Are you ready for supreme budget performance?

What's the catch?

>>342823134
my daddy bought me undertale frickin idoit
>>342823165
there's no games
>>342823134
>i am proud for owning a $300 plastic box
>>342823276
What do you mean? It's a GPU not a console
>>342822597
amd won boys. Nvidia shills on suicide watch.
>>342823371
He probably means that almost every single game is """optimized""" for nvidia.
>>342823276
PS4 has 1 good game. Just remember that.
>>342823483
So I'm better off buying a 970?
>>342823379
Why is Linux made at Nvidia? I thought they had better driver support for his shitty OS.
>>342823483
The reason most people have problems is because they dont turn off the special nvidia features thats why it runs like shit. Turn off the nvidia crap and it runs fine.
>>342823165
No catch for poorfags, just a good deal.
People with actual jobs won't care for it, though.
>>342823701
Nvidia shills. AMD fanboys keep quiet. Nvidia users are proud neets.
>>342823772
Nvidia doesn't even need shills to sell.
YASSSSSSSSSS
Finally can be rid of my 45'c 6870
oh god i can't play shit i'm fucking dyin
>amd
kek
>>342823528
And that game hast way better alternatives on PC
>>342823814
Indeed. They need software that sabotages the competition.
>>342823528
You can add Nioh to that list.
>>342824115
It still isn't out, but it looks good. Certainly could be another game that is actually more than your average casual AAA blockbuster hit.
>>342823906
Better than relying on shills making up conspiracy theories to defend their budget cheap garbage.
>>342824245
So Nvidia with 950?
>>342822597
>buying a playstation neo
top kuk
>>342823165
Terribad AMD drivers.
>>342824327
Anything AMD, really.
Maybe try saving a bit more and go Nvidia next time buddy ;)
I need to upgrade and I've always bought nvidia and im stuck on a 770 at the moment. For 250 dollarydoos I'll give amd another try.
Planning to buy the HBM2 cards anyway in 1.5 year, I guess this cant hurt buying a card now.
>tfw work for amazon
i got two for dirt cheap and i'll be home in an hour to try them
>>342823165
It' actually the same performance as the 970 but with shitty budget components.
That sounds too good, what's the catch?

>I hate consoles! Their reduced processing power means multiplats games are limited in their level design so that the consoles don't have to render too much and developers have little reason to add graphical detail beyond what consoles can handle
>*PCucks proceed to cream themselves over a card with the same performance as the upcoming console revisions that is literally advertised as having last gen performance*
>>342823165
AMD has only around 20-30% of the market (more if you count consoles).
This puts them in a horrible position when developers are considering optimization. Why spend more time optimizing for hardware that less people have?
Of course this puts them in a catch-22 where they can't get more market-share without first getting more market-share. The RX 480 might be the card that changes that, but people have been saying that about AMD cards for years.
>>342823870
like what?
>>342822597
>was planning on getting gtx 1070
>two 480s in xfire is the same price
hmm...
>>342826151
>AMD has only around 20-30% of the market
>This puts them in a horrible position when developers are considering optimization
By this logic Intel integrated graphics must have the best drivers
>>342827372
They probably do, they're just NOT intended for gaming. Intel graphics are extremely anemic for a reason, they're just to help with general computing.
>>342827228
>two gpus
Just no.
Don't need one.
I do need a new monitor tho
>>342826151
>oh yea steve just ignore those 20-30% of the market
-developers
Are you a fucking retard? 20-30% is still fucking huge. It's not 1%.
>>342822597
Is it better than 7870?
>>342827228
Don't you will regret it. Just get one good gpu. I ran crossfire for years and there are barely any games that utilize it. You just end up running the game on one gpu
I'm poor I'm thinking about getting the 470 does it come out on the 29 too?
>>342828552
holy shit yes you need a monitor.
>>342822597
>Gonna buy two of them and crossfire
>Nobody can stop me
Waiting another month for custom cards is gonna suck though.
>>342829479
Legit, if you're really willing to spend 450 bucks on a crossfire setup, you should just but a 1070. I used to SLI 780s, and the amount of games that just fucked off was huge.
>>342823637
nah, you need atleast 4gb of Vram to be future proof
>>342829309
TV plays games in 1080p, is just resized for desktop.
>>342829604
This.
Either wait for the 480, pick up a 390 or buy a 1070.
>>342822597
> 980 performance
The AMD shills are at it again.
>>342829550
I was thinking about it some time ago, but with Nvidia they always love to understock purposely. Then the people who DO buy them just resell them at a 50% markup.
>>342823750
You don't have an actual job, anon, just a dead end one.
>>342823674
Closed source drivers that might as well not fucking exist. AMD has free and open source drivers that are nearly as good as Nvidia's now.
>>342824527
you mean $580 AU you idiot
>>342830571
But I use euro.
So reference is $199 for the 4gb. Will the 3rd party ones be even cheaper?
>>342832395
>Will the 3rd party ones be even cheaper?
No, the custom models never are.
>>342832395
other way around but should have more OC headroom

