>>339372079
the msi 980ti was the worst of the three
Wait for Polaris.
>>339372347
This. The 1080 is good as will the 1070 be surely but why fuck yourself over when you won't have too long to make a comparison? A month or two at most?

>>339372007
Good goy
>>339372007
ASUSSSSSSS FOR LIFEEEE :D
>>339372007
I think Gigabyte GTX970 is the best and most balanced out of the three, so I'll go with them again in 3 years or so when I feel the need for upgrade.

Some of us live among hyenas that will devour our riches if we don't spend away, waiting is not an option.
>>339376745
with their new cards nvidia is in a position to ask for hilarious prices atm since AMD cant/wont/doesnt want to compete right now
great cards but their price policy is honestly cheeky
>>339376745
>Some of us live among hyenas that will devour our riches if we don't spend away, waiting is not an option
Where the fuck do you live? China?
Any of you guys know how much previous generation cards usually drop by?
I'm willing to pay for a 970, but I want the 980 or the 980 TI. Will either of those drop closer to the 970 in terms of price?Yea I'm new to pc upgrading and all that
>>339377084
Iunno man, can't afford 1080, 1070 will take some time to come out yet. I could also get a msi 980 for the same asking price.
>>339377259
No, with my family.
>>339377567
Also, I can pick an adittional gtx 780 and go sli, but sounds stupid even to me.

Yeah, they should drop by a considerable amount, I would expect it to fall to at least 500.

Whatever you can find on sale you dunce. It almost never matters unless the warranties are different or it comes factory overclocked if you care about that kind of thing.
>nvidigoys
kek pity you desu
>>339380917
I don't think about you at all
>>339372007
Cheapest one, if you wait a little more chepeast oc-ed one then lower the factory oc to stanrdard oc - boom you have temperatures better than imagined, and longevity.
The chip is made by nvidia and it's the same on every single card, be it a shitty brand still has the same graphic chip inside..
>>339380709
Except the wait here is tiny.
I'm no AMDfag but you're being childish.

Can someone explain why this isn't fucking stupid? Why would you ever buy the lowest tier? Why not just have one card for every series? Why create shittier ones so you can save like twenty buckaroos?
>>339381846
because you can actually save hundreds of buckeroos buckeroos

The real question is, when the one with smaller form factor comes out? I need it for my small neat steambox.
Gigabyte is shit for overclock.
Asus is loud as fuck.
MSI tends to have the most competent heatsink builds, and good overclock potential, though not the best. It also tends to be quieter, but wait for reviews.
>>339377374
I wouldn't get the 970 now, either get the 980TI or wait until it's more affordable, but getting a 970 NOW sounds like a dumb idea.
>"Wow $599 for a 1080 thats an amazing price!"

If you're a fucking retard to who just buys the most expensive hardware because "highest price means best hardware".
Anyone buying multiple 1080s for SLI is a fucking moron.
>>339372007
evga every time retard. cmon now
>>339383125

