That's incredibly sucky. i REALLY do not want to give them money at this stage. like they go out of their way to downgrade fedex's shipping. fedex, by default, ships and delivers on saturday. they had to ask them to not do that. that's unbelievable. and i'm not aware of any other retailer that will just close their warehouse for two days, freeze all processing, and do nothing to mitigate that for the customer. it's all very silly.

The term 'paper launch' is derived from the wad of paper that sits under the scotch tape that you use to depress your your F5 key.

Subjunctive posted:Doesn't the return window start when the item is delivered to you? i don't know, but let's be honest, i'm not returning it unless i can get another one on the same day or sooner. i paid an early adopter premium to get a card that is overkill for my current setup. i am obviously not smart enough to vote with my wallet on this one unless i can have my cake and eat it too.

Kazinsal posted:1080s are $750+ CAD. Cheapest 1070 is $560. Furnaceface posted:We get absolutely hosed up the rear end for parts prices up here for some reason. Its why I was relying on AMD to mess with the GPU market so I could actually buy a new card. But basically, if the US gets screwed on prices, then we do as well because the exchange rate sucks and that seems to be how a lot of prices get determined here. It looks like it's generally around $650-700 USD for any given 1080, which should usually mean around $840-905 here. The cheapest I see at a cursory glance is $550 for a 1070 and $815 for a 1080, which pretty much matches the cheapest models you can find (constantly out of stock) on Newegg.com after conversion.

I'm surprised that 1080s are harder to get then 1070s. Non FE 1070s seem to go on sale at least once per day while the 1080s have been scarce. And the 1080s were released first.

In a meeting at AMD you just know someone suggested binning higher performing 480 chips as a new model and factory overclocking them beyond the useful thermal limit, just like the FX 9590. He was sent to the core mines.

He was sent to the core mines. For all the signs so far, the funny and sad part is AMD could have easily pulled the old NV trick by binning and slightly downclock/downvolt lovely RX480 chips for OEM versions that nobody will see or care about, while optimizing the clocks/volts for the better retail ones and keeping every version under 150W TDP, if they couldn't afford to write off their already mass produced 6-pin cards. A ~5% slower RX480 with better TDP is still infinitely more appealing than a mobo killer regardless of everything else.

How about just sticking an 8-pin or a couple 6-pins on the card if it draws over 150W so it does not start sucking more power through the mobo than it can handle? I don't know if this issue will just end up being a real thing but for now I honestly can't tell someone to buy one of these things knowing that it might fry their loving mobo. Nvidia charges too much, especially with the bullshit that is the "Founders Edition", but at least you know you are getting a decent product with them. If AMD wants people to buy their stuff they need to make products that are compelling in and of themselves, not just compelling because the price is really low.

My last nvidia card was a 6600GT OC, then I had three AMD cards: 4850, 6850, R9-270X, then back to nvidia with the 970. I'll probably stay here for a bit or get a 1070 this winter or next year when all these crazy release prices have calmed down. I think I still have my Riva TNT2 but obviously I'm not brand loyal. I just wish AMD could compete a little better.

Wasn't the whole idea that you could drop one intro any lovely old system and get decent performance? Requiring extra connectors would pretty seriously curtail that. I'd have thought they'd have been off clocking it a bit lower and accepting the performance trade off (still pretty good for the price).

I just realized, my first GPU I purchased was an EVGA SC 8800GT, and now the first "good" card I'm buying since is an EVGA SC GTX 1070. Eh, kinda poetic I guess. So whatever happened to the 8xx series? And is this current naming scheme the same as the one that showed up after the 9xxx series? I remember it got weird, with rebadges and rebranding and using multiple hundreds at the same time and

AMD making GBS threads the bed is whats allowing nvidia to jack prices up since theres nothing to compete or compare with.  Also Im a brand loyalist because the old ATI building was a 10 minutes drive down the highway from me and they sold poo poo out of a little warehouse on site super cheap and man I miss those days.
