Should I get 2 GTX 1080s in SLI or one GTX Titan XP? I was thinking the 1080s because 1. Its much faster and 2. Any game that doesn't support SLI won't need more than a single 1080 anyways. Any support will be welcomed.

What do you even want this for? 4k@60fps?
Jason Reyes
The GTX 1080Ti that comes out soon will have the performance of a Titan XP at the current cost of a single GTX 1080.
But really anything bigger than a RX 480 8GB is a huge waste of money considering how fast Nvidia GPUs lose value.
Benjamin Sanders
I'm upgrading from integrated graphics to GTX 1050 Ti.

SLI is a meme and most of the time it's not being fully used.

was about to pick up the first one but I dont even know what zotac is so Im not sure how reliable it is
Levi Myers
Get the one by gigabyte. It'll have better cooling.
Mason Ortiz
seriously wait if thats the case
hbm2 is when id personally jump onto the 4k wagon
Andrew Lee
There is a R9 fury for $260 with a $20 rebate on newegg. I got one, will be a massive upgrade to my 750ti, and its almost as good as a 1070 so I am happy.
Carson Johnson
alright, sounds good, thanks

Anyone who criticizes you for spending as much as you think you need for gaming is retarded.
It's supposed to be $800-$900. Which again means I can only get 1. I need 1440p 144fps in every game I play, which the single 1080ti will be incapable of doing.
Caleb Anderson
>The GTX 1080Ti that comes out soon will have the performance of a Titan XP at the current cost of a single GTX 1080.
that's wishful think from someone who's only been paying attention since the last generation.
Nvidia panicked over Fiji and make the 980 Ti a pseudo-Titan, which never was the case before and won't happen again since Vega's general specs are known so far in advance.
The 1080 Ti is already confirmed to be a heavy binned TXP/GP102, with 10GB/320b GDDR5X and a lot fewer ALUs. It'll be closer to midway between a 1080 and TXP.

Joshua Gutierrez
Does the 780 have the 3.5g ram problem like the 770?
Jack Ortiz
In retrospective, I really don't remember why. What did AMD do that was remotely threatening?
Mason Stewart
I was thinking about this too, and I'll be getting two 1080s. It's the only way to get over 60 FPS in AAA games and will be for at least next six months.
>HBM2
Volta is at least a year away
Jacob Campbell
I actually came here searching for thoughts on the 1050ti, worth an upgrade from 560ti? for gaming obviously...still using a 2500k.
Would appreciate input
Elijah Turner
Fiji looked like a monster with 4096 ALUs and 500 GB/s bandwidth, but nobody assumed that AMD would need to skimp on geometry and rasterization and would only get ~2/3rds of HBM's theoretical throughput.
Similarly, Vega has the potential to cream the 1080 Ti and edge out the new Titan X, but only if they don't have anemic fixed function unit capacity again.

Nathaniel Watson
What kind of single card would I have to get in order for it to be significantly (say, by like 50%) faster than my current cards, a pair of GTX 680s in SLI?
Benchmark sites generally only compare current hardware to other current hardware and to the previous generation of hardware, not stuff that's from 2011.
William Watson
SLI sucks and 680 sucks. A fucking 970 destroyed your shit in 2014
Noah Perez
this. A RX 480/GTX 1060 would be consistently and noticeably faster, and a GTX 1070 would utterly rape your current setup.
Camden Nelson
is this true because of or in spite of concerns around imperfect scaling with SLI?
Angel Brooks
Cheapest latest gpu?
Is there more cheaper than powercolor 100 usd Rx 460.
Does reference rx 460 exists?
Mason Wilson
>is this true because of or in spite of concerns around imperfect scaling with SLI?
A little of both, but mostly the latter.
> 680 - 32 GP/s, 129 GT/s, 4 GTri/s, 192 GB/s, 3 TFs
> 970 - 59 GP/s, 109 GT/s, 4.7 GTri/s, 196 GB/s, 3.5 TFs
> 1070 - 72 GP/s, 181 GT/s, 10.5 GTri/s, 256 GB/s, 5.8 TFs
In particular, Nvidia raped every non-Maxwell owner by ramping up tessellation and rasterization capacity and then pushing abuse of the geometry pipeline via TWIMTBP.
Henry Clark
Can someone tell me how fast high-end GPUs get cheaper?
Austin Kelly
ASUS 1060 TURBO 6GB for $250 with $30 mail in rebate
OR
GIGABYTE1060 Windforce OC 3GB for $200
Which is the better deal? Will game, but don't play tons of games right when they come out.
Also, will a blower fan be louder than an open air GPU? Only ever used open air.
Nicholas Gonzalez
FACT: if your graphics cards fans EVER stop spinning during operation it WILL fry the fuck out of the graphics card
Anthony Ward
they only really drop when a new generation or competition springs up, so not very.
For example:
> No AMD card faster than RX 480 in 2016 = up-clocked and die-shrunk 970 selling for $450.
> AMD scheduled to release a 4k shader + HBM monster? 980 Ti sold for $650, fucking 980 and Titan X users raw.
Brayden Brown
my 7870 just died today. is the 480 still the price/performance king?
also is it worth going 8gb over 4gb
James Brooks
Looking to upgrade my build with a GTX 1070, but am unsure of what kind I should get. I won't be doing any overclocking. I'm thinking about either the EVGA SC or the Gigabyte G1.
Please help me decide and tell me why you think certain cards are better. I'm at a complete loss.

