ASUS 6GB 1060 TURBO IN SLI

Any reason why it's your pick?

no

ASUS GTX 1080 FE + Tesla C2075

Kek is thst bad?

>best
a pair of Titan X in SLI

>best for me
nothing - will keep my integrated GPU until my PC from 2009 dies.

Well egpu's are always an option

1060 or 470, as a temporary upgrade until HBM2.

1060 has no sli

the 1060 doesn't have SLI. It may only get some improvements in DirectX 12.

get the fuck out

I mean, it depends on what you're going for?

>full performance
Titan, obviously.

>price/performance
I'm leaning towards the 1070, while somewhat expensive, it dose manage most benchmarks very nicely and isn't as costly as a 1080

>best 'midrange'
Depends on the price of the 1060/480 and what type of games you play.

>has a 1080 MSI Armor because fuck it why not at only £570 just like 100~ish more than most 1070's

FX 5200

rx 480

>Most hyped
RX480

>The best price/performance
GTX1060

rx 480
the gtx 1060 is bad because of no SLI and zero improvements over dx12.

1060 is cheaper and better

Rx480 or gtx 1060?

I don't care about sli or dx12
so I guess that's good for me.

480 if botnet10, 1060 if no botnet10.

Anything less than a 1080 is pretty much a cuck card.

If you can't afford a 1080 or the newest Titan X, you should really just stick to consoles. PC gaming is just out of your price range.

REEEEEEEE

You don't need the latest video card if you've got lots of high speed ram!

I really like the fact that AMD dropped the DVI ports for the RX480, but I'll still likely end up getting a GTX1080.

Good thinking. 480's are frying motherboards left and right, and their performance is terrible.

>._.
Someone using ._. other than me. Man that's rare. I hope you live happily user.

._. I use it too

lol wut, a 1060 or 1070 is still a huge improvement over consoles

Same here ._.

Barely, and for the price??

Not worth it.

Trust me kid, stick to consoles, don't get a cuck card. You'll thank me later.

>1080
>Titan X
>cant even beat AyyMD's bad boy from last year
Anything lower than Radeon Pro is poorfag cuck tier.

>this is what poo lovers actually believe

Please, don't let you or someone you love buy poo products. It's not worth it.

1060 if you need performance now and/or CUDA, 480 if you need performance in a few years

But, it's a poo vs cuck choice

That's worse than getting both a high end GPU and integrated graphics

>bad because of no SLI
It's 2016, SLI is dead, it's only use is as a glorified decal

Fury Nitro, if you've got the case and PSU for it. They're going for RX 480/GTX 1060 money these days.

My 6700k's integrated graphics can handle overwatch better than my xbox one
>INTEL BEST GPU CONFIRMED

i love my rx 470

every day i hug my computer. it is make me happy when i play games. also go on Sup Forums and chat online.

i call him mr phantom since its a nzxt phantom 240

I also hug my AMD products in the winter

...

OP here, 3.5h have passed and this is the position so for

1. 1060
2. RX480
3. 1080

1060 is better if
>using any gnu/linux that isn't Ubuntu because no drivers is more than a meme right now
>you have a lousy processor because the 1060 performs better than the 480 with shit tier processors
>you have an affinity for the color green
>You have a mini itx case and every watt of heat counts or the low profile 1060 is the only thing that fits.

I wanted to be part of team red but ended up returning a 470 after the no drivers thing.

Nah.
1080 is a waste unless you're doing multimonitor setups or trying for 4k.
1070 is the high end sweet spot for 1080 or arguably 1440.
Whether the 1060 is worthwhile over a 480 or even a 390 comes down to individual games, or if you care about power draw and whether your computer can bake cookies.

OUTPERFORMS 1080 AT A FRACTION OF THE COST

I've never bought a graphics card around black friday or cyber monday, what is it like? Are there shortages? Truly good deals?

What card can do modern games at 1080p/144fps?
I've been thinking about getting a 144hz monitor.

GeForce 7950 GX2

Really Good Card I Reccomend It My Friend . . .

Wrong thread laddie

Why's that? Isn't this a general GPU thread?

Nein. It's a war for gpu supremacy.

I think the current best price to performance purchase regarding all metrics aside from VR gaming is grabbing an EVGA 980 Ti Hybrid for $350 or less regardless of whether it's new, b-stock, or secondhand.

If you push it to >1500 MHz, it'll be faster than any overclocked 1070 out there while also almost never exceeding 50c under load even in the summer given your case has good airflow. It's also dead silent if you replace the stock radiator fan with some nice Noctuas and with the updated shroud it's a pretty awesome looking card as well. I got mine for $400 around the time the Pascal cards first launched and I've only been seeing them get cheaper and cheaper as time goes on and unless you're heavily interested in VR it's imo the best GPU deal on the market especially if you're aiming for 144hz at 1080p or 60hz at 1440p.

Maxwell and Pascal are so similar architecturally that I doubt driver improvements will make much of a difference between the 980 Ti and the 1070. I feel that the GTX 11xx series are the cards that will be worth looking at, Pascal has been pretty underwhelming for everything aside from VR and maybe power efficiency.

1080 is perfect for a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor

>Radeon "Seismograph in a magnitude 8 earthquake" Pro Duo
Nah, CF has utter shit-tier support nowadays.

Just don't get the 64-bit one. 128-bit 128MB is where it's at. Excellent price/performance ratio

>Pascal has been pretty underwhelming
We haven't had a performance jump between generations as great as we've had with Pascal for 6+ years. I seriously doubt GTX 1100s will be 60-70% faster than Pascal considering they'll still be on the same production node. I'll be glad if a GTX1180 is even 40-50% faster than a 1080.

