So the is the 1070 launch going to be a paper launch or will we see them widely available? I would hope they are widely available since they are harvested 1080 chips.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Yeah that. Think it'll be worth the wait? I really don't understand the technical specifications of video memory. The memory just has to be fast enough to keep up with the demands of the GPU, it's not so much that HBM2 on its own does much but that the big Pascal and Vegas will be fast enough to require that much memory bandwidth in the first place. If I had a 980Ti I would wait to upgrade unless you're currently doing something really demanding like 4k or VR right now and are running into framerate issues in games.

Your 980ti value is already dead except on ebay so might as well hold out.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:You will likely see the 1070 in quantity, and 1060/ti in even bigger numbers if they want to rub salt in AMD's five-year wound I would only get a 1060/ti if I knew it didn't have a gimped memory bus like my current 660Ti. Hell, I might wait until the 1070 is out in the wild and tested thoroughly to make sure it doesn't have a section of gimped VRAM.

Nah I'm still doing 1080 albeit on a 144hz monitor. If I wait until next year I can build a PC with cannon lake too.

So obviously the 1070 is the premier value card in the market come next month. The real question remaining is simple: is the Founders Edition worth the extra money? I could easily see dropping the extra for the Founders edition in lieu of getting a 1080, if that' s a nice middle ground of price/performance between the two lines.

Also I'd loving laugh if that graph was performance in something like Ashes or Quantum Break.FaintlyQuaint posted:Thirteen months seems fine for a PC product that should be nothing but a luxury purchase? If you buy a top end NV card and aren't expecting to sell it used and buy the new top end like a screwed up rental plan, you're gonna pay a lot more for the cards. Don't buy them expecting them to last.

Don Lapre posted:AMD is gonna have to make an announcement before may 27th or lose a huge number of buyers. That's a pretty reasonable timeframe. If they'd launched with stock it'd be a lot nastier. Fauxtool posted:if founders is for better OC might as well wait for non-reference cards and really crank it up for the best value I'd be real interested to see if they just started ASIC binning or something like that. Comedy option: founders has all 8 GB as good memory. FaintlyQuaint posted:Well yeah that's my point. If you spend like $1k on a video card you should be in a position where that doesn't matter? For sure. However, for a while now it's well worth pointing out that having a good video card all the time is a hell of a lot more expensive than having it except for the ~month that the new hotness is on the horizon. They depreciate maybe a hundred in a year and then their value drops by half in a day.

I'm really interested in their ~multi display view~ whatever they were talking about and how it works for VR and what the support is like. I've got a Vive and I'm wanting more performance is pretty much everything VR so for that reason alone I'm into this new poo poo.

you can realistically still sell your 980ti on ebay and craiglist for 450, but with the knowledge that the person buying probably hasnt heard the news

Holyshoot posted:Will using this 1080 on a pice 1.0 motherboard affect FPS vs using it on a pcie 3.0 motherboard? Considering how old that implies the rest of your system is, though, there'd be a good chance it'll end up being CPU limited in many games.
