Official Thread #055: The "Ten Eighty" Edition
Good Morning,
This thread is to consolidate graphics card and display technologies discussion to reduce unnecessary thread clutter on /g/. Let's also keep the shilling to a minimum, no-one fucking cares.
Direct any and all questions regarding Graphics Cards and Display Adapters here first, including purchase and sale questions:
Use >>>/g/gcg/
For non-related questions, link to find the stupid questions thread:
>>>/g/sqt
Support questions should be directed to >>>/wsr/, as per /g/'s sticky. Or just fucking Google it instead of shitposting.
The GTX 1080 and its reviews are released tomorrow.
In the news:
>DOOM has a suspicious lean towards Nvidia in its benchmarks. The culprit seems to be the game defaulting to OpenGL 4.3 instead of the more efficient 4.5 no matter which settings when running with an AMD display adapter:

1080 reviews when?
Polaris reviews when?
Upgrading my R9 280x DC2
I fell for the 6700k meme and sold my 2500k sandy bridge. So my 6700k needs a decent GPU.
Fanboys aside.
1080 (Ti)?
or buy Polaris / wait for Vega?
It's the fucking same story EVERY FUCKING YEAR. HELP ME
Should I sell my R9-290 for $289 and get a GTX1070 for $435?
>>54595396
How do you plan on getting $289 for a 290? You can buy them new for less
Do we have any performance numbers for Polaris 11 yet?
>Budget crown:
>AMD RTG Radeon R9 380X
GTX 1050 soon...

>>54595422
>GTX 1050 soon.
>soon
In a year, maybe.
We'll have the r7 470 in just a couple of weeks and it'll deliver GTX 970 performance for half the price.
So is the difference between the 1070 and 1080 going to be noticeable?
Also, anyone else own the Dell UltraSharp 34" and care to comment on it?
>>54595444
Watched that.... fuck Nvidia Marketing.
It's just a bumped Maxwell. I don't mind that, but they have to sell it like that then.
>>54595484
But Adored is a major AMD fanboy.
>>54595486
hes obviously touched.
Lets talk about this video instead
>Pascal came out of nowhere

>>54595486

Yeah... great fanboy :)
>>54595513
he shills AMD all the time in his videos. But even an AMD fanboy couldn't pick the fury over a 980ti.
Can't wait for 1080ti + Dell P4317Q combo.
>>54595450
Oh wow. Might be going AMD then since they will release their budget cards earlier.
Also, if the 470 might be in 970 performance, how bout the 1050?
>>54595377
>1080 reviews when?
Tomorrow. I already said this in the OP
>Polaris reviews when?
The launch date for Polaris will be announced at computex, also said in the OP
>1080 (Ti)?
>or buy Polaris / wait for Vega?
Vega and the Ti will both probably be very nice. But its all rumor for now.
>>54595396
Yes
>>54595415
No. Rumors say Polaris will probably be a laptop part though. Low tier cards will more than likely be small Polaris 10.
>>54595444
Get that shill shit out of here. AdoredTV is sensationalist fucking cancer. Nice trips though.
>>54595470
It'll be the same as the 980 and 970 were.
>>54595400
I live in Eastern Europe and cryptocurrency miners are willing to pay a premium.
>>54595539
>It'll be the same as the 980 and 970 were.

>It's the fucking same story EVERY FUCKING YEAR. HELP ME
i'm still using a gtx780, desperately need to upgrade now that gimpworks is turning everything to shit
was about to buy a 980ti a couple months ago until i saw all the "new shit soon" launch rumours
>>54595609
There is no point to that card. It's overkill for 1080p and way too weak for bigger resolutions.
>>54595563
About ~20-25% difference in performance. If Nvidia doesn't fuck up the 1070 like last time.
>>54595583
The guide isn't deal specific, only normal RRP. And the /gcg/s choice is based off board interest, nothing more.
Explanation is in the sticky. Which I now realised isn't in the OP.

