I just love not being poor.

You know some people are wealthy, right?

>spend $800
>end up broke

does this really happen?

Why the fuck did you buy something you can't afford you stupid cunt

but dude 4k with 16x MSAA
now you can go on Sup Forums and not play games

problem OP? in b4
>games after 2016 are shit

Not used on any of the games I want to play thankfully.

Stop responding to shitty bait

Does GTX 1080 offers a good performance increase value compared to GTX 1070?
Thinking to upgrade to 1070 instead of 1080 due to the power consumption (PSU upgrade) and cost.

>tfw nabbed an EVGA ACX 1070 the second they went into stock today at Newegg and within an hour it was out of stock

>not waiting for 1080ti

i ordered mine in may...the shipping date changes every week ;_;

If the 1070 isn't at a ridiculous scalper/demand price then it's better value than a 1080.

Enjoy your 20% price increase with 25% extra power consumption for a 10% performance increase. Oh you will enjoy a free upsized fan, as a consolation.

yeah, AMD titan is a basically microwave toaster. Nvidia has an upperhand now with Pascal architecture.

>it took a whole month to crack so it's the end of piracy!

>Bought a 980ti days before 1080 was announced

Could've just bought a 970 and still gotten better performance than a PS4.

*760

which 1070 do I buy...

>3.5gb meme card
>ever
390 destroys that POS now and in the DX12 future

>AMD titan is a basically microwave toaster. Nvidia has an upperhand now with Pascal architecture.
AMD always said that Polaris would be mid-range. Vega is going to be their high end to compete with Nvidia's Pascal.

>don't buy a card when they're new
>wait for reviews to see which brands hold up
>by the time i can decide the next big thing is announced

The question is, for the next few months, which GTX 1070 models, you can find "IN STOCK" in stores

>1070/1080 reported to have up to double the performance in VR as 900-series

Yes. This pleases Master.

It is valid 3 years ago, where the room for growth is relatively easy in semiconductor. Now, even GTX 9xx family lasts for 3-4 years. GTX pascal 10xx family took 2 years to develop. We are hitting the semiconductor and frequency limit.

one GTX 1080 is faster than SLI GTX980
youtube.com/watch?v=0xnzwjPyx8A

but really... which one do I buy? Are they all the same?

They are only different in
(1) Frequency
(2) heatsink and fan
(3) on-board memory
The only brand that I avoid is ASUS

Alright, thank you very much.

>bought a GTX1080 for the price of a 10 PS4 games
>thousands of cheap and free games available as well as full priced releases
>can pirate almost anything I want and play it at 4K 60fps

Any of them except Founders Edition cards.

>pirate games
>play for 2 hours and uninstall

>buy games
>play it for days

oh no, what have I become

Models so far.
Performance:
Palit > EVGA > MSI > NVidia
Power Consumption:
EVGA< MSI < Nvidia < Palit

Other things to consider: Heatsinks, Fan(s), Noise

Where's Zotac, PNY and Asus?

Wait, so, EVGA consumes the most or the least power?

you can be wealthy without being stupid

Hey Sup Forums, massive noob when it comes to computers and i'm looking to get into pc gaming after many years of being a comsole pleb. I'm looking for 1080p 60fps sort of game play, nothing more due to current finances.

Does this build look good? What could I improve/change?

fuck off

>key sites

No u

Nigger much, op?

That's the typical Sup Forums poster, to be fair.

This gave me a virus

>post yfw you bought a GTX 1080 but you can't into Uncharted

If you're on such a limited budget I'd drop the SSD and put that money towards a better GPU.

Let's say the budget wasn't as much of an issue, what gpu would you recommend? What sort of price?

>CPU: Intel Core i3-4170 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor (£96.23 @ CCL Computers)
As long as you do not plan to do any multitasking while gaming this is fine. This is not a future proofing choice.

>Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£35.99 @ Ebuyer)
I do not like microATX. But people have good luck with them so I give this a Meh.

>Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£37.03 @ BT Shop)
Meh.

>Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£118.33 @ Aria PC)
>Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£41.43 @ Amazon UK)
Unless you plan to have a LOT of video games installed at the same time, the 500GB SSD is likely overkill that could be downgraded and the funds shifted to other components. Otherwise solid choices.

>Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 950 2GB Video Card (£114.99 @ Amazon UK)
Solid but not future proofing choice. The weakest spot in the build.

>Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case (£50.99 @ Amazon UK)
>Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£46.50 @ BT Shop)
Gonna be a tight fit with both the GPU and NIC. And that power supply is good enough for the components your considering.

>Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter (£24.99 @ Amazon UK)
>Monitor: Asus VX228H 21.5" 60Hz Monitor (£109.97 @ CCL Computers)
>Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire TK Wired Gaming Keyboard (£79.98 @ Ebuyer)
Meh.

Overall a decent 1080p rig that should be good for everything but high end graphic beasts up to the beginning of 2016. NOT a fan of the 950, but as long as you are on older games it will see you thru.

You can download a 2016 denuvo game on the Pirate Bay now and play it?

Shitposting aside:

I've bought a GTX 1070 this monday, and according to benchmarks it's a card that can hold it's weight at 2k60 on max settings.

However, at 1680x1050 i can only pull an average of 130 FPS on Overwatch and FFXIV, getting drops to low 70s when on more demanding times. I have 8GB ram and my CPU is a i7-4770, all of this on an asus Z-87 PRO.
What could be bottlenecking the card's performance?

ttps://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Installed-Backplate-Graphics-04G-P4-3966-KR/dp/B00UOYQ5LA

Add the "h" to the beginning of the address for the link to work.

I was looking at the VIVE, I just can't imagine hooking up all that shit just for VR, though.

Drop the SSD and use that money to get an i5 + 960.

Did you try MSI Afterburner to see where the bottleneck is?

Too little information to make anything but wild guesses:

• Slow hard drive bottleneck (especially for a streamer like FFXIV)
• Poor performance from your network (both being online games)
• Power supply *just* enough to run all components in the tower
• Motherboard fault or a cache fault starting to appear
• ESD damage during installation
• Drivers in need of an update
• DirectX in need of an update (unlikely)
• Hardware setting conflicting with software settings (ex: forced filtering in control panel)
• ... it's the summer, so too hot?

Can you not into less than and greater than signs?

nothing of value was lost

Not when he used them in one way and then another. I don't know what rule I'm supposed to be following here

The smaller power consumption number is the better

>Slow hard drive bottleneck
I have an SSD, so this shouldn't be an issue

>Poor performance from the network
I dont' see how network lag would influence framerate...

>Limited Power supply
I have a 650w power supply, shouldn't it be enough? Does MSI afterburner indicate power consumption/availability?

>motherboard fault/cache fault
In case of a cache fault, how would I be able to fix this?

>ESD damage during installation
What's ESD?

>Drivers in need of an update
I'm pretty sure I have the latest drivers

>DirectX in need of an update
Also unlikely

>Hardware setting conflicting with software settings
Hardware settings are stock

>Summer
If this were the case, I think that at least i could see some degradation from a real high FPS count to what i'm reporting.

PC is such a scam
I built a semi top of the line computer 2 years ago and it's already out of date
It had a brand new haswell intel cpu, now they put out like 2 more different types since then.
Put a gtx 780 in, and they released 2 diffferent series since then.
Like seriously, scam much? They do this on purpose to, they know how far they can go, but they're going in steps.

Your build failed on meme that storage (SSD) + mechanical keyboard is better than processor / video and ram.

You really have serious issue in giving priority.

haswell cpu still fine
780 still fine and better than any console
woah

These are the changes i made, i downgraded the ssd to 240Gb to redistribute some of the money to a fancier cpu and gpu... how do these look?

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (£145.36 @ More Computers)

>Buying one of the most expensive video cards available

Nigger what are you doing? You can get a card for $100-$200 right now which will last you longer than this gen of consoles.

That's way too much for a 960. You could get a used 970 for not much more.

but these new cards a better investment

I did preface that i'm a noob when it comes to this

>I dont' see how network lag would influence framerate...
Depending on the title and how it behaves with a loss in data fidelity your network can have a considerable impact. I do not have a lot of experience with either title to know, just chumming the waters for a bite.

