I'm getting the RX 480 instead.

It's just 200 dollars, and two of them together is faster than a 1080, and that's without optimisation.

>>340511610
Not in this case. Each graphics card is only utilised at 51% capacity, and yet they still outperform the 1080.

Imagine the performance when they optimise for the games and the cards use 70% of capacity or something.

1070 gtx is truly a GPUOTY. Easily good enough to play current games at maxed 1440p/60 fps. However I wanted to push for 4k and both 1070 and 1080 aren't enough for 4k/60 fps gaming. Not to mention I'd also have to upgrade CPU and MOBO so I feel like waiting till December/Black Friday sales.

You shills still haven't told me who this is for? It cannot do 4k with even mediocre fps and 1440p has far cheaper alternatives. It literally has no use what so ever.

What the fuck are you talking about you fucking moron? Youtubers? How about professional tech review from Anandtech of the 1070.

Are you doing anything to keep that beast from bending inside your case?

The best monitors are 1440p/144hz, so it's not even like it's the best solution for 1440, either. Shit's irrelevant.

i'll pump and feed the 6.8 meme until it gets sour.

it's as real as it gets, just fyi.

cant wait to hear nvidias reason behind falsely marketing it as a 8gb card this time.

it almost resulted in class action lawsuit on the 970.

Their excuse last time was "miscomunication with the PR team"

it will come out this year though, that's why 1070 can't be gpu of the year anon

>>340512616
and by then the 1080ti will be out too
>>
>>340512773
There's nothing else this year worth upgrading for if you've already got 1080p60 handled. The smart people are gonna wait until the 490 and 1080ti are out and make a decision from there.
>>
>>340512473
Same. I'm only going to upgrade my gpu once VR has become mainstream and there are plenty of options to choose from. From there, I'll pick the strongest card needed to run the strongest VR device. I'm going to guess that this will all happen in about 3 years.
>>
>>340512680
Its not really even worth it on 1440p if you have cheaper alternatives that can do DX12.

>>340512832
1080Ti better be able to do 4k right and there better be decent 4k monitors around too or its dead in water.

You realize it's only faster with two cards in AOTS because that's using the multi gpu feature of dx12 right?

So many people believe this is crossfire performance but it isn't. Apparently, with dx12 you can mix any card. So if I were to mix my 1080 with my old 770, it would destroy 2x 480s again.

Either way, crossfire performance is going to be worse than this shit. This card also needs some proper benchmarks released first, it's not the first time AMD is hyping something up like this and it ends up being a massive failure, just like bulldozer or mantle.

390x was also supposed to be better on paper than 970 gtx yet in reality it's 50/50 cuz of Nvidia dominating 82% of market. I'm realistic, I'm not gonna vote with my money just so maybe some day in the future AMD can take over the market and do same shady shit Nvidia does right now.

I can't decide if the looks of the reference 1070 are worth it or if I should just wait for an OEM version again. My card and motherboard are both Gigabyte, I'd figure swapping out for the same brand will be a little bit more reliable (or at least its just a placebo).

Wonder if Gigabyte's single 8-pin setup makes overclocking a dangerously tight affair?

The Nvidia solution is actually costing you 900 dollars, because they also scam you into buying the gsync DRM chip for your monitor, which is an additional 200 dollars.

DX12 being supported =/= being standard.

Majority of PC owners don't even have a GPU which can support DX12, not to mention the glorified W10 botnet. Do you honestly think they'll magically drop support for dx11? Even 1080 gtx is too shit to run games at 144fps/1440p so really those ultra end GPUs feel like overkill for 60/1080p but at the same time they're too weak for 144/1440p or 60/4k.
>>
>>340514130
Are you stupid? You can't "patch" dx12 into a game and receive any dx12 benefits. Game engines have to be built from the ground up to fully support dx12 or you get the absolute worst shit fests like quantum break or gears ultimate which are all dx11 games with bolted on dx12 features.

Dx12 won't be the norm till 2018 at minimum and currently no gpu supports dx12 fully. By 2018 all gpus will be able to support everything dx12 has to offer with new gpu technologies like volta.
>>
>>340514454
The consoles all have DX12-like APIs since a long time ago. It is the standard.

No. Just no. Stop posting if you're going to speak about things you clearly don't know much about. Adored tv isn't a reliable source.

Console api's are way more efficient than dx12 can ever dream to be. There is a single console configuration for develops to work with compared to millions of different pc configurations. Even though dx12 is more efficient than dx11, it's no where near console levels of efficency.

