Official Thread #055: The "Ten Eighty" Edition


Good Morning,

This thread is to consolidate graphics card and display technologies discussion to reduce unnecessary thread clutter on Sup Forums. Let's also keep the shilling to a minimum, no-one fucking cares.


Direct any and all questions regarding Graphics Cards and Display Adapters here first, including purchase and sale questions:

For non-related questions, link to find the stupid questions thread:

Support questions should be directed to as per Sup Forums's sticky. Or just fucking Google it instead of shitposting.

The GTX 1080 and its reviews are released tomorrow.

In the news:
>DOOM has a suspicious lean towards Nvidia in its benchmarks. The culprit seems to be the game defaulting to OpenGL 4.3 instead of the more efficient 4.5 no matter which settings when running with an AMD display adapter:

1080 reviews when?

Polaris reviews when?

Upgrading my R9 280x DC2

I fell for the 6700k meme and sold my 2500k sandy bridge. So my 6700k needs a decent GPU.

Fanboys aside.

1080 (Ti)?
or buy Polaris / wait for Vega?

It's the fucking same story EVERY FUCKING YEAR. HELP ME

Should I sell my R9-290 for $289 and get a GTX1070 for $435?

How do you plan on getting $289 for a 290? You can buy them new for less

Do we have any performance numbers for Polaris 11 yet?

>Budget crown:
>AMD RTG Radeon R9 380X

GTX 1050 soon...

youtube.com/watch?v=MzpQuGIDvwQ

>mfw nvidia

>GTX 1050 soon.
>soon
In a year, maybe.
We'll have the r7 470 in just a couple of weeks and it'll deliver GTX 970 performance for half the price.

So is the difference between the 1070 and 1080 going to be noticeable?

Also, anyone else own the Dell UltraSharp 34" and care to comment on it?

Watched that.... fuck Nvidia Marketing.

It's just a bumped Maxwell. I don't mind that, but they have to sell it like that then.

But Adored is a major AMD fanboy.

hes obviously touched.

Lets talk about this video instead

>Pascal came out of nowhere
>Volta is still the real next gen card
Why are nvidia blowing their load early?

>High end game pc
>includes 980Ti

Yeah... great fanboy :)

he shills AMD all the time in his videos. But even an AMD fanboy couldn't pick the fury over a 980ti.

Can't wait for 1080ti + Dell P4317Q combo.

Oh wow. Might be going AMD then since they will release their budget cards earlier.

Also, if the 470 might be in 970 performance, how bout the 1050?

>1080 reviews when?
Tomorrow. I already said this in the OP

>Polaris reviews when?
The launch date for Polaris will be announced at computex, also said in the OP

>1080 (Ti)?
>or buy Polaris / wait for Vega?
Vega and the Ti will both probably be very nice. But its all rumor for now.

Yes

No. Rumors say Polaris will probably be a laptop part though. Low tier cards will more than likely be small Polaris 10.

Get that shill shit out of here. AdoredTV is sensationalist fucking cancer. Nice trips though.

It'll be the same as the 980 and 970 were.

I live in Eastern Europe and cryptocurrency miners are willing to pay a premium.

>It'll be the same as the 980 and 970 were.
I never looked into them, to be honest, friend. Care to expand on that?

>mfw just bought a 390 2 days ago
>hasnt even arrived yet
WELP
E
L
P

Shits overpriced here anyway

The real /gcg/ approved item would be a $450 980ti from eBay

>GTX 1080
>256-bit memory bus
>Barely 20% faster at 4K than 980 TI
Nvidia are finished

>buying videocards used
NOPE
>64rops
>Driver extenetions and no hardware a sync scheduler
Its literally a 1080p memecard it still sucks at 4k

Whats the point of blazing fast 1080p when 2560x1440 and 4k performance fucking suck ass?

30 MINS

>It's the fucking same story EVERY FUCKING YEAR. HELP ME
i'm still using a gtx780, desperately need to upgrade now that gimpworks is turning everything to shit

was about to buy a 980ti a couple months ago until i saw all the "new shit soon" launch rumours

There is no point to that card. It's overkill for 1080p and way too weak for bigger resolutions.

About ~20-25% difference in performance. If Nvidia doesn't fuck up the 1070 like last time.

The guide isn't deal specific, only normal RRP. And the /gcg/s choice is based off board interest, nothing more.

Explanation is in the sticky. Which I now realised isn't in the OP.

pastebin.com/GKpypK28

Hello

I have a w5000

WELCUM

Hello friend
There is going to be quite some difference. I'd still suggest 1070 since the 1080 seems to be the next nvidia memecard.

Thanks friends. I'm leaning to the 1070, just because I usually don't do AAA titles, but didn't know if it was a stupid investment that's going to be obsolete in a year or two.

Which is hilarous considering it supports 8k@60hz

its like saying a car 'supports' 200mph but only goes 100 because its underpowered as fuck

Guess we will be all waiting until 2018 for 'new' cards that arnt retreads

what is the best power per cash laptop GPU?

1070 is just going to be 980ti but worse famalam.

>if it doesn't do it at max settings, that performance literally does not exist
turn down the graphics settings you fucking faggots.

>But even an AMD fanboy couldn't pick the fury over a 980ti.

10 MINS

I'd probably suggest against the 1070 then. Its probably going to be a ripper of a card, but if you're not playing AAA's, then some budget/mainstream card will probably do you better.

Maybe wait and see what AMD offers for their cards. Polaris will allegedly be under $299 and perform as well as a 390 with less than half the power consumption.

