now that the dust has settled(excluding the evga fire shitstorm), is pascal worth buying? If I could get a gtx 1080 for around $450-$500...i should go for it right this black friday?

>Nvidia prices

I'm not even a poorfag, but what the hell with the prices in Europe ? fuck Nvidia

An they release shitty drivers now, that's a shame

>not waiting for the GTX 1080ti
>not waiting for Volta
Don't do it. You will regret it down the line.

What if I buy a 1050 budget shit and upgrade once volta is out?

That is a smart move. Get a GTX1050ti(will keep you over water easily) or a RX460 2gb(have seen the go for sub 100) or go for a 750ti(price dropped hard)

Buy it, Goyim!

Depends on what you currently have I guess and if you desperately want to spend money.

they will announce it, but the first consumer gpu using it is for the next gen.
they did the same shit with maxwell.

you'll end up waiting forver with this mentality.

I want to buy a 1070.

Is MSI a good choice? It has a dragon on it

EVGA can fuck right off, I'm not sure about Asus and Gygabyte, everyone else seems kind of shady

The 1080ti doesn't seem that far away I think and the wait will be worth it

Good fucking luck.
I always try my luck with Cyber Monday and always find things marked up then discounted so they're sale at original price.

There is a good time to buy and a bad time to buy.
Right now they are selling midrange GPUs like the 1080 for $600 because the high end GPUs of this gen aren't available yet. In 6-12 month they will rebrand it 1160 or 1170 and sell it for $300.
1080ti will be obsolete just as quickly.

>dude just keep le waiting
>in 3 years GPUs will be more powerful

I have a 660 and all you waitfags are stupid shitters

>450$
I would buy it for that price, paid 750$ for mine 3 months ago.

That shit is super illegal, report the retailer to your country's/state's consumer protection dept.

>consumer rights
>in the US of A

bwahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhaah

What games are you going to play with it?
The card is not a problem, the problem is - there is no fucking games to play. List em for me please.

Wait for Volta

Pascal was a shameless cashgrab

That's why I picked up a cheap 970 before Pascal dropped

battlefield 1, titanfal 2, dishonored 2?

...

Oh boy, more shitty rehashes.
Can't wait to play the same games for the fiftieth time.

If you want to play console ports why don't you just buy a rope and kill yourself?

Poorcunt using the jew excuse as he has to buy fucking shit gpus.

I bought 2 of them

Hey look its one of those ones who likes only cartoony jap pedo porn games & asks for a list of games someones going to play then acts like a twat

You don't need 2 of them, you can give me the spare one

>Pascal was a shameless cashgrab
This is the most retarded meme.

The fucking xx70 cards are more powerful than the 1000 dollar flagship of the previous gen and the XX60 cards were more powerful than the top-tier last gen.

Pascal was a massive fucking improvement.

Choices of PC are pretty limited. You have console ports, indie shit, kikestarter CRPGs and f2p MMOs
>muh master race

No

dont buy evga they will literally burn up or sound like a jet plane

im serious they forgot to use thermal pads so components arent connected to the heatsink

>NVIDIA
Enjoy upgrading again in 2 years time.

>Pascal was a massive fucking improvement.
Not really

No full direct x 12 support, no hbm2, poor async and the list goes on

The REAL improvement will come with volta

Pascal in reality was massive improvement in mobile gpus only

Would I be better off getting a 1070 until something new comes out?

Depends on what you have and what you want to do

1070 is overkill for 1080p at 60fps

If you're sticking with 1080p just go with a non-reference 480.

Anything more expensive isn't really worth it considering most of the games are console multiplats.

>1080ti will be obsolete just as quickly.
So what you're saying is literally there are not good times to buy because everything becomes obsolete within 6-12 months.

Thanks professor economics.

The ti specs that have been talked about on the net are fucking awful. Its not a decent jump up as nivdia dont want to stop sales of the titan and 1080.
So yeah its not worth waiting.

You have 2 user?? as he was talking to me.
see

>being poor

I've got my old 980Tis kicking around in the garage somewhere and I'm not even gonna bother trying to sell them because it's too much of a hassle. That's how much I care. Stay mad :)

How many BJ's did your dad have to claim from you to get them cards?

What about 1080p at 120fps

That's a really creative comeback, sure showed me.

I've been waiting for the 2080ti since the 600 series. Get with it plebs

>I'm not even a poorfag, but what the hell with the prices in Europe ? fuck Nvidia
The funny thing is, while PlayStation got cheaper (saw 199 € offers already), GPU prices are completely through the roof now.
So I jumped ship this year.
>An they release shitty drivers now, that's a shame
Also because Intel locking Xeon E3 out of desktop mainboards. I'm never upgrading my desktop ever again. That ship has sailed, goodbye "enthusiast" market!

