Give one (1) good reason you aren't waiting for Polaris/Vega?
>>54501214
Because Polaris is going to be a disappointment and vega is too far away.
Also I'm not poor.
>>54501214
There haven't been reason to upgrade your GPU since like, 2012.
Because I don't care. I've got my 7950 and it still capable of doing what I want it to.
Zen interests me far more.

>>54501300

>>54501300
Nvidia "enthusiasts"
Why are you waiting for poolaris when you can buy a 390 and get the same performance now?
>>54501338
I want my room to be cooler during summer.
I am waiting for Polaris.
>>54501303
>>54501311
Well I'm one of those Nvidia ''enthusiasts'' and I still haven't pre-ordered shit. You've got to be retarded to pre order ANYTHING before it's released.
Because i don't need anything higher than a 950 to max cs:go
hell even a 750ti would suffice
>>54501214
Because I have 2x 7950's not even overclocked and butter smooth.
>>54501362
Clearly you aren't one. You have to preorder all of your nvidia gear and any new GPUs if you wish to be one.
You're just an outsider at this point.
I am.
>>54501214
because all rumors are making polaris 10 a low/midrange card and vega (the 1070 and 1080 competitor) isn't out for at least another year according to the amd roadmap.
>>54501263
>meming
But i do.
>>54501429
And why you aren't waiting? Don't tell me you gonna buy Nvidia trash?
>>54501214
I have Hawaii already and that's sufficient for everything currently out there. R9 290 @ 1080 MHz.
>>54501446
Not the guy you're responding too, but it's very unlikely that AMD is actually going to catch up to Intel in terms of performance. Intel is already on 14nm and will be on 10nm in q1 2017.
>>54501300

Yeah I'm buying a 1070. Why you mad? Don't tell me you're so much of a child to be triggered by things like this.
>>54501214
I've never waited for an AMD GPU before, and I'm not about to start now.
>>54501529
i won't get 5280K performance anyway.
i'm looking for a cheaper chip which equals to a Intel Xeon 1231V3 for my wildest mitx dreams
>>54501538
i think you inserted your gpu the wrong way
>>54501582
That chip's like 200 bucks, bro.
>>54501566
You seem upset. 1070 is not even high end.
>>54501618
it is compared to AMD
>>54501617
in germany it's 250€ new. you can get a used though for 190€ though already but it doesn't matter. i just want equal performance for muh vr gayms at a cheaper price point.
>>54501379

There, you got two.

Awwww poor you :'(
>>54501566
>I'm buying a 1070
I hope this comes with the caveat of
>IF it's less than $400 after OEM coolers
>IF it benchmarks at or above marketing materials
>IF it has a larger performance gain in dx12 and vulkan over maxwell than dx11, proving that support for the low level api has increased
>IF it isn't rivaled by Polaris 10 or outshined by Vega, possibly coming in only 4 months, 3 months after the launch of the 1070
I seriously hope you're thinking through all of that because I am too and if it's all true I'll be team nvidia as well
>>54501214
Because my gpu does what I need and, I don't pay the power bill, and it runs with acceptable temperatures (Gigabyte G1 GTX 980)
>>54501663
If the chip has the performance you want, waiting months to save $60 is kind of retarded. I work minimum wage and $60 isn't that big of a deal for me.
>>54501699
kek i already recognize you. Same enraged faggot every thread.
>>54501699
Take your pills, pal.
>>54501725
my idea is more about supporting amd in sales. i want my full amd rig back. maybe even a capable APU if dualgraphics become a thing in future dx12 AAA games.
this draws less performance in desktop mode and increases performance when gaming due to rendering offload and the increase drawcalls go well in hand for it.

Do you AMDrones really believe the performance improvement is going to be 15%? kek.
We are going from 28nm to 14nm, having a card run at 2.1GHZ live of stage and we are already talking about about 6.5 TFLOPS, which is almost as much as a titan X (talking about the 1070, the 1080 has 9)
You've either got to be completely tech-retarded or deluded to not understand what performance improvement we are about to whiteness.

Poolaris will be 390x/Hawaii replacements at $350. Vega won't be ready until 2017. By then we'll have Volta with HBM2.
Face it, in the end you're all just performance hungry sluts who doesn't care about justice. You want the biggest and baddest cards shoved in your tiny little itx rigs.
>>54501214
But I am. I'm waiting to see what Zen looks like as well. I'm currently using a 4690k and an R9 290, but if Zen and Vega are everything they're supposed to be I'll likely be upgrading and going 4k.
>>54501214
I prefer GNU/Linux.
Also bad experiences with AMD Drivers on Windows anyway, so I wouldn't care for it.
You guys think they're really going to push Vega up to October and if so will it still have HBM2?