EVGA has been pumping out shit since the 700 series.
>>339383012
why is this? its not like we are brazil or some 3rd world slav country why do they put the prices up so much
1080 vs 980 ti ~ 15% better
1070 vs 980 ti ~ 10% worse
>people spending $700 for barely faster 980ti
>
>>339383238
I have no idea, taxes?
The 1070 is probably going to be £400 too. I was gonna import but then customs would fuck us. Some of the cards are bordering £590-600 at their cheapest. It's insane.
>>339383238
>>339383012
Its called VAT you fucking retard. Learn your own country's import tax. These are usually around 15-30% depending on European countries.
Brazil niggers have it much higher like 100% or so on some shits
>>339382878
What the fuck, duck? I like having small cube instead of huge tower. I don't need 10 HDDs, it's all packed neatly and the whole box is full of ventilation holes.
Only downside is that I can't have videocards longer than 210 mm.
>>339379715
not the same anon but what are you talking about famalamadingdong, he said "bought 970 for $300, 1070 is $70 more".
interpreting that as the 1070 is $370 completely understandable
>mfw I bought a 980 about 3 months ago
>>339383238
Are you retarded?
For third world shitholes they take the price down so that they can actually make sales.
>>339383254
1080 OC hasn't been tested yet as all the sample cards nvidia handed out are locked. That's also the "founder's edition" which is nvidia's new way to say "reference card".
>>339383254
1080 can do 4k at >60fps but also when the custom PCB version come out you'll see some huge OC since right now the only reason we can't OC more is because the VRMs are at their limit. Then we'll also have cleaner power through 2-8pin. We'll see some high, safe ocs and some nasty framerates.
>>339383437
The 1080 OC is right on the line, the mythical 2.1Ghz is something that no reviewers are seeing right now.
>>339372007
AMD all the way baby
nvidia are the evil jews
I'm 6 generations behind now. Is there any reason for me to replace my graphic card when I only play old games anyway?
When's the standard (non-fouinders) one coming out?
I can't find a solid answer for the 1080 or the 1070.
>>339383639
>AMD
>can't even live up to their gimmicks (DX12 and 4k resolution, we swear we do it better)
>causes house fires
How about instead of buying budget gpu garbage, you get a card with some value.
>>339383715
Why would you ask a question you already know the answer to? I'm not sure who it could bait.
>>339383731
Later in June. It was a paper launch after all.
The 1070 might be even later in June or July.
>>339383731
It's the same answer you'll get for a 970 vs a 980(ti).
The higher end cards are a better value, but more expensive.
>>339383749
>nvidia
>value
the jokes write themselves
Really not wise to get a 1080 now
AMD Vega could be out by October, forcing Nvidia to release the 1080 Ti early & price cut the 1080
Plus 1080 is only really good at super high clocks, so wait for the liquid cooled variants which are coming soon, 2.5ghz 1080 would be quite nice
>>339375778
Then why the fuck did you come post in this thread?
>>339383802
I'm wondering if there is something I might be missing. I doubt it but who knows?
AMD has consistently worse drivers than nvidia, brand loyalty for AMD makes absolutely no sense.
Why does everyone shit on EVGA that I talk to? Is it just because they happened to buy a different brand and they needed to one up me?
Every time I talk to anyone else with a 970 on TeamSpeak or Steam and I tell them it's EVGA they're just like "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmya shoulda got a [whatever exact brand they have] because [some retarded problem that has never happened to me despite owning the GPU for months and having owned an EVGA prior]"
This happened with someone who owned an MSI, and another who owned an ASUS. I bet if they talked to each other, the same exchange would happen.
Like, nigga, stop nitpicking about your almost identical hardware with a different cooler attached.
>>339383906
>wait
>wait
>wait
>>339381846
Who actually buys the most expensive?
Mid line ones always can max every game, and often $200+ cheaper
>>339383369
>spending hundreds of dollars without proper research
bought the evga 1080 founders, depending on how hot it runs in my build, I may use the step up program in the future.
>>339383906
I doubt it will hit 2.5 at all. The problem people are seeing with custom 1080 are voltage limitation rather than thermal limitation(which was the case with Founders Edition).
I doubt we'll see 2.1 or 2.2 Ghz max.
>>339383887
>runs cooler
>runs quieter
>overall superior gpus to AMD "competitor cards"
They cost more for a reason. That reason is that they're not complete garbage sold to retards at a "value price".
Everything AMD makes is trash.
>>339383906
WAIT! WAIT! DON'T BUY ALWAYS WAIT!
>not getting pny
How expensive is it for a company to invest in graphics hardware research? This industry is in dire need of competition.
>>339384037
Their gpu builds suck. They're noisy and hot, and they don't make up for it with OC potential.
Back in the 600 series, they were the best, but they have not kept up.
>>339383558
People got to 2.1 but they had to pull power out of the memory.
>>339384110
Are you okay?
>>339383906
>AMD Vega could be out by October, forcing Nvidia to release the 1080 Ti early & price cut the 1080
Only if it is out by October, and only if it's competitive enough for them to release early and drop the price significantly.
>Still not really 4k ready
What's the point?
The 980ti can max every game except Ark at like 100+fps, and likely will for years to come.
The 1080 still drops below 60fps on most modern games in 4k.
Its a card that doesn't need to exist. Just give it a few years for a card that can really do 4k before you go past a 980ti
>>339384181
you don't have enough money.
theres enough competition.
i don't want to deal even more drivers
>>339384076
I fell for the 970 meme.
>don't buy the 970 goy, it only has 3.5 gb ram, better buy the much better 980 goy, its cheap and has full 4 gb ram!

