Since the rx 480 was a poo card, should I bite the bullet or get this gtx 1070? or is evga ever going to fucking stock their cards
>>343884017
MSI is a good brand and they use military grade metals like EVGA so go for it.
>>343886298
>This entire post
Everyone realizes the motherboard killing part of the 480 only happens if your motherboard is a price of shit with an awful power phase section right?
>>343886298
>military grade metals
>>343886694
It's still a shit card even if it doesn't kill your computer though.
>poo card
legitimate laugh out lol
>>343886694
and 3rd party cards will have 8pin power connectors which completely rectify the issue...
i'm still amazed that people are surprized a reference design card is shit.
It's like everyone forgot about the nVidia 8800GT reference cooler blunder
>>343884017
its alright. the cooler is a bit cheap but the card only draws around 140w... so it will be good.
>>343886768
How is it shit m8, it's the sweet spot 200 buckaroo card that has solid performance.
>>343886882
oh wow its almost like it was 10 years ago, who the fuck cares
>>343886882
That happened a decade ago.
OP here I ended up getting it for $348 but that fan is bothering me, how were the temps on the founder's edition? pretty sure it uses the same cooler as FE. Also that shit sold out fast, I refreshed the page and there was already scalpers selling it for $500
>>343887059
>how were the temps on the founder's edition
fine, 60-70 under load
why does it matter? legit interested
Gigabyte 950 OC +FX6300 worth it of i'm satisfied with 60fps@medium settings?
>>343887225
because of nvidia fire memes, honestly it's mainly just about wondering if waiting for the other cards with different cooler to be stocked is worth it. I don't really plan on overclocking anyway so I think i'll be fine
>>343887059
>I ended up getting it for $348
tell us your secrets
>>343887319
Probably not. Save your money for a bigger upgrade next year.
The problem is apparently to do with the Wattman software, amd should be putting a fix out today.
>>343886882
8pins have the same number of 12v connections as the 6 pin cables. From what i understand Last two pins just tell your PSU it can send more than 75 watts over.
Also that one picture of somebody's 24 pin connector being burnt is all melted ON THE 3.3V PIN, not the 12v,The pic of the burnt PCIe slot does seem at least somewhat legitimate
AMD apparently also set the default voltage way too high and people are able to drop the voltage while keeping stock clockspeeds.
I dont mean to shill for amd, im just interested in their shit after my 760 not aging very well
Still gonna wait for an aib 4GB 480.
>>343887396
Fall for the Amazon credit card meme and get $10 pity money from amazon because they fucked up your preorder of a game you ordered a year ago.I'm actually ok with getting the card because I buy almost all my shit from amazon anyway
>>343887059
>>343887360
the FE is a fine cooler. Yes the gpu tends to run at around 80c under load, but that is intended. The default fan curve is optimized for silence.
If you adjust it using msi afterburner or something of that sort, you can push that 80c down to under 60c even if you want at the expense of some extra noise.
Is it worth it? Well, it does improve the boost clock, so you get some performance. But the card doesnt really give a shit if it runs at 80c or 60c.
Bottomline is: blower style (FE) coolers are fine, and you can tweak settings to make it fit your needs.
>>343887059
>>343887360
Nvidia reference cards have been fine for years.
You literally just got a Titan X for $348, the card is
decently quiet and has decent power draw, c'mon
140w whilst slapping the shit out of the RX 480
>>343887623
>>343887702
Ah ok sounds good then I'll keep it
>>343884017
Why would you ever consider an RX 480 if you can afford a 1070?
My friend is offering his R9 390x to me for 150 dollerydoos since he got a 1080, is it better than the RX 480?
Figured this would be the best place to ask this.
Is the 1080ti worth waiting for? Or just bite on the 1070
>>343887901
yes, if power consumption doesnt bother you
Wait for the RX 480 Aftermarket coolers or buy now?
>>343887940
The 1080ti wont be out till 2017
>>343887897
because it was supposed to be the 1080p sweet spot, but I might get a 1440p monitor anyway so might as well get the 1070
>>343888010
Never go for reference designs.
>>343888010
Does nvidia have their own tan?