A new gen is better than the old one OH SNAP.... but hey better fall for marketing .... sad consumerdrones
Because I'm impatient and the 1070 comes out soon. AMD might be able to convince me to wait, but I doubt it. There's a lot of hype around Polaris, but who knows if it's just hype and won't be everything AMD is saying it will be.
Would it be better if AMD died and was bought out (at least their graphics department) by a company with the resources to make them more competitive?
>>54502085
it started giving me bluescreens because of nvidias new fuckboy drivers so i switched to an r7-370
>>54501214
I am but only because of being a poorfag and having waited for years anyways
>>54502907
you mean ... AMD?
Because that's exactly what they did...the company you're thinking of ("their graphics department") is/was called ATI and used to be separate.
It was bought by a company called AMD with the resources to make them more competitive.
>>54502968
>you mean ... AMD?
No. AMD does not have nearly as much money as Nvidia to invest in R&D, and especially marketing which is important because they need marketing to sell enough products to make enough profit to continue investing in R&D. ATI being bought by AMD is not quite what I'm talking about.
But I am waiting. I have the 970, but see no reason to upgrade since I'm on 1080p. I'm waiting for Vega, a non shit freesync monitor, and said freesync support on Linux. I don't know about GPU passthrough to a Windows KVM, I'd rather use the card natively on Linux. I don't know why people are going to buy the 1080 since it still won't be able to run UHD at 60Hz or 1440p at 120Hz, the 1070 looks like it will surpass the already popular 970 in sells.
>>54501214
Because I've already got this beauty in my system. That's right. Pre-SLI dual ASIC bitches.
>>54503003
AMD is a huge company, larger than nVidia by market cap, when you include the non-ATI parts. AMD:Intel::ATI:nVidia
They invest plenty in R&D, but a majority goes to APUs, memory arch, etc rather than GPUs.
This hasn't stopped them from designing the GPUs used in almost all non-PC-form-factor hardware
Because I just bought a 6600k and waiting for the 1070.
Already preordered my Founder's Edition GTX 1080
>>54501429
>because all rumors are making polaris 10 a low/midrange card
Where the fuck did this stupid meme come from? There are plenty of rumors saying that polaris 10 is going to offer at least Fury X performance.
Fucking Nvidia shills.
>>54506085
please post those rumors
all ive found is the hitman 1440p dx12 benchmark which would put it around fury performance
>>54501214
I wanted something for amdgpu, so I got a 380X because it was the best GCN1.2 card before a Fury.
I'll probably wait until 2017 to upgrade again, when Vega has dropped in price, and the drivers are more or less stable.
because I bought my 290x in summer last year with the money I saved,I don't give a fuck about Polaris.

You could have found all that with a quick google search yourself, but I'll gladly spoonfeed an Nvidia shill like you.
>>54501214
They can't match Pascal performance.
>>54506285
>speculation
Yeah until you can provide some legitimate evidence I'll agree with the other guy. I can find 10 different Web pages saying the 1080 is 3x faster than a fury x but I'm not a shill like you to do that because I follow the hard facts given by nvidia themselves. Amd have said themselves on their own roadmap that polaris 10 and 11 are mid and low range with vega being the higher end cards.
Please, go shill on WCCFtech or some other site where retards fit in.
>>54501214

Because AMDs are cheap for a reason.
But seriously, unless you're running 3 4K screens at once and need 144 FPS you don't need the most expensive card out there. I run games like GTA V, Fallout 4, Witcher 3 and MGSV at 4K at or near max settings and I don't get any issues with framerates and I have a GTX 770 3.5GB.
Still I am going to get the 1080 a few months after release (so I can see if there are any deal-breaking issues) because I need a new card with HDMI 2.0 and I'll have the money so why not go for something that will be great for a few years?

So what? This isn't new. Both AMD and NVIDIA have been doing this for over a decade now, and they're still at it. The 390 is a rebrand of the 290.
Rebrand or not, it's still a great card senpai.
>>54502085
I own hd6850 that should be equivalent to gtx460 and it's fine for lowest setting 1080p

Negro I'm still on Pitcairn.
I'm just waiting for low end cards to not be based on Bonaire and Pitcairn so I'm kind of hype for Polaris 11. Anything is an upgrade at this point.
How about this?