>>339384218

You don't buy a 980, you stupid fuck. You buy the 980ti.
>>339380673
This
>>339384218
>They're noisy and hot
Not the 760 and 970. I can't hear it at all most of the time, and hear a tiny faint noise when it's the middle of summer in Florida (right now) with my faster custom fan speed.
Now my 9600 GSO, that was a fucking airplane, but that was an old blower in a poorly cooled prebuilt that was blanked in dust constantly.
>>339384346
They run hot.
The fans get loud as fuck.
They're notorious for coil whine.
They don't have better OC than other builds.
>>339383927
because 9XX fags will know that beyond the 12gb of vram, they are almost the same, even better because they are non reference.
And im seing 970 fags seeing arranged charts to show that the card is twice as fast, wich is not plain thruth, there is a driver play here too.
No one replied, not even baits, so i kept the thread rolling.
Still, this new cards just rise the celling a little more, 40% in non reference ocd cards at most in real conditions, its not that impresive.
Still.. people will buy reference 10xx despite the fact they power trottle alot.
>>339384264
It wasn't a meme, it was a legitimate issue.
It was an issue with the first release.
can we expect the 980ti to outperform the 1070? should i get a 980ti now or wait to get the 1080/1070. budget PC anon here

>They're notorious for coil whine.
It's funny when I first heard this, I had to Google what it even means because I was trying to see if I could ever figure out what the hell it even is I'm supposed to pretend I can hear.
Now I'm not gonna be a total faggot here, if these are common EVGA problems, I'm not ruling it out. But it certainly isn't for every single one, as I've owned a 760 and a 970 as mentioned above.
>>339384553
1070 is on par with Titan X
So uh...is there actually a reason to get a 1080?
Upcoming game-wise, I mean.
>>339384713
Depends on your display.
>>339381846
Because not everyone can afford to buy the best hardware. And the 70-50 of the series are cheaper, better and more power-efficient versions of 80 of an older series. For example, you can buy the huge, bulky and power hungry 280, or you can instead get a 650 that has basically the same performance (don't quote me on that, I don't know the details), but is built with new technology, allowing it to be much smaller and power efficient.
>>339384553
with new driver updates, the 1070 will outperform the 980ti.
the 1070 already outperforms the 980ti on a lot of games.

With how much time is put into optimization these days, it will let you play upcoming games at 1080p 60 FPS and max settings.
>>339384713
only for VR or 4k
>>339372347
And then wait 3 to 6 months after a game launches for a patch or new drivers that makes it playable while you blame everyone but AMD

OK...
I get 300fps in minecraft so I should run out and buy a 120hz monitor.

First, no you can't. 1440p at best. I have a 970 and MGS5 and Alien Isolation.
Second, those are literally the best running games ever created in the history of gaming. I doubt most games will get that much attention to optimization.
>>339385409
so 1440p or ultrawide?

