I'm just pissed they gave an advice price of $370, which when including taxes and exhange rates equals roughly €450, but it launched at €500 here.

You say $400 for a 70 series, that's around €370. This one is €500. It's absurdly expensive in Europe.

Oh please. If this lives up to the hype of being gtx 980 tier, it'll have 75% of the performance of a 1070. Which is still great for a budget card, but this is not in the same league as the 1070 in terms of raw performance. Stop comparing it to that because you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Wait for Vega to truly BTFO Nvidia :^)

I just hate how Nvidia keeps shifting around their tiers and the labels for them. Like the xxx ti will be replaced by the xxx + 110 instead a xxx + 100 ti. So the x60 card could be mid range or low end depending on if there's an x60ti in between the x60 and the x70 card and stuff. I wish they would just stick to one naming scheme and just add 100 to the card names across the board every generation.

But that's not true at all.
970 was replaced by 1070, 980 was replaced by 1080, 980Ti will be replaced by 1080Ti, Titan X will be replaced by ???. The same goes for 960 -> 1060 etc.
It's not a drawback that the new midrange core performs significantly better than the older high-end one.

As far as I know there aren't any SATA version of that drive.
Just get a 256/512 GB 850 Pro. Or if you want to save some MX200 or 850 Evo.

The difference between PCI-E M.2 and SATA SSD's is significant on paper, but you won't really find it any different in daily use, unless you shift around lots and lots of data all the time.

On the bright side Sanjib from their customer service is nice.

But they shifted the price brackets. The 1070 is $100 more than the 970 was at launch for a version with a decent cooler.
>>
>>342584561
The only thing that baffles me about you people is your lack of scepticism. How can you guys really spout this stuff, when there is nothing knows about the card other than promises. The way you hype up this card is going to make it seem like a complete disappointment, if it underperforms.

rx470 power is between 970 and 980 why wouldnt play it? it has 5.0 teroflops. Supposed PS4 Neo has 4.1 TF and plays 108060fps.

rx 480 is designed for 1440p and VR(980ti tier)

rx 470 ultra 1080p 60 fps (970 tier)
rx 460 1080p medium (950-960 tier)

>>342584774
>But they shifted the price brackets. The 1070 is $100 more than the 970 was at launch for a version with a decent cooler.
Yes, it also performs 50% better. I'm not saying that I'm happy about the price hike, but it could be expected - new process with lower yields, no competition from AMD in that performance bracket so far.
The 770 and 670 for example were also more expensive than the 970, around the 1070 price.

If you can still buy a 280x new, you'll probably get a new one. If it's company policy to send people refurbished units for RMAs, you'll probably get a 280x. If they have super awesome customer support, you'll probably get a 380x.

But GTA 5 recommended specs are for 1080p/medium.

>>342585304
If you plan on upgrading your monitor, the 1070. If not, the 1070 will be overkill, or it'll just be so future proof for 1080p that you'll never need another card until you upgrade your monitor.

The 1070 offers slightly better price/performance, and is generally a better fit for 1440p. I just upgraded to a 1440p 144hz g sync monitor (Dell S2716DG for $500 on sale) and a 1070, and it's a perfect combo imo. I average around 100-120 fps in most games, and can easily hit 144 fps by lowering some settings.