Get one, don't listen to this guy there is something called frame-time that is now a better measurable way to determine how good a card is. 1070 is good across all games and the higher the FPS the lower the lag you will get between frames.

Not really I paid less than £1000 for both my 1080s

>paid less than £1000 for both my 1080s
QED.
I less than that for 50 games instead.

Welcome to the real world.

I bought mine 1070 for 12,000 CZK which is approx 470 USD.

I wont tell you what other stuff I bought too then

I have an after market 1070 with a giant 2.5 slot cooler, I can set it to 108% power target and it never goes above 70c in Australia at ambients of 33. For reference my r9 290 regularly hit 90 in ambient temps of 16. Nvidia cost a lot because its the best.

>PlayStation got cheaper (saw 199 € offers already)
Those are PS4 slim offers. Shops fear that nobody is gonna buy a PS4 slim now that the PS4 pro is out.

High-mid range cards are always in a bad position like that, so arguably you should only ever buy mid range like the 1070

If you want high-mid while it's actually still high-mid, you will pay a premium price, because it's a premium product

By the time 1080 is $300 it will just be mid range

1080 thread?

Hell yeah, who />2000MHz/ here?

It's funny Nvidia gets the wrap for hot running cards when AMD cards run consistently hotter

Do you have 4k display?
If not forget about it. Also if you consider high-end hardware you probably should not be concerned with prices in the first place.

actually the 1080 isnt great for 4k.
I play in 144hz 1440p and its good for that .

So is this b8? People don't actually buy that brand do they? Are you trying to blow up your computer?

The point is, everything above 1060 is overkill for 1080p

I'm not op but is a 1080 good for 1440p? I wanna max everything out for a few years. I have a 6700k cpu if that matters

Like this user already said, the GTX 1070 & 1080 are meant for high resolutions above 1080p and max. settings. If you can afford a GTX 1080 go for it, it's a beast.

>I wanna max everything out for a few years
With quality of ports recently I doubt it is possible. Wait for DX12 if you want future proof.

Is that pistol to shoot yourself in the head when your whole house burns down in a GPU fire?

Tho if I'm gonna stay at 1080, should I go with the 480 or a 1060? I'll be upgrading from a 6950 2gb so either way it'll be a big change

It is pistol to defend yourself from AMD peasants who will try to sneak into your house at night and steal your great video card to replace their crap.

Fuck that, thats like waiting for Godot.
Dx12 is a mess. bf1 showed that when amd and nvidia both had serious issues with it.

If I understand it right, DX12 allows for low level hardware access and therefore at least gives a CHANCE those ports will be good. With current API hell it simply become impossible to properly port console games to PC.

dx12 is a mess because devs are too lazy

That's stupid logic, unless you know the new card's release date is literally a couple weeks from when you want to buy just go ahead and buy a card. There's always going to be the next best thing on the horizon, if you keep waiting you're never going to have a computer

again fucking Sup Forums go back to ur shitboard

yep, lets have another retarded e celebrity thread instead

I bought the MSI 1060, it's been great so far for the 3 months I've had it. Super cool and quiet under load.

still better then speecy lebit or best shitcard in existance rly go to Sup Forums faggot 100 threads like this in 1 day

>500$ for a GPU
Where did everything go so wrong?

You being a poor cunt.
Fucking bet you wouldnt spare a thought to spunking that on a shitty iphone.

I bought a brand new Gigabyte 1080 extreme for around $525 because I had a bunch of promo codes

It's a really good card and over clocks like a champ

>You being a poor cunt.
Wasting thousands of dollars on worthless PC desktops is what poor people do.

different user here, but i have a $200 android phone (honor 5x) that i got because i didn't want to get fucked in the ass by pricing.

thats not how it works.
the 1080ti is a definitive must buy, then you are good for the next 5 years again.
if my 780TI wouldnt have died 2 days ago i wouldnt had have to buy a 1070 , i skipped the 900 and non ti 1000 series just for the 1080ti, and would have skipped the next 2 generations again until theres another ~50% performance leap which would justify a new card. buying cards for 15% performance leaps is borderline retarded, thats why you should wait.

>the 1080ti is a definitive must buy,
For which games?
>then you are good for the next 5 years again.
You mean 18 months, when Gimpworks obsoletes your now outdated card again.

nah, it's an overpriced bullshit

>own 1070