To each their own though. I'll wait for Vega before I make my choice.

No-one knows, cause gayman laptops a meme. If I had to guess, I'd probably say it would be either the 970M or 980M.

>not a 3D designer
>buys a GPU instead of just using iGPU/APU

only children play games

you just waste your time and money

>is on Sup Forums
>talks about wasting time

I'm getting paid for this since I'm lurking in job

>This fucking chart.

I'm an AMD fuckboy, and it embarrasses me whenever someone posts this. Please stop.

I shouldn't say AAA is out of the question. I'd like to try a few out on the horizon, but they just aren't my bread and butter. I most enjoy wargames and the occasional Company of Heroes / Men at War / Squad / ARMA so there is a need for a GPU, and I'm making a new tower from scratch, so I wanted everything to be as "future proof" as possible for the next say 4-5 years. It seems that in any case the 1080 is indeed beyond my scope.

Even the Nvidia paid videocards site has it over the 980ti

5 MINS

1070 it is then.

>AMD graphs
>Then synthetic benchmarks.

Please stop. It's a good card, but no way in hell I'd buy a Fury X over a 980Ti today.

5 minutes for what?!

?

was browsing around and found an interesting recent amd hire

Could someone suggest a non-meme GPU that would pair with my 4570, ensuring that neither are a bottleneck?

Like to replace my GTS250 at some point...

ITS OVER AMD IS FINISHED

Do you really need 8x AA on 4k?

1 MIN

>1.6ghz on stock clock
>1.8ghz overclock

I would like to see how well it fair against an overclocked 980ti since what Nvidia did is essentially pushing the clock on the higher side of the spectrum to widen the gap.

DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW

Newer Card is better.... Please fuck of back to >Sup Forums

...

Yup, it is waste of time and money, but you can't always be doing something productive.

Gaming is just way to spend your downtime, when you are exhausted and you want to lull.

>4k gaming
>relevant
Pick one and only one.

Tested on AOS, but when you check the AOS Leader board site the GTX1080 is not listed.

ashesofthesingularity.com/metaverse#/ladders/benchmark/overall/Crazy_4k?viewType=myself

>overclock3D
Stop posting this shill site

Nvidia didn't even send them a 1080 to review.

Bretty gud performance for $699 card.

But muh async

source?

NVIDIA IS FINISHED!

Can you see a review on there or a video from them on youtube? If they had one fro review the review would be posted now.

Ayy.

AMD is done for good!

This is the only good benchmark yet

I can believe this!

>Delusional Nvidicuck denying all benchmarks that show the 1080 for the shit card it is
Typical

When does the 1070 come out again and what's the anticipated price point at time of sale?

no one is allowed to release preformance spec's untill the 1080 is realeased for sale. Why do you think their is no real benchmarks yet. People would be canceling their pre orders. I wish you guys would learn basic marketing.

Look at this video starting for the 3:00 minute mark.
twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-computer-hardware/episodes/363

>all benchmarks that show the 1080 for the shit
Can you show me these benchmarks?

sause?

I said that was the only good benchmark
Meaning that the rest are shit

Jesus christ

Reviews are out.
Seems like a normal progression from one generation to the next. Nvidia lied again.

>no one is allowed to release preformance spec's untill the 1080 is realeased for sale
Have you not seen the reviews for the 1080 on every single tech website right now?

>no one is allowed

overclockers.ru/lab/76273/obzor-i-testirovanie-videokarty-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080.html

Here is some Ruskie website for u with tests and shit

youtu.be/Vm6kiLG1dTw im not a nvidia card owner but how much increase do 980tis get in performance from 1200 to 1550mhz? I had hoped the 1080 would get more performance from stock clock to 2100mhz+

1.6ghz (excluding boost) to 2.1 isn't really that much of a leap.

Guys the videos are up... Pauls, awesomesauce, gamers nexus + more

Where have you been? This happened 30 mins ago.

>hotter than Fury/Nano/FuryX
>Founder edition cooler is good guys
>its worth they extra money guys

Nobody has been talking about it here... I've already watched 3 videos.

about 8% performance boost, overclocking is useless on this card.

Point proven, enjoy your click bait.

>Point proven
What point are you trying to prove?

Review NDA was up 40mins ago, all tech sites across the web have videos and reviews up.

only complete nvidiot fanboys will buy these

hopefully the 1050 60 and 70 are good

It's fucking over. Nvidia won. AMDpoors are utterly blown the fuck out. The 1080 is 20% better than a 980 ti and AMD can't even compete. Fucking laughable.

so, what do you guys think?
Is it worth it or is 980Ti still card to get?

>maxwell with a higher clock

this is so revolutionary. still no hw async though.

guru3d.com/articles-pages/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-review,1.html

>AMPajeets BTFO

Lel. Seeing what a big disappointment the 1080 turned out to be, the new Polaris cards might actually manage to match the 1070 in performance as long as AMD really did improve their architecture as much as they've been bosting, even if the Polaris chip is smaller.

Lol and overclocking virtually does not give a performance boost on these cards

Yea, no.

m-muh faster than SLI 980s...

Polaris is going to be the budget crown bruh, Nvidia is only focusing on high end this round

>Seeing what a big disappointment the 1080 turned out to be
Do you really think so? I'm an AMDpoor but I was actually surprised at some of the gaming results, like especially the AotS results on Tom's shillware.

youtu.be/MzpQuGIDvwQ

Pascal is literally a stopgap, why do Nvidia fanboys love being jewed so much?
