What graphics cards is Sup Forums currently using? I've been out of the loop for a while and don't know what's "in" at the moment.

I've just ordered pic related as it fits the budget I'm willing to spend (£270 new). How did I do?

you did good, i love you user

gtx 1080, bought 1,5yrs ago for 640€. It's holding up great.

you can't really do much wrong in terms of graphics cards, desu. As long as you dont buy blower style or mini type cards, you're fine. Also don't spend too much.
So yes you did OK.

GTX 1060 6GB. It's pretty good.

I bought mini 1050 ti from palit and it's fine. It was really cheap and is low power so I didn't have to upgrade psu

I bought a used GTX 980 two years ago and it still runs fine

GTX 1070 STRIX, wish I sorta wish got a RX 580

I'm so jaded I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or not. I've been here too long. sorry user

what sort of performance do you get out of your cards? I'm upgrading to the RX580 from a GTX670 so hoping it's a big improvement.

Is good. Play game fast.

I have an RX570 Nitro Plus, it smashes 100+ FPS at 1080p high/max settings in everything I've thrown at it except The Evil Within 2, which ran at 80 and PUBG because it's PUBG, you're a step up from me so I think you'll be pretty happy.

Mine Monero with that instead.

>Stuck at the stage just before new cards come out

But I want to upgrade now, hopefully some new cards may force prices down a little as the cryptocucks move on to them.

GTX 1080. It has coil whine that activates at weird moments (like main menu of a game) but I got it at a discount and I was sick of my garbage PC.

Holds really well, considering where I live 1070 is only slightly cheaper while 1080ti costs 30-40% extra.

...

I also get this with my 570, it's caused by games running at absurdly high framerates, like the 500+ fps range, I'd recommend enabling vsync or using a framerate limiter like RTSS, AMD has one built into the drivers now too.

>tfw want a 1070 or a 1080
>can't buy one until bitcoin crashes

I had a reference 1080 before. It was fine even with the blower style cooler.

I usually use an RX 480 but I also have a R9 380x, R9 270x and a 750 TI which I am currently not using for anything.

Sapphire 290 which is slightly weaker than your 580. Runs everyhting I throw at it at 1080p/60fps.
Only shit I can't max out is unoptimized garbage. Everything else runs at Ultra/High settings.
Not upgrading until I get a higher res monitor. Best card I've owned since the 9800 GT.

Here's what I have running at the moment

Why only 4.7 on your 8700k? I'm not big into overclocking but i managed to get 5.0 without issue

Because cooling. Only got a hyper 212 Evo and it's around 75° under load at my current settings.
Still way better than stock settings though.

Why aren't you at 20 C under load

Not that user but what case do you have?

Just got my gtx 1060 6gb

handles anything I throw at it at 2560x1080 just fine.

Buying a xx80ti when volta drops :^)

nitro r9 390x, currently in use as a heater since i'm not playing vidya anymore.

Did you overclock yours?

Vega 56, its really good especially once you dump AMD's underperforming drivers for the community made ones.

580 is still a really good card though, I'd thought about getting one but I had the good fortune of finding this card at MSRP and jumped at the chance.

I can't wait to get rid of my meme 970.

I bought this EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Superclocked Gaming ACX 3.0 video card the week it came out. I paid $470 for it on NewEgg.

pcpartpicker.com/product/63yxFT/evga-video-card-08gp46183

I have RX 480 8gb, should I upgrade and to what?

R9 390

still handles anything I throw at it on 1080p

I've had a gtx950 for a few years now and it's been absolutely fine for my needs

got it for 200 from Salvation Army brand new

>1080P
whats the point of having a 1080 if u gonna be playing at baby's first resolution?

There's certainly better GPUs you could buy, but there's nothing yet that would be a really worthwhile upgrade.

Only upgrade if/when you upgrade your monitor and your card can't keep up.

well you only have 1070 and 1080 (and ti variants) to choose from user. what else could you upgrade to?

I didn't even know community drivers were a thing. Are they really better than AMD's drivers? Can it fuck up my hardware in any way?

That hard drive is too cool for its own good.

It's a 144Hz monitor though. You need a good GPU to push all those frames, even at "only" 1080p.

I have a 780

I'm just waiting for Volta

Nigvidya can't let the 1000 series cards last for more than 2 years so my guess is that they're going to unveil the consumer cards sometime during GDC

Perfect timing since both Intel and AMD have released their new CPUs for 2018

>Asrock Extreme4
I like you nig

There's always new hardware about to be released.

I'm not buying 2016-2017 tech in 2018 while my PC is still fine

It cannot max out newer games anymore but I can live and wait for a couple more months

580 is as fast or faster than 1060. Plus you have 2gb more of VRAM. 580 is a pretty significant leap over gtx670.

You did good user.

Wait a bit longer for even faster CPUs and GPUs.

3.5 GB VRAM cripple.
Desperately waiting for a Vega 56 for since March 2017.

Didn't work out as planned.

>0.7*5.0 Ghz
ftfy

>I didn't even know community drivers were a thing.
They've been around for quite a while now, but its only in the last year or two that they really started to pass the quality and performance of the official driver. Now that they have though they just keep getting better.
AMD enabled their development by releasing detailed information about the hardware and by being forthcoming with firmware. The community drivers actually had better support for Vega on day one than AMD's own drivers and while AMD's driver has gotten better they've not caught up.