Any sub-$100 card (card, not onboard shit). Paying more than that for a fucking video card is an admission that you're a fucking stupid modern gamer playing shitty movie "videogames" that are barely games at all.

Better question to de-rail your thread is what's the best variant of the rx 480 right now?

That's a lot of assumptions to make from 3 words user. You're not upset are you?

Sub-$100 cards are worse than integrated graphics

I think you mean 1070. Only need 1080 for 4k or room heater.

I thought 1080s were better than titan x?

Not the 1070, thats for sure. Still mad that I got one.

Better than the old Titan x

Why?

there's a new one? why would they call it the same thing?

Because nobody in their right mind should be buying either one
Online you can search Titan XP or X(Pascal) for the new version

To trick people, he said, quite Jewishly.

The problem with pascal is all its improvements are from die shrink.

In terms of features it's a faster clocked Maxwell with shitty DX12 support and no ASYNC.

Just like Kepler and Maxwell, it will perform really well for 2 years and then you'll want to upgrade. Right now Maxwell is feeling the vRAM belt tightening and the negative scaling in DX12 right on cue.

You won't get higher than 60 at 1440p with a 1070. That's why it's such a cuck card. You need a 1080 to really take advantage of those high refresh 1440p monitors.

Because it feels like I overpaid for shit performance.

A new card every two years is more than reasonable. That puts you on a perfect upgrade path.

If you want quality, you have to expect to pay a premium. Just the way it works.

Some people will settle for mediocrity but I'm just not built that way.

480, 1070, 1080

Meh...for the price AMD is winning right now. The 1060 is nice but with no sli and less RAM I'd advise against it.

If you spend more than 300 on a gpu you're priorities are fucked.

I made the mistake of buying SLI 980's. I've got better performance than the 1080 but the 4 GB vRAM can really hold me back. Sometimes I think about trying to resell them to buy a 1080 but then I'd be losing 10% performance and getting a shitty card that will be garbage in a year or two anyway when DX12 takes off.

Every once and a while I think about posting them up for sale just to see if I can get a good deal on them. When I spend $1400 CAD on graphics cards I want them to damn well last awhile.

I never get below 80fps maxed out at 1440p with my 1070 most of the time it's well above 110fps

It has Async, it's just gimped. All the tests I've seen show the Pascal handling 32 concurrent tasks before it starts moving things into queue. An AMD card will handle concurrent tasks until the hardware is saturated.

Think of it like the X265 codec. If you PC can process a video in software, it has X265. If you PC has hardware X265, it has it too, but the dedicated hardware is much better at it.

So you are advising to do SLI with a 1060? Or SLI at all?

Sapphire nitro is best overall...but not enough to give a shit.

Asus strix is best for RGB lights and shit.

Power cooler Red devil for best looks without RGB lights.

If you like the stock blower style with backplate get xfx OC black.

And MSI makes a nice one too.

They all are overcooked and nice so it's more of an aesthetic choice honestly. If you don't give a shit about that get whatever's on sale. You'll be fine

The 1060 is not capable of SLI.

The 1060 CANNOT sli...like at all. So it's one less option you have. Its a shit card.

And it has less RAM in either config than the rx 480.

On it's own merits it's a good card but...it seems a bit gimped overall.

what games do you play?

and what settings?

1070 isn't going to scale as well on higher resolutions as the 1080 does, considering it's still using gddr5 memory. that's going to hurt it in the next year or two.

Should have asked the question here, I guess.

I'm trying to decide between the gtx 1060 6gb and rx 480 8gb as upgrades to my 560ti. Which one is better for 1440p at high-ish settings for newer games like Witcher 3? I don't really play too many games anymore, and my older ones will run (mostly) run above 60fps maxed out with 2x AA at 1440p on my 560ti. I need to upgrade for these newer games to run well now though, Dark Souls 3, Witcher 3, and Nier Automata and Mount and Blade Bannerlord when it comes out.

tl:dr:
RX 480 vs gtx 1060 for high-ish settings on 1440p?
I'm in the US btw, so the 1060 is $259 and the rx 480 is $269.

>Sapphire nitro is best overall
MSI is objectively superior to all models except for possibly the powercolor one if you're really into overclocking.

The 480. The extra memory is a big deal in higher resolutions, and you specifically mentioned new games, and the new APIs put the ball in AMD's court right now.

how much did you pay? I got mine for about $500 USD (actually not bad at all for my country) and it's handled pretty much everything I've thrown at it so far on near maxed settings

If you were expecting better than that you need to take a reality check imo, we're not going to see really competitive pricing at the top end (and even worse in overseas markets) until AMD gets their shit together

That's not the point
Are you advising to buy 2, $300 1060 and running them in SLI (if you could) over a single $600 card?

I play pleb games, RPG shit, war thunder, overwatch, not really demanding games but still. Much more than 60fps, and it stays good enough to make me not regret my 144hz monitor

I meant newer as in the last year or so. My 560ti has been really struggling with those games (witcher 3 and dark souls 3).

The only 'new' games I'm interested in are Nier and Mount and Blade, I don't think those are dx12.

i bought a 1070. I will use it for at least 10 years I figure.

1070 or step up to a 1080?
I have the money to buy it, but not a good reason to
I just wanna play new games in 1440p

1080 is too much for 1440p and too little for 4k.

1070 is better value.

I like my 1080. It's my first high-end card, and it feels good to play games in 4k on decent settings desu

1070 is enough for 1440p RIGHT NOW but for how long? if you have enough for the 1080 I'd spring for it

I've got a 1070 @ 1080p and I already have to turn a couple settings down from the absolute maximum in deus ex and fallout4 to keep a steady 60fps

That's the point isn't it, with the 1080 you should be able to max out any game in 1440p for a very long time to come.
