$300 for a 6GB 1060?  I think I'll just wait for 1070 prices and availability to stabilize and try to get one for $400 and not have to worry about upgrading my GPU for 3-4 years.

Zero VGS posted:Apple had to recall AMD's GPUs, lol: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203787 This had to be done by disassembling the iMac almost completely, a very painful process with this model.. the card was in MXM format quote:Edit 3: Apple did a recall on NVidia cards too... jeez: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203254 Not exactly 'cards..' the 8600GT was soldered to the logic board on those particular laptops, so it involved switching out entire logic boards just for the bad GPU.. and Apple usually required you to return the original board with the bad 8600GT. Presumably they collected the bad boards, counted them, and dumped them on nVidia corporate's front lawn, then told nVidia "Ok, give us credit for these 80,000 (or whatever) boards" nVidia's response was probably to give Apple a few hearty middle fingers, which is likely why there's not a single nVidia GPU on any Apple hardware sold today.

Gwaihir posted:"Even" a GTX970 is twice as fast in games as a 660ti. And then a 970 is only 60%~ the power of a 1070. So you're looking at "Do you want to double your FPS, or almost quadruple your FPS?" for 1920*1080 gameplay. I'm running a 650 Ti Boost now and am leaning towards the 1070 as well as I want to go 4k soon. I'm in no rush though so I want to see how the 1060 turns out. The 480 would've been a great solution if I wanted to stick to 1080p though (power issues excluded). But then it'd also be quite lame to only get as much performance as I could've had two years ago for only $100 more.

A lot of the nvidia 8xxx and 9xxx(?) series laptop gpus would fail after a couple years. Usually in macbooks and mid tier gaming laptops. Apple went to AMD for their laptops and never looked back. edit: I think some 7xxx series ones as well. I got lucky that my old Asus G1 with a 7700 never suffered from the problem. Laptop lasted 4 or 5 years

Funnily enough (or shittily enough) Nvidia managed to gently caress over the people in the suit by giving them a laptop of equal capability, not equal worth. So when the suit was over they were all getting 250 buck Compaqs and not hardware that they would pay $1,000+ for.

That Adored guy points out that the 750ti pulls upwards to 250watts spike out of the PCIe slot and people don't lose their motherboards over it. The average consumption is lower though. He also thinks that the 8GB of memory is what's causing the power draw and shouldn't be a problem unless playing in high end games @ 4k res. fwiw

I've got one of each, and playing with high refresh rates (Even if your card doesn't crank out 120 fps all the time) is just a far better experience than 4k gaming.

I too think that spiking 175W over spec for as little as 1/100,000th of a second (the resolution of Toms Hardware's test setup) is just as bad as going 5-25W over spec at all times.

The 8 GB is probably a big contributor and is probably well worth considering when thinking about the power draw.

I still think the 4GB RX 470 is positioned to be a sweet card for everybody at 1080p. 4GB of VRAM, cheaper, lower power draw because it's OK to be somewhere near but under a 970 for $150.

1080s are $750+ CAD. Cheapest 1070 is $560. Guess I'll just keep rocking a 290 that can't overclock past 1050MHz at all or drivers have to be cleaned out and reinstalled in order for the computer to boot!

Don't trust MicroCenter's website for a second. Employee told me that there is often a 24hr delay between their actual stock and what the website shows. A truck came in this morning loaded with MSI TFs, ASUS Strixs, and numerous other Founders AIBs. I called because I saw a single Founders available according to their site, but when the CSR checked her in-store computer she said they had 10+ on the shelves that came off a truck this morning. Naturally I rushed over and grabbed me a 1080 ASUS Strix.

PCPer updated their story specifically comparing to the 960 strix as well as testing in low VRAM situations, and basically confirmed AdoredTV was just talking poo poo. He has stated he is going to try and kill a B75 motherboard using an overclocked 480 however, and that's interesting.

Inverness posted:Received mine today and just tried it out with The Witcher 3 using max settings and Fast Sync on my 1440p 60Hz monitor. My Zotac 1070 does the same thing. I have never really bothered with overclocking before building this PC so I just figured that was typical. From what I've gathered the boost clock is guaranteed to be stable, but if your card can hit a higher number safely it will.