Hello

>>54595664
WELCUM
>>54595664
Hello friend
>>54595470
There is going to be quite some difference. I'd still suggest 1070 since the 1080 seems to be the next nvidia memecard.
>>54595660
>>54595716
Thanks friends. I'm leaning to the 1070, just because I usually don't do AAA titles, but didn't know if it was a stupid investment that's going to be obsolete in a year or two.
>>54595644
Which is hilarous considering it supports 8k@60hz
its like saying a car 'supports' 200mph but only goes 100 because its underpowered as fuck
Guess we will be all waiting until 2018 for 'new' cards that arnt retreads
what is the best power per cash laptop GPU?
>>54595660
1070 is just going to be 980ti but worse famalam.
>>54595644
>>54595761
>if it doesn't do it at max settings, that performance literally does not exist

>>54595521
>But even an AMD fanboy couldn't pick the fury over a 980ti.
10 MINS
>>54595760
I'd probably suggest against the 1070 then. Its probably going to be a ripper of a card, but if you're not playing AAA's, then some budget/mainstream card will probably do you better.
Maybe wait and see what AMD offers for their cards. Polaris will allegedly be under $299 and perform as well as a 390 with less than half the power consumption.
To each their own though. I'll wait for Vega before I make my choice.
>>54595765
No-one knows, cause gayman laptops a meme. If I had to guess, I'd probably say it would be either the 970M or 980M.

>>54595819
I shouldn't say AAA is out of the question. I'd like to try a few out on the horizon, but they just aren't my bread and butter. I most enjoy wargames and the occasional Company of Heroes / Men at War / Squad / ARMA so there is a need for a GPU, and I'm making a new tower from scratch, so I wanted everything to be as "future proof" as possible for the next say 4-5 years. It seems that in any case the 1080 is indeed beyond my scope.
>>54595835
Even the Nvidia paid videocards site has it over the 980ti
5 MINS
>>54595847
1070 it is then.

Please stop. It's a good card, but no way in hell I'd buy a Fury X over a 980Ti today.

Could someone suggest a non-meme GPU that would pair with my 4570, ensuring that neither are a bottleneck?

I would like to see how well it fair against an overclocked 980ti since what Nvidia did is essentially pushing the clock on the higher side of the spectrum to widen the gap.

no one is allowed to release preformance spec's untill the 1080 is realeased for sale. Why do you think their is no real benchmarks yet. People would be canceling their pre orders. I wish you guys would learn basic marketing.

Lel. Seeing what a big disappointment the 1080 turned out to be, the new Polaris cards might actually manage to match the 1070 in performance as long as AMD really did improve their architecture as much as they've been bosting, even if the Polaris chip is smaller.
>>54596433
Lol and overclocking virtually does not give a performance boost on these cards
>>54596445
Yea, no.
m-muh faster than SLI 980s...
>>54595422
Polaris is going to be the budget crown bruh, Nvidia is only focusing on high end this round
>>54596460
>Seeing what a big disappointment the 1080 turned out to be
Do you really think so? I'm an AMDpoor but I was actually surprised at some of the gaming results, like especially the AotS results on Tom's shillware.

Holy shit is the 1080ti and titan going to be over 1000usd? This is fucking insane
Will an Archon or Tesseract be enough for 970 and above?
I need a budget case right now and I'm not feeling like buying another when the new cards get released and the prices adjusted (then I willl decide which one to pick)
>>54596514
The result is good, but it is within expectation.
People have been saying that it have worse clock per clock performance compared to 980ti and it actually turned out to be true

>1080 benches
All I see is wait for Vega and 1080Ti. It still couldn't do 60fps across the board, and judging by how it performs, the 1070 is less amazing than it was lead to be. I'm in the lookout for a 1440p monitor with *sync and am heavily considering Vega with a freesync monitor. If anything, it feels underwhelming after all the hype it build up several days ago. It might just be a rehashed Maxwell, that would be hilarious.
>>54597263
alright thanks
>tfw still running a 760
thinking of getting a 1070/1080 though
>>54597275
It is a rehashed and overclocked Maxwell, they just shrunk the die.
>>54597275
It is a refreshed maxwell, it's performance increase was almost 1-1 with the % increase in density from switching to 16nm from 28nm, and yeah it really is a waste if it still can't do 4k 60fps
>>54597275
1080ti will not come out until mid 2017 and Vega 10 will not be a 1080ti competitor.
Vega 10 probably be in the same market segment as the 290x, which was faster than the 680/770 but slower than the 780ti
>>54597395
>Vega 10 will not be a 1080ti competitor.
Let's not get too hasty out there nigga. Pascal underperformed, simple as that. They can cram in more cores and make a huge housefire, but I doubt it will be a crushing defeat to Vega.
All I ask for is a 1440p/4k benchmark that doesn't also use redundant and intensive shit like MSAA.
>>54597418
Vega 10 will not be a 600mm^2 chip. Based on the rumored specs it's closer to 400mm^2
600mm^2 chips (i.e. Titan, x80ti or Fury branded cards) will not be available to consumers before mid 2017. That's probably what Vega 11 will be.
>>54597509
I think you have them backwards. Polaris 10 is beefier than Polaris 11 for example.
Is it time to upgrade my 560ti?
A friend is selling me a GTX980 for $250, yay or nay?
Most intensive thing I'll run is Dark Souls 3 and Touhou, would it run them at 60fps on 1440p if I turn down the settings?
>>54597579
Do you play intensive, unoptimized, heavy on the tessellation 3.5-hour long AAA games?
If the answer is no to every descriptor, no, you don't need to upgrade for another 2 years.
>>54597598
yes
I hope Anandtech calls out on Nvidia's bullshit.
>>54597606
>Do you play intensive, unoptimized, heavy on the tessellation 3.5-hour long AAA games?
I play Dark Souls 3 and frames do drop in 3 areas with everything at minimum so I was thinking on getting the 1070 as it does seem it will last me another 5 years.
>>54597547
The numbers are meaningless. According to the chief engineer (that Indian guy) they just count upwards from 10.
>>54597639
>Anandtech
rifk
>>54597664
It's Dark Souls 3, yet another badly optimized game ported from consoles. You should expect frame drops.
>>54597275
You know, while disappointing, it absolutely demolishes its successor, the 980. Waiting for the bigger cards seems like the best choice to me.