Whats the point? With textures as low res as they are, you get nothing from increasing the resolution, except not needing as high anti aliasing, but youre already pumping out so much power its redundant

>>339385757
Downscaling really sucks. It just fucks too much of the UI up. I gave up even trying any more.
Would be nice if developers would always have a resolution scale slider, then we get the benefits without bothering the UI.
>>339385304
No u.I'd like to smear Vegemite all over your candy ass and lick it all off and then tongue kiss you until your dick gets rock hard, then I'd go down on you really good until you cum in my mouth...you turned me on, fuck you...
>>339385856
Why should I buy MSI instead of EVGA?
>>339385702
seriously, go look at prices for 700 series cards. literally two generations behind and 780ti still sells for the price of a 1070
>>339385757
That's what happens when you downscale dude. Most games don't have scalable UI.
>>339385625
Medium to distant details clarity. You will understand when you try it. But if you don't have 20/20 vision you're SOL
>>339386031
Too haram, sorry.
>>339381409
No this is ALWAYS the case.
When the 980ti it was "wait for the Fury X, it will beat the ti and cost less". Fury X came out, had to have a watercooler because it was the only way they could get the power close to that of the 980ti without it igniting. It ended up being the same price, and over all it barely beat out the 970.

>>339386445
Only if the card lacks onboard prophet detection and censorship capabilities.

Do you get all your news from /v/ and /g/?
Should a r9 280x run witcher 3 max settings at 60 fps steady?
Cause it doesn't for me.
>>339386059
nvidia knows that if they price drop their old card, it will kill the sales of their newest cards.
Also worth consideration, nvidia stops manufacturing their old cards once they get a couple generations ahead. So the prices of old cards skyrockets as retailers attempt to brutally dry fuck people who need the older cards for SLI.

Would a 1070 allow me to do high/ultra settings at 60 at that resolution? Or should I just go 1080?
>>339386635
>144fps
You don't need 144fps to use a 144hz monitor, dofus.
also reminder that the GTX 1080 is just a 1/3 (20SM) of the full Pascal chipset (60SM).
>>339386912
Which also makes it good for resale since I'll be able to sell my 980ti and get back 75% of the money I paid and just get a 1080ti.
>>339387001

That is $512 for the same fucking product, because the fucking jews in the EU need to tax US products to strengthen the EU market. And yes, they assume there is a EU manufacturer for PC hardware that can compete with the US.

980, 980ti (Can also use Hairworks), 1070, 1080. I'm assuming 1070 and 1080 will also be able to use Hairworks without killing the FPS. It's gotten a little better, but is still a hit to performance.

O I am laffin
Remember how great the 780 Ti was when it came out? I remember it being the "god" card for a while like the 980 Ti was this past gen. With the latest drivers for both cards, the 290x beats it or matches it in almost every benchmark, be it 3DMark or actual in-game performance when it was the exact opposite by a fair margin when both cards first released. The 290x even launched before the 780 Ti. At launch, the 780 Ti scored 4906 in Firestrike Extreme and with the latest drivers it now pulls 4774. The 290x at launch managed 4676 and it now scores 5061 (!!!). I bet a year or two from now you'll see the 390x outperforming the 980 Ti, how the fuck can anyone deny that Nvidia is shitting all over older cards with every single WHQL release they put out just so they can sell more new cards?
Pic related, benches done recently with the latest drivers from both vendors. The story was different when these cards first launched but now the 3xx series cards are sweeping the 9xx cards at every price point except for the very high end which is a tiny percentage of the market anyways. Notice the 390 handily beating the 970 even though it only traded blows with it or was beaten by it when it first launched.
AMD cards age like fine wine, Nvidia cards like milk. I'll be laughing at the Nvidiots when Mankind Divided comes out and AMD crushes everything pre-Pascal.
Nvidia is a meme, people buy their shitty hardware for the same reason they buy Macbooks and Beats headphones.
What the fuck. I'm in the market for a new GPU and have money to spend, but I don't know what I should even go for because there's always "XX IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER WHICH RESULT IN YY."

The problem with buying anything computer related is that something is "always around the corner". Why get the 1080 when the 1080ti is out in a few months. Before that was why get the 980ti when a whole new chipset is going to drop in 6 months.