I think I am just going to switch to gaymen laptops, though AMD may prove useful for an eGPU

Here's the story, some reports say Polaris 10 can't hit 850 MHz reliably and that availability will be pushed back to October. I sincerely hope the rumor is not true.
The news arrived through Nordic Hardware saying that AMD's partners "won't have any new cards to display at Computex and the only Polaris cards promoted to them from AMD are R9 390/390X performance class but for a mid-range price. Reports say Polaris 10 can't hit 850 MHz reliably, whereas Nvidia already demoed the 2000 MHz marker with their GPUs.
A board partner response seem to be "as of now, no information".
Rumor indicates that this info is backed by a rather large AMD partner, that there will be no Polaris-based video cards from AMD partners at Computex. That means no Polaris on Computex and no availability of the cards shortly thereafter (if this is true).
If true, man can AMD please catch a break ...

>>54515717

Because I'm waiting for Zen instead.
I don't see AMD making good Linux drivers any time soon, so I'm not holding my breath for them.
>>54510946
yeah but why buy something I already own in terms of performance again? I already finished my first PC build that summer I don't want to revisit past accomplishments of" what could have been".
Is there a legitimate reason to support Nvidia over AMD?
AMD doesn't have a long history of sketcy, anti-competitive behaviour, pushes for open-source software, doesn't nerf their cards after a new gen release ane often has better price to performance.
Why do some /g/ anons still like Nvidia? I decided to boycott them after the 970/GameWorks debacle.
>>54515717
this turbo boost bullshit on modern processors makes determining the true speeds a bitch.
but it looks like it should hit 2ghz with reasonable overclocking.
>>54517830
The only reasons to go with Nvidia over AMD is if you are hellbent on having the absolute best performance on brand new games at release and/or you have a potato PSU/prebuilt. Nvidia is going to beat AMD there most of the time since they're in the devs pockets and Maxwell had an edge on the R9 200/300 series in terms of energy efficiency.
Also,

I'm not playing any demanding games anyway. They run Overwatch and Dark Souls at max settings, which is all I care about now.
>>54519416
What annoys me most about article like this is people never seem to read them. It's all well and good for tech sites to do a followup and say they were wrong and reported rumour as though it was fact, but the damage is already done in the mind of people looking to buy AMD cards and don't keep that up to date with news.
>>54520372
I should have also said that I'm just waiting to update my CPU and motherboard at the moment.
Mostly because my motherboard is lacking a lot of features, like 4pin fan headers and m.2.

>someone supporting nvidia
Are you thick? I don't support nvidia. I've had ATI/AMD cards since 2007. And I've had one nVidia card since last year. I don't particularly support either company. I agree with a lot of what he says like all the dodgy marketing stuff but in no way is he correct about wanting nvidia to leave the market. That's just sheer fanboy hate for another company. Unless you're fucking deluded and born with half a brain you can easily see he's not here to make videos about helping the market, all he seems to want to happen for is nVidia and Intel die out. That's fucking stupid and is exactly why I'm saying he wants to rid the market of any competition with his bullshit lies and fanboyism.

Nah, Vega will hopefully hit the milestone of high refresh 1440p or 60fps 4K. Navi or Volta won't deliver high refresh UHD, that's more like 2020.
>>54520460
>Prove what he says is lies.
The fact you can't answer this for yourself shows how uneducated you are with all this. You probably don't know the first thing about how an api works yet you still pretend your some games developer genius because you watch some guy on YouTube. Lmao go to bed kid.
>Prove you know more than him.
Anyone who doesn't get all their facts from WCCFtech knows more than this guy.
>Prove he 'hates nvidia and intel and wants them to die out'.
The guy literally says in this master plan videos that he hopes amd kicks nvidia out of the market and that he wants it to get to a point where nvidia can't be saved ie them dying out as a consumer brand
He also goes on to say amd will do intel so hard that they'll lose their billions in money to a point where they won't even be able to buy nvidia despite them currently being 10x the size of nvidia, ie they'll be at the point of bankruptcy.
>Prove you're not an Nvidia fanboy in a shitty disguise.
If you didn't take so long to reply I'd still be at home on my pc which I'd gladly show you my 290. Too bad you'll still write me off as an nvidia fanboy just because I don't agree with some bum whose making all amd users including me a laughing stock with his crazy claims.
>>54520548
You're* some
>>54520475
now thats what id call good marketing. amd will become rich again if they did that
>>54520548
Hey man great points, could you link me to your youtube channel where you explain all this stuff and use multiple sources to back your claims up? It's okay if you make a few jokes and exaggerations, I'm sure people won't take everything literally and get super butthurt over it.
>>54520548
>The guy literally says in this master plan videos that he hopes amd kicks nvidia out of the market and that he wants it to get to a point where nvidia can't be saved ie them dying out as a consumer brand
I've watched those videos twice and never heard him saying anything like that at all. AdoredTV is pretty much a blessing if you're interested in current GPU stuff. He rips on both AMD and Nvidia by the way. His explanations go way beyond what you see posted here on /g/ in terms of why certain decisions were made in the past.
I don't even think you can call Adored an AMD apologist either because he's pretty open about talking about AMD's huge weaknesses just as he's open about calling Nvidia out on their marketing.