I'm going to be doing 1080p gaming on a 60hz monitor but might upgrade in the future. Also not sure if my case has enough room for a 1070 but I'm like 95% sure it does.

never get SLI
titan x is more than enough for 1440 gaming.
Isaac Murphy
>have gtx 770 sli rig

Dylan Long
I've only watched one video on the 1050ti and it seems a very decent budget card for 1080p. It would be a very significant upgrade from a 560. However, look up a few benchmarks yourself.
I would recommend getting the 1050ti, a 560 is old trash. You also might wanna look into the RX 460.
Elijah Wright
I'm kind of in the same boat as you. If you don't plan to OC it then I'd look for the cheapest one available (even reference design is okay).
ebay.com
This triple fan Zotac model on Newegg's Ebay Store is $345.
John Clark
470 4gb or 480 8gb?
is there a huge difference between the two for 1080 gaming?
cant decide which one to get. every penny counts but I want max settings @ 60fps
Dominic Cruz
There's gotta be something wrong with it for it to be that cheap.
Chase Watson
thinking of upgrading my gt 430 for this, ive seen a few bad things about EVGA heating up too much though. Is that still the case with this card?
bhphotovideo.com
Brandon Harris
Description says they are new.
Zachary Moore
get the 6GB
also give links to the cards
Lincoln Jackson
So i missed out on a black Friday deal on a RX 470 due to procrastination and bad phone signal.
So i guess my best option is to kick back, save up and actually buy something decent in a few months since it was going to be a placeholder for a high end upgrade later next year anyway.
Jack Sanders
What type of rx 470 should I get? Also, how is my list?
Xavier Rodriguez
XFX, MSI or Sapphire are the 3 to get i think
Angel White
Ud prob be fine with a 4gb 480, just be aware some games are pushing higher vram, mostly due to bad optimization tho
Ryan Jenkins
>what is throttling
Ethan Morgan
Help me choose
newegg.com
Also why is the FTW edition on Amazon cheaper than the SC? Also, why is the Black Edition cheaper than the SC?
Elijah Reed
Why not get a xfx 480 instead? Will save you an upgrade for $20 more, plus they make the best AMD cards. Rest of the build is well balanced, but I'd swap the PSU for a Seasonic S12II unless you also plan to upgrade that soon anyway.
Dylan King
Get a z170 board with a bios capable of over clocking the 6400. They get to 4.3ghz+. Pretty massive increase in performance
Luke Phillips
Evan Johnson
just spent 400 (canadabux) on a 8gb 480. should i have gotten a 4gb for 50-100 less?
did i just waste a ton of money
Lucas Sanchez
I've never heard of xfx. Are they reliable? I read that msi has a good cooler
z170 is a bit too much, i'm already going over my budget as is
Zachary Mitchell
They can be had for like $90 and you literally be getting like a 40% faster cpu. BLCK over clocking turns the 6400 into a 6600k. Trust. Make it happen some how
Thomas Harris
i hope you ordered the 6GB before it went out of stock
Anthony Wilson
Anyone else comment on this? How are blower fans in terms of noise?
Xavier Richardson
Thinking of getting the EVGA SC 1070. I've heard bad things about the supposed thermal issues but I've also heard that they've been largely resolved now. In the worst case scenario, I'd just have to get the thermal pads and apply them, pretty easy I'm assuming?
Also, I won't do overclocking or anything like that, just gaming for the most part.
Was also looking at MSI but have heard that EVGA's customer support is superb and MSI's not so much.
Easton Nguyen
A single 1080ti can do that, in fact it'll do it a hell of a lot better than a single 1080 or two 1080s on the 15% of games that support SLI
Joshua Green
>incapable of doing
My 1070 does it
Logan Perez
R9 Fury or 8 GB 480 for 1440 60 hz weekend warring?

