When You Realize This is All You Need

>50-60 FPS on Witcher 3 on High after a slight overclock
>good enough for nearly any game in 1080p
>most of the games worth playing today have been developed in years gone by anyway

Pretty much, the situation is that you really only need to spend around $500 to have a good experience playing PC games and having a computer that can do everything you need it to, unless you are a true developer/neckbeard. Pig related is what I bought to upgrade a pre-built machine that I have. I was worried it wouldn't be enough, but it is. If you are strapped for cash, you don't need to build a monster PC to have some fun playing games.

DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW. I'M NOT KIDDING, IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE DELETE THIS.

>sub-60fps in a two and a half year old game
>not even on the top preset
>acceptable

Poorfags leave.

YOUR LAST CHANCE, I GIVE YOU 5 MORE MINUTES TO DELETE THIS. I WON'T SAY IT AGAIN.

this user knows what's up.

Why you so angry?

That card is awful

what RAM you got on that GPU? Hynix?

Why would anyone bother with this when Volta GV107 GTX 2050 Ti will have performance that matches GTX 1060/GTX 980 at 75W or less TDP next year?

With that level of performance you can play with everything at Very High/Ultra 1080P 60FPS+

>JustWait(TM)

I don't know m8.

>implying that Nvidia will allow this to happen. They want to milk their (((profits))) that come from having to pay 3-4 hundred bucks to max things out in 1080p. AMD is nowhere near catching up and (((they))) realize this and will postpone the release of any new products to their own advantage

The 1050 ti is almost a gtx 960
Wouldn't be far fetched if the 2050 ti is almost a 1060

I know right, uograded my rig half a year ago with A brand new ryzen build + a RX 470. Runs the witcher maxxed out at about 60 fps with some slight dips.

Managed to find a sweet deal on that RX 470, brand new for 175 bucks.

Mah nigga. I don't need a 1080ti to play Stalker.

I get very similar results with my quad-core ThinkPad T430 + GTX 670 eGPU. Literally no reason to build a PC or to buy a new laptop.
You might want to invest in an SSD though. They make using your computer soooooooooooooooo much comfier.

I thought the box said "RERO" in the thumbnail.

*and i have suspicion even about this

Do to valen and your 1050ti will crap it slef
go to Novigrad and your i3 will crap it self

Ultra foliage render distance in witcher 3 is tough even on my 1060 6gb

to have absolute lock on 60 fps and ultra in witcher you basically need gtx 1080

but i my self prefer to play it ultra at 4k and 30fps

i dont know if 1080ti would be able to deliver 4k 60 at ultra considering how far from it 1080 is

Doesn't work well in linux

So I'm stuck with AMD until Nvidia gets their shit together

>i dont know if 1080ti would be able to deliver 4k 60 at ultra considering how far from it 1080 is

It does, with GoyWorks hair turned off.

The Ti is a fucking beast really. As expensive as they are, I'd never consider buying another small die Nvidia card. It's a recipie for cuckoldry.

oh ok so it does after oc (lighting is heavily ocd version isn't it?)

shame 1080 cant but considering how much more 1080ti cost i wouldnt buy it even if i knew
it

>people think nvidia will call their next cards 2000 something

retardation on Sup Forums is the norm now

Their sample had a 1987MHz boost out of the box, so that's what you see on the chart. They only got a max clock of 2050MHz out of it though, 13MHz lower than the Founders Edition they tested. But they all tap out within a 40MHz range around there, no matter the cooler or power delivery, thanks to Nvidia's hard voltage cap.

>be 1070 master race
>be OC'ed to over 2ghz
>FPS never dips below 60 on Ultra at 1080p
>not even with HairDoesntWork running

Still not as awesome as 1080ti FTW but still pretty sweet Desu. Whenever someone markets a GPU for a certain Resolution/FPS setup they always undershoot it and you should get the nest tier of GPU above it. My 1070 manages 1080p/Ultra barely which means 1060's dont and they fucking lied. about them.

>calling a 1060 an ultra 60 fops GPU
>wildly fluctuates between 30-55FPS on max settings

>people memeing about the witcher
>play it +60 fps high with a gtx 960

What Sup Forums says, grain of salt.

"No."

>All You Need
for what?
I need 144hz 1440p
will it do that?

