What's the best GTX1070 out right now?
>>345074069
The superclock
Gainward Phoenix GLH. Good luck finding it in the US.
>>345074069
EVGA ACX version. I love mine. Temps never go over 72 at load for several hours
>>345078041
That's nothing to be proud of.
An FE with a fan curve can do that overclocked.
I suggest you fix your curve brah
EVGA will always be the best Nvidia brand
>>345078847
>PC gaming is so accessible that I've seen someone talk about fan curves and brah in the same breath
>whichever one this particular poster owns
>>345074069
Doesn't matter, these Pascal cards have almost no room for overclocking neither any practical reduction on temps.
It is funny that as time goes by Nvidia cards gets worse and worse on overclocking.
>>345079067
Setting a fan curve is easier than doing basic PC settings.
Not not my fault you're a retard.
>>345079143
Yeah, the Nvidia cards are coming out pretty maxed out from the factory. Most I've gotten is +200mhz, and it's not stable in all games. 165 passes all my tests tho
>>345079067
>there are people that play games on PC and don't know how to overclock or set a curve
>>345078041
>>345078983

>>345079423
Yeah, that unparalleled customer service and warranty really sucks, as does the great binned cards.
>>345079537
>>345080080
I'm legitimately curious about your opinion.
Do you have anything to say besides memes?
>>345080136
meme brands gets meme replies
>>345080574
Oh, I get it.
You've got buyers remorse from MSI or Asus.
No problem bro.
>>345080726
What's wrong with Asus? I have their 2GB 770, no complaints.
>>345080726
lmao i bet you buy corsair shit, too
>>345080865
They had fantastic quality during 6XX and 7XX.
But they've slipped quite a bit. Plus, they have mediocre customer service and incredibly slow RMAs.
>>345081028
Corsair makes bombs that resemble PSUs.
Supernova G2 son.
>>345081101
Ah I see, cheers. I was actually thinking of getting a 1070 soon, if Asus and MSI are shoddy what would you recommend?
>>345081224
EVGA
Just for the warranty. I'll be honest, I'm biased as fuck and value card warranty very highly.
But you can literally pull an EVGA card apart and keep the warranty intact.
I spilled coffee on my 970 because I'm an idiot and they replaced it.
>>345081474
lmao kill yourself
>>345081474
I now realize you were just defending the choice of EVGA for the 1070 just a minute ago and feel retarded for asking what brand you'd go with. Thanks again.
>>345074069
>good gtx 1070
>cheap
pick one
>>345081474
Another example. If you use EVGA overclocking software on your card, and you SOMEHOW blow it up, it's under warranty. Even if you were using aftermarket cooling, like a waterblock.
>>345081617
And you'll notice that this idiot doesn't actually have any points.
>>345081474
>EVGA
>970
>spilling coffee on a gpu
this explains everything
>>345081750
Turns out you shouldn't install a new card while multitasking. They still replaced my card in 4 days.
Just wondering.
What brand has treated you so well that you'll shit on others?
Make no mistake, I've had excellent experience with EVGA, so I recommend it. What do you recommend?
>>345074069
Palit
>>345074069
anybody got a Gigabyte G1? any good? it costs about the same as the founder's edition where I'm at
The MSI cards have pretty nice coolers.
>>345081895
how much exactly does EVGA pay you shills? genuine curiosity
>>345082145
Gigabyte tends to be better if you want to OC, but there are some reports here and there of the card literally exploding.
Still waiting for mine to go nuclear but no issues so far.
>>345082324
When a company treats me well, I recommend it to others.
Is this a new concept to you?
>>345082413
yeah of course nudge nudge wink wink but how "well" are they treating you? I mean, is it like a salary or are you paid per post or what
I have a 980ti, is it worth stepping up for 10 bucks and S&H?
>>345082369
>but there are some reports here and there of the card literally exploding.
well shit. I guess I'll risk it anyway, my other options are the FE which is the same price or the msi gaming X 8G Twin Frozr bla bla bla edition which is nearly one hundred USD more expensive here
>>345082538
Anon, I know that you're a cynical dipshit millennial who doesn't understand anything other than marketing.
But I really appreciate good customer service and reward it with more of my business.
>>345082584
For ten bucks? Won't lose anything and you'll avoid the lack of driver optimization in the coming months.
>>345074069
Are there already non reference cards?
Fucking AMD dropped the ball.
>>345082671
On the chance of sounding stupid, it's not like there's anything wrong with the 1070 FE. It overclocks like every other 8-pin aftermarket card and doesn't suffer from the thermal issues that the 1080 had with a stock curve.
>>345082673
>you'll avoid the lack of driver optimization in the coming months.
What are even some graphically impressive games that are coming out this year? I mean it will be an obvious bullshit if the games will look worse/same and optimized worse.
>Corsair makes bombs that resemble PSUs.
Wish I knew that before. I made the dumb mistake of cheaping out on my psu and got a 600cx. Though it's been running Fine on my rig for a year on my rig, I'm probably going to replace it once I get a spare hundred bucks.
>>345082724
at least AMD is shipping cards at a good pace, on Nvidia's side retailers are treating this generation like their cards are lined with gold dust.

