shit is fine for 1080p IPS monitor I got. Maybe next year when I get a dank meme monitor ill want to upgrade, for now this thing shreks ass at 1080p perfectly fine.
Hey I built my compurer like 6 months ago with an i5 6500 and r9 390- how long before I should upgrade and should I do a crossfire 390 or just get a 1070?
>>340869713

Still bought it though, it's just time for me to upgrade.

Nigga $450 is a lot more than I am willing to spend when all I need is 1080 at 60. I got the 970 for $280 and that will hold me up well for at least 5 years.
>>340872597
I only play on 1080 60fps aswell, however I want to be able to play games on ultra for a long time without any bullshit.
>>340872451

Nvidia strategy. You never, ever drop prices on old hardware even if it's obsolete - it would just cannibalise the sales of your hot new product and that is the one shareholders care about.

New PC friends if you're not looking for 4k, VR ready shit then you'll do fine with the tier below the 1070/80 GPUs (970, 390, and dare I say 980). As for the CPU, I'll let someone else chime in on that because I don't want to get crucified.

>>340876197
I've had to RMA EVGA twice and upgraded once. Their customer support was one of the better ones I've dealt with.
Only issue I had is that one of the RMAs was DOA and I hate to wait from them to cross ship another one, which was a down grade from the first RMA I received (which was an upgrade from what I originally RMA'd)

These new GPUs cannot even handle 4K that well or can reach 144 fps easily, I'm sticking with my GTX 970 until the next ones come out, for 1080p the card I have performs quite well at 60 and a little more.
>>340869556
>What are you waiting for /v/?
I just bought a 970. The 1070 would be overkill for my needs at the moment, especially since I only have a 1080p monitor. And I was already a couple hundred dollars over budget on my build with the 970, so going $100 more with the 1070 was not an option.
>>340869759
What settings do you run W3 at? Do you use Hairworks at all?

You can cram a 1070 into a $600 build if you try hard enough, but you should have a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and be able to install the OS yourself.

Both have to do with memory bandwidths. The short answer is that GDDR5 results in faster memory bandwidth than DDR3.
The formula for memory bandwidth is given by the following: Memory Clock * Bus Width * DDR multiplier. This is how fast a graphics card can access and exchange information with its pool of video memory. The memory clock is seen on most graphics cards technical info and can be equated to a car's speed limit on a highway. The bus width is also see on graphics cards and you'll usually see them as something like "128 bit" or "256 bit" graphics cards. This is the number of information channels that data can go through between a GPU and it's VRAM so it can be equated as the number of lanes on a highway. Lastly there's the DDR3 or GDDR5, which I'd say can be equated to the interval between when the next car in a lanecan travel. For example lets pretend that DDR3 only lets 1 car into each lane every 5 seconds while GDDR5 allows 1 car through each lane every 2.5 seconds. Clearly GDDR5 would allow more cars through in the end. A rough analogy, but it still works. Anyway, these all factor in to produce your memory bandwidth.
Memory bandwidth is important to ensuring that your graphics card is able to make use of its VRAM. For example, if everything in 2 graphics cards are the same except for the VRAM capacity and type, which would be better? Well if one was 1 GB of GDDR5, while the other was 2 GB of DDR3, the 1 GB of GDDR5 would be better because it'd be able to make more efficient use of its pool of memory. Similarly, it can get complex if you're looking at 2 GPU's and one has 1 GB of GDDR5 but with a 200 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit bus width, but the other has 1 GB of DDR3 but with a 400 MHz memory clock and a 256 bus width. In that case, the DDR3 would win.
>>340880101
What?
When I say 1080 build, I mean a PC build that can run most games in 1080p60fps. I thought that much was obvious.
>>340880224
Thanks. So how much better is HBM supposed to be compared to GDDR5?
>>340880319
>I thought that much was obvious.
Entire thread talking about the GPU GTX1080. And you thought the obvious thing was the resolution?
>>340880051
Wider bus width, lower watts, smaller stack/memory.
The same reason why DDR5 is better than DDR3.
In theory you could get 10x bigger RAM/GPU with HBM, with lover TDP and better bandwith.

