Sell it and get a 1070 if you have a 1440 monitor otherwise no.

Nope. Not if you're at 1080p.

is that the gpu you have right now or the one you're going to get?

If you want one, don't overpay. Pay about 200 bucks for it.

3.5

Get Vega

680 master race

I got a 5850 and I'm in Canada.

What do?

Are there any good websites dedicated to comparing cards?

if you have a 4k monitor its not enough. 1080p its overkill. whd is just right

gpuboss.com/compare-gpus

Get a RX480 8GB
Not too expensive and will last pretty long.

Longer than your motherboard will

I have a GTX 770.. Should I go up to the 1000's series?

wheres that at?

stronger than the 970? comparable to a 980ti?

I have a 750ti and its going strong

found no reason to upgrade yet

Between the 970 and 980 for half the price of a 980.

A 1070 is about 60% faster.

Barely stronger than a 970, depends on the game though.

I've been fine with my 970 at 1080p, but the 1070 fixes everything wrong with the 970 and will be solid ultra, even at 1440 until the next big real console gen.

I'ma get one for sure. Weirdly, a 3570k still wont bottleneck the damn thing,

No. RX 480 is able to best a GTX 970. It will not beat a GTX 980, nor GTX 980Ti.
Having said that, the 480 does equal the GTX 980 in Doom with Vulkan API turned on.

970 is going to start showing age in the coming next year.

i have a 1060 on the way. upgrading from a 2gb 770. will be good

do you think this will handle cyberpunk...it's the only game i care about but i know its like 10 years away

Oh that sounds pretty good then. Thanks.

Well I got a G3258 @ 3.20GHz should probably upgrade that too right?

It'll probably run, just don't expect Ultra in 60fps.

Well yes, you can get an i5-4460 or 4690K, depending on whether or not you have a Z-Chipset.

You may also OC that Pentium, but two Cores without HT won't be a solution on the long run, no matter how high you push it.

I mean, Witcher 3 barely runs 60fps on a 1060 at ultra right now.

Damn guess I'll drop 300 on the 4690k.
That should last me longer.

Thanks for the help. I'll be upgrading my mb as well from the looks of it but that's fine.

Well, assuming it won't take literally 10Years, you should be able to run it on medium or low in 1080p, at the very least.

It's not like the new consoles are going to be anything special, the bar will not rise that much. Especially with DX12 and/or Vulkan taking off.

its along way from coming out

if you upgrade just for that I suggest you wait

>300 on the 4690k.
I hope that's not in American Dollars.

Anyone else /bottleneck/ here?

Yes. my i7 2700k is bottleneck to my 980ti at 1080p. I don't game at 1080p though, so it's not so bad.
I game at meme 3440x1440.

If you swap your board anyway, then Skylake should be a consideration. Although you may also need some new RAM, unless you get one of the boards with DDR3-compatibility. The choice is limited though.

my computer gets here next week, what games should i get?
already bought overwatch

I have an i7-6700k with 980ti. I'll go 1080 or better in a year or two.

Someone buy me a 1070.

Thanks.

Are you fucking kidding me user?

You literally bought a bottleneck. AMD cpus are absolute garbage.

And the 970 is worse than cards than just came out at the same fucking price point.

>6350
>3.5 in current season

You blew it :^)

At least he didn't buy an RX 480 with that CPU.

I fucking knew it, i knew the second i post my specs i was gonna get you elitist dickheads jumping on my shit.

The update already came out

I wouldn't laugh at you if you've gotten the 970 at under 200 bucks.

I purchased my 970 for the sole purpose of it being a transition card. Nothin is playable smoothly at 4k. I dont have a whd monitor, so no 1440p/120fps either.
A 970 will max out most games until 4k cards come out.

Buying a new monitor and a new card for sub 4k feels like a waste.

I don't wanna say, but these are all in kangaroo bux

shut the fuck up

I understand the whole Nvidia vs AMD thing.

Both sides have points, both sides have flaws.


But the Intel vs AMD thing baffles me. Completely baffles me.

user, you legitimately made some mistakes in your build. For example, an RX480 and 1060 are newer and outperform a 970 for within like 20-40 bucks of the cost.

You also bought a very slow CPU. Right now you'll have a bottleneck, where the nice card you bought will be held back by your CPU.

You also spent too much on a power supply, when a 600w would do FINE.

