NVIDIA has really got their drivers game together, it would be impossible for the current team to fuck up as much as their old twenty Asians in a room.
I'm certain they're going to pull someform of a 3.5 again. If ti's going to have 'Dedicated space,'that only lets you use 7 of the 8 or if it'll pull a 390x and fuck up the encoding so only brand new games realize you have 8gbs and not 4.
>>336801916
>pcuck is so fucking mad they just post xD because they couldnt disprove me
>>336802363
Nvidia drivers are still shit lately, especially on Windows 10. Gimping old cards, compatability issues with older games, etc.
>>336801258
The best thing about this announcement, is knowing that 970 to 980ti cucks will finally start getting their shit gimped beyond belief so much that they'll be forced to shell out another 600$ or play new games at 1024x800 with 20 FPS.
Nvidiots always never saw it coming, despite it happening twice already. Maybe they'll learn one day, but probably not. Nvidia's marketing team is top tier, gotta give it to them.

NVIDIA drivers are still not as bad as they used to be, I don't know what their current state is because after 3.5 I switched to AMD, but in the mid 00's it was nothing but constant shit updates that couldn't run anything and left you with a flammable brick that refused to play anything over low.

Wait for AMD to unveil the first Polaris chips. 1070 and 1080 are supposed to be highend enthusiast shit, while the first Polaris chips will be the 470 and 480, mid-end stuff. Apparently the 480 should have performance close to the 390, while being a much smaller and more efficient chip than both the 1070 and 1080. Reveal should be in a few weeks, at Computex apparently. There's no reason not to wait at this point.

FPS Percentage difference. And yes, difference compared to launch vs 1.3 patch.
Not only that, there's loads of reports of people running games like shit on the latest patches (using 700 series) that downgrade to older patches and get upwards of 30-40% FPS increases in newer games. Go figure.
>>336802952

then why hasn't anyone posted any tangible evidence?

Why do people think that updating their drivers is magically a good thing because they're "new"? Do they not realize they can download old or simply not update their drivers if they want to retain performance?

The guy who did that did the first benchmark with the drivers available at launch time, and then with drivers available at 1.3 time.
Not only that, but the game patches added performance fixes to the game, therefore, it makes no sense that Nvidia would drop in performance. In comparison, all AMD cards got huge gains from these, and AMD didn't even launch drivers for the game IIRC.
>>336803251
>>336803293
Keep ignoring it then, no one's stopping you.
Buy the new 1080 too, while we're at it. In a year or so, when the new cards get released and the 1080 starts getting gimped too, you'll feel what 970 and 980 users are about to feel too.

thats a multivariable test then, he didn't hold every other factor constant
he should have used both drivers then and now with the patch.
This is only indicitive of the patch for the game being garbage for Nvidia GPU's and theres no evidence that the driver caused it.
AMD didn't release a driver in the time between launch and 1.3 despite getting huge gains, this obviously isn't attributed to drivers since they're using the same driver regardless which means his nvidia experiement can't be attributed to drivers either

>>336803449
Yea, you keep moving the goal posts kid. AMD gets huge gains with the same drivers, that's just because they were favored by the dev of a GameWorks title, Nvidia getting gimped is the dev's fault too, of course, releasing broken patches.
You don't want to see the truth, that's fine, but stop posting any time now.

Didn't know Fallout 4 had gameworks in it but regardless what does this have to do with drivers gimping cards? He should have had a graph showing the 1.3 patch comparing old and new drivers, but thats not what the graph illustrates at all.
>>336802869
The real question you should be asking yourself is: at what resolution do I want to play my games?