>>345082986
The later CX600 are actually fine. The early ones explode tho.
>>345083019
True, the Sapphire Nitro is gonna be like 250
>>345083019
>>345081101
the corsair rm(x) series is better than the cx stuff right? I've got a rmx 650 sitting in my shopping cart now and it seems to be well reviewed but I'm really paranoid that i'm making a bad decision
>>345082986
>>345081101
>Corsair
Damn, I have CX750M, what are the chances it's gonna brick my parts when it goes up in flames?
>>345083148
RMx is fine.
>>345083196
You never know with a PSU. The M is alright though.
>>345082869
They sure seem to get shat on a lot here but yeah if it works it works
>>345083196
Last time my PSU died it melted motherboard connector.
>>345083196
It's a crapshoot.
I've had 3 PSU failures over the years. One wrecked every component, one only trashed the board and one did no damage at all.
>>345074069
You should always buy the card from the manufacturer that offers the best customer support.
Nowadays build-wise the quality of the cards across the various manufacturers is very similar, this is why they advertise how higher their clocks are and the fact they've got RGB leds to differentiate themselves.
So, you want to buy a card from a company that in case it breaks, will stand behind its product and help you get it replaced ASAP.
This is why you should go EVGA, if you can't get EVGA, buy MSI. While nowhere near as good as EVGA, MSI support is nowhere near as shit tier as the one from Gigabyte and Asus.
Speaking of those two companies, get their cards only if you are buying them from Amazon or another retailer that has amazon level customer support.
The only way gigabyte and asus will stand behind you if the card fails, is to fuck you up the ass not to help you.
>>345083148
RMx are great, CX are good too but people find it nice to pick a company to hate the moment it releases a budget product that is not as good as their top ones.
>>345074069
the msi one is red colored and has dragons painted on the fans so it's the best one. Just laying out the facts here
>>345083416
>I've had 3 PSU failures over the years.
Talk about bad luck. And it can happen to any PSU, huh. Never happened to me but then I never had a decent PC until recently so I wouldn't be that devastated if it happened before. Now, sitting on $2000 worth of parts, though...
>>345083196
You'll be fine, the chance is extremely low.
>>345082986
>tfw incredibly cheap rosewill psu that's been running for 3 years like a champ
>>345083715
Is 70 bucks too much of a price to pay against the chance of a total system lost?
A 600w T1 psu can be had for that amount, and is enough power for anyone running a single Nvidia card with overclocking.
>>345083938
Rosewill usually makes decent stuff.
>>345083947
CX are not time bombs.
They have all the classical security features you'd expect from a PSU in place and working. And the capacitors that come with them (Capxon IIRC) are rated to 105 degrees and won't lit up the moment you look at them.
Especially the new CX version (white/grey color scheme rather than green/white) is a DC/DC unit that will do very fine.
While CX should not be the first choice for a PSU, if you already have one there's no point in rushing out to buy a new one.
Corsair has also a program in place where they do refund pc parts lost as result of their PSU blowing up.
>>345084416
>Corsair has also a program in place where they do refund pc parts lost as result of their PSU blowing up.
Noice.

Enjoy getting cucked by nvidia once Vulkan starts taking over and finding out Pascal is literally shit tier architecture for optimization.
http://youtu.be/EyuoQIuEZj0
$200 GPU within 10% performance range of the $500 1070 LMAO
>>345087226
>Vulkan starts taking over
Like when Mantle started taking over, right?
Because devs love to optimize for cards that have <30% market share, for APIs that aren't very well supported on their biggest market (consoles)
And DX12 is not going to boost AMD like Vulkan does.
>>345087419
Yeah I remind AMD was boasting about the mantle performance and how their cards with mantle left nvidia ones in the dust.
A couple months after the release of mantle, nvidia released new drivers that boosted the performance of their cards to be on par with the AMD cards running mantle.
>>345087226
see
>>345085783
Do not engage shills in any sort of discussion. It only gives them opportunities to spread more lies and bump their threads
>>345087419
Vulkan is way different than Mantle. It's usable for every platform where as Mantle was really AMD only shit. AMD and Valve contributed to Vulkan, it's the next generation lad.
Also you're naive as fuck for thinking market share is an important factor, keep in mind AMD completely owns the console market, and Valve won't be sitting back not taking advantage of Vulkan with all the SteamOS shit, that's a guarantee.
>>345087965
>SteamOS
>relevant
kek
>>345087965
>AMD and Valve contributed to Vulkan, it's the next generation lad.
Explains why Nvidia cards mysteriously don't perform as well in Vulkan.
Also, you fundamentally misunderstand how console ports and market share work. You might have noticed all those AMD native console games are full of gameworks shit, right? Because Nvidia can muscle companies into optimizing for them on the PC market, BECAUSE of market share.
>>345082986
But that's what's been holding my rig together for 2 years I'm scared now ... BOOM
The card that is actually $380
>>345081101
I had an SLI setup with 2 asus 670's and the bottom card fried for no reason.
