It's happening
The GPU market is about to shit its pants.
All older cards are going to see HUGE price drops because of the 1070 and 14nm.
In 2 months when 1070s with aftermarket coolers are everywhere for $380 each every previous card from the 980ti/Fury X to 7xx/7xxx series are going to fall to insanely low prices. This will be a HYUGE jump in cheap electronics and components.
pic related is a shit deal btw, but let's say a prayer to all those 980ti owners that paid full price.

So if you buy two years old electronics they are cheaper than they were at launch?
Great thread.
>>341600996
>All older cards are going to see HUGE price drops
Yeah for a whopping 2 weeks until all of the stocks run empty, then have fun watching the prices jump up to a higher point then they were at retail because of third-party sellers. Do you seriously believe Nvidia/AMD keeps manufacturing older flagships when they would clearly cut into the sales of their current product line?
>>341601284
$250 cheaper
that is an insane price drop for a card that was $600 a week ago.
>>341601592
Flagships wont sell out. They have plenty of inventory. I literally saw a 7970 ghz edition on sale today at newegg. These cards will be around for years at a cheaper price point, not to mention the Fury, 390, 380, 370, 980, 970, 960.
These cards will be all over the place for years to come.
nvidia has jewed the fuck out of this launch. First the FE bullshit, then the deceptive MSRP (not a single 1080 costs 599, and there's no 1070 under 419, much less 370ish the msrp lists), now were seeing less performance for individuals buying the card than that which reviewers got.
its too bad amd went full spaghetti this time since it looks like nvidia is just straight up gonna get away with it.

Can already tell you're full of shit. Newegg has no 7970's listed, and they keep them listed even when they're just "out of stock". The highest end card they have right now is a 7870 and its going for $365.
>>341600996
Americunt site. So im taking it thats before tax?
Your countries prices are so misleading
>>341603456
It depends on the state for online sales.
>>341603456
there are like 2 states that charge taxes on internet orders, and those states are just wanna-be euro trash.
>>341603456
In America there's no sales tax on interstate sales. Newegg has stores in California, New Jersey, and Tennessee so you only have to pay sales tax when ordering from Newegg if you live in one of those states.
>>341603892
is this why america can't afford healthcare?
>>341603892
Aha thanks, clears that up.
So you could get it posted to a friend of you lived in a taxable area to avoid paying it
>>341603983
>m..muh healthcare
never change, euro cucks.
>>341603983
America can afford a signle payer healthcare system, it's just there are a lot of lobbying groups that represent the health insurance industry who have enough members of congress in their pocket to prevent something like that from ever making its way into law. Obamacare only succeeded because Obama and Democrats were able to gain the support of lobbyist groups.
Reminder to the children of /v/, don't fall for nvidia like you did the 970. It's now obsolete within 2 years.
The AMD's 470 will be $150 and be equal to 970. AMD's 480 will be $200 and with enough OC (20%), will be close to the performance of 1070/980ti.
Fall once for nvidia lies is fine since you're only children. Fall twice means you're a retarded child.
>>341603983
We don't have a federal sales tax anyways so it's only individual states that get shafted.
Also we could easily afford single payer healthcare, we just don't want it because it dilutes the quality of care the well-off receive just to accommodate the undeserving poor.
>>341604296
Bahahaha if you think that absolute shit. The 480 is close to the 390x. Its nowhere near a 980ti.
A 980 it might shadow but not the ti and theres a big jump between them
>>341603456
It's really not misleading. Can you not add 5% of a price to itself in your head?
won't happen here in the UK though since everything tech related needs to be expensive as fuck for some reason
>>341604296
Oh you pcucks and how you waste your money year after year...
>>341604296
>480
>close to the performance of 1070/980ti
Holy fucking shit are you delusional
>>341604496
30% difference in performance between the two.
That can be closed with bit of OC.
If you can get 95% of 980ti performance for 50% off, then why buy the twice as expensive card for only 5% increase in performance?
will trump make canada great again also?
>>341604626
how much do you pay to use the internet you already pay the internet company to use?
>>341604554
No just we dont have to do that you see. Thats why I was asking the question in the first place which anon >>341603892
kindly answered
>>341604701
they havent said anything about the oc capabilities of the 480 yet.
Also the 980ti is clockable, not worth it but it is
>bought my 7850 at launch
>still using it
give me some good advice, /v/. which card should I buy next? my limit is $180.
>>341600996
>lower priced faster new cards are causing old cards' prices to drop to liquidate stocks
>implying this doesn't happen every new graphics generation
Good thread, op. New to tech, are ya?
>>341604727
feels bad being a cucknadian
>>341603983
Sales tax is a regressive tax. A communist euro rat like you shouldn't like it anyway.
>>341603983
t. ungrateful Eurocuck
USA is basically your military,
>>341604912
BUY A Wii U , please I am begging you Nintendo needs help or they will die.
>>341604307
>undeserving poor.
There's that word again
>>341605501
>MUH EVERYBODY MUST BE WINNER
>>341600996
>mfw I paid the full price for a 980
>>341600996
all M$ games are win10 DX12 exclusive. If you want DX12, get the RX480
>>341604912
RX480 is $199. (60-70% difference)
RX470 will be $149 (40% difference)
45 fps + 40% = 63 fps
45 fps + 65% = 74 fps
>>341605091
>>341604727
ah please shut up
where I live the MSI GTX 980TI is 638 american dollar or 828 Canadian dollars but please remember that the average monthly income here is 600 euro.
>>341605608
>being guaranteed a basic healthcare puts Jamal and Shaniqua on the same level as the Kochs.
>>341605809
RX480 $199 thats for the 4gb , the 8gb has not been confirmed its merely people assuming it will be $250
>>341605947
They are already guaranteed that. Fucking Americans have socialised healthcare for decades, nobody notices cuz only illegal immigrants use it.
>>341605809
I'll go with the 480. seems worth spending the extra $20. thanks.
>>341606010
At the $199 price, there's not much to complain about 4GB card. Its roughly about 980/390X performance and you don't really need hyper setting textures for that. These cards will max out most games on 1080p screens.
>>341606560
The 980/390x performance is the 8gb not the 4gb version
4gb cards under 199$ is beyond cheap
my 1gb hd 7770 was 199 bucks three years ago and it runs Dark Souls 3 on high
my faith is on AMD
>>341606664
The ram will only matter at higher scales anyway.
So the performance would be fine for 1080.
why the fuck are all 1080's still sold out? I'm leaning towards the Asus ROG 1080
>>341603892
>Newegg has stores in California, New Jersey, and Tennessee so you only have to pay sales tax when ordering from Newegg if you live in one of those states
>tfw living in tennessee
that's why I mostly order shit off ebay and amazontfw even if you order from newegg's ebay page you still have to pay taxes
>>341607263
True. a good point.
>>341604598
I saw a founders 980ti in CEX the other day and it was over £500. What the actual fuck?
>>341600996
Stores might get rid of the old stock but that's about it.
>no 1070s in stock anywhere
I dont even want the FE but if its that bad when the aftermarkets come out It'll fucking suck