>>339391604
I have the VIVE too, it is inferior. The controllers are neat but the Touch controllers for Oculus are superior and with the second Oculus sensor roomscale is greater
I HATE the wire harness on my Vive, it is so fucking annoying, and the whole setup isn't as comfy as Oculus and the lenses aren't as good at hiding the screendooring
I guess if you NEED a complete experience now (when there are no games for either) then the Vive is currently more complete, but it is overall an inferior product.

They are both extremely good and totally suck you into the games after about 5-10 minutes in a game. The only part that "isn't here" is the part where we lack a breadth of games faggot.
It is incredible (especially the oculus which is so comfy you forget you're wearing it). The 3D is beyond flawless and I'm glad we finally have a device that makes 3D useful & adds something to a game rather than a gimmick. The addition of real depth and the perfect 1:1 head tracking really make it great. I'd go so far as to say the headtracking is so accurate it can replace your mouse for aiming in a competitive shooter.

I don't really understand this. Nvidia is a publicly traded company. So they made this new gpu gtx 1080. But if you buy the gpu then it's made by gigabyte, asus or msi as OP said. So what the fuck exactly does nvidia do?
Yeah I'm a normalfag that just updates his gpu every 3 years. Own 970 at the moment
>>339393960
Nvidia designs the reference PCB which board manufacturers reverse engineer. Nvidia designs the GPU (the actual chip on the board) and the instruction set, prints them, and then licenses out the right to print and modify the reference designs to certified manufacturers like MSI/Gigabyte/EVGA/etc
>>339393960
They engineer and make their own reference GPUs and then sell manufacturer licenses to other companies
>>339394104
That's all they fucking do? Sounds like their profits would be fucking minimal but of course I don't know shit.

>>339372007
When the fuck can we buy the non-reference cards?
>>339394265

Reference design comes straight from Nvidia, from PCB to fan to shroud to power delivery to video output ports, it's the way Nvidia put everything together, and partner board companies can choose to go with it for their cards.
Reference designs tend to use blower-style coolers, which eject hot air out of the case so it doesn't heat up your other components, but since it uses only a single fan, it doesn't keep the GPU as cool or quiet as an open-air design, which sends hot air back into the case, but can use multiple large fans to keep the card much cooler at lower noise levels and provide much better overclocking headroom for temperature reasons. It's not hard to deal with the hot air in a case with proper airflow anyhow, so blower designs are really only good in SFF cases.
Partner boards can also have different PCB layouts or bigger PCBs, better power delivery for more stability during overclocking, heatsinks that are larger than the PCB to allow for more/bigger fans, and different display output options in the back.
In general, reference designs, particularly the coolers, have proven to be shit for high-end GPUs like the 290x and 980ti, barely adequate for midrange cards, and just a bad option in general when partner designs exist with better components, factory overclocks, much better coolers, and way more overclocking headroom, often for the same price or not much more.

But... muh teraflops...
>>339397940
Reference PCB with custom coolers and factory OC on launch day, same as the 1080
>>339397191
>In general, reference designs, particularly the coolers, have proven to be shit for high-end GPUs like the 290x and 980ti, barely adequate for midrange cards, and just a bad option in general when partner designs exist with better components, factory overclocks, much better coolers, and way more overclocking headroom, often for the same price or not much more.
just an outright lie and i've been buying high end video cards since 1996
also the new 1000 series uses a vapor change cooler reference design. dumbass.
>>339397962
Nvidya owns the market. You're fucked no mater what but if you just avoid AMD you at least get some lube. Why suffer for you /g/ values?
>>339398232
So reference fans are good?
Feels bad man
>all this tech porn
>I'm still stuck with a gt 330
>>339398362
no. they're pretty much always adequate though. in a lot of generations, third party coolers are based on the reference cooler design, so that guy doesnt even know what hes talking about.
>>339384260
because 1440p you goob