Actually, both the 1070 and 1080 are $50 higher than the 970 and 980 were at their own launch, pretty shitty of them.
Unless the 1070 has performance that justifies the price, new PC builds this year should be looking at 390X or 980's pricedrops IMO, which currently hit a really nice sweet spot being able to max all forseeable AAA vidya at 1080/1440. Nvidia is ricing the shit out of their new cards with 10gb of memory but its a waste of everyone's time since it won't actually run 4k games at 60fps.
>>336803793
>google kepler gimping
literally nothing but fringe click bait articles, none of which haven't any comparisons of before and after patches proving with correlation that updating drivers gimps cards. Every article is just "Is Nvidia Gimping their Old cards?" or "Why is my 780 performing like shit in new games?" despite them having little to do with the actual drivers
You have a better chance at making the argument that Gameworks in games is gimping Nvidia cards. No where can I find a single lick of objective evidence making direct side by side comparisons of old drivers vs new drivers

The titan was always a scam
back when the titan first came out the 690 also came out.
the 690 was like 100 dollars less than a titan (690 was 1000 dollars, titan was 1100+) and the 690 just out performed the titan in every spot purely because it was two fucking 680's on a single PCB

Nothing's stopping you, you just have to be dumb enough.
>>336804273
These are all relative performance graphs comparing two generations
its first comparing 700 series to 600 then 700 series to 900
This still isn't old drivers vs new drivers. Its also trying to compare it to AMD GPU's which also have their own driver updates that obviously skew the performance results because this is a dumb "relative performance" chart instetad of actual performance in a game with a raw metric like FPS or usage load or anything else.
This is apples and oranges when compared to AMD
Literally show me the proof that new Nvidia drivers make old kepler cards perform worse
Compare a 770 on a series of drivers from then up to now with new drivers or what ever, simple metrics and simple results thats literally it.

PC goes through iterations too, they just mask it well. Every now and then we'll get a jump in tech that requires more power under the hood. Between those jumps you are just catching up with little gains.
So right now going for a spanking new card is expensive for miniscule gains unless you really want VR. There is no fancy new toys to turn on in games to justify a card like that over one half the price (or less). I always wait until that point to upgrade. Makes my rig last a lot longer between.