>>343887940
There's going to be a huge difference between 1070 and 1080ti both in terms of price and performance.
unless you are playing at super high refresh rate and 1440p+ i'd just get the 1070.
>>343886298
>Tfw got that military grade mobo
>feels good knowing it's built to a higher spec that standard hardware
>>343888010
never buy a reference card
>>343887940
nah wait for the 1290ti
>>343887501
>Also that one picture of somebody's 24 pin connector being burnt is all melted ON THE 3.3V PIN, not the 12v
Actually, the one that burned is indeed a pair of 12v connector.
The chart that floats around needs to be mirrored since its from solder point of view.
It is however, still the user fault for overloading the 12v power by connecting 3 RX 480 without any additional power supply.
>>343888058
>>343888126
Are they really that bad?
Should I wait for the Sapphire RX 480 Nitro? It's coming out on the 22nd.
>>343888106
Yeah. I have a 1440/144 monitor im looking to take advantage of.
>A $240 card doesn't perform as good as a $400 card
>what a disappointment
>>343888251
May as well wait for the 4760tiX if we're really trying to outsmart the consumers
>buy 4gb rx480
>it actually has 8gb
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/early-batches-of-radeon-rx-480-4gb-cards-actually-do-have-8gb-memory.html
>>343888297
SApphire is always really good.
Wait for it.
But powercolor is also really good and much cheaper.
>>343886298
Shill detected.
MSI uses the cheapest components they can find, and dont give a shit about quality.
They just slap "gaming" onto this crap and sell it.
>>343887901
you made my dick hard
>>343887901
Performs about the same as the 480.
Pretty good deal.
>>343888124
>have MSI board
>realize the VRM are a time bomb
>>343888612
It's military grade bro.
Stop being buttmad that my pc will keep working through a nuclear holocaust, whilst your toaster can't even run rocket league at 30 fps.
>>343888297
Yes. Sapphire makes some very good cards and I'll be grabbing it as well.
That 480 is ugly as hell though.
>>343889156
Are you not feeling the cheese grater aesthetics?
>>343889335
that was not the image I wanted to post in this thread. Fuck. I wanted to post a cheese grater.
>>343888612
>MSI uses the cheapest components they can find, and dont give a shit about quality.
you spelled asus wrong
How much would I even be able to get for a 2 year old gtx 770? like a hundred bucks if anyone even wants it on amazon?
>>343889452
>>343888612
Are there any companies that give a fuck about the quality of their components?
>>343889493
About 60-70 USD for the 2GB variant.
4GB variant can vary, but is over 110 USD from what I've seen.
>>343889708
>About 60-70 USD for the 2GB variant.
damn, its not like its a sought after item either. I don't even have anyone that I could give it away to since my friends use consoles
>>343889563
sapphire, msi, powercolor, gigabyte do give a fuck
asus, xfx don't
>>343888612
MSI has lowest RMA rate out of all GPU manufacturers and gigabyte the lowest of mobo's.
>>343886694
People who buy the 480s will have shit mobos as the cards are designed for poor fagoots.
>>343886908
>draws 140w
>reviews show it at drawing 160w and on the witcher 3 198 watts
>>343886694
>needing a mobo that's more expensive than the rx480 to use it
ok shill
will wait for 1060ti
>>343888612
>MSI uses the cheapest components they can find,
That sounds like military grade to me famalam
>>343889424
I was thinking showerhead
>>343886298
>civs thinking military grade is any good
>>343886694
budget people who the card is aimed at won't be buying a good enough motherboard
Gpu thread, but fuck it
I have an old i3-4160, want to upgrade, should I just get some kind of i7 on the same socket or replace the mainboard and get a skylake i5? Pretty similar cost
>>343886298
msi customer support literally doesn't know what they are doing, wouldn't be surprised if all their corporate guidebooks were in Chinese or something
>>343891293
If you do work stuff on your PC like rendering then get the i7, for pure gaming an i5 will more than do.
Which manufacturer for the 1070?
>>343884017
Or you could wait for 1060 or the better after-market versions of 1070 that come in a few months. Unless you absolutely need one right now.
>>343886298
>military grade
There's that word again.
>>343888432
>early batches