Throw in the cheapest 1070 you can find ($379) and you'll be at around $650. That CPU will be a bottleneck though, but you can sell that for $100 after you've saved another $100 for a 6500 or sth.

>>340881021
They'll both be fine for the time being. If you don't mind turning down a few settings in a few years I see the 1070 being a great option. IF you don't mind spending them money get the 1080.

So what's so bad about buying a reference card and why is it better to wait for aftermarkets?
>>340881441
Lower temps and lower prices on aftermarkets. You're paying the idiot tax if you buy now.

Happy with my 970
>>340871598
>maybe see if that'll shake Nvidia's boots to lower the 1070's price a wee bit.
It won't because the 1060 Ti is the direct answer to the R9 480. Slightly faster, higher overclocking headroom, and 8GB of VRAM standard over the R9 480 that should be releasing some time after the R9 480's official launch.
AMD is getting BTFO in all markets.

>>340881661
The FX-6300 is inefficient beyond a GTX 960 and R7 370/R7 270X. A R9 380X will actually seem its GPU utilization get restricted frequently because the FX-6300 cannot handle the massive overhead+calls from the card. Overclocking the 6300 is the only way to relieve that constraint, but you won't get that much more performance compared to migrating to an i3-6100 and a H110 motherboard.

>How long does it usually take for partner cards to release
Between 4-6 weeks. The halo cards usually comes out towards the end of the "lifecycle". Buy the halo AIB card and upgrade after two generation passes.
>>340882924
New? An i3-6100 and an H100 micro ATX motherboard with 8 or 16 GB of DDR3-2133 RAM (don't worry about CAS timing).
Or an i3-4360 and an H81 micro ATX motherboard with 16GB of DDR3-1600 RAM.
Used? I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be going down that route unless you already have parts from that generation (either a motherboard or a CPU with the same socket).

I'm currently using said fx-6300 and a r7 265x(I forget what it is called exactly). Most games I'm wanting to play run under 60 fps on medium/low settings and I would love to upgrade to at least a 1070 and switch to intel.
Port announcements for some of the best games the PS4 is currently getting (Nier 2, FFXV, Nioh, P5). Don't tell me that I spent 300 bucks on a GPU, and I STILL need to buy a PS4 for all the other games. Otherwise I should've bought a PS4 alone, I could live with 30 fps in shitty western multiplats.
Gonna upgrade my GTX 480 to R9 480. It's like poetry.
>>340883675
>Waiting for 980 ti price drop
You're not going to see one go for under $500 famalam, unless you buy B-stock or used.
>>340883849
I can't believe I'm saying this, but honestly wait for Zen to come out before upgrading.
Maybe switch to a GTX 960 for now and wait for your new build overhaul before switching to a 1070 or equivalent. Intel might respond with price changes if Zen turns out to be too price-competitive in the SOHO and consumer market. Plus, a six-core Zen will be on par with at least a i7-4790 (non-K) in multi-threaded tasks, which is becoming more important these days as more programs are becoming multi-thread optimized.
>>340881021
I also fell for the 1440p 144hz meme monitors

>>340883849
What you could also do in the meantime is invest in the largest air-cooler you can fit inside your case (or water-cooling, if possible) and start pushing the FX-6300 as far as you can without going too voltage-crazy.
A Cooler Master 212 EVO won't be enough to push the FX-6300 beyond 4.2 GHz without getting a bit toasty, so I'd recommend buying a cooler with no less than four heatpipes and two 120mm fans as standard. If you can fit two 140mm fans on it, even better. A water-cooler equivalent would be with a 240mm radiator or a 120mm radiator with push-pull fans and a minimum thickness of 37mm.
>>340884820
1080 will be a fine card. Price will come down and 3rd parties will overclock. If you need more than 1080p, then it would be worth it to wait and see what Nvidia does between the 10XX line and the next line. But you may end up with a 10XX card anyway.