Top kek, Nvidia.
>>54597900
>>54598114
wait so does this mean they took the efficiency gains from the die shrink and just raised the clocks to make it faster than the old cards? Doesn't this eat up most of the overclocking headroom of the 1080?`
>Pascal is actually a housefire
Is it time to flip the memes again?
>>54598219
more like return them back to the beginning, when fermi was destroying entire neighborhoods
>>54598187
We'll find out if you can go way above factory overclock soon enough when little snot-nosed Timmy tries to OC his GPU.
>>54598260
could this potentially mean that polaris will be more overclockable since it's not just a die shrink like pascal
>>54598293
also could that mean that overclocking polaris would get you close to 1080 performance at the cost of temps?

I will definitely buy the GTX 1070.
It will be the perfect card for 2K gaming at max settings.
And I don't even need to upgrade my efficient 350Watts PSU for it.
First come, first serves. AMD has nothing to counter both the GTX 1070 and the GTX 1080.
Polaris 10 will be for 1080p gaming.

>>54598549
Only downside is that Nvidia forces you to buy a G-Sync monitor which are atleast 100 bucks more expensive than Freesync ones.
But AMD has nothing to offer unfortunately until Vega.
>>54598617
aye. fucking nvidijews might've got me this time if they would've supported freesync.
fuck g-sync and it's price tag
>>54598617
I remember reading pascal had some new sync method that wasn't monitor dependent?
>>54598617
>Vega
Is Vega really coming this year? it's kinda weird seeing amd pulling things forward instead of back.
>>54598617
AMD has Polaris coming in less than a month. If you think that the biggest Polaris chip can't compete with the 1070 you're delusional.
>>54598650
gsync monitors have to pass stricter clock quality control and they don't shit themselves if framerate dips. Unfortunately they are still expensive, for now.
>>54598671
Vega 10 won't come out until 2017, but it will get paper launched to save face against the slaughter GP104 has brought.
And then Nvidia will shut AMD up for good with GP100 consumer chips...
>>54598671
The only limiting factor is HBM2 availability. Maybe that changed.

This is just rumors but GP100 maybe facing yield issues in addition to lack of hbm2 chips.

You're asking way too much. I bought a used sapphire 390 for 280. Even new the 390 can creep to that price when it's on sale with a Mir.
If you crabs list it for 290 it'll probably sit for awhile and loose even more value when the new cards come out and the 390/x drops in price. That's a $200 dollar card right now. Put it up for 220 so low ballers have something to play with.

>fury X is water cooled otherwise it would be past 100C easily.
Who the fuck is grasping straws again? You?
The mandatory watercooler on the FuryX is a clever ploy to trick retards into buying it. And apart from that, the AIO does a good job too.
As for your claims of 100 degrees. No FuryX card is air cooled. So you literally have 0 proof. Not to mention the Nano being a fucking full Fiji chip, and only needing one fan to cool it. Stop getting mad you green retard.
>>54598822
At 4k its not that far ahead of a fury x or 980ti all told - certainly within reach of an overclocked fury x or 980ti.
What is more concerning is (according to TPU) it doesn't always outperform a 295x2 which is shocking given 1) how fast the 1080 is and 2) how old the 295x2 is, dual gpu or no.