350€ then.
yup, gonna get a 8gb sapphire one.
Btw, is this build alright? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XqzvVY
>>342833757
? Both pascal cards are significantly more powerful than a 480
The i fucking left consoles for pc because are retarded ass console wars, and now im greeted with even worse gpu wars. What the fuck
>>342834703
price/performance ratio is literal garbage, and they throttle because of high temps.
>>342835101
Blame your own dumbass. Brand wars for PC has been around since console wars for consoles.
>>342823165
Not really any catch. It's just a $200 970 which is fine for people who haven't upgraded in over a few years.
>>342835101
To be honest mate the internet highly over exaggerates the gpu wars to an insane degree; If you stop paying attention you can pretty much ignore it and just play whatever game you want. I let it frustrate me while looking for a new card last year then I kinda just stopped caring. Just at a surface level find whatever card you need and best fits your usecase whenver you need to upgrade and proceed to ignore it anyother time.
Sorry for rambling, pretty much just saying it's not as bad as the internet might lead you to believe (same with console wars).
>>342822597
I don't know if I will buy a 470 or 480, knowing my country the 480 will go around 450-500 so it's fucking expensive.
Going by specs alone the 470 is at least equal to the 970, except that it doesn't have meme 3.5 memory.
But the 390 is already much better than the 970 nowadays and the 390 has much worse specs than the 470 so It's safe so assume that this will be too.
I'm excited

Nvidia just won't fucking release open source drivers and won't even support linux well in a close source manner.
Linus is pissed because even when Nvidia won't support linux, they're spending quite a lot of money on Android. Thus making Nvidia a bunch of assholes.
And I don't even care about Linux.

If you want a quick fix for now, you'll need a Japanese copy of the game and you'll want to replace the pack_030_etc.cpk in your patched game with the Japanese one.
>>342837096
>no evidence
Thought so.
>>342836397
At least you know you'll be able to play this.
Debating jumping on this or waiting a long while for inflation to go down for both this and the 1070 and then deciding.
Where the hell would one buy it upon release? I've only checked newegg, there anywhere else?

What do
>>342827228
On average you might loose performance per dollar, not to mention how your power bill will be more negative as a result giving you less money in your pocket in the long run.
>>342838043
>>342838634
Don't go Sapphire, their coolers are worse than actual third party.
>>342838764
Sell it and take a break for a few months?
Play Undertale, Sim City 2000, AoEII and Tibia in the meantime.
>>342822597
Why the fuck are people excited for 2 year old performance technology again? Why didn't they just lower the price of 390x to $200? It's the same thing. Meanwhile look at the 1070 and 1080 they are massive improvement of last Nvidia cards.
>>342839321
>Why the fuck are people excited for 2 year old performance technology again?
>Praises refreshed Maxwell cards
>mfw bought 960 GTX march this year
>>342838764
It's just a little six pin card, m8.
>>342839559
The keyword there is performance, retard.
>>342838764
People have said it runs cool with the reference cooler. It only uses around 110 watts on average. It's not like the days of the 6970 or something
That said, if you want to overclock, you may want to wait for the custom boards. It's looking like the single 6-pin is limiting OC headroom to under 1400mhz.
>>342837096
boku no not his job faggot post proof or fuck off
shit's just a 970
>>342839617
What came over you?
>>342839102
Incorrect. Sapphire is probably the best AMD board partner. Their boards are always solid.
>>342839917
>"1400 MHz hast not reached our card anyway"
lel
>>342839102
>than actual third party
What
>>342839853
You are still the one excited for 2 years old technology.
Performance is always a relative thing, now anyone can afford a really cheap card with good performance and modern features, so no excuses to buy a console anymore. If you want more performance you can always get a more expensive card or wait for Vega
>>342839321
Because the 390x uses a fuckton of power. This will have similar performance for a lower price and half the wattage.
Wait for the 490 or new Rage cards if you want more performance.
>>342840190
I wasn't even that guy, but I'm not autistic enough to to strawman like you are.
>>342840110
Yeah, looks like the single 6-pin is limiting it. They'll need one of the custom cards to go higher.
>>342840280
>I wasn't even that guy
then fuck off, I wasn't talking to you
>>342838764
>Upgrading from a 390 to a 480
Why?
>>342822597
> 980 performance
Maybe in the games it was rigged by AMD to run well on. Besides, anyone who doesn't own a GTX 1080 is a groveling peasant faggot and the 1080 is 4x times the performance of that card
>>342840495
You completely strawmanned his argument. You're retarded, kid.
>>342840574
>his argument
k
at least 1/3 of the pc community will have a 480 because its cheap af and worth for the value, only top 10% of pcdrones with 1.2k+ rigs are arguing about this shit
>>342840671
It doesn't even matter who I am, only that you're retarded.