My biggest hurdle on Consoles is actually only the lading screens. They make games almost unbearable for me.
>>340885638
Oh thank you.
I know these are gonna be hard to snag, but I'm going to be patient.
An i5-4570 shouldn't have any problems with a 1070 right?right?
>>340871598
I'm waiting for that too. It'll either be amazing or turn out to be a rip-off. Not even thinking about it until we know for sure.
>>340885721
Load screens are why I hate playing warhammer total war.
They are HEINOUS.
>>340885996
Really? Do you have it installed on a SSD?
My shogun 2 load times are like 3 times longer than warhammers.
>tfw sell 970 for £225
>Pay £100 for my 1070
Feels gud.
A Dell S2716DG and a gtx 1070. The monitor arrives tomorrow, the graphics card arrives the day after.
>>340886221
I do.
Total War has pretty typically had load times that can get pretty beefy, but there have been times where I've waited almost 90 seconds.
My friend has it on a HDD and he says he sometimes has to wait 3 minutes plus after battles end.
>>340885921
As far as I can tell, no. A i5-4670 can handle a 980 Ti without showing signs of CPU-limited GPU utilization.
>>340885721
You can actually fix that. https://youtu.be/3OP0tgY4vmM
But for the price of a PS4 + decent capacity SSD, you might as well just get a PC.
>>340886430
That's awful, I feel for him.
>>340885996
>>340886221
Total War has really bad load times, but The Lab (Valve's bundled Vive games) is fucking disgraceful. Remember how long it took the source engine to load TF2/Garrys Mod servers 5+ years ago and you'll be there. 3+ minutes per fucking minigame, off a good, modern (but mechanical) HDD.
>>340886430
>>340885996
That's why the turn times are so short
>>340886430
I have about 15 hours of playtime in the game right now.
Probably close to a 45 minutes of that is load times.
>>340869556
Waiting for 960s to drop in price.
>>340886431
Wait what? But the 980 Ti is said to be more powerful than the 1070 on passmark.
>was in stock for about 1 minute on Amazon
this is ridiculous
I did, I bought theEVGA founders edition
>>340885126
I'm not that desperate to upgrade so I'll just wait. Maybe I can find a cheap 960 for now.

>>340885721
consoles will never use SSDs because they cost more than dirt cheap HDDs
companies dont give a fuck about long term efficiency gains when they can cut costs and the general console owner wont even know.

Why the fuck do OEMs even sell the FE cards? There's nothing different with them from the ones straight from Nvidia.
I got mine from the Nvidia store and it arrives in two days, I'm so excited.

Can't fucking wait
>>340876801
bro
the fx chips are vastly cheaper than i7s if you need the cores. gaming is still i5 territory.
>>340887920
All you have to do is turn off HD textures though and the framerate will match the 390.
>>340869828
Stick with it until it can no longer play on settings you deem your minimum standards

>1440p
There's your problem. Even with dual 1080s, you won't be getting steady 144 fps.
1080p 144hz master race.
>>340875729
>>340876801
>>340881985
just a note for all the giant faggots considering 32GB of RAM:
it's actually somewhat sensible to use 16GB as RAM and use the other 16GB as a virtual harddrive RAMdisk that you load games into before you play them for instant load times.
>>340881441
Lower temps, better performance, not as loud