You are right. G-sync and free sync are scam tier.

I just bought one of those 1440p 144hz monitors. 1440p is useless and running the monitor at 144hz is negligibly smoother. So i am of the opinion all monitors are scams if it says anything other than 1080p 1ms input lag.

>b-but anon, it's directx12 compatible, you just be patient and see all that 500fps power I'm going to get once some games start running under dx12!

Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer buying something that actually works well now - not tommorow, not after a month or 10 fucking years, but

RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

Perhaps one day MAD poo in loos will stop dedicating every second in pursuit of their daydreams about "futureproofing" and start thinking about how NOT to run each of their mediocre products straight into the ground before it even hits the shelves.

Well of course. Freesync is cheap to implement when compared to g-sync in a monitor. And you need as many buzzwords in the title of your monitor to trick people into buying your average monitor. Basically a scam.

I want to get a 1080 this summer, depending how I stand with cash. Could go for a 1070 but fuck it. I have a 670 right now and it's a very fine card, but I wanna play Witcher 3 with everything maxed. And a 1080 would give me a reason to upgrade my monitor later this year too. Now just have to figure out if I want to go for 4K or 144Hz.

>>340515625
>Well of course. Freesync is cheap to implement when compared to g-sync in a monitor
That's because Freesync is the industry wide VESA standard.

Whereas gsyn is just a DRM chip which will disable the adaptive refresh rate for GPUs Nvidia doesn't like.

Your 4790k would definitely be still fine to use, just OC it to 4.5ish

I am on a [email protected] and still think its fine for everything. My 290X though will not survive the next full year I think, trying to get more than 100FPS at 1080p so I can enjoy my 144hz monitor in more games.
>>
>>340516676
Same here, even now during summer when it's 30c outside it hasn't reached more than 75c. Still feels hot in comparison to earlier when it never went over 60c.

But Fermi was actually hotter than fucking 290x and yet you touch Nvidia cards nowadays but refuse to touch AMD after 290x with probably a shitty fan god forbid stock.

They even address the TDP problems with their new line. Heat was solved just by pushing better coolers on their cards.

Not worth spending the extra money on for a high end card with a housefire tier cooler. You can probably pick up a cheap 980ti, or the cards in the 970/390/390x range to tide you over for a few months.
>>
>>340517568
I have the money right now, it's the cooling I'm concerned about.

Definitely going to wait for non-reference cards. I'm a good goy who buys a GTX X70 every year and sell the old one for $150-250.
>>
>>340517338
Because nvidia cards aren't anywhere near as inefficient as amd cards, so they have little to gain compared to amd cards.
>>
>>340517632
FE guys have been whining about blower coolers for a while I think, check some Reddit or Nvidia forums.
>>
>>340517632

Never get a fucking reference card m8
>>
>>340517389
There is LITERALLY no reason to buy the FE edition. It's inferior in every conceivable way and it costs more because dumb retards are willing to pay $70-100 more to get the card on launch. Don't be a dumb goy and wait a week or two for reference cards.

No, I'm going for the 1080.

>>340517680
So what does DX12 exactly do to Nvidia cards besides nothing?

You can blame it on AMD or anything else but even if DX12 is just removing their inefficiencies they are still gaining a lot and beating Nvidia at it per price bracket.
>>
>>340517879
Doesn't really matter. EVGA I guess, they have good costumer support.

They are also the cheapest here currently, by a pretty decent margin (~60+ €).

You do know that dx12 consists of more than just asynchronous compute, right? Async was even in dx11_3 so it's not even exclusively a dx12 feature.

Because there are no true neutral dx12 games (nvidia have their dx12 games they win in and amd have their own too), no one can predict what features other than async will benefit either company.

Also, dx11 is still the standard for a good few years yet and I'm not going to support Microsoft with its crazy windows store games just for dx12 if I get an amd card. Nvidia are the logical choice for dx11 currently and even if amd and nvidia go head to head at stock speeds, any overclock to the nvidia card puts it out of reach of the competing amd card and this can't be denied. Nvidia is cheaper here too, so buying nvidia for cheaper and overclocking it is a win-win situation.

Most reviews are already done on boost clocks with various overclocks and I am not seeing it. In fact the current trend regardless of DX12 or DX11 start putting 390 closer to 980 than 970 for example.

