147862
Bottlenecking is not as scary as it sounds.
You can probably bottleneck your current card by setting the ingame resolution of most games to 800x600.
When the gpu is less stressed and the framerates get high enough the CPU becomes the limiting factor, the thing is at the kind of framerates this happens at no one really cares, you'd need to be getting like 120 fps or something for your cpu to be a limiting factor.

It -is- a "leak"
Videocard leaks can be pretty reliable but not as reliable as iphone or console leaks
>>341137283
144hz monitor if you play a lot of old games
1070 if you want to play the newest games at maximum
The problem with a 144hz monitor is newer games don't often run higher than 90 fps even with multiple GPUs. It's just a shame, because I don't think there are 100hz g-sync monitors. Good old CRT times where +100hz was the standard.
>>341153501
Yes
I'm looking forward to the 1010.
I want to add hdmi 2.0 to my HTPC but AMD's low end cards are rebranded 5000 series cards and the 720 and 710 are kepler.

That OC benchmark seem really bullshit. The one that puts it around Fury level at 1266 Mhz seems legit though.
>>341145136
Incorrect, Vega is pushed to October.. thought everyone knew this
>>341137283
1440p 144hz monitor would be my choice. 970 is still good for another couple months, 1070/80 will come down alot in price soon once the stock levels increase and 480 is launched.
>>341141515
The OC score is fake, has been confirmed fake hours ago.
However, the 3200~ score is correct and that is running at 1080mhz (downclocked). The reference version will run at 1266mhz and is inbetween the Nano and Fury.
So much for all the idiots saying the 1070 is 50% faster, I knew the 1070 would only be 20%~ faster for double the price since it has nvidia tax on it.
>>341142986
2 seconds of thinking would tell you that sli/crossfire is shit, doesn't work in the majority of games. causes more problems then its worth.
>>341142746
390 is a good card, so if you are on 1080p I would keep one and sell one to buy other shit.
>>341162869
The company that releases first always does that.
The 5000 and 7000 series were super expensive on release until nvidia came out with something competitive too.
>>341144396
The OC scores have been confirmed fake by pretty much everywhere.
Go check the original source on that website, even the OP said it was fake lel
>>341144261

If you weren't smart enough to do some basic fucking research to find out about the 1080 and 1070 -- cards that everyone knew would be coming out this summer for 6 months -- then you're a fucking idiot. You should just stick to console. They're made for people like you.
>still using a gtx 660
I honestly don't see a reason to upgrade yet
>>341147862

>>341166425
>reading comprehension level -2/10
>>341163952
Yeah but even after all the cards are out the equivalent nvidia card has always been $50-100 more than the AMD, sometimes even more
and they dont even last as long as the AMD cards due to less vram and crap dx12 performance. Wouldn't suprise me if the 480 is the same performance as the 1070 in dx12 games.
>>341165253
>cards that everyone knew would be coming out this summer for 6 months
Incorrect, no one knew Pascal was going to be released so early. We only knew 1 month before the 1080 launched, before that there was no information at all.
Most sites were saying Polaris was going to launch first, but it looks like Nvidia rushed to beat AMD out of the gate.

>Not waiting for the 1180 series
>Not waiting for the 1180 Ti/Titan
etc
>>341168103

yeah, we totally had no idea nvidia would release a new gpu, i mean, they are known for making so many other products amirite?
>>341138116
>480 will be just as fast for $100 cheaper and consume far less energy
U dun fucked up
>>341168103
Every one of those sites said Pascal would be releasing this summer. Every post on /v/ about release dates said Pascal would be releasing this summer.
It might not have been officially announced until a month ago (which of OP built his computer a week ago should have known about anyway), but it's been known about for ages
>>341168103
>Incorrect, no one knew Pascal was going to be released so early
What? they released late, everyone thought it was going to be Q1 2016 in march like nvidia usually does
>>341156287
>>341141515
This is fake, those scores are for the Titan X with 480 OC shooped over it
>>341168675
Odds are usually rebrands.
7000, 9000, 500 and 700 series. 900 series was the only one to change this pattern, but even then they skipped 800 which would have been the new architecture so 900 still made sense.
Upgrading now will be about as safe ad getting the 8800gtx, 480 or 680 at release, maybe more since die shrinks are getting harder and further apart.