>>54520613
In his latest video he talks about how pascal is probably just a die shrunk maxwell, but how that would be great because maxwell is already really strong and efficient, I really don't get people who say he hates Nvidia
Because my R9 390 is good enough :^)
>tfw been waiting on this die shrink since 2012 when you bought a gtx 670
Whatever is the fastest Polaris card, I'm buying, fucking AMD needs to hurry up
>>54520543
>Nah, Vega will hopefully hit the milestone of high refresh 1440p or 60fps 4K.
Polaris already delivers 60fps 1440p.
Vega has almost twice the shaders and HBM2, so it should be capable of 60fps 4k easily - especially since you don't need AA at 4k.
>>54520640
All Nvidia is dominating is your wallet senpai

>>54520915
What would be a good upgrade for a 660 ti? I wanted an AMD card since I was told Nvidia fucks over people with drivers.
>>54520983
Well since we have no specifics about performance or price, how am I supposed to answer that
>>54520983
I've read that the MSI 390 and 390x have way better cooling than a lot of other 390s, could try and snap one cheaply if you can't wait for Polaris.
>>54501214
I'll probably get Nvidia, but if midrange Polaris turns out darn good, Nvidia will have to lower its prices.
>>54502085
It actually still runs good, with the exception that nvidia's stupid drivers crash from time to time...
>>54520915
But when is Bristol Ridge?
>>54520543
If you're in a 390/970 or above, then you really shoudn't upgrade to Polaris or Pascal. You should probably wait for Vega and big Pascal with yummy HBM2. The cards will expensive as shit though.
HOT OFF THE PRESSES, REVISED POLARIS SPECULATION!
TechPowerUp has sources to state that Polaris10Pro will only be 2048SP not the 2304SP previously leaked!
Also updated with extra clockrates!
anyone else got a 750Ti and satisfied with it?
I mean, i have a super nintendo for video games.
>>54526375
Interesting; coming from a 290x I'm waiting for Vega, but this would be a great upgrade for anyone with literally anything less
>>54502050
>completely new architecture
>>54501429
>october release for vega

lmao
>>54526375
Intredasting. This suggests that on DX12 workloads Polaris at top speed crushes 1080 and 980ti at a price that will be more in line with the 1070.
BECAUSE IM TIRED OF THIS WAITING BULLSHIT. ALL I DO I WAIT. I FOLLOWED PEOPLE ADVICE TO WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT AND I STILL USE GTX660 WITH I5-750 BECAUSE "LOL WAIT".
There.
Yes, Im mad.
If polaris replaces everything up to Fury X, what is vega supposed to be?
>>54526856
If you can't figure out when to wait and when to buy on your own then you deserve the frustration
You want a 400% increase over the 750ti? Buy an aftermarket 1080. You want the best card of 2016? Wait for Vega
Why do you wait? Brand loyalty? Banking on the future? Just buy as you need things. Odds are you don't even need new hardware.
>>54501529
Intel already pushed back 10nm to 2018, and glofo /samsung/IBM are estimated to have a commercially viable 7nm process around that time.
>tfw next polaris cards won't even touch the 1070 let alone the 1080
Enjoy your mainstream shit cards while the big boys handle the real cards.
>>54527146
>this confidence
You can be condescending when benchmarks come out you retarded cuck
>>54527162
All the leaked die sizes and stuff that AMD has put out so far supports what I said, they are aiming for mainstream. So eat shit
>>54527146
>implying I give a shit
I don't want to upgrade my 970 when 1080 won't even do 4k at 60Hz, get the fuck out with that shit. Vega though, I'm hyped for that if it's this year.
>>54527207
the 1080 will be at least 3,5 faster than your current card though
>>54527207
it's sure nice having 3.5gb
I have a 270x and it's a piece of shit. I regret buying amd
>>54527231
>>54527242
Nice memes. The 970 was an incredible value when it came out. Hawaii is now better, but the 970 is no slouch being neck to neck with the 390. I also put out that I want Vega, not big Pascal.
>>54527175
And other leaks show that Polaris 10 has a 3dmark firestrike score rivaling the 980ti, and a hitman dx12 demo also rivaling the 980ti
So you eat shit. You have no fucking idea how either card will perform until benchmarks come out
Fucking fanboys Jesus christ
>>54527278
I'm in the same boat
Waiting for Vega, but if it's not coming out til next year I'll get a black Friday 1080
>>54527274
>buying rebranded Pitcarn
It's your fault not going for Tahiti GOAT or soon to be GOAT Hawaii.
>>54527274
You bought a piece of shit card. Amd has nothing to do with it
Nvidia makes shit cards too
>>54527296
>buying the shit price to performance option
The 1070 will be the 970 all over again except this time they're admitting not having full 8GB of FRAM. Negligible performance difference to the 1080 at a fraction of the cost.
>>54527300
I have never seen a GOAT card from novidya. strange..
>>54527339
The 8800GT was GOAT.
>>54527322
>The 1070 will be the 970 all over again except this time they're admitting not having full 8GB of FRAM.
Are you actualy dumb enough to think that they will make the same mistake again? It will be the first fucking thing reviewers test when they finaly get their hands on the card
the 1070 will basically be a 980ti with much lower power draw at half the cost. Now lets see if AMD can deliver something to compete with that
>>54527362
I mean the 1070 will be the buy to make and will probably sell just as well as the 970. They won't make the same memory bullshit again unless it really is a shrunk Maxwell. AMD won't be able to compete on that level with Polaris. I hope their $300 is still at least Nano level.
>>54527162
>Benchmarks show gtx 1080 blasts away anything AMDont puts out
>Victim complex AMDbois start claiming its rigged
Yeah cant wait
>>54527322
>negligible
It has 4/5 the performance. I don't care about price; a couple hundred dollars is negligible if the gpu will last 2-3 years. Not falling for sweet spot memes ever again
And even then, I said I won't pay $700 for a 1080. I'll pay $600 at most, probably less on black Friday
>>54527388
You fucking nigger, I never said anything remotely close to that
I'm only saying nobody has a real accurate measure of 1070 or Polaris performance until those benchmarks come out
In 3 weeks we'll know for sure. Then let the shit flinging fly
>>54527280
Hush bitch. Polaris 10 is shit compared to the new nvidia cards.