>playing with a bargain card from 2009
I feel like a need to hold you and tell you everything will be okay.
>>339398232
And everyone who's done a review of Nvidia's overpriced reference 1080 has noticed thermal throttling and high temperatures. Dumbass.
Always wait for open-air AIB cards. Always.
>>339386163
sounds like you'd need a ridiculously high viewing angle to actually see the difference
I have 1680x1050 and I can barely see the pixels when right in front of it
I still want a 1440p for shooting games like arma where dudes are hundreds of meters away
>>339398427
why are dogs so smart, its like they always know
>>339372007
tfw no evga blower styled 1080 :(
>>339385625
Because you get a 34inch+ monitor and the image fits it well, ever try getting close to your 1080p TV when playing a game on it? Looks like fucking shit
>>339372007
fuck off to /g/ pcucks, this is a VIDEOGAMES board
>>339398897
>I have 1680x1050 and I can barely see the pixels
do you have a tiny screen or are you blind?
>>339398897
arma would be AMAZING on a 4k monitor but damn if you wouldn't need some NASA tier juice to run it
>>339388768
I want to buy that exact monitor. The reviews are really good and it's 144 hz.
my current monitor is from 2008
I'd get 4k but the IPS ones are even more expensive and only 60 Hz which is pretty lame
>>339398606
I mentioned partner companies having the option to stick with Nvidia's reference designs, or change them up as they see fit, chimpdick. And guess what? AIB designs that use blowers tend to not be as good or quiet as the ones that use multi-fan open-air designs, even from the same company. They mostly do that nowadays to make a cheaper blower card than the ones that use Nvidia's metal shroud anyhow, not to make their best cards.
>ultrawide
lmao is this for asians?
humans see in 4:3. 16:9 is already widescreen you retards. If it's not wide enough, get a bigger screen or sit closer to it.
>>339388768
why are some of you spergs so mad at ultrawide displays, 3440x1440 is fucking glorious for racing games and beats multiple display setups ANY DAY
and you go on about your multiple monitors later in the thread so no excuses, you fucking retard
>>339399151
22" and 20/20 last time I checked
I put the smallest size afterburner overlay and it's individual pixels and it's tough to even read it
I'd say 32" minimum for 4k but they are very expensive
>>339399980
Isn't 32'' a perfect fit for 4k?
Should i upgrade or wait for the 1080ti?

To be fair my PC is from 2009-2010. The processor seems decent (I5 quad core 3.2 ghz) and upgrading the ram is cheap anyway. I just can't wait to get my hands on some decent money and finnaly play some vidya post 2010
>>339398942maybe the dog was the one that cucked him?
>>339400530
yeah but most I saw were 27"
4k 32" is right up against the limits of human vision even if you're a couple feet from the screen with like 60 degree field of view
I doubt I would really make use of that since my vision isn't great and the screen gets further away towards the edges
gonna get a 27" 1440 for myself desu

desu electronics cost way more in turkey compared to eu. but what i do is this, i order my gpus from usa amazon. it takes about 15 days for it to reach me but costs about 10-15% less (slightly higher than american amounts). amazon also takes care of all the tax etc.
also amazon rates between try/usd is a bit shit so i just pay it in dollaridos directly.
>>339401820
Your CPU unless heavily overclocked will possibly bottleneck a super high end gpu. As in if you get a gtx 1080, you'd need to be pushing at least 4.8ghz on the CPU and even then it might still bottleneck on a couple heavy game.
>>339402590
Thanks, solved the issue.
>>339400908

