What is your excuse /v/?
I'm poor.
I bought a 290x over a year ago.
i can tweak shit to run at 60fps on my 960
why would i pay 500 dollaritos for an increase in visual fidelity, i'm playing games not watching them
>980Ti
>In the next year
You are going to look this stupid in 6 months.
Far too expensive for me unfortunately.
And it's overkill for 1080p desu.
>600 dollars
>28nm
>>321385059
because my shitty 750ti runs everything that gets shat out for the "pc master race".
>>321385278

Well you'll look equally stupid in 18 months LOL
>>321385059
I only buy memecards if they're cheap enough.
>>321385278
780/ti owners sure thought their card would last forever huh.
I'm poor and just bought a 960 on Black Friday
waiting for pascal. 780 is still doing fine at 1080
>>321385807
>not a 380
u dun goofed
>>321385059
>not having a 980ti
I don't play AAA games. Also Pascal is coming.
>>321385059
Because a card half its price will play everything now perfectly.
Because by the time 4k or fuck even 2k get decently supported and power like the 980ti is needed it will look like a lumbering piece of shit and another 300 dollar card will replace it and surpass it.
Its an over investment, better to split the price and use the other half for a more frequent upgrade.
>>321385059
I have a 980 and I know if I get a ti I'll regret as soon as the new cards drop.
I've come close to getting one though.
>>321385059

I'd have no excuse if I was on /g/.
There's a GTX 980 Ti for $550 on sale tomorrow. Should I get it?
Because my 3 years old 7950 runs everything better than consoles.

They didn't test with the 390.
>>321386320
It's a Galax GTX 980 Ti 6GB HOF Edition. Local parts store is doing boxing days sales and they have two units for sale.
>>321386393
titan X will be horribly irrelevant by the time 12gb vram is actually needed, plus dat stock cooler
Because I don't own a 144hz monitor nor am I in a clamber to get one. I didn't need to go above 970 price wise as it would be such a diminishing return when I wouldn't even see any differences for that much difference in price.
>>321386509
The ram chips get stupidly hot on the titan x.

Is it different from the beta?
I think it'd be big time overkill. Don't know what else to get, though. I've been out of the hardware loop for a few years.

I plan to install a second hitachi HDD and get an 850 pro next year. The card also probably matches your board better than my black and gold one.
don't have the cash, my 970 works fine for 1080p gaymen anyway
>>321387241
the 970 is very similar in performance to a 390.
You could most likely run everything at 144fps with your current card if you did want to upgrade.
I got two identical GTX 770s, but my motherboard is 8 year old warhorse, which turned out to have more longevity than any of my human relationships.
It doesn't support SLI, due to Intel and Nvidia nonsense, so it's CrossfireX motherboard. I have been looking at HyperSLI though, anyone got any experience with that, is it worth it for a project? Honestly don't really need it, because my computer runs pretty much everything I throw at it anyway, but it might be a fun project, while I wait for DDR4 to be more common.
>>321385059
I have a HD7850 in my desktop which I'll be replacing with a 390X or 970 sometime this year, or I might just build a whole new desktop entirely.
My laptop has a 780m which is surprisingly fucking better than my HD7850 card, which is bonkers.
>>321387415
>too stupid to read a chart
Its okay, Nvidia has the product for you.
>>321387723
Fun fact: a 290x is as fast as 7870 crossfire (and even faster when you need the extra vram).
I got a 970 in my rig which is more than sufficient for my single monitor 1080p needs
>>321387813
Yeah I got my 7850 when the 7970 was a top range card. I think it was around 2011, had the desktop for 4 years now, it chugs along running anything that isn't BF4, so I'm considering building a new desktop
Actually fuck it I'm going to throw one together on centercom (australian) and see how long i'll have to work to get a fully completely new one.

I'm a jelly fucker, I cheaped out, but 800 dollarydoos for a GPU that's marignally btter than the 600 one is not worth it to me, might as well buy the titan at the range, but the ti is better
plus it wouldn't fit in my case
>>321385159
You don't even need to be poor. I'm pretty well off, but I'm still thinking about a 970 or 980. Ti is just too much for way too little.

Is the 970's 3.5 issue really that bad? It's well in my price range. Or is the 980 more worthwhile?

>>321389325
if you're gonna poorfag, the 970 is an acceptable stopping point. The 980 is an ungly middle child now that the ti is out. 980ti is within 4% performance at worst and often better than a titan x (because custom PCBs and coolers) for less money while only a slight bump in price than a standard 980 and a big jump in performance. So, 970 or 980ti.
Plus you'll be meme'd to death

>>321385059
780 ti still maxing things with over 70-80+ fps average
I'll wait another few years
Because I bought 2 980s in prep for VR and then the next thing I knew the 980ti was out, my 980s weren't worth as much so I couldn't return/sell them for full price I paid, and it seemed silly to get rid of them to get a single card that didn't perform as well as my SLi config
Thinking about the 290 8GB card. The ony thing I'm worried about is how it will run Attilla total war. Has it been at least a litte optimized yet? I saw a benchmark where it had the same performance as a 660, which is fucking unnaceptable.

There is a reason why Nvidia is struggling to get latency down below the maximum upper limit the oculus guys want. There is also a reason why AMD has a year head start on VR.

Besides it only happens once in a few hours.