Probably. I have a 760 and it seems like almost anything would be an upgrade.
I'd honestly wait on reviews from both nvidia and AMD see what's a better deal. I'll probably stick with Nvidia since i like a lot of their features.
But AMD has always been a more economical choice.
Are these new cards from AMD and NVIDIA require a new mobo or something? I might aswell wait for the 390/970 to lower in price. I always play game on low except for maybe textures. I'm also going to wait for that PS4K and see what happens.
>>336807394
But will it run Ridge Racer?
I just want 1070 benches.
If it's within 95% performance of the 980 TI I'll get it.
>>336807226
We won't see the full Pascal until after Vega comes out and yeah that will probably be in about 8 months.
>>336807394
>GDDR is far better atm and will be for the foreseeable future
The literal only advantage of GDDR5(X) compared to HBM2 is the price and the fact that HBM2 isn't ready yet
HBM2 is expensive as fuck but come at a low as fuck electricity use and very small space usage
Both of these are disgustingly bad when you go with GDDR5X which eats a ton of electricity and space when you go full out
>>336807407
Dark souls 3 ran fantastic on a range of hardware for a AAA game.
Why all you faggots with toasters resort to unfounded claims about being unoptimised.
Dunno if I'll wait for the 1080ti. My 980ti runs so hot it's going to burn out before that thing releases. The 1080 runs way cooler; and runs a little better. Might be good for my mATX case.
whens the new AMD cards coming out?
>>336807662
980 4670k 850 pro
>>336807637
yeah and it works and exists right now
the tradeoff is worth it when you can get 8gb for cheap and HBM can't compete on price or capacity
>>336803414
That pic is hilarious.
>relative gaming performance, from 1 to 5
ok niggers. i still have 6870 + Phenom II X4 965. rolling with it since like 2009.
question is. should i go for budget build of r9 390 + i5 6600k now. or will the prices drop soon?
>>336807619
Good.
>>336807662
>works for me :)
>>336807662
Because it runs worse than Witcher 3 while looking worse. It's completely unoptimized.
>>336807386
no way i waited like a year to save my money for this card and am going to used it. my old card was a GT 560 card, nah am going to used my new 980 finally to play dark souls 3 on pc. but it pisses me the fuck off that once i finally get something a fucking newer version pops out of fucking nowhere. every fucking time
>>336807662
it ran well on nvidia cards. ran like trash on amd cards even though amdrones still go on about consoles helping their graphics cards.
Is there any difference in performance from a founders edition and a regular edition card?
>>336807619
>that webm
>>336807958
I don't know, maybe it's a factory watercooled version.
>>336807958
Probably just a shiny metal cooling case you won't see because it's in your computer and some nifty little things from nvidia like a felt carrying bag with their logo on it for whatever reason.
I'm ready to build another computer but I really don't want to play anything until GOTY Deus Ex comes our in August. Should I wait till that month to build it or is there no point?
>>336807882
>>336807662
I can run Dark Souls II at 60 FPS with everything on max, but 3 is literally unplayable (as in, I get 0 fucking frames everytime I move the camera) at 800x600 with everything on low
>>336807157
Do you live under a rock? Nvidia has been saying there is going to be an announcement for the past few weeks.
Plus the leaked cases for the 1070 & 1080 should of been a dead giveaway to save your money.
>>336802675
They had to recently recall a driver that was bricking the cards. What does it in for me is that they release drivers to gimp their older cards so you'll be more likely to upgrade. That and they pay cash to get games optimized for their cards instead of letting their cards actually shine for the quality they are. I just can't in good faith do business with them after all of the shit they've pulled.
play station 3 will retail for 599USD
>>336801258
Should I return my 980ti and get the 1080?
>>336807878
Are you mentally disabled? Of course better cards are going to come out.
Why hasn't AMD released any info about their new cards? Price, release date, fucking name? Have they just given up?
>>336807057
1070 and 1080 are more powerful than a Titan X if the specs are anything to go by.
>>336808094
THAT'S BECAUSE DS2 WAS AN XBOX 360 PORT AND DS3 IS A PS4 PORT
WOW FUCKING WEIRD RIGHT?
>>336804860
>7xx is still getting sold
Where? It's not even produced anymore.
You literally have to buy them used.
Once the 1xxx series hits the 980ti will drop down to $300 or something.
>>336808094
That's because DS2 has awful gutted lighting, it looks orders of magnitude worse than what they showed for e3. It only ran well for you because it was designed to look like shit.
>>336808609
>Once the 1xxx series hits the 980ti will drop down to $300 or something.
This never happens. Prices stay high to gouge SLI users.
>>336807157
>1 year ago
>nvidia start hinting about their next line of GPUs
I'd understand if you bought it one year ago but now? Do people not fucking do research before buying shit for $7-800?
>>336808758
>shitposting this hard.
When a new card line hits the old one drops in price.
It has happened with every single card.
>>336808873
[citation needed]
>>336807407
>ds3
>unoptimized
Maybe if you have a fucking toaster rig.
>mfw the price of top of the line 900 series dropz
perfect time to upgrade from my 760
>>336808529
>>336808629
Of course 3 will run worse, but the graphics are not good enough to justify such a huge drop in perfomance
What's the cheapest GPU i can get for a smooth 60fps in 1080p ?
>>336808965
Are you retarded?
>>336808873
Yes, but not by fucking half, especially a flagship card like the 980ti.
It will probably drop to 450 at the lowest, and then just get phased out, used ones will probably be $300
>>336808507
It's polaris, no release date but some info leaked.
furyx successor is going to have like 16 gb of HBM2 and R9 490x is going to have like 8gb gddr5 if this leaked info is correct.
>>336809008
for what game retard?
>>336808507
Because they're targeting the low-end and mid-range audience with the Polaris and have nothing to put up against the 1070 and the 1080 until Vega drops in very late 2016/early 2017. With the hype shitstorm in full effect over Nvidia's new high-end flagship cards, there's absolutely no way AMD could steal any of their thunder with a mainstream offering. It could be a fucking incredible card with amazing bang for your back, no high-end = no hype. Thus, they're content to take their time.
Maybe, just maybe, the better Polaris 10 (possible 480X) could reach within a kicking distance of the 1070 in some games (AMD backed, AMD-biased DX12/Vulkan titles), but with the leaked CU counts and the die size, it's probably not even intended to compete.
>>336801258
>giving my old card to a buddy
>was planning on upgrading to a 980ti
>now this
ho
lee
shit
>>336801258
My gtx 980 is sufficient for now. Is this card mainly for vr?
>>336809331
And 4k, that's why I'm upgrading.
is the ATI series cards also coming out this summer?
>>336809405
>>336809331
it will do VR but not 4k.
>>336809008
A 970 should cover most recent games. Maybe wait for the 1070 though.
>>336809209
I imagine Polaris will be pegged to console performance, which might mean very good performance at a very low cost, even if they can't directly compete with Nvidia's $400+ enthuiast cards (which is basically the only thing Nvidia made these days).
If 1070 is somewhat faster than a 980ti, it would be smart to sell my current 970 and upgrade ye? Or even to 1080
>>336807694
Polaris are due out this summer, likely before any of the Nvidia cards are actually available. However they're mid-range cards with Polaris 11 seemingly aimed at the 950 and Polaris 10 as the replacement for the 390 / 970, there have been suggestions it would deliver 980 level performance but I'm not sure I trust those.
Vega, AMD's new high end cards aren't due till the end of the year or even early next year and when they arrive you know Nvidia will drop an even higher performance version.
>>336809147
Probably lower than 450. But yeah, $300 is stretching it.
>>336809069
Using camelcamelcamel, prices for the GTX 780 dropped from about $650 to $550 when the 980 was announced, with rare sales around $400 after that.