This. Even my 980Ti feels sluggish.

Only reason to get one is avoiding the GPU market until the mining craze is over. Miners don't give a shit about the 1050.

I bought one of those during the mining craze because the other CPUs were so overpriced. Overall loving it, Plus MSI makes great parts.

this this this

i dont get why people over hype gpus so much
>i play on gtx1060 ultra 60fps
you look on benchmarks
>30 to mid 50s

wtf people? why do you keep lying? And when i try to educate people with propper facts every one gets butthurt at me for some reason.

> recommends an i3
> "it's enough"

OP's a fucking dumbshit who doesn't even know what's good for pc gaming or not, fucking delete this useless thread.

let me echo this again, says an i3 is good for gaming.

an i3.

oh com on cut op some slack i3 8100 is :^)

>Doesn't work well in linux
tell me more, please
is it because of the drivers fucking up your distro when you update them?

All I need is my good ol r9 380 4g while playing my dead 10 year old fps and a few newer games.

we get it, you don't have money and you are really are trying to justify your purchasing decisions by looking down on anyone who spends more on their pc.

You're right OP, even with a GTX 1050 G1 (slightly below a ti) coupled with a Ryzen 1200 on max settings at 1080p gives you a good framerate. Almost all the games I have I get a stable 60 frames or more. Only Dishonored for whatever reason which gives a measly fucking 30 something fps or even lower! Must be shitty optimization.

In total I only paid $660 for a gaming PC that will probably last for I'd say nearly 5 years before its absolutely necessary to purchase any upgrades.

where did i lie? gtx 1060's on ultra settings do fluctuate 30-55fps on modern games at 1080p When they claim 60+fps on ultra they are talking carefuly tweaking/reducing certain settings to high/medium and only keeping textures on ultra or they are intentionally disabling extra effects like hairworks and AA processing to get that result.

Ultra means every setting maxed....the fuck....out. If you cant turn it all to max and consistently get average framerate over 60 and only dipping sometimes to 55fps or so then its not a 60fps ultra gpu

>2017
>Playing on High, not on ultra
>Playing in 1080p, not in 4k

>I'm poor and everyone has the exact same needs and budget
Stop being a faggot.

>I need to buy expensive machines to justify my lack of self-control

4K is a meme, dude unless you can get 120FPS

perfect example is metro last light, any modern gpu can run it above 60 while looking great, but turn on ssaa and even the 1080ti struggles to keep it north of 60.

>Justify
Ok then kiddo. Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night.

So does this mean I can keep rocking my 970?

60 fps solid at ultra+Goyworks with shadows at medium (there's little visual difference in shadow settings in Witcher 3)

Butthurt manchildren spotted. Go back to your cave, faggot

Congrats OP, you're smart.

>ultra is actually medium with ultra textures

hahahah ohohohohhohohoh ahahahahah

>h-hey guys this thing plays the thing I want to play it should be enough for you too please don't buy more powerful hardware or play video games at more settings than me
>this is all the fun you should have because as this is just leisure shit and video games there has to be a what you 'need' level as opposed to whatever you want

Fucking neck yourself you retarded autist. What the fuck does whatever you want got to do with how other retards want to play their video games on?

>a resolution is 'a meme'

What the fuck does that even mean you dumb nigger?

why are ITT getting triggered by the OP?
funny shit

Fair on the first point

On the second point... 4k monitors that don't suck ass in terms of quality and actually have GSYNC/freeSync are prohibitory expensive, and there's only two GPUs in existence that can drive most games to HIGH in 4K, not Ultra. You'd need SLI/CF... which is buggy as shit.

he is just poor and lie to him self more than trying to cheat any one else

>i..i..dont need..any more...

why cant people be just realistic?
I'm poor my self but i dont say i wouldn't like to own a sports car even if my old junk tows me from a to b.

4k high fps will come out January of next year

>I want to waste money on useless, retarded shit
no wonder you (and other retarded manchildren ITT) are still poor

>i cant afford 200$ gpu
>im not poor nottttpoooorrrrrrr ;_;

ye sure
1050ti is just all you need thats all

lol

>I can afford 200$ gpu
>look at me I'm rich!!!
yeah, just keep being poor, fag. with that mentality, you surely will make it.

you seem to be strangly fixated at my little admission lol


if you told me all you play is cs:go and lol i would say fine what ever suits you no need to over pay


but you basicall go around telling people that all you need to race in gt class is a fiat panda 1.1cl and expect people to take you seriously.

grow up retard

I don't even play games, I'm just messing with you
tard

btw, is your place

...