>I have a 650w power supply, shouldn't it be enough?
I would call that sufficient unless you are running a full tower full of accessories.

>What's ESD?
Electrostatic discharge. A silent killer of modern technology thanks to them being such precision engineering. Another longshot since most people I know have to brains about them to ground themselves with several hundred dollars worth of hardware on the line... or buy pre-built.

Your other responses tell me you have some idea of what is going on in a computer so likely it is not something "duh obvious". If you have diagnostic software to check that would be my next step. Napkin problem solving on an Anonymous image board tells me your problem is likely subtle.

Much better than previous config.
Please note that SSD is only useful if you are playing games like MMORPG or Large Scale FPS. You can upgrade GTX 960 to GTX 970 and buy SSD later.

>ESD IS Electrostatic discharge

Derp.

Anyway, I don't think this is an issue. While I wasn't properly grounded, i always take care while handling components, never touching connectors and avoiding at maximum trying to touch the board itself. Also, considering this is the MSI Gaming edition which has a backplate for protection, this shouldn't really be the cause.

>Tower full of acessories
Just have the bare minimum. Motherboard, 1 SSD, 1 DVD drive, graphics card, CPU with an aftermarket cooler and the two memory sticks, keyboard, mouse, headset and one controller (but these shouldn't draw that much power anyway).

>tfw Shinobu

I'm really interesting in leaving consoles in the dust and joining the master race but 600+ for just a video card?

That's fucking insane. It would take a ton of mental gymnastics to fucking justify that.

Thanks man, i still hop on planetside every so often, in games like that, graphics are not THAT important, it's smooth gameplay, would this build be able to maintain steady 60 fps on at least medium settings? Thanks for the help by the way bud.

No real mental gymnastics. While consoles have already dropped price, you can still build a rig that will match/outperform them for 400 dollars.

If you really want to hit the performances that consoles can only dream of, by all means drop that dosh into a 600 dollaryroo card.

Nothing stupid about being superior

Dude that's like... the seriously high end stuff, graphics cards that compete with current gen literally cost about £120

I just ordered mine today.

To be fair, I needed to. The 750 xti ain't cutting it anymore, and I never upgrade my video cards (ever). Thought I'd bite the bullet and go in hard and wet.

>tfw GTX 660
>tfw waited for th RX480
>tfw now waiting for the 1060
>tfw will wait for vega after that
fuck

the 600+ video cards are mostly meant for 4K.
if you want 1080p@60fps a 200 card should be enough

>mfw watched that movie on youtube for free

>He fell for the mustard race meme
Serves you right

Are you a girl? I'm just curious. You posted a cat image.

>now have to pirate all the games to make up for the cost
You mean "get to" right?

That was a typo?

This shit needs a 600w+ PSU. Hope you knew that before buying.

I decided to treat myself since I just got a new job and finally have money to waste.

>2x MSI GTX 1080 ($1600)
>i7 6700k ($400)
>128 GB DDR4 RAM ($700)
>1500w Seasonic PSU ($300)
>4TB Intel SSD ($10000)

I don't know if I fucked something up putting it together, or what, because I'm still getting 0fps in Bloodborne. Should I have bought four 1080s?

Yeah I got a 650 watt PSU

>noname ram
Maybe don't cheap out next time you casual shitter

made me lol

I went from a 980 to a 1080, and there have been very visible gains in VR from what I've experienced so far. Both Elite Dangerous and Valkyrie can be played with 1.5x rendering resolution and still hold over 90fps, the resolution increase really makes a huge difference.

do you have csgo?if so what fps and settings?

It seems you don't have any sort of motherboard, that might be the issue.

Waste tons of money on stupid shit like 128gb of ram and 1500w PSU, but stop at an i7-6700k instead of going up to 6 cores for another 100 bucks?

well you're not gonna be getting good performance without a mobo and monitor

I do but I've not played it in a while, I'm gonna guess above 200 FPS even at the highest settings.

Alright that's good to know, thanks.

I don't mind spending 800-1000 on a good rig I want 1080p@60fps that would make me cum my pants.

Yes! I bought 1080 too. I can sign all petitions now in 60 fps

>MSI

Just how new are you?