Hey guys I have pic related. I can get it 1580mhz boost stable. I can get my money back for it via warranty but is it worth going from this to a 1080?
>>339403047
I am not planning to buy a 1080, for now.
Which GPU do you recommend based on my CPU so it won't bottleneck?
>>339403434
No higher than a gtx 970. But from pure price:performance, consider an r9 390 or 390X if the price is right. Even then I'd recommend minimum of 4.4ghz overclock on your CPU. The 8350 is not an efficient CPU at all.
>>339403407
Look at the benchmarks and decide. No one else can tell you what X amount of money is worth in performance for you.
>>339403407
the 1080 reaches 1200 after all the circus of shitting the fan control and power trottle it has.
I say no. think it again when custom coolers come out, reference are really pure shit.
>you will never live on a gas giant moon inside a nebula
>>339403758
That's pretty sad to read, I wish I had this habit of searching and asking people before buying anything for my PC. The price for a R9 390X is pretty okay, just need to figure out which "brand" is better.
>>339403097
One more pic before I go. Thanks again to the anons that told me about this
>>339383337
Dude, 15% better is around 1/6th.
You pay 1/6th more for a 1080 over a 980ti.
1/6*$600 = $100
$700-$600 = $100

Now man find the best comfy planets and enjoy.
enable orbits and pause to find stuff.
short advices i can give you are:
>most of the cool planets are actually moons of a gas giant or a huge solid planet wich are rarest
check something if you like, i think is the same for everyone.
>go to the aldebaran star
>find the 9th planet
>has lots of ocean planets as moons
there you have a good spot for ocean amosphere places.
you can also play with those little clouds of dust to alter the background, making places like the center of a galaxy more obscure.
and the last one is.
with the screenshot function or with an automated screenshot software (to take screenshots every x amount of seconds)
>sit on favorite planet
>set the timer and the ingame time to make a natural day-night cicle

Best backgrounds ever.

Anything from sapphire is good. The Powercolor PCS+ is also very good. Avoid Asus like the plague. The 390X is only maybe 7% faster than its non X counterpart but usually overclocks better. You could always wait for the gtx 1070 though. That seems to be what most of/g/ is doing. Pic related. Powercolor 390X.
Are these non-reference cards as expensive as founder's edition?
For example what will be the approximate price for a gigabyte, MSI, etc. gtx 1070?
So the 1070 will be best for 1440p? I fucked up and bought a freesync monitor. Not sure if I should crossfire Polaris 10 to utilize the freesync or if I should just buy a 1070
>>339404359
I lied, one more. I know they're shitty but I'm havingfun
>>339405084
The difference of prices between a X and a non X version is pretty close, and the cheapest one is the triple color version of Sapphire.
Anyway, thanks for all this spoonfeeding and infos anon, I appreciate it. Fell hugged.No homo.
>>339405605
just play with the exposition.
That will darken things.
also
>black holes
>>339405729
I meant triple cooler, not color.
>>339405479
That's just it. The founders editions price is inflated to the sky for the early adopters fee. 3rd party cooled models will be the same price if not $50 less.
>>339406342
So 3rd party models will be inbetween the "reference" and the "founder's edition"?
>>339406342
>3rd party cooled models will be the same price if not $50 less.
Looks like the preorders already are.
Canadian Prices in case you're wondering why so expensive.
Asus
>>339406675
Reference and founders are one and the same. Check the reviews of the 1080. The founders models are not binned chips, the cooler is nothing special at all. There have even been reports of throttling issues. Their "founders" edition is literally their reference model with a new different looking shroud. The increased price tag is just their way of getting more money out of you.
guys I've been waiting for 4 years, when I should I finally buy a graphics card?
>>339383523
The ASUS Strix, a 8+6pin card has the same 2.1ghz limit.
Pascal cards have a 1.25volt limit on them for some reason, probably so we don't fry them. But some custom cards come with their own BIOS; the STRIX and the EVGA FTW for example.
>>339407535
Go all out and get a 1080ti, should come out in Nov.
>>339384037
The evga 970 specifically had issues that other 970s did not
>>339407974
I dont think it can be worse than my gainward gtx 970 with the reference cooler.
The noise it generates is unreal
Go with Asus, but wait a while before buying it.
Nothing out or coming out soon that would justify the purchase. Just save your money until they release their mid-range and super charged versions of their high-end cards. The only people that might be desperate to upgrade are the people that have the 600s and older cards.
>>339407535

>>339372007
>not buying EVGA
just got a free upgrade to the 1080.
>>339409093
On early versions, you could find a limit when galaxies stop being generated.
Now i think they keep going, most of the times the game crashes first.
If you start outside a galaxy, and just keep going, i think you will be like that for like 10 minutes untill the game crash.
>>339409356
That only counts for gpus bought in the last 90 days though
shits dumb
>>339409487
yeah that's true but it was great being able to buy a 980 ti three months ago, use it until now, then trade it for a brand new upgrade.

