Im sorry why wait for the 480?? they will be nowhere near a 1080s.
The 480 is between the 390 & the 390x.

Because 2x 480s might be better than a 1080, and then more cost efficient.

Tell you what, you buy a 480 card as thats whats in your price range. $249 ish.
Then cry when the 390x is better
Also holy shit their E3 showing was hilarious. People were embarrassed for her when she showed off the 470 & 460...people were expecting the 490.

Already confirmed to be between 390x and 980.

For less than $300.

Guess I'll add up.
Thing being, any suggestions on what I should upgrade a gtx650ti to?
Additionally any recommendations also in regards to upgrading a i3-3220 processor? Prefferably without changing the socket, with that the whole motherboard due, unless it would be more reasonable to change it as well despite the low budget.
At last what should I focus on upgrading actually, if I were to go one by one.

You see how retarded this sounds? I feel like AMD owners are just completely detached from reality so they try to convince themselves that they're smart enough to wait 2 years to have a GPU strong enough to max out 1080p games 2-3 years after release. If you're some absolute poorfag who only could rush B in CSGO because AAA games would melt your pc then yes 480 is the card for you unless Nvidia will come out with something like 1060 (I doubt it though, for the last few years they gave little to no fucks about budget cards).
>>
If I have no plans to change from 1080p for a while, and currently have a 960 but want to upgrade, what do?
>>
>>341429208
It's literally "I can't wait a month" edition of an otherwise great card. Nothing wrong with that, majority of us will have to wait for prices to drop when sellers actually are stocked up.
>>
>>341429358
You don't. Just wait some more, you are fine for now.
>>
>>341429358
480 should be enough on paper, but better wait for real world benchmarks
>>
>>341429358
480 maybe 1060 gtx. As always - Wait for actual in game benchmarks, 390 was blowing away 970 in 3D Mark and Firestrike just it can fall short on its face cuz of no drivers meme and 970 leaping ahead when OCed. I kid you not AMDrones are so desperate that they leave comments under 970 vs 390 benchmark videos asking owners to make new benches just because AMD released some optimized drivers 9 months later.
>>
>>341429208

Do you not know what MSRP is?
>>
>>341429434
Which caused all the custom card to cost higher than normal.
So yeah, FE were made so that these markup up price looks sane.
>>
>>341429358
So should I wait a month before I purchase?
>>
>>341429874
More like 3 months. Sooner or later those card prices will drop to retailer suggested ones - Unless you're in EU, if you're in EU you might be fucked till Black Friday or Christmas.

No reason to actually. If you are not playing on maximum presets or at 144fps, the GTX 960 is should last you for a while.

>>341430143
Im sorry but the 960 is a pig. Its a pretty much defunct card in todays market. Shit Id even admit a load of the amd cards are better buys than one of these
>>
>>341423795
Gigabyte motherboards have always been at least a bit crap, i wouldn't trust them to make a video board that won't die right after it exits warranty to cheap shit capacitors or solder whiskering.

MSI and Asus are good overall. EVGA makes solid stuff and has great warranty coverage but I hear their stock coolers are a bit lousy this generation. Never buy XFX, their stuff has a bad defect rate and their customer service is notorious for not giving a shit.

It's the same for me in UK. I feel your pain. Has nothing to do with Nvidia though, people want those cards and even if you're willing to pay more than you should you will still have to wait for weeks before that card gets to you. Stores are ran by Jews.

manufacturers suggested retail price


it's just a classic use of misdirection by nvidia to

1. to make their cards look cheaper than they actually will be to create hype.

2. fool people into thinking there is any difference between the "founders edition" cards and the traditional reference card (there is none)

During the initial press release and even now people still seem to think the MSRP price is the retail price of the cards, which it is not.
>>
>>341430754
I doubt this is relevant to the topic of the thread, but if you must know every bulk electronics importer is owned by literal jews. And since all small retainers has to go through them, they can control market prices in the whole country for the first few weeks at least
>>
>>341423795
I can reccomend evga as a manufacturer.
Had 2 cards made by them in the past, both lived more than 5 years without problems.
Plus I've got a friend who had to sent his back because something stopped working. They sent him a stronger model back instead, because they didnt have the old junk anymore.
>>
>>341423795
My old one died and I need a new one

Should I just get gtx 970 or are there hot new spicy ones coming soon, that doesn't cost 1000€?
>>
Also is anyone else disappointed with the fact that we still don't have a single GPU that is enough to play games in 4k?
>>
>>341431051

Right -- you understand that NVIDIA doesn't make money off retail markup, right?
>>
>>341430737
>>341431092
>>
>>341431138
Wait for 480 and 1060, odds are both will be better than 970 gtx while costing less.

If everything else fails and 480 ends up having no drivers/1060 is a garbage as 960 you can wait till black friday and get a 970/390 for $150.
>>
>>341431160
And this has anything to do with nvidia shills constantly claiming that the retail prices are $379 and $599 how?

I think you may have completely missed the point of the image
>>
>>341431216
Shits given by me 0 . Do you research the sellers info everytime you buy something?
>>
>>341431309

1060 will not be better than the 970.
>>
>>341431363
Do you realize that retail markup applies to AMD cards as well as for nVidia? And for any other freshly released piece of hardware for that matter
>>
>>341431363
>And this has anything to do with nvidia shills constantly claiming that the retail prices are $379 and $599 how?
Things that never happened, except before the cards were actually released.
>>
>>341431363
Nice fallacy bro, especially since it comes from AyyMDrone - According to you guys waiting 2 years for 390 instead of buying 970 is a great deal, even though cards are equal and cost about the same. Majority of Nvidia owners will wait for prices to go back to normal.
>>
>>341431481
internet thinks different
The new GPU also seems to use a die size of about 200mm squared which could translate to 1280 CUDA cores in total. It would still be more powerful than the previous generation cards such as the GTX 970 or the GTX 960.
>>
>>341425843
there are gonna be lots of games that dont support crossfire on release...and with quite a few games not at all.
So then you just have a 250$ card that dos nothing.