>all i play is quake champions, overwatch, tf2 and games less demanding than these
>old i5 + 1060 keeps up with it
>still want i7 8700k and 1080ti

>being poor
god that must suck

>being a neet
god that must suck

I like playing my games at 4k w/ 60+ fps, so I purchased a 1080ti.

Is there any difference between 1440p and 4k visually?

pretend you don't have confirmation bias

Depends on the display

Sub 30' no discernible difference

Anything above 35 and you can tell the difference.

not him but other than more pixels and thus a sharper image. no

Oh yeah that's obvious at those sizes

I don't really want a massive 35" screen though, 27" seems ideal

Should I just aim for 144hz 1440p then?

>Sub 30' no discernible difference

Not true at all. 4K looks incredible at 27/28" due to the pixel density. Far beyond 1440p in terms of visual fidelity. It's unusable on the desktop without scaling though.

>When You Realize This is All You Can Afford
FTFY

I should've probably got a 1070 too desu
No regrets because Amazon fucked up on my order and I ended up with 2 1060's for the price of one.
I even called them because I work in shipping and that's bad juju and they told me to keep both

People who put the dollar sign after the amount are idiots

>*turns down the resolution to 720p*
>70+ fps
>human eye can't perceive the difference in quality
heh.... Nothin personnel kid...

Pretty happy with my 1050ti, but I don't give a shit about ultra settings. 60fps on medium @ 1080p is fine for me.

My computer is 5 years old. It has i5 ivy bridge, 8GB RAM and RX470 4GB. It can run any modern game at 1080p 60FPS high/ultra settings.

>tfw you realize a vw polo 2003 is all you need

That's how you sound.

My PC setup is 1440p 144Hz. Just because you are content with sluggish performance full of dipping fps, it does not mean everyone else is.

>spending more than 50 bucks in a mattress
>drinking anything other than bottom shelf booze
>eating anything better than fast food

Look, user. You are a pleb, pure and simple. You can have your shit tastes, but don't try to drag others down to your level.

kool

Why would I want to downgrade?

running a GTX 1080 at 1999 MHz I get 50-70 fps at 1440p with everything maxed out. I have a ROG swift so I kinda want to upgrade to a Ti to get it into the 100s

Just recently finished RotRR running my 2500k + 1050 Ti on max settings (except hairworks or whatever), couldn't keep 60 but it was playable.

> buy 1060 6GB
> oh boy, this will be so good for 1080p
> realize I cannot use reshade or 125% upscaling even
> it sucks at ultrawide 1080p

Well, fuck me. Luckily the card is dying (NEVER EVER BUY GIGABYTE), so I will replace it with a 1070.

they can't into wayland and they're never up to date

Either you use decade old nvidia cards so they actually work, or you use AMD

Not much lincucks can do about it considering nvidia's shit is all proprietary and locked down, and all the guys interested in helping on the driver side of things are gushing over AMD open sourcing theirs so they don't even give a shit about trying to unfuck anything for nvidia cards. Especially since it's a huge pain in the ass without any kind of documentation

>GIGABYTE
wtf dude

MUH 4K
MUH SHADERS
MUH EPEEN

> being proud of being poor
I am all for not overspending but this is just sad nigga.

That said, I would consider minimum specs for 2017 new build:
> 24gb of ram
> i5 at least
> custom cooler for CPU (nothing fancy)
> 1060 6GB - 1070 if you play games

8GB ram is a joke amount if you are capable of using browser tabs. 16GB is OK for regular use like browsing reddit. But I run out of 24 often as well. Just very heavy desktop use and maybe virtualization or some other ram intensive app and I am out.

kek

that's not a whole lot higher than ops post, i just don't believe in buying ludicrously expensive shit for little gain over something more moderately priced

960 was a gimped piece of shit because it's competition was a 3 years old rebrand that required 22A on the 12v rail for itself, while the 1060 is the most competetive budget card since 8800gts