At the rate things are going, nVidia will SKU the 1080Ti for $899 with the stock cooling assembly and treat it like they're doing us a solid at that price. The AIBs will likely target $950-999 with custom cooling since people have already shown them they're willing to pay it. The Titan will probably require you to undergo a credit check first.

The gigabyte 1070 fan issue I noticed apparently might be due to one fan pulsing on and off for whatever reason, while it was definitely bearing noise it only happened briefly under one condition. There was a suggestion to simply run the fan at 100% for a moment and it would go away, the loose theory being that you're "wearing in the bearings". A few hours it seems to have worked for now. There is a BIOS update for the 1080 to stop this fan behavior entirely but not for the 1070 yet

About three months ago I lost my job. Sucks, and worried about finding a new one, but there was relief because the job sucked. Well, not totally; having it on my resume really helped out. I was getting more attention than usual. So instead of the usual long-term unemployment I've experienced in the past, I got a job in under two months. Best of all, I was getting paid far more than I ever have. I've never seen a paycheck like this. That's why I just upgraded from a 970 to a 1080. I was really impressed with the announcements from NVIDIA for Pascal. My 970 isn't two years old yet, but I was already planning to upgrade to the 1070, once I got a job. But when I landed a job making 40% more than the last, I realized I could do something I've never done before: buy a hardware upgrade that was the pinnacle of what is available. (The 1080 being $600 as opposed to last year's top dog, a $1000 Titan, also really helped.) On Tuesday, I thought I'd watch online stock. After my second try, I managed to get the EVGA GTX 1080 SC Gaming ACX 3.0. This is pretty much the exact card I wanted to get. Not an overpriced Founder's Edition, not the base level. Got it today. Just in time for a three day weekend. Whenever I make these kinds of upgrades, I like to do before and after benchmarks, thought I'd share with you guys. Especially because of my processor: the 2500K. Feels weird that I still don't have to upgrade my CPU yet, but that's what I keep reading. Still, was a little concerned about bottlenecking. Most people agree it's not going to happen, unless I play one of those weird RTSs, which I won't. 8GB RAM, SSD blah blah blah Geforce 970 GTAV with PCSS - 24 FPS avg Bioshock Infinite - 109 FPS avg Rise of the Tomb Raider with max hair - 13 FPS avg Geforce 1080 GTAV with PCSS - 48 FPS avg Bioshock Infinite - 198 FPS avg Rise of the Tomb Raider with max hair - 39 FPS avg I'm surprised, this is double performance. Did not expect that. I was especially impressed with Tomb Raider. At the very beginning of the benchmark, all you see is Lara, with her beautifully realistic NVIDIA hair. On the 970, I was barely getting 20 frames. On the 1080, I was getting exactly 60. Then things settled down once the camera panned around and got the mountain in view. Also, while testing the 970 with GTAV I didn't realize I missed the 'Advanced Graphics' settings, which were all turned off. I enabled all of them, got a 30 FPS average on the 1080. edit: Oh, this is all 1440p at highest settings. Revol fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Jul 2, 2016 |

mobby_6kl posted:Agreed! But gaming is now less than 10% of my computer time and 4k would be definitely better for the other 90%. While I agree with Gwaihir on screen experience, I think you are right about upscaling. The next step from all the temporal AA stuff in TXAA, TAA, etc. is more intelligent upscaling from lower res rendering. Most scenes you don't need the fine detail of 4k (or at least not features at that frequency) but having a 4k display let's you get nice crisp text, etc. where you need it. Puddin posted:I'm in the exact same position you are in, i5 3570 with a 5770. I've been wanting to get a new GPU for ages, but have never done so.

While it's cool that you have a 1080, you could probably reign in the humble storytelling about how you've landed into megamillions. Why the hell is Tomb Raider (is this the sequel?) so problematic? A 970 isn't exactly a slouch, 20 frames just seems unreasonable.
