I'm in desperate need of a new gpu, should I get a 1070 or wait for polaris/HBM2?

June 10th for GTX 1070, just wait
Logan Cox
The 1070's throttling issues will be the newest scandal since the 970's 3.5gb issue. The Nvidiots will defend it all day long. You're better off waiting for Polaris.
Hudson Gutierrez
Get the 1070.
Best bang for buck and best efficiency by far, I'd be surprised if AMD came anywhere near that level.
Cooper Green
>Polaris
Enjoy your mediocre performance.

HBM1/2 is overpriced and useless at this point...
Jason Carter
Wait for Polaris and then choose, don't be a retard
Gabriel Diaz
It's only got throttling issues so far because nVidia's reference coolers suck ass. They always have.
Samuel Cook
Okay. So nvidia WILL HAVE ISSUES and not meet expectations, they're jews, etc. but AMD promises the world and it's the new gospel.
I like both of them and hope they both thrive. You know. The whole competition thing. I really do hope all the extravagant, bullshit-sounding promises AMD is making are true.
Liam Cox
980 perf/watt levels, but not interesting for me, I need something for 4K survival. The 1070 has confirmed 2 MB L2.
>Implying AMD stock coolers are better
They are all shit.
Samuel Gutierrez
Polaris is a midrange GPU
Adrian Williams
Nobody can say for sure until a few hours when AMD has their official announcement of their new cards. And even that is not perfect, it could just be marketing hype like Nvidia's announcement. If you want to be super sure in your purchasing decision, wait until Polaris is actually out.
However, if it's super urgent just get the 1070. Polaris will probably be a while until you can get it in your hands (doesn't the NDA lift on like the end of June? So it has to release then or after then). Also Polaris will definitely be below the 1070 in terms of total performance because Polaris isn't trying to compete with the 1070/1080, so if you're in the $350-$400 price range just get the 1070.
Leo Roberts
I'm waiting for other contenders to break through the market, but seeing how Team Green and Red are so dominant already in the industry, we'll be on our hand and knees for them for years
Tyler Perry
We already know that two RX 480 for $200 each in crossfire are faster than a $700 GTX 1080.
Dylan Thompson
>crossfire are faster than a $700 GTX 1080
lol
Asher Wilson
>implying I was implying anything.
Yeah, reference coolers are shit. Wait until the custom boards come out, then we'll see what the 1080/1070 can really do.
David Gray
From leaks, I'm guessing? I'm cautiously optimistic about Polaris, but leaks also said that the 1080 ran ridiculously cool on air.
Liam Evans
You don't need a new GPU. Save your money and perhaps some day you will stop being poor and will actually be able to afford a new GPU whenever you want it.
Juan Rogers
get the rx 480 at $200, performance of a 390, total power draw of 135w at peak, it'll be out end of June or start of July
Joseph Ramirez
The 480 will be the equivalent of the 1060, you fucking retard.
Just like that 380 was the equivalent of the 960.
Dominic Bailey
nigga wait for Vega/HBM2
Jaxson Williams

Frustration intensifies
Matthew Fisher
I know that, so what? There's no reason not to wait
Noah Howard
One more day friend
I feel your pain, my 7850 is driving my insane
Michael Torres
If your budget is max $300, wait for Polaris.
If your budget is minimum $600, see if you can find a 1070 somewhere for sale.
Aiden Garcia
wait for polaris
summerfags back to Sup Forums
Daniel Morales
>I've literally been gaming on the integrated graphics in my computer while waiting for Polaris to be announced to decide between it or a 1070
It's much more capable than I thought, the HD530 in my i5 runs games better than an Xbox 360/PS3 in my experience. Those consoles are 10 years old obviously, but it's kind of a cool novelty to have that much power in the absolute low end graphics of today.
William Gray
Fuck off waitfag
Jace Turner
Yeah but PC games are even weakly less optimized just because of how many different configurations of parts there are. Integrated graphics are okay these days, but they won't run much.
John Wood
>AMD is always shit/disappointment
>summerfag
Go back on Sup Forums Roy.
William Sanchez
if the rx 480 is overclock capable, get it
if it can't, find a 1070
Matthew Scott
>AMD is always shit/disappointment
>being this new
wew lad summerfag confirmed
you have to be 18 or older to post here
Leo Cox
Well obviously, I'm just surprised that I can even run games that are a few years old. I didn't realize before that poorfags can probably easily get by on like an AMD APU.
Hunter Nelson
>summerfag
Only newfags call other peoples newfag...
Aiden Gray
g/ is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.
Carter Carter
>that frame design
I too worry about my GPU being detected by RADAR.
Hunter Edwards
Have you tried ignoring threads you don't like? A lot of us are making a decision like OP soon and it can't hurt to discuss it.
Nathaniel Torres

Why make something that's just going to sit inside your PC look this cool?
Chase Nelson
Quads speak the truth.
Stop trying to save a board that was never good in the first place.
Lincoln Hill

Luke Baker
You should wait for Vega.

TOPPEST OF KEKS
YOU A FUNNY MAN
Wyatt Mitchell
ayy lmao
Lincoln Rodriguez
980 performance with 130w @ $199
Two of them will be cheaper than a single 1070 and will be equivalent to 1080 or so.
Parker Rogers
>$379
>$400
>cheaper
You funny and very gud in math
Colton Ramirez
You do realise if you eradicated all tech support and consumer review type treads then most of the discussion on this board would be dead?
Jaxon Hernandez
My 290x Lightning died today, when are custom designed 1080's going to be available?