>>342840707
The majority of PC gamers have a midrange card as they simply over the best performance/price ratio out of them.
I honestly can't wait to replace my 6870 with a RX 470 or 480.
>>342840962
pic related, it's you, a retard
Somehow I can't justify upgrading from a 280x to 480 since the performance gain isn't that much, I'll just wait for Vega since the 1070 prices are jacked up beyond retardation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzqFDc1RK5c
LMAO
>>342840895
See how every card above R9 200 Series costs less than $200 (not counting the 970)? Now imagine that the 480 is leagues above all of them for the same price
so ready

>>342828594
"Optimization" involves using frameworks and SDKs provided directly by nvidia that offer better performance - and consequently, encourage a way of development that incurs worse performance on amd cards.
The fact of the matter is that nvidia pays good money (and offers solid support) so developers are inclined to take them up on this.
>>342823528
Which one?
>>342823870
And that would be?
>>342842384
idiots think it's cool to have something small
secretly it's better to have a giant case with giant fans

>>342822597
Too good to be true. I'll wait for benchmarks.
>>342843371
That's irrelevant, but it can be any other card with 8GB VRAM (that is 390 or x). I don't really trust GGPC to begin with, but this guy is not even using his video to prove a point. If he's not willing to use the leaked video he could limit the clock speeds on 390/x or use even worse CPU.

>>342840110
because at the 1370 Mhz they've managed to get it too, the card is drawing like 147 Watts from the PCIE slot and 6 pin connector.

i think this card will be great for maxing out 1080p games. im using a 760 from 3 years ago and it run games high-ish perfectly 70-90 frames besides crazy shit like witcher and metro at 45 on medium
>>342842327
Literally the same percentage of my friends, only 2 of them have a gaming pc like me...what's worse is that 6 of them have thousands of hours in dota, but decided to buy $500 worth of costumes before even able to run this game at medium 60 fps

The Scorpio console might be using a stronger chip than this (rumors point to it using a underclocked version of the cut down Vega 10 that will compete with the 1070).

Yes you dumb shitposter. I'm not excited for Pascal since it doesn't do what I want in 1440p or UHD, so I'm waiting on Vega and fat Pascal. Polaris is exciting since it's setting a nice bar with a cute mobile chip in Polaris 11 and cute cards in Polaris 10.

GTAV barely even uses tessellation. Some games do use too much tessellation but AMD is doing something wrong if they can't even handle a tiny bit of it.
>>342850007
I thought Polaris was supposed to handle tessellation much better anyway.

>>342822597
>>980 performance
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
>>342850237
It might. My point is that GTAV doesn't have as much tessellation as most other games that people complain about. From what I saw on Nvidia's graphics options page when the game came out for PC it only affects some trees and a handful of other things. Most of the scenes in that video probably don't even have tessellation doing anything.

if you want to save a few bucks you could also go with the 6500k wont make any difference and you obviously want to OC
also would go with higher clocked memory, wont cost much more and your mainboardchip does support it

>>342822597

>>342841098

Why
Is it really 980 performance? I thought it was closer to 970. Either way it's a great price. I've always had Nvidia cards but might consider getting this.
>>342846125
110w apparently, the custom cards coming out will have 6+8 pins for overclocking but rumors say those OC editions will cost ~$300

I'm only asking this because I've heard about this cheap ass card. This is going to sound retarded but does bottlenecking a GPU mean that it reduces the power of that GPU by a significant amount? I have anIntel Core2 Quad CPUso would that make buying this GPU worthless?
My R9 285 runs Fallout 4/Witcher 3/Skyrim with a heavy ENB just fine with almost topped graphics settings. This thing has what, twice the kick of 285? I'm sold. Should also fit into my petite sexy mATX case.

it's a choice between buying a new gpu after 2 or 5 years
I'm getting one and if it doesn't have the same issue as my fucking 970, where the usage goes down the more intense a scene gets, then I will never buy nvidia products again
holy fuck their support is fucking useless, there's a 200page thread in their forums with no response at all
>have 60hz 1080p monitor
>have a 680
both are semi decent but want to upgrade, I would rather get a 1070, but I could buy a rx480 and a 144hz monitor for almost as much as the 1070, but then I don't know if a 480 would get +120fps on most games I play.
>>342860996
It's not like AMD GPUs have always overclocked well. Some GCN cards just happened to. For example, before 7000-series
6970:
>The overclocks of our card are 915 MHz core (4% overclock) and 1445 MHz Memory (5% overclock).
5870:
>The overclocks of our card are 890 MHz core (5% overclock) and 1275 MHz Memory (6% overclock)
4870:
>The final overclocks of our card are 785 MHz core (5 % overclock) and 1150 MHz Memory (27.7% overclock)
Memory OC is really good here, but it's not as important for performance most of the time.
The recent AMD cards haven't really done well either
Fury X:
>Maximum overclock of our sample is 1150 MHz GPU clock (10% overclock).
Nano:
>Maximum overclock of our sample is 1060 MHz on the GPU, a 6% overclock; GPU overclocking potential is quite slim. Memory doesn't overclock much better, reaching 565 MHz, a 13% increase.
It's slightly below stock 980, but cannot overclock at all. That makes it equal to an overclocked 970 at best. Probably even worse in games that are optimized for Nvidia.
So if you wait for a $300 OC 480, why not just shell out some more for a 1070?
>>342861826
Is the 1070 $300?