Is Great-tier worth it, or can I expect some price drops soon?
>>340875729
,,,why would you need an 1000 watt PSU for a 1070?
>>340888254
poo in loo
>>340869556
I'm happy with my 390 for the time being.
>>340869556
Can some tell about the 970 i'm going to get one for around 250$ is it worth it and will the 970 last me 1 more year so i can save up for the 1080?
>>340888734
Do great-tier specs with a GTX 970 instead. Best bang for your buck, since a lot of the non-1080 cards are dropping in price.
>>340889101
>970
>Last one year
Unless you're doing 1440p, that card can last you for the next five years easily.
>>340889161
I dunno man, that's another $150 dollaryroos that I don't think I can afford right now. Maybe if they were in mid $200 range.
>>340889101
RX 480 will cost the same and have full 8GB of VRAM with better performance
>>340889295
>>340889487
Thank you for the help.
>>340872770
you are an idiot, you need minimum r9 290x/r9 390/gtx970 to run modern games like shitcher 3, fallout 4, any ubisoft game, and plenty other unoptimized AAA games
I still have OCd 980ti. So I'll probably hold out on this gen.
Considering how expensive it is, might as well wait for 1080ti or even the next gen.
Every 1070 and 1080 on the market is snapped up literally within seconds of them being posted. People are using bots to buy them within nanoseconds.
As soon as a really nice custom PCB 1070 hits Amazon at the MSRP and not 150$ more, I'm going to be all over it.
For now I'm just waiting for my AsRock Z97 Extreme6 and 16gb of 2400Mhz CAS 10 DDR3 to get here tomorrow. Literally the only 1150 socket motherboard on the market with native full-speed m.2 support.
Gonna pair it with a delidded 4790k pushing 4.8 Niggahertz under an NH-D15. My GTX 780 is getting old as fuck.

Disable hairworks, turn down shadow render distance, fire Guillermot
In that order.
But nah I'm running Fallout 4 at ultra/1080p with 150 different mods (half of them 4k texture mods) and I stay between 45-60FPS at all times. Because I'm not a retard.

>>340877661
fuck off, new games will only let you play with high/ultra settings with minimum of gtx 1070 also modding requires a very powerful gpu which gtx 1070 are. Everything at 1080p.
>>340890354
Raja Pajeet, you are now my best friend.
Why the fuck do retarded people on this board keep ordering graphics card on release? Not only do they get shitty temperatures and awful noise due to reference coolers, but the price is higher than after a month or two and they don't even get to look at reviews from the competition before paying $200 more for a card than they need to.
>>340891114
We literally don't even know when, if ever, MSI and shit will release their cards
>j-just wait one or two decades
I might very well be dead by then
>>340891310
You know it's going to happen within 3 months at least. What the fuck are you on about, you cumguzzling retard?
>>340889295
>>340889161
>>340888291
Literally can't even handle 1080p on hyper on mirrors edge. Look at the fucking frame rate.
>>340888480
It was 1080p you dumb shill nigger.
>>340891114
Because benchmarks for both the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 have been published by literally dozens of different people and outlets, and the consensus is that at 1080p (the most common resolution) and 1440p (the most common high-end resolution) both cards fucking destroy even the most intense games like Crysis 3 at full ultra settings.
That is why they're getting snapped up left and right. Although yeah, buying this soon after release and not doing research and waiting is stupid.
I'm planning on waiting three-four months after the 1070 launch, buying a nice EVGA 1070, registering it at 13 days after purchase, then doing the step-up program to the nicest 1080 I can buy. And then the same for the 1080ti/Pascal Titan.
>>340891480
>3 months
nigger that's a quarter of a year
I might very well be dead when they finally get their shit together, I don't have time for this bullcrap
>>340880397
HBM is only useful at 4k or higher. Anything lower doesn't use that much bandwidth.

Wasn't this a completely expected result? I mean, they're the high-end cards of the newest series. Them dealing well with a resolution that high-end cards two generations ago dealt well with is completely expected, isn't it?
It's not a surprise at all to me.
>>340891861
So in other words, you bought into the hype and bought an inferior, more expensive card at release without bothering to wait for the price to drop or reviews of the competition's cards?
>>340869556

>>340869556
>What are you waiting for /v/?
my pay check
But I am wondering why I don't go for the 1080 instead of settling for something weaker.
>>340891870
This is important detail for poorfags like me that just care about 1080p. So a 1070 or even 1060 whenever it comes out will be perfect.