How did they fuck it up, 9xx blowers were pretty good.
Also is there actually any diff between standard 10xx ref and the founder's edition?
>>339409705
Look how the fucking card looks.
Like they had some LOD polycount problem with the design or some retard thought with those angle will deflect shit reviews like the stealth plane.

He somehow plans to make an MMOrpg out of it if he gets enough money.
he is on like 40k now. look at the goals in his site.
I dont know, ruskies has its history with software and scams, but this was going for many years now, and got a ton of updates.
This is one of the oldest pics i have.
It looks good, but like shit compared to how it looks now.
>>339410040
The FE is the reference card. You're paying $100 to buy directly from nvidia instead of picking up something from EVGA/MSI/etc.
They're literally selling the reference card under the pseudonym of "founder's edition" and charging an extra $100 for it.
>>339372007
>Buying into the memecard
>Buying into memecard 2.0
>>339372007
What's the difference?
>>339410462
Oh I thought FE was some one up version.
And IIRC ref is always a bit more expensive then aftermarket, my 980 sure was
>>339409772
I assumed it was always automated, the surprising part was more that they or anyone used assembly lines for this shit.
Now i know why half the shit anyone orders is dead because some gook fucked it up or some nigger or spic threw it around in shipping.

>>339387664
Anyways the most important metric is FPS/$, which the 380x was winning lately until the 1070 benchmarks, but I'm pretty sure Polaris cards are focusing on that
>>339372007
Wait for volta, >2x power and the Price will be om par if not lower than 1080, and by the time it comes out it will be during the next console generation when true 4K gaming is actually viable for developers.
And if you wana stay at 1080p the 1080 will cost 1/3.
>>339411057
Already been tested and confirmed that it doesnt (by third party)
>>339411293
>benchmarks are reference cards are relevant
None of these benchmarks tell the whole story. Even up against a reference card, AMD is left in the dust. Once aftermarket OC hit, it will be an even wider gap.
>>339411397
Tested the 1080 or the 1070?
>>339411603
1080 I don't know, it also has some thermal throttling issues.
1070 is the one that was tested, no new 3.5GB meme unfortunately.

>SLI 970
Sure, if you're fucking stupid.
>>339414853
You should find a way to improve the cooling of your card and push the OC or start to if you didnt.
Push what you have to its limits before spending a coin.
Maybe a few shit fans will leave you room to max out almost everything and wait untill this new gen of cards establish a little more.
>>339415216
I've already OC'd it to the point where I'm comfortable
It runs 99% of games just fine, but I'm thinking ahead for VR
>>339398012
i wouldn't bother. if you're on that CPU your architecture is limited to the point that it would slow down a newer gpu a lot
>>339415327
nah, most of the issues with VR are software related.
that VR ready bullshit is another shill tactic.
optimizations will come with the HMD software, not with the videocard drivers.
Maybe, and i repeat MAYBE. with that shit technology they showed, it could increase the performance, but i dont think it will be that much. the aim is not that high, the display of rift and vive wont reflect the actual render resolution, the HMD wont have to render a 1440p scene x2, it just have to render the half of that, and then past both parts on the screen to each eye.
so, if you have 2 monitors you can test this, open 2 games and test if you can play them at decent fps seting the monitors at a similar resolution (make a custom res if you really want the most acurate results) and see.

>>339417972
release candidate has been out for over 6 months. You need to go to the development status forms and go to the 0.9.7.4 progress thread. I don't know why it isn't official yet since it's no more or less buggy than 0.9.7.2