Are you retarded? GP100 is in extremely short supply. This year you can only buy it in Nvidia's own $129.000 servers and early next year it will be available to server OEMs for their own servers.
It will be the second half of 2017 before any GP100 chips make it to consumers.

>GP100 is in extremely short supply
But that's not why it's priced so high, you AMDnigga. It's not even meant for consumer use because it's too powerful and specialized for compute-heavy tasks. The reason why they charge so much for the Tesla cards is because the enterprise world can stomach the large bill, so Nvidia is getting away with as much Jewing as they can pull before they have to start selling GP100 to consumers to shut out AMD from the market. AMD has NOTHING that can compete with the GP100 in the HPC market and Intel has their own $100k Knight's Landing.

I was planing to get a r9 380(380x if I can find a good deal), should I wait though?
What budget cards am I looking at for this next gen? I plan to switch cards in 1 month or so, but from my understanding, Nvidia budget range won't be out by then.
So, I'm looking at AMD 200 dollaritos price range, which one will that be and when can we expect a release date?
>>54599054
R9 480, I guess. It should be out by then. AMD are said to reveal their new lineup of Polaris cards on June 1st at Computex.
>>54599054
don't bother waiting, just get what you need now and wait for HBM2 to become standard
r9 380x from sapphire, the r9 380 should be under $200

>>54599048
Stop talking out of your ass.
GP100 is at 610 mm2 per die size which is larger than even Maxwell. Yields are bound to be low due to less chips being able to fit on the silicon. Hence the lower yields and higher pricing.
GP100 being limited in supply is not impossible.
>>54599054
if you wait a month you might get a good deal on a used card.
I'll probably upgrade from 380x to 1080 and sell my card dirt cheap
Real talk guys, I wanna upgrade my graphics card. I am still running a 560ti and witcher 3 is a slide show. I am digging either the 1080 or 1070, depending on how much OT I can get. Should I just pull my old card and slot in the new one, format and start win 7 from scratch, or build a whole new rig around this card.
I have an i5-2500k, 8 gigs ram, SSD, ASUS mobo (forget the designation). .
>>54599187
Just get a new gpu from whichever brand you can afford the best one. CPU and rest is fine.
>>54599162
If you consider the supposed specs of the 1070 yields msut be pretty bad for the 1070 to be such a huge step down from the 1080 in raw hardware.
>>54599187
>win 7
Upgrade to Windows 10. It's better and faster in every aspect.
>i5-2500k, 8 gigs ram, SSD, ASUS mobo
That should be fine.
If you play at 1080p get the 1070 or the 490X once it's out and if it isn't shit; for higher resolutions get the 1080.
>>54598410
>still only gets 20-30fps in 4k
How the fuck?
We're still stick at this shit since 2013 what the fuck is going on?
unless we can fucking summon 2x the performance out of these newer cards with DX12 and Vulkan there really is no hope.

Wait for AMD's release. One of two things will happen.

>>54599213
No, the reason why the 1070 has such different specs this time around is to prevent OC'd 1070s from cannibalizing the 1080's market share. That's also why they gave the 1080 GDDR5X memory rather than GDDR5.
The 970 OC'd was too close for comfort to the 980, which stole sales from the more powerful card as a result. Nvidia does not want a repeat of that.
>>54599239
>>54599263
aye they crank up every setting no matter if it does anything. I'm sure if you optimize a little you can get 60 fps at 4k with a lot of games.
it is also the best way to make older games look a LOT better and here you won't have any problems with the fps. good luck with shitty scaling though.

Jen-Hsun Huang can lick my salty caucasian nutsack this cycle, no matter how 1080/1070 end up doing.
I know Pascal will turn to shit as soon as Volta comes out anyway, and I prefer a 3+ year upgrade cycle instead of the 2 year one Nvidia tries to push.

