Which one will you be getting /v/?
Is getting a GTX 1060 a good idea if you're a cheapfag that doesn't need absolute high end?

I'm still waiting for the 1080's to get in stock.
Will either pick up an EVGA FTW, Palit or Gigabyte.
I should really get a new card.
But I'm too cheap.
Why buy an nVidia card when they only last for two years?

Source: 980 came out less than two years ago with a retail pricve of $550, and now a card that costs less than half of that is supposedly more powerful.
Great value for your money isn't it.
probably going to go for a 1070 i think, the price & time is right for me.
i sound like a shill kill me
>>344263027
If you only plan to play 1080@60 you're set for a few years at least.
Already bought a MSI 1070.
It's on its way, but keeps getting goddamn delayed.
>>344264228
That's progress though.
I know that's not something AMD fans are used to seeing, but hey.
>>344264129
You know the Fury X chokes on Hyper settings too right? Nice shitpost though.
>There are people on this very board who fell for the Founder's Edition meme
>>344264228
What kind of reasoning is this? Time moves on and tech evolves. I mean I love AMD but this time around it just seems that Nvidia has all the price points covered.
>>344264394
>>344264428
and here come the shills
>>344264546
Sure thing m8.
>>344264228
Anon are you retarded? Better cards coming out as technology progresses is pretty fucking obvious. It's not like buying AMD will magically stop it either, you can pretend nvidia doesn't exist, but the progress is still there.

I hope you're running Prime95 at the moment.

I'm grinding BDO while watching videos on the other screen. Also 75C isn't anything to worry about.
>>344264696
Guess driver support is an unknown term to you.
>>344263027
We need to wait and see the actual benchmarks. Plus, aftermarket GPUs too. Cause we all seen what happened to RX 480. On paper it was great, but in reality it happened to have problems.
>>344265027
It's nothing to worry about when you're stress testing at 100% load.
It absolutely is something to worry about when you're just playing a game and watching a video.
>>344265121
Jesus Christ, no it isn't. Besides, it's summer.
getting a 1060ti to replace my trusty 660ti

Driver support has nothing to do with your original statement

I got a toxic 290x for 100eu cheaper than a 480 and 1060 and over 150eu cheaper than a 980.
>>344265232
Really going over your head isn't it.
>>344263027
Wait for benchmarks.
Also you can't sli 1060s at all.

Niggas please.
Nvidia Founder Edition cooler run much hotter than that.
Were talking about $100 cooler, with premium design and build here.
>>344265486
We're talking about his CPU masterfaggot.
I hope that by the end of the year the 1080 will actually cost $500
I feel like going for top tier stuff for once, gotta go for dat 4k
>>344265232
Compare a 780ti in a game the day the cards released. Then drivers from a year or two later. Then compare the drivers released now.
Until then don't talk. FPS are lower. It is called planned obsolescence.
>>344265486
The 1080 needs around 85-88C to not throttle, unless you like your 50+db noise levels.
>>344265563
b-b-but muh superior technology
>>344265563
AMD does the exact same goddamn thing, nvidia is more offensive about it, but they both do it.
Besides, if you're still sitting on a 780ti, you are not very serious about your hobby anyway, and as it has been for years, amd is the way to go for poorfags and people who aren't that interested
>>344265486
>so it runs as cool as it looks
Looks like overdesigned garbage so probably no potential for overclocking.
>>344265732
>AMD does the exact same goddamn thing
My 5 year old 7970 would like to disagree. That's why people use AMD, because they don't do it.
>Besides, if you're still sitting on a 780ti, you are not very serious about your hobby anyway
Buying a flagship card isn't being serious about your hobby just because it's obsoleted two-three years down the line? Why are you OK with this?
You are really misguided. Where do you get your information? From wizards on /v/?
>>344265732
>AMD does the exact same goddamn thing
Yeah, that's exactly the reason why people say that AMD cards age like wine.
>>344265732
>>AMD does the exact same goddamn thing
No they don't, performance typically goes up with driver versions.
>>344264228
Fury X came out 1 year ago with a retail price of $650. Now there's a card that easily outperforms it for $250 less.
Great value for your money isn't it.
>>344265563
?
>>344266442
It's pointless to argue with AMDfriends on articles of faith.
>>344264129
That's because of 3.5 GB memory you cuck.
>>344263027
Most likely once aftermarket benchmark results.
It's a 1060 or RX480. Both will kill my budget anyway since I'm also need to buy a 1080p monitor first.
If the RX470 won't suck at 1080p I might get one if it's significantly cheaper than 1060 6GB
>>344266442
To be fair, he talked about 780ti.
>>344265563
Nvidia does not gimp the gpu through driver, they just didn't give it the same optimization for new title.
Gamework ran like shit on Kepler and lower cards.
They can, but they just didn't want to optimize it for it.
>>344267342
780 Ti isn't really any different.
I'm just going to get a non-ref 8GB RX 480 because I'm poor.
>>344263027
How's the FTW 960? A good step up from the GTX 760?
>>344267497
Got any for actual video games?
>>344266442
Here's how these things actually work.
When it came to Kepler, there weren't large performance increases with newer drivers in most games. However, 7970 and 7950, for example, saw significant performance increases, at least in some games. Pic is one of the more extreme examples. However, these performance increases tended to come a few months after the game was released when most people had already finished playing the game, so they're not all that important for most people. That said, it does extend to many new games as well, where nvidia's optimizations for Kepler aren't nearly as good as they could be, which makes Kepler cards fall behind in comparison to equivalent AMD cards. So it'd be wrong to say that nvidia's new drivers gimp your performance. They just fail to improve your performance.
The problem with new games and keeping up with AMD cards only really applies to Kepler though. If we look at older cards, say, 560 Ti, then you'll find that it gained performance in comparison to AMD cards after 2 years. So how Pascal will fare against AMD cards in the future is something no one knows, but AMDrones will try to make it seem that AMD cards have better longevity by default.
>>344269614
Here's 560 Ti after 2 years. 5% faster than 6870 at release, 11% faster 2 years later.
>>344269068
Here.
>>344268894
No. Barely better than a 760.
>>344264961
They claimed they fixed that today and gave 3% performance boost with the newest driver... I mean 3 % isn't much but better then loosing it on an Nvidia card on a driver.
>>344269712
The 290's improvement is some miraculous shit, nice.
