It's the most powerful GPU on the market.

Think of it this way, would you pay $600 to get your hands on PS5 graphics? You're basically paying for future performance.

Why not just get the 1070 for $400 then?

>>342810586
I think Cross Fire through and through is a scam. At least with SLI, you could force one GPU to act as a gameworks/physX pusher if the game 1) does not support SLI and 2) is physx heavy. Arkham Knight is a perfect example.

Idk what the big deal is

My 750ti runs the new doom at 720p 60fps

Resolution in a single player game doesn't mean as near as much to me as framerate and most multiplayer games I play will run 1080p 60fps for when I need it to

Hell csgo runs at like 200 fps but maybe that's cheating

I should probably upgrade soon though for vr

Nvidia can charge this insane prices because AMD can't compete in the top range

only way i see of AMD coming back on top is if they develop the next gen cards first

their strategy for current gen seems to be making budget versions of Nvidia cards

company loyalty is stupid, i miss the days when they were both competitive, it drove the prices down, i want AMD to do better, but currently they're like the retarded child that's in school for special kids

AMD has nothing to do with this. Why are you deflecting?

I have not seen anyone claim the rx480 will be as powerful as the nvidia 1080.

Everyone is excited because it's an extremely affordable card that is reputed to deliver better than current gen capabilities while the 1080 is another super card that has more performance than we need for quadruple the price.

What are you saying? PC ran GTAV better than console on release. All AAA games of note released this generation were released simultaneously on console and PC, and PC ran them better through superior hardware. It is a fact that PC has better hardware than consoles because the term "PC" encompasses all consumer computers. Consumer PC components are usually one generation ahead of the equivalent console hardware. PC will always play games better than consoles as soon as they are available to PC. Do you mean to make a statement about when publishers release content on PC? Are you schizophrenic?

Unlikely as smoothly as you're putting it.

And the utter chore that is multi-GPU setups, something you can't put a price tag on. If you need more power than the 480 you should wait for Vega/wait for Pascal prices and stock to settle. Multi-GPU is only worthwhile in exceedingly rare scenarios (need more power than current flagship, or managed to snag an incredible deal on another of your current cards and can run it).

That needs to die. All these benchmarks mislead the fuck out of consumers. They see some dual gpu configuration putting out massive fps and the only place you are every going to get that performance is in a benchmark. Cd projekt red even said witcher 3 would support sli/Xfire and its still a fucking mess. The new Doom doesn't even support it. Sli/Xfire can fucking die.

Because marketing. Whoever has the best high end cards gets a lot of exposure that makes a lot of people assume that brand is better all around. Favorite YouTuber with an incredible gaming rig uses Nvidia? Better get a gtx 960 even if that's all I can afford, it's Nvidia so it must be better. MLG pros use Titan X's to get a bazillion fps in counterstrike? Nvidia must be better so I'll get a lower end Nvidia card I can afford. Etc etc.

Not a meme: multi-GPU set-ups are plain BAD. Although DX12 renderer allows for split frame rendering, even if it turns out to be successful will only work for a handful of DX12 titles.

Unless you play only one game which happens to have good multi-GPU support (say BF4) do not fall for the multi-GPU meme. t. someone who fell for it

I swear there's a lot of Arizonans on here. I remember a thread not that long ago for posting your internet speeds, and there was like three of us in that thread.

>>342824628
Split frame rendering performs far worse anyway so it's still a bad solution that will never take off or make multi-GPU good.
>>
>>342824481
I guess so

>>342824559
I did try there, it's a little slow but I got some advice

I was set on trading in my 980 for a 1080 and buying a 4K screen, playing in 2K for a while until I got another 1080 and trying stuff out SLI in 4K but now I'm questioning the wisdom of that

Playing video games at high image quality is only but a feature of the GPU. You can do so much more with it. That's why consoles cost less, since only option is playing games. So this card costing this much is totally fine

I have a 6 year old PC, and would love to get the 1070 or 1080 but at $199 its such a good price for a mid level vid card.