August/September. They're coming out in July, some of them already did, but it will take few months for prices to drop. Don't know what to do. 4k gaming is still impossible even with a single 1080 gtx. 1070 gtx seems like the sweet spot for 1440p gaming but that's still a new monitor, cpu, mobo and gpu which will cost me at least $1000. Feels bad.

I'm not desperate to play in 4K but I would feel better to make that final jump and finally play glorious W3 or heavily modded Skyrim with ENB in 4K. 1080p to 1440p jump feels meh. Maybe I'll just upgrade but buy a future proof 4k monitor so I can just buy a 4K ready GPU once it comes out in few years from now on.

A 144hz monitor would be pretty nice, but for now I see no reason to go beyond 1080p 60fps. At least not until the prices go down.
Doesn't make sense to jump on the bandwagon and pay so much for technology that will be 25% the price in a few years.

Fury X/980ti/1070/1080 will do at least high settings 4k 60fps.
980/390x/480 will do at least medium settings 4k.
Not to mention the average PC gamer only plays CS:GO and DOTA, which run at 4k even on last gen midrange cards.

>>
>>341434037
They're fucking amazing though, I love mine. Even if you're getting 80-90fps in a game like in Witcher 3, it's still a noticeable improvement over 60fps. And I don't mean to sound elitist, but 60fps gives me headaches pretty quickly now. I could spend the whole fucking day in front of this monitor gaming and feel fine. fyi I have the asus vg248qe.
>>
>>341435257
You really don't need much for 1080p. 1070 will serve you well even for 1440p.

Czech here, can confirm.

a 1080 will bottle a i5-4460. I can 100% confirm as that was the problem I had. Literally replaced with an i7-4790k yesterday.

>>
>>341438081
Ah apologies. Well looking at toms hardware site they say a 6400 wont bottleneck with a 980ti so you should be fine with the 1080 not bottling.
My 4790k only used 47% on full settings on the witcher where previously the 4460 was 100%
>>
>>341423795
Tbh I wouldn't drop 600-700 bucks on this gpu unless you plan to play on 4k. And honestly this GPU doesnt run all current titles at 60fps on 4k so just buy a 1070 theres not much of a performance difference and its almost half the price. Wait to blow a large amount on the 1080ti most likely will have better 4k support

>>341441021
GTX 1080 is justifiable if you want to max out 1440p or to play at 30fps at 4k. Otherwise it's not really worth the effort. The guy's rig is only meant to power a 1080p setup, so I will keep saying this.
>>
>>341441021
>>341440220
They're not saying there isn't a difference, just that for 1440p the 1070 is enough and for 4K the 1080 is not enough. Ergo there is literally zero reasons for buying 2080.

Thats kind of a reasonable thing to ask.

Bit-Tech has a review.
Theirs OC's really subpar, but that's mostly down to the lottery.
On the other hand a 54° temperature delta under load seems rather bad.

Why are you listing your power supply? Literally the only thing that matters is your motherboard chipset.
Did you build a computer without understanding how computers work?

the 1080 costs 40% more than than 1070 and delivers 30% more performance.
So, if your wallet allows it, the gap between 1080 and 1070 is meaningful.

>>341448391
I'm personally waiting for some more reviews.
Don't think it's gonna be a bad card, but there's no hurry.
And if it actually has worse thermals than Asus or GB I'll go for one of them.

Most of the cards seem to plateau at ~2050 Mhz with some doing ~2150 or a bit less, which seems to be the limit for Pascal on air.
>>
>>341449470
Yes :^)
I actually have two 980ti's running though, picked a second one up after the 1080 dropped
Everything is so nice and pretty (not referring to OW)

It doesn't matter which manufacturer you go with.
They're all made in 3, maybe 4 factories in China.

Lower cards can play most games at 1080/60

>>341449905

It's shaping up to be pretty good value, but this is a stupid assumption.
It has virtually nothing to offer to people on a 970/390 and up.
And assuming >>341449740 this is the performance you can expect it's no longer sufficient for 1080p/60 at ultra either.

You elaborate. Anon asked if he needs to buy a new power supply or other parts if he wants to buy 1080. Why or how does mb chipset matter and power supply not?

I just don't understand how someone with so much money has the time to warrant spending that much on a hobby. I go to school full-time and get like 5 hours a week max to play video games, just can't see myself spending that much money for 4K vs 1080P.

Could buy a really nice guitar for that amount of money that actually will last you years, then spend far less in a year or two when the 11xx cards come out and enjoy 4K.

Price performance.

Because the Northbridge is what defines the type of port he has (you know, the thing you plug the card in).

I suggest you try not to skip school kid, especially your computer architecture classes.

And yes, the kind of port you have on your motherboard does matter a lot. There are 7 variants of PCI Express alone.

Well if he had a weaker powersupply he could damage his computer. Are you disabled? A 300wat psu shouldn't be used with a 1080.so yes I would argue it's an important component

Not really sure what you're asking. You're looking for a CPU/GPU with similar performance to the 560ti/2500k? Or a similar pricepoint to what it was when it was released?
For the latter, I'd just recommend the 6600k and an R9 380X. Though you might wanna wait for the Rx 480 which should be similarly priced but have much better performance.