>/v/ is so retarded they respond to bait every time
Yiu are why this board is shit
>>336809504
I figured so. Vr isn't to that point were it excites me but the card seems good for allowing devs to get to that point.
>>336809008
I'd buy a second-hand 970 once people start upgrading to the 1070 or wait for Polaris.
Then again, I kind of expect 970s to start becoming useless sooner rather than later given they're short of VRAM, while the consoles have fucking 8gb. The VRAM issue is why "bad" console ports have started appearing.
>assemble new pc without GPU
>400W power
will it be enough for 1080?
How much will the 970 and 980 drop in price?
>>336801258
Jesus, What relative Intel CPU would you need to not bottle-neck this type of card anyways. Ppl would be buying this shit and not really be able to properly utilize it.
>>336801258
You do know that this will make older cards like the 980 ti drop right? If anything that's good.
I mean, is not as if every time a new card comes out all other cards become trash. Old cards drop prices and are still pretty good. 980 was a monster like what? half a year ago?
>>336809773
They won't. They're going to stop manufacturing them and Nvidia policy is to push up card prices.
>>336809569
That might be overkill man, I'm running a 980Ti and get 60FPS on Ultra on literally anything I want to play. I think these high-end cards are for the 4K market, but I'd wait a couple more years til 4K is the standard.
I'll do a 1080 and walk away
>>336809504
It's still a big improvement for non-VR stuff, but I'll wait for actual bench instead of nvidia's slides.
>>336809761
unless you have an i3 and low voltage ram, enjoy your brownouts
>>336806278
No my man, if you want a fucking rendering machine you go for Quadro series.
Titan is just "razer" of VGAs.
>>336801641
Have people here become so sensitive that even obvious jokes are bait now?
>>336809761
kek who the fuck has a 400w power supply in 2016? did you get it free in a packet of shreddies?
>>336802446
When retards actually think AMD has better drivers than Nvidia
>>336809761
>buying a 400W PSU
Why? A decent 650W would set you back by 80 bucks or something.
>>336809881
kek
I wouldn't have any problems with my 3820k if I got the 1070 right? I already have good enough ram and psu otherwise.
>$599 for the gimped no-HBM2 cards
wew
>>336809779
Next-gen APIs of the sort that you'll need to get full speed performance out of one of these cards are less dependent on single thread performance and bottleneck more based on how many threads your CPU has to throw at draw calls.
So i5s which are restricted to 4 threads will bottleneck. You'll want at least a 8 thread CPU like an i7. AMD have already said that they won't sell a Zen CPU that is only 4 cores / 8 threads so don't be surprised if in a few years 8 core / 16 thread is the standard expected for gaming.