>Are they really better than AMD's drivers?
D3D9 and OpenGL performance is better than AMD's driver. OpenGL performance is actually 2-3 times faster in some cases its not even close.
Vulkan performance is about on par with AMD's driver, but its getting a lot of attention because Valve hired a bunch of devs to work on it and AMD's recent Vulkan code release should help.
D3D11 support is still lagging, and it probably won't get the same treatment that D3D9 did, but there's work ongoing to implement D3D11 generically on top of Vulkan which should produce similar end results.
So depending on what you typically play they're well worth using over what AMD offers.

>Can it fuck up my hardware in any way?
It won't void your warranty or make your card melt if that's what your'e asking.
In fact AMD now recommends their use and only regards their official driver as for professional applications.

MSI X GTX 1080
PC gaming just fucking sucks tbqh
I have spent >1400EUR and I can't get a good lock on 1080p res at 60 fps in half of games I play which is insane.
Oldrim? Dips to 35. Watch Dogs 2? Dips to 40. CoD WWII? Dips to 45. Fallout 4? Dips to 30. Wolfenstein II, GTA IV, V, The Witcher 3, The Sims 3/4, BioShock Infinite blah blah blah I can't remember them all.
And these games are all shit anyway but there's nothing else I can really play! All the good stuff doesn't even require a beefy PC. Or maybe the problem is the Ryzen CPU but at this point I'm just tired of all this tinkering BS. Consoles are x100000 better.

What?

Gtx 1080 and 1440p monitor

>or maybe the problem is the Ryzen CPU

If your CPU is at 100% and your GPU isn't, it's a CPU bottleneck and vice versa. It's not rocket science to figure that shit out. At 1080 the 1080 should be just fine though.

But user, you can push 144 FPS 1080p with a GTX 1070. I know because that's my rig.

>single channel RAM
This is the brainlet filter.

I'm not a fucking retard. Maybe I'm too sensitive for VSYNC lags
/tearing/streaming issues. Buy this, buy that, buy a GSYNC monitor. $1400 PC isn't a meme after all.

>tfw you have too much money and still are retarded to not understand which useless setting to turn down

I have silky smooth 60 fps in both fo4 and witcher3 with a 970.
dont run msaa 8x, and they still look great.

Гтх1070

>Vsync

That explains the dips to 30/45.
I'm only using g-sync screens so I forgot about the dips

2GB 770, waiting for Volta to get whatever the 1080/1080ti equivalent is.

1070 because im not some poor brazilian tier shit muncher who cant afford an 8gb card. 1080ti coming in the mail

>midrange card
>not poor

:^)

The IQ differences are always jarring if you do that
FO4 dips in dense areas no matter what because Todd
Yeah, probably, stupid goy

...

anything without 8gb vram is poor. anybody without 32gb of ram is poor. if you dont have 10gbs of ssds you are poor. deal with it brazilian

1080 strix and its great

...

Interesting, good to hear. Too bad this can't be fixed via Nvidia control panel. I'm not downloading "Experience" because it blows so I'll look into a different program.

Nvidia Inspector is what you want. Let's you change more settings than the control panel.

I have a laptop with gtx 1070. It may not be the greatest, but it can max out all games with 100+ fps average. Good enough imo.

Does anyone even remember the Vega at this point?

GTX 980. I'm thinking of getting a 1070ti but I will probably regret it if the next generation comes out next year.

...

Why would you do this, it's so much cheaper to just buy a GPU die cooling block from ebay for $15 and some aluminum heatsinks.

Went from a 660ti to that card OP, it's pretty nice.

Memevidia 970 but it's ok because it can play everything i tried at max setting and good fps

>Sapphire then
>Grils
>Sapphire now
>Mechs
What happened?

The perfect card for 1440p gaming at high frames.

why? doesnt the 1070 outperform the 580

thestreet.com/story/14434679/1/amd-faces-a-bumpy-road-amid-moves-by-nvidia-and-intel.html

If AMD can't beat the Volta, eventually there won't be an AMD.

Did they get rid of nu-Ruby too?

lol do you think bitcoin is the only thing people mine

my undervolted 1080ti is going strong. need a new psu

Disagree, the world is moving away from discrete graphics. Nvidia is the one that risks being shut out, at least from the x86 market.
AMD is very well positioned with the Raven Ridge chips especially given Intel's recent crash.

>1070
>mid-range

The 580 is equivalent to a GTX 1060, why would you want something slower?

As for myself, upgraded to an MSI 1080ti Gaming X back in August, was using an R9 390. Was nervous about spending so much on a GPU but the performance doesn't disappoint.

this bad boy here
haven't opened him yet, waiting for motherboard

I have the exact same card and it's awesome. I got it when it came out too, so I can laugh at all the miners paying $400+ for them.

Depends on the silicon lottery here, if you get AMD you're gonna wanna tweak that shit because AMD defaults suck dick.

1060 < 580 < 1070 < Vega 56 < 1080 < Vega 64 < 1080ti

So yes, but its not that huge of a difference and I can see reasons why people would want to make that switch. At least if you're looking at running GNU/Linux instead of Windows thanks to the superior drivers.

ok guys no memes or bait here
i want to wait until volta for a proper GPU upgrade but dont want to spend more than 200€ on a gpu atm to enjoy games at 1080p, i have a gtx660 oc and im looking to buy pic related , im a fine with 1080p?

just fucking wait.

Medium settings at best.

buying anyhting more than a 1060 is retarded

>1060 < 580
memes

Got a GTX1070 around this time last year. Still works a dream, and I'm glad I just barely missed the price hike on RAM too.

I think the 1070 is still a great bang4buck card, even now. I've no interest in getting a 1070ti either, as I'm running 1080p.

Just wait, Volta/Ampere will be happening reasonably soon and you could probably get a good deal on some EOL products as interest in Pascal wanes.

>Vega above anything