Stop embarrassing me. That's dx12 performance; who knows how it'll do in dx11 titles which still matters the most
And fuck dude, those are expected benchmarks with clock rates we don't even know. Literally guessing

>>54528015
>That's dx12 performance; who knows how it'll do in dx11 titles which still matters the mos
Yuuuuuuuup.
AMD isn't ever goingto fix DX11 and nVidia doesn't have hardware async compute - it's clear Pascal will always be the #1 DX11 card - Volta probably won't even best it in DX11 performance.
DX12 is the reality of right now though, Hitman as shit as the game was is great in DX12 so was ROTTR.
>clock rates we don't even know. Literally guessing
It even says so right on the image, that why there is a range of clockrates - because we have no idea
>although some people are now saying 1700mhz, I don't think it's a good enough source yet to update the image though.
>STOP PICKING SIDES BASED ON USELESS SPECULATION
No.
>>54528021
No.
>>54528086
>DX12 is the reality of right now though
>amdrones actually believe this with no relevant AAA dx12 games even coming out this year or next
Yeah you can enjoy your 1% extra performance in that 1 dx12 game in the next 2 years whilst I enjoy my superior dx11 performance in every single game for the foreseeable future.
>>54528015
Clock rates aren't even predicted to be higher than 1.2 ghz if even that. Multiple leaked benchmarks have the clock speeds lower than 1ghz compared to just the one benchmark showing 1.2ghz. I think digital foundry did an article about it.

All the pro-Nvidia shills on here are pretty much confirmed being payed by Nvidia. Gotta save up those dollas to buy an overpriced card right guys?
>Nvidia again has the fastest card
>not only that, but they might even hold the two fastest cards for the majority of the year and this isn't even their big gpu.
>all the leaks so far that AMD's 'top' card will be a cheap mainstream card
If I wanted cheap mainstream gaming I would game on a console
>>54528376
The 1080 is slower than the Pro Duo.
>>54528394
thats a dual gpu card...., effectively two fiji gpu's strapped on one card, with all the CF issues that come with it
>>54528376
>cheap and shitty
thats all AMD is and ever will be
>>54528394
This is where you went full retard. Dual GPU cards don't count for shit. I'll wait for Vega instead of that dual GPU monstrosity, they really should have released that on October last year, it's way too late.
>>54501214
I'm not poor to buy trash like AMD.
>>54528376
Polaris 10 is not the big card; Vega is
Bought a Sapphire 290X on a 390X PCB. Good enough. I am waiting to see what Zen has to offer before I jump into a DDR4 rig.