I said current trend. If it's DX12 it's pretty highly probable that 290x or 390 are within 1% of 980. There was also that Black Ops benchmark with similar results of 980 being either at the level or below 290x.

It's just gonna end up like with 7xx series. The worst part is that the new games are exactly where better performance starts mattering more unless you are already using 1440p or better.

530-600€ in Europe. That's entirely different price segment than the 970 was. People who can spend that much will get the 1080, and the ones who can't will simply not buy it. The latter are probably much more common.

But the 1070 is more expensive than the 970 at launch. Either Nvidia's lowest end card is going to go up in price, or they need to add another tier below the 1070 so that they're competing in all price brackets.
>>

Reminder that most benchmarks turn on stupid shit like 8xMSAA, which is redundant at 1440p and higher.

Anyways, I'm planning on grabbing a 1070 (evga likely, but I'll wait for reviews) to upgrade from my 960 and a new 1440p monitor to upgrade from my 1080p.

Should I upgrade my CPU or GPU
>>
Nah, the 1070 is for poorfags. I didn't wait this long for Pascal just to get a cheaper 980ti.

Now, if we get some more benchmarks and it turns out the 1070 is like 5 fps behind the 1080 in games at my chosen resolution, that's a different story.

1080 is definitely overkill, the 1070 is a great choice though

people say these new cards are for 1440p and above, but a 1070 will futureproof you for a long while on 1080p

No, there's always something new coming around the corner but the best way to put that feeling off is by picking up the newest cards when they come out.

However it really doesn't matter if a new card comes out and is better than yours at the same price or whatever, as long as what you have works for you then it's not a big deal. And even if you buy a powerful and expensive card that's beaten by something within a year, that doesn't suddenly make your powerful card worthless because it'll keep up in games for at least a few more years to come. The real victory is using a single card for 5+ years, that way when you finally upgrade it's a huge difference rather than some incremental bullshit.

>he doesn't know
DX12 removes a lot of the SLI and Crossfire pains. It's viable now
>>
>>340527858
I don't think so because of two reasons.
1).From what I've heard, Vista (the only OS it worked on) was at least initially a buggy, bloated POS that actually ran software slower than its predecessor, needed gaming PC tier hardware to run its Aero interface and barley had any drivers working on it when it first came out.
2).The seventh gen consoles came out right before DX10 compatible hardware a thing (thus they only supported DX9 or OpenGL).

Thus developers didn't feel like spending lots of money to make the game look better for a very small minority of PC gamers. DX12, on the other hand, is compatible with the pretty popular Windows 10 and is partially supported by the GPU's of the PS4 and Xbox One.
>>

future proofing doesn't work because technology and standards change over time. "power" is not a linear thing.

take, for example, the gtx 780ti. 3 years back, it was a $600 dollar beast of a card that was viewed by consumerist cuckolds as the greatest future proofed card that anyone would need. that was when it was released. 3 years later and it's an lolbad card that gets outperformed by every metric because hardware that games require has changed and it's no longer suited for the job.

you buy a card to use it for the purpose its built for. "future proofing" will only lead to you having a hurt butt. it always does.

1070 will always be overkill for games at that resolution and framerate. 1080p 60fps isn't really a hard setting to run at. Just take a look at benchmarks of games you want to play and see how cards are performing.
>>
>>340530387

Yeah I was hyped as fuck that the 1070 came out tomorrow, but then I saw a €500 pricetag and "Founders Edition".

Nvidia can't into async so their feature level doesn't even matter. AMD bet on async years ago with GCN and have been refining it ever since.

Best way to describe it would be like Nvidias cards being very good at doing one task and AMDs cards being very good at multitasking

In DX11 Nvidias cards are extremely powerful but in DX12 the AMD cards can finally use GCN to its full potential and can work faster than the Nvidia cards because they can process more things at once

I'm thinking of getting a 1070 though, you say future proof is a meme but at my resolution, I think it will last until it dies
>>
>>340529915
Future-proofing doesn't work if one wants to run games at the same settings in the future as they can in the past but it can work if one is willing to sacrifice on resolution or graphics settings and is willing to overclock.

Look at the R9 290. Once custom models for the card finally came out, it was seen as the king of the high end price-performance curve and it could play essentially almost every game at 1440p with maxed or near maxed out settings. Fast forward to today and it still is a respectable card as long as one is either willing to go down to 1080p resolutions or is willing to sacrifice graphics settings at 1440p.