>>54599295
What do Nvidia care? The sheer number of 970's sold vastly offset the higher margins of the 980. Either way if someone bought a 970 or a 980 it means they aren't buying AMD which is what Nvidia really wants.
>>54599332
>The sheer number of 970's sold vastly offset the higher margins of the 980
The problem is that later in the product's life cycle when yields mature, they had a glut of full GM204 chips that were in oversupply. Unsold GPUs means no revenue, so they probably had to turn a lot of those into 970-ready GPUs in order to reduce loses. It's better if the 1080 is significantly faster than the 1070 so that this supply problem doesn't hinder sales later in the life cycle. Even if the 1080 Ti launches, there will still be a demand for 1080s over the 1070s, just at a slightly lower price point.
>>54599295
>>54599392
does anybody even really know what the availability of 1080 will be short-term?
GDDR5X barely exists at present, and it just feels like Nvidia is just floating out a paper launch to make the 1070 look better than it deserves by association.
>>54595249
so, the best options for your resolution are these:
1080p = GTX 1070
1440p - GTX 1080
4K = wait for 1080Ti
we can all agree on this, right?
>>54599460
More like
1080p = Polaris 10
1440p = Vega 10
4K = wait for Vega 11
>>54599392
A sound theory but still consider for the last few generations there hasn't been much of a hardware difference (give or take clockspeed) between the x80 and x70 models. The enormous gap for pascal might have more going on than mere worrying about oversupply.
Even more so when you consider that the 1080ti (should it exist) is likely to use GDDR5X and thus could be cut down to make a 1080 should the need arise. While this is all pure theory it is still something to consider.
>When Vega is released here it will be named to Balrog
>>54599312
Nvidia does not update drivers on much older cards like yours as much as AMD does admittedly.
So if you plan on running older generations cards you are probably better off with AMD cards, on newer generations you are clearly better off with Nvidia.
>>54599460
More like
1070=1440/60
1080=1440/120
>>54599541
Typically people don't upgrade every 18 or 24 months. The whole marketing push behind maxwell was to force 6xx owners to upgrade - cards that were 3 years (or more) old at the time.
>wait another 2 years after you waited for 3 years straight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdKI1wj-JpI
>>54599570
Nobody forces you to upgrade, I ran a 670 until about half a year ago and it served me really well for such an old card.
It makes sense that they stop optimizing for older cards at some point. They do the same with smartphones and OS's
>GTX970's still cost more than the RRP of the 1070 in the UK
Reee etc
I'm guessing the 1070 wont actually be around the £270rrp will it? I'm guessing it's going to end up being £350+
>>54599604
You can pick up used ones for literally 200 bucks
>inb4 don't want to use, used cards
Well then pay alot more for an older generation card
some guy at my nearest microcenter told me that i can keep my 970 as texture cache (really didnt understand what he told me) while still being able to use a 1080 at the same time, is this actually possible? i thought you needed the exact same nvidia card for sli. can someone tell me where cam i research more on this? thanks in advance.

>1080ti (should it exist) is likely to use GDDR5X and thus could be cut down to make a 1080 should the need arise
But that's fucking wrong. The 1080 Ti will be a GP100 GPU, which will only use HBM2 due to its memory controller which is different from GP104. It will have to use HBM2 without going through some costly redesign.
And I doubt Nvidia will sell the GP100 for less than $650.

Why do people get so worked up over GPUs? Brand loyalty is stupid. Reminds me of elementary school when we argued about SNES vs Genesis at the lunch table.
>>54599813
They are big purchases, especially the higher end ones and people have a big incentive to justify these big purchases.
It's pretty normal
>>54599681
well he told me it wasnt SLI as the 2 card wouldnt be used at the same time, he just told me about something about textures, he made it sound like really complicated. He said that the 1080 would be the main card, and the hardware on the 970 would be used for the textures or something along those lines. he was trying to fuck around with me?
>>54599840
You're right but for me the most important thing is what's the best value
Sadly it always ends up being nVidia as games always have AMD problems. I really don't like buying nVidia stuff due to shit like when The Witcher 3 came out their game ready drivers made performance worse for people with the previous generation of cards
>>54599860

A 670, which cost $400 at launch, is in nearly every metric stronger on paper than a 960.
Unfortunately, Nvidia saw fit to just pump up the tessellation stats in Maxwell then encourage game devs to flood every scene with innumerable ridiculously tiny triangles, completely fucking anyone with not just AMD hardware but also Kepler.
Nvidia's generations aren't as big sequential improvements as they claim. They just have enough industry clout to move software bottlenecks to whatever flavor of the month special acceleration unit they decide to add.

nigger, the entire point of the new DP 1.3/1.4 is not needing ghetto cropped monitors to get 120+Hz refresh.

>>54599940

Hopefully they drop to the $500 range in short order
>>54599944
where can i research more on this? he actually said physx but i didnt understand. is it worth it?
>>54599970
No.
Physx is barely used and of the games that do use it only a few really make good use of physx (even then you can run physx off your cpu but its not without a performance hit because Nvidia can't code for shit).
Fun fact: people used to enable hybrid physx (i.e an Nvidia card dedicated for the job) via driver fuckery when AMD cards were in the system but Nvidia actively disabled this.

I don't understand this line of thinking. Why are we comparing a stock clock to an OCd card when the former can also be OCd?