How worried do I need to be about 4 GB of VRAM in [CURRENT YEAR]?
Chase Miller
Welp fuck. Guess that's what I get for being indecisive. Least I save $20.
Angel Robinson
>1080Ti
>comes out soon
citation needed, 980ti didn't come out until almost a full year after the 980.
780ti was pretty famous for being stronger than the titan.
and it was also neck and neck with the titan black.
Mason Carter
Will the 1080ti work with Windows 7?
Levi Martinez
Ayyyy my fellow cheap fury bro. I picked up the same card and an 8320 to upgrade my fx 41xx/7870ghz because im a full blown retard.
Its certainly a worthwhile purchase considering its roughly the price of an oc rx 480 8gb, but dont delute yourself into thinking its "almost as good" as a 1070. Just be glad you got better than 980 performance at 1060/480 price.
Jaxon James
Help me choose my next GPU, Sup Forums :
or
newegg.com
Or any other suggestions.
Landon King
i wouldn't go under 4GB at 1080/60. in some new games 4GB isn't even enough for 1080/60.
Logan Perez
adding onto that, cards like the fury/fury x are ok due to their HBM1 memory. the 4GB is a bit of a downer but they can still keep up with 8GB GDDR5 cards.
John Martinez
Thanks. Looks like I am now a #480matey
Nolan Moore
Breh check benchies. At 1440 the fury consistently outperforms a 390x 8gb which consistently outperforms an rx 480 8gb. Unfortunately there arent many benches out there that pit the two against eachother directly, but clearly the 4gb of hbm in the fury compensates for its lack of capacity through raw bandwidth. Id say the fury at its current price is an excellent placeholder until vega drops.
Liam Richardson
Tell me, is the overclocking potential on the 1060 pretty low, or has nobody bothered trying to crank it up just yet? From the preliminary reading I've found so far, voltage limitations are a problem currently. Is that a limitation that could ever be overcome, or is the factory overclock as good as it's ever going to get?
Alexander Cook
I guess I'll go with that then, but first I need to measure how much space I have in my case, since apparently the Fury is a bit beefy.
Either one should be a nice step up from my 770.

I built my first pc a bit ago, cheeped out and got an Asus 1060 3gb version for $190 (originally $210 with $10 mail in rebate and I had a $10 gift card) How long will this card last for 1080p gaming? I plan on upgrading it in a year or less.
Aiden Cook
you're asking a question that has no actual answer
"likely" will have to suffice
Chase Torres
Hey guys it's not a GPU question but a cpu question.
Will a AMD 8350 work well in a dell 0Y2MRG motherboard?
It's a shitty prebuilt I got as a present and I will eventually make my own PC but right now I want to upgrade it and slowly build parts up.
I ask because google didn't help and I don't want to fuck it up.
Bentley Jenkins
is anyone planning to use a 1050ti low profile in an egpu setup? i've got an old 750ti and a pe4c at the moment and its a little awkward to position on the desk. i figure the msi card in pic (release date unknown at present) and an exp gdc beast would be reasonable power and smaller footprint

Hey /GCG/ I want to upgrade from a GTX 670 to something with 4GB of video memory. It has to be nvidia since I am a Nvidia cuck. >inb4fag
Joseph Harris
was on a similar situation, had a gtx 560 and was debating between a 1050 or a rx 460, I got the later but only because it was way cheaper in my third world shithole, but I was deciding between those 2 cards because I have a i5 750, if I had a 2500k I would have considered a rx 480 or even a 1070 with that overcloking room
Aaron Young
How do I know what 1080 I need for 4k? How many frames can you really gain from over clocking?
Eli Young
anandtech.com
Roughly about ~5 fps or about a 10% performance increase. Depending on settings that may get you over the 60fps boundary. But really if I were you I'd wait a few months for the 1080 Ti to be released and either get that or just pick up a cheaper used 1080 when the ricers dump theirs on Ebay after it's release,
Logan Watson
I'm thinking of using EVGA's step up program, I'm sure the 1080ti will release within 90 days and I'll pay the difference.
Looks like it may be with it to spend an extra $30 on something oc'd.
Jose Martinez
As long as it isn't a reference cooler you ought to be able to OC it as much as the silicon lottery would have allowed you anyway. Don't pay extra for the OEM's own OC since I doubt they are binning chips that hard.
Justin Powell
I'm trying to sell a lightly used RX 470 in US. How should I do it?
Nolan Morales
Sweet thanks, been out of the market for a while.
Easton Gray
I just ordered the 470, but should I have gone with the 480? Its a 20$ difference.
Elijah Lopez
Absolutely. You get well over $20 worth of performance boost and a crapshoot chance of adding a little overclock on top.
Charles Flores
So when does the 1080: Avalanche Edition come out?
Luke Watson
So let me get is straight.
The era of 1080p coming to an end, 1440p comes to power.
Gtx 1070 and 1080 are at the middle of that road?
1070 is perfect for 1080p and 1080 is too good for 1080p but a start of 1440p?
John Cooper
Stuck with Australia tax. Need a sanity check on the 1070. Is it overkill for an LG 29UM58-P (21:9 1080p, 75Hz)? RX480 a better choice?
Gavin Kelly
RX480 - $389 to $439
1070 - $569 to $799
Colton Carter
I've got:
i5 3550 + Gtx 660 + 8gb ram 1600mhz
Should I get a 1060? or stick with my shit & renew next year? Not playing anything seriously. Got a new job and its time consuming (fuck us, IT People :( )
James Lopez
We're skipping straight to 4k or 1440p 144hz
Julian Morris
This.
It's actually a pretty good generation.

Isaiah Sanders

pcper.com
Maybe if you reduce quality settings a bit w/o AA
I think 4K though really needs 1070s or some used 980s in SLI, or a maybe a 1080 Ti when it comes out.
