>>342124492
Maybe 1080ti when it's announced. I'm good for now. Can play every game I care about.
>>
For my income to start next month. For a new hdd or sdd because my computer took a fucking shit. For prices to drop.

On unrelated note, I'm running a Intel i3 dual core cus I built the computer 5 years ago when I was in high school and thought cheap would be better. Should I upgrade the cpu before the gpu? My current gpu is a HD raedon 7770, so I'm basically irrelevant at this point.

970 is already shit tier. It can't run the new AAA games properly (AC Syndicate, Division, Witcher 3) at 1080p 60fps maxed out
By next year it'll be even worse.

Wait for a 1070 really, it should last longer through this gen.
>>
>>342126993
Depends on the pricing of the Xbox2, but considering the game STILL have to run on the original Xbox1/PS4, I wouldn't be so afraid. As someone who updates every ~4-5 years and I'm still running on a 560ti, this looks more than capable.

Then again I'm still capable of getting new games at 60fps at 1080p at medium settings, so I'd like to see how long I can push the card until it shits itself. Too bad that Nvidia decided to pull the plug on DX12 on Fermi, even though the whole DX12 got gutted in some aspects to suit the Fermi cards, which at the time were over 25% of the installbase. Good job Nvidia!

Just clock it more reasonably? You don't have to go 5ghz, 4 is plenty.

A 970 can max out witcher 3. The division and ac syndicate are hard for even my heavily oc 980 to run. You need at least an aftermarket oc 980 ti to get between 50-60 fps in those games when fully maxed out. The 970 is still a very good card for 1080 hence why amd are targeting that level of performance in their mainstream cards (470=970, 480= just under a 980)

AMD already said that the DVI parts are in the card, just that the reference model doesn't use them. But no one buys reference cards. Most of the 3rd party saphire/asus/xfx/whatever 480s will have DVI

http://videocardz.com/61193/amd-radeon-rx-480-rumors
>AMD Radeon RX 480 supports DVI

>Some people were worried that RX 480 may not support DVI. Well the good news is that AMD confirmed DVI support for Polaris 10. The DVI port was simply not installed on reference model, but proper connections are available on the circuit board. So it’s totally up to add-in-board partners to decide if they want to offer DVI-capable RX cards.

My GTX 460 nigga.

Back when I built this PC I was running 2 GTX 460s in SLI, but one of my cards broke so I've been stuck with just one. It's kinda time for an upgrade by now

I have the same card, the game ran in slowmotion during beta.

Weirdly enough I can play the new Unreal Tournament fine

I've been running nVidia for a while now, last ATi card was the HD 5850.

But honestly the way to go if you are buying a card in the next month or so is looking to be the rx 480. And on top of that CF'ing two of them gives equal or greater performance to the gtx 1080 for less price. Really a no brainer right now.

I'm still considering waiting for whatever the "490" will be and potentially CF those.

EVGA only makes NVIDIA cards. But the EVGA equivalent for AMD cards is Saphire. Best cooling, best warranty, best build quality. The 480 is set for release on June 29th so that's when we'll for sure know things. But I imagine that other companies will showcase their 480s sometime this week.

All signs seem to indicate that the RX 480 is about the same as a GTX 980, which is basically the perfect 1080p card. If you can find a 980 for under $250 bucks then yet that, if not just get the RX 480.

I was told that if you need more power you could just buy another RX480 and you'll be good to go for a while, and two of those would be cheaper than a single GTX 980.

new consoles only do existing graphics at higher resolutions. They will not lead to an increase in fidelity of games.

1070 is overkill for such low resolutions.

Pretty bad senpai, I've read that FX-8350s might bottleneck it so a 6300 definitely will. Might as well just go with a Zen since they're abandoning AM3 sockets.

>wont future games eventually need more power specially with all the new consoles?
Not really. The updated versions of the consoles won't change much. All of the games for these consoles are still going to be built from the ground up on the original PS4 and Xbox One, then ported upward to the refreshed version of the consoles. But that "porting up" process already exists, it's called the PC part.

The new consoles are actually a pain in the ass for devs because now they have to create the game for Xbox One/PS4, then port the game upward to Xbox Scorpion/PS4NEO, then port it up again for PC.
>>
>>342145478
You can't hotglue a 480 though.

Haven't upgraded since ~2011, but want a VR headset. Can't decide between 1070 and 480.

Don't really game outside of Rocket League/Overwatch, AAA games don't really interest me anymore.

>>342145057
It's not about upgrading for games anymore. It's about upgrading for performance to do VR/4K shit for games you don't particularly care for.

My entire system needs to be replaced, and by the time I have the money for that they'll be releasing a 1070 or 80 Ti.

>>342145330
I hope they'll perform similarly. And since the 480 will use like half of the amount of electricity as the 390x, it'd be the clear winner.

Star Citizen, I guess. Unless you want to max out everything and get atleast 60fps there's not really much reason to get one for any actual game.

I'm getting a 1080 but that's because I like building PCs. I'm going for an microATX with it and debating on if I'll sell it once it's done or just have it replace my current i5/780ti mid tower that's lasted a while.
