Asus replaced my GPU

I sent my Strix 980ti in for fan repair (couldn't find a liquid cooling unit to fit the Strix model) and they sent me back a Strix 1070. Should I be upset?

Not really.

They trade blows, whoever wins depends on the age of game and drivers.

Yes. You lost analog output.

so he wont be able to plug his computer into the board room projector or his 20 year old CRT oh no it's the end of the fucking line.

It is actually. CRT is still the best display for video games with resolutions up to 2048x1536 and can run refresh rates over 60 more often than not. Zero input lag and variable resolution. Better blacks than IPS and better colors than TN. its the absolute peak we have. No other displays offer what can do.

>more powerful
>more efficient
I'd say you won

OP here. How much more? I keep reading mixed bullshit online. Plus, it's like letting go of a friend you never got to say bye to and it being replaced by a new enthusiastic one. They didn't even notify me

Are you using a CRT. If no enjoy your increased performance. Otherwise get an external HDMI to VGA converter.

you got a great deal, don't complain

They are very close in term of power. You get newer technology plus 2GB more vram. Not a bad thing at all.

in performance, not power. TDP of 980ti is 250w and of 1070 150w. 1070 is much better power consumption/efficiency wise

No I'm not using a CRT, I use a 4k monitor and two 1080 monitors

Then nothing of value was lost. Enjoy your newer card.

but you can't stare at them for more than 2 hours or your eyes will melt.

Maybe if you're a retard. CRTs are lighter on the eyes than the average LCD panel because yours not squinting to make out lost detail in the blacks

Only if you run it at 85Hz or higher. Your average dumpster CRT looks like a strobe light at 60Hz.

that's why you run it at 85hz you dumb piece of shit. You think im bragging about running dumptser trash here?

literally rose tinted nostalgia goggles. literally member berries. no point arguing with them

My CRT is side.by side with a 4k IPS display from Samsung. Anybody who would prefer to play games on the IPS panel should be fucking shot

Not you but there's been a lot of kids on Sup Forums and Sup Forums showing off their trash-picked monitors for hipster cred.

Chances are the CRT probably has better image quality and less GtG latency than the IPS LCD which justifies its cost.

>he's suggesting the distance it takes light to travel in that time will be either perceptible to the eye let alone be able to be translated into movement by the user...

It's about 60km btw.
Also see my point about vinyl.... it's a direct quote.

>it's a "my several thousand $ professional grade CRT totally pwns ur chinkshit $100 LCD monitor checkmate athiests" thread

Nah man each new generations things get cooler and more effecient. In your case it's a confirmed improvement. Some people thinks the brand number 8 is better than 7 and so is Ti to non-Ti. As for dumb arguement sake, 1070 is a bigger number than 980.

If it's a brand new 1070, then it's a good trade. But if it is a refurbished one, you got fucked.

>lighter in the eyes
Yeah remind me not to spend too much time at my pc staring at the screen, also stand up and move around more to fix your fucking posture. Also while you're at it, go find a good girl and bring her home to your mum, isn't that what level 40 wizard's life objective is about?

Yeah and you need calibration reaaalll often for the colors. If life doesn't depend on it to make money, CRT can fuck back into stone age, don't get me wrong i love all the positives about CRT as i grew up with them but the disadvantage "outweight" it all.

>What is an active converter
You fucking elitist you...

Active converters are shit. Cap out at 1920x1200 at 60ha, whereas my CRT supports up to 2048x1536 60hz or 1600x1200 85hz.
Elitism is good. You should feel bad if what you use is bad.
Have a gf and a job and a college degree
It cost $50 on craiglist. But I would have paid a hundred.
Cool so judge technology on its own and now how retarded college kids from reddit do

Its not magic. Its faster and better quality for video games. Its factual and widely understood.

It's new in the box

I know but it's the first gpu I have gotten that was current gen and the best at the time. I've had it for awhile and the thought hasn't even crossed my mind to upgrade, so it's kind of like an "oh shit" moments to get the next gen in a 70 and not 80, and not in Ti form