Good luck with Nvidia cripple driver year later like 780ti
>tfw don't have a fucking clue on which GPU to get
There's so many conflicting views on them. AMD? Nvidia? They all have their fair share of pros and cons. Does it just come down to personal preference?
I'm waiting for Half-Life 3 till I buy a new graphics card.
>>321387282

That game looks like fucking shit on Ultra.
Why do they think needing a High-End Card is justifiable for those shit graphics?

What should I upgrade next, /v/? Something is bottlenecking my system. I think its my HDD, so I'm thinking about upgrading/adding an SSD to my system first, but is my CPU also outdated? Notice that it's not the k version.
>>321389514
What case?
>>321390403
Budget is the biggest factor followed by performance.
>>321390476
>buying a Z board and a locked CPU
for what purpose?
if you're upgrading though, save up and get a new skylake chip, board, and DDR4, then a 1070 or whatever the fuck you can afford/works for you
>>321387123
You can't max GTA V with a 960
>>321390476
Ssd would be the only thing that helps. Since you're still at 1080 your specs are more than enough. Next upgrade would be a new monitor.
>780 died
>Got it replaced by a 980 via warranty
>>321390563
I bought this PC while I was still in college. So I didn't have a high budget. The initial build was with a R9 270x as graphics card. Now that I work for a few months I upgraded my graphics card to a 970, but something is still bottlenecking my rig because I can't get the full potential out of it. I'm gonna upgrade most of if tho, but I want advice on what I should upgrade first.

The 3.5 issue isn't nearly as bad as meme spouters would tell you, I've already pushed mine past the 3.5 point and SURPRISE SURPRISE it didn't explode.
>>321388612
Alright fuckers I settled on a build that will last me at least the next 4 years. Playing mostly at 1920x1080, have 2xgb ram already, 2 HDD's, a 1080p monitor that's at least 24-28" and a a G400 mouse that has lasted me 4 years and will probably last another 4 years.
Keep in mind i'm australian so GPU prices are ~300$ for a bargain bin card. I'm also not worried about CPU's as the only real bottleneck you get now is if you buy an i3 or pentium duo.
>>321389325
>Is the 970's 3.5 issue really that bad
It's only an issue if you plan on going higher than 1080.
If you have a 1080 monitor it's pretty much the best card right now though.

The 390 is objectively superior.
You're a complete brainless retard if you get a 970 over a 390.

>You're a complete brainless retard if you get a 970 over a 390.
I was with you right until the point I remembered video cards need drivers to work.

I bought a 970. I should be good for at least 2 more years.
>>321389909

>>321385059
already have a 980 for triple monitor gaming and to get into VR. Should've gotten a 290X for half the price instead and bided my time for a decent 16/14nm GPU.
980Ti is overkill but still better bang for buck compared to 980 even for a high end card which says something.
>>321392047
Ram speed makes very little difference in 99% of usage cases for a vidya machine. Hell I bet you think dual channel matters as well (hint: it doesn't).

Hell no, hence why I don't own Nvidia.
>>321392519
28nm is getting phased out soon anyways, not much point in shelling money on a 980Ti now.
Better to wait on a new process node, hopefully not another minor incremental upgrade this time.
>>321392785
so that's why many people were using 290X for buttcoin mining, highest compute per dollar.
buttcoin miners ruining everything, can't even buy used GPUs now without worrying about it shitting the bed early.
I'm fine with 1080p 60fps with my Memecard now that I can actually play games instead of seeking indies during my laptop days.
Nor am I made of money and particularly interested in 1440p, 4K and what not.
Its fine for me now.

What's with everyone saying AMD cards are about to be better than Nvidia? The majority of games run on gameworks and it'll probably remain that way
>muh amd

>>321393049
Australian man, it's the best price I can find, and I don't want to downgrade to a 960 for 360$ because I'm worried about performance.

The last time everyone stopped waiting and went ahead and bought a card was during the 970 debut. I sure hope it was worth the wait
Should i replace my 980 for a 980ti ?
>>321385059
decied to get a radeon 295x2 for 500$ brand new instead. A product from a company where the advertised specs are exacly what you get.
My 770 still let's me play everything at high or ultra settings with 60 fps so why
>>321397651
>60 fps pleb
FUCKEN LOL
because i have a HD6950 that still works perfectly fine and every single nvidia card that ever came into my house almost caused a fire.
not even kidding. was going to fix my mothers computer for xmas but the videocard started fucking smoking and smelt like burnt shit.
>>321397651
some cunts like to play in 2560x1440 at max settings for some unknown fucking reason.
I've settled for 1080p, the screens are the best size for my preferred seating position and while the quality IS better at 1440p, it's not really a necessity at this stage in gaming, more of an icing on top kinda deal.
because new architecture is out next year
which will fit almost twice the transistors per square inch
you would be a complete moron to buy a 980ti, especially since you most probably aren't even good enough to play games competitively. Having an expensive card doesn't mean you're any good at games. Most often the case is it is the opposite and you are overcompensating, only browsing websites at 1000fps and throwing money down the drain.
GTX 970 has been working fine for me. And I don't own (or plan on owning) a 4k monitor anytime soon.
My 770 is fine right now. Just plan on upgrading my CPU and thats it.

Yeah, I can't see any games worth playing that I can't run on my 770.
i turned into an efficiency fag, that's why i got my 980.
i had the reference 290. it was extremely loud, ran hot, consumed a shit ton of power and Catalyst control center is the worst piece of software i have ever used.
the 980ti sacrifices some efficiency for raw power.