You also spent money on Windows, when you can get the OS for free and buy an activation key for less than 30 dollars.

what a garbage site. its telling me my ages old 6870 is almost as good as 970.

Post specs m8s. 2500k at 4.6.
1070 at +150/+400 stable at 2050mhz.

>Shitty purchasing decisions
>muh Etilism

The 6350 was a shitty choice even in 2013/2014, if anything you should've gone for the 6300 which is literally the same chip with a lower base clock and slightly worse binning. You've paid 30$ for a 200MHz higher overclocking range.

Nowadays, an i3-6100 is superior in pretty much any aspect.

The 970 also isn't a good choice over the 480 or 1060, unless you've got it for like 200$.

You're posting anonymously on an anonymous board and everyone will forget whatever you post 30 seconds after you do it. Why the fuck would you be all stingy and retarded about posting how much you paid for a video card?

>GPUboss

If you want muh comparisons, go with this: anandtech.com/bench/GPU16/1489

>fx 6350
did you go to Sup Forums or something?

I hope that 970 was really cheap and you didnt just miss 1060 and 480 being released.

You're fine, user. That will last you a good 2 or more years if you don't mind pushing your settings down to around medium in 2.5 years time. Don't let these faggots here say otherwise. You could be running two 980ti and these people would shit post about not having a 1080.

From a random person, youll do just fine bro.

The rest of his build is fucking fine.

Except he paid new prices for old gear that is worse than the new gear that costs the fucking same.

He also bought an AMD CPU before Zen.
>You could be running two 980ti and these people would shit post about not having a 1080.
No they wouldn't. Even dual 980s beat a 1080.

I didn't ask for your condescending opinion. Thanks for giving it anyway.

are you alright?

I've never said he wouldn't be fine, he just didn't make the best decisions and could've gotten more for his money.

If you have anything but a 980/980 ti, yes. It's time to upgrade your fucking toaster.

Canadian
hmm an i3 and it's around 200 here.

I'm going from 7970 to 1070

How bad are Skylake prices in Canada?

Because for 300 bucks you could get a 6600k and a cheap Z170. In US, I mean.

Well, it's $230 for the CPU and $150 for a board.
The problem is that us Canucks do get hit with something called tax when we shop online.
Here is BC we get cucked for 12% more on top. Not the worst.

>$150 for a board.
No sales? I see cheaper Z170 boards drop to mid 70s, 80s in US.

And I know your pain. WA has a 10% tax as well.

>The problem is that us Canucks do get hit with something called tax when we shop online.
>Here is BC we get cucked for 12% more on top. Not the worst.
I never understood this. Is it some additional tax on top of everything for just buying online?

I wanna upgrade from my 770
I just need more vram, graphics not as important as performance
is 970 the way to go, or 960?

Just tell me which 1060 to get. Should I get a more expensive model? From what I understand the more expensive models have been overclocked to run slightly better than the cheaper ones, and they feature better cooling.

No. We get charged provincial and/or federal sales tax for whatever it is that we buy. There's enviro fees and whatnot as well.

That sounds completely normal
I'm living in shithole of country in east eu. First we get fucked by prices being same as in USA, but in jewros.Then, we still have our national currency, which has exhange ratio 4:1jewro. Prices are 4 times higher, but most people work for 1.2k monthly. Everything has 7, 19 or 22% tax.

Is $180 a good price for a 960 4gb?
Or should i just wait for black friday?

i know that feel fellow BC bro

user next time check out whirlpool, they will stop you wasting your money on retarded shit.

Cheapest double fan model.

Factory overclocks are irrelevant because you can overclock the card yourself if you want, and they only give minor performance increases. 1060 draws so little power that the cooler isn't of that great importance.

Hmm. Try and see if you can get it down to below 160 bucks. You should stare closely between the 960 and the R9 280X. R9 280x bests the 960 in BF4 and it gets a major boost in Doom thanks to Vulkan.

I can just wait for sales but we don't get as many as them compared to the US.

Ok thanks.
The Palit Dual 1060 is the cheapest dual fan in my country, at 280 euros. I'm thinking about getting this one but I'm kinda waiting for more reviews. So far I've only found one (one) guy on YouTube who bought and reviewed this one.

4GB RX 480 goes for $200.

This is the difference between those two cards.

Answer should be obvious.

He's not thinking in USD.
He's thinking in plastic dollaroos there.
When he said $180, he meant about $140 murribucks.

oh fug, I ignored the previous conversation.
