Anime Schoolgirl posted:http://videocardz.com/61005/new-amd-radeon-rx-480-3dmark-benchmarks It's looking like a good card at a good price, so I figure they probably want the performance numbers going out as close as possible to people who see them being able to buy them as possible. Hopefully that's true and they have the stock for that to be a concern.

This zotac amp 1080 AIB just went up on Amazon for preorder, if you want to join me in the waiting for a delivery update hellish nightmare that I wake up to every day: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GCAVRSU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The product specifications on that page are super  . It apparently has a gddr5 coprocessor! Graphics Card Ram Size 8 MB.

Chuu posted:EVGA step-up program has one clause that scares me: I think that clause is more for limited edition or discontinued cards. EVGA staff on their forums said that the stock for sale and stock for step up are maintained separately, so step ups might be fulfilled while the site says out of stock, or the site might have cards for sale and no step ups available.

repiv posted:I'm not completely up to speed with the newer Intel chips, but isn't the generational difference smaller after overclocking since the newer chips are closer to their max clock out of the box? Clock for clock, Skylake is ~25% faster than Sandy Bridge. Not huge, but real. The big thing is that Intel had really been pushing the stock clocks higher - an OCd Sandybridge keeps up pretty well but a locked one doesn't do as well.

The only solid complaints I've heard about Zotac in recent years is some strange SLI incompatibility with 970s. They seem to benchmark competitively (in terms of noise and so on) and are generally priced well, its hard to find a reason to hate on them. I don't put them in the same category as the "big names" but I dont really have great reasons for that.

The release was really just a few days ago, and right now the FE is the only card that has any availability, and even that is scarce at best. If you can limp along for a few weeks you may see some trickle out, though I think the manufacturers and retailers will continue to take advantage of the outstripped supply and charge a premium for a while.

Same boat here  I am sure you could get a FE card in hand pretty shortly but the partner cards won't be around for a couple weeks probably and they seem to be charging at or close to the FE price anyway unfortunately.

I haven't had any coil whine or other issues and the card is very quiet, just wondering if that was normal. Haven't heard any major issues with them and have been running a lot of their stuff (GPU/Motherboards) For years. They can be quite feature filled similar to say an ASRock board and such for the price (and their little Zbox systems are neato too). However their 560Ti's did have a stupid fan bios limit of 50% which made them run hot as hell. It was fixable but can't be good for users who bought 2 for SLI and wondered why they went from nearly inaudible to Jet Engine with no variance between since the cards would overheat to Emergency Fan mode and back down during gaming. Haven't heard of issues like that since, but it was sure silly.

Temps are fine. Yeah I started getting bad behavior (just plain screen lag for basic things, alt tabbing, webpages) and then artifacting, then extreme artifactinig, constant driver failures. It was quite a decent. Then it happened again with another one lol. Oh well, they are old I guess. I'm now using a gtx 570... There is supposed to be limited availability starting just yesterday with like one AIB (EVGA), the rest were trickling out over this week supposedly. Unfortunately the FE launch date itself was just last Friday so I wouldn't expect great stock choices for a little bit. I actually got a phone call from somebody this morning that one brand was selling at 7pm EST on Newegg, I dont know if its true but if it is it will sell out in a minute. penus penus penus fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jun 14, 2016 |

Anime Schoolgirl posted:http://videocardz.com/61005/new-amd-radeon-rx-480-3dmark-benchmarks Not bad at all, but the 1080 just makes everything look like poo poo, it's amazing. If it can get within striking distance of the 1070 with some overclocking as per the previous chart (a bit doubtful) it'd be a definite buy for me.

If I'm buying a new monitor and a new GPU at the same time in the next few months, what would y'all recommend? I've been using a 24" 1920*1200 display for a decade but it seems like all the new cards are overkill for that. Purpose is just general home use / gaming.

It seems possible. The 960 launched at $199. If Nvidia launched a 1060 at $229 with similar performance to the 480 it would take a lot of wind out of AMD's sails. The rumor right now is that the 1060 will be 1280 shaders with 6GB/192-bit memory,

These sell for $450 refurbed, though you need to keep checking for them to come in stock. I had luck in the mornings. http://acerrecertified.com/UM.HB0AA.001 Pair that with a 1070 when they are available for around $400. $850 for drat good 1440 setup. Or you could do a lot with a $200 27" Chinese Monitor and a $200 GPU too, totally depends on your budget.

 I've asked on the forums about the CPU as well and the general consensus seemed to be that it wouldn't make too much of an impact in the short term. Eitherway, I'm doing a similar price up, but opting for the 6600K because paying an extra £65 for an extra 500MHz doesn't seem worthwhile to me. First though I'm going to drop some cash on a G-Sync monitor because I'm using an old rear end Dell 24" from 2009 which is hardly ideal after buying a £400 GPU.

1070FE + i7-920 buddies! I got mine last night, and upgrading from a 560ti I'm really happy with it. 3D Mark graphics score (I know, benchmarks) went from 3322 to 17553, and despite all the chatter about the noisy FE cooler it's far quieter under load than the Asus DirectCU II cooler I had before.

Looks like 3rd time is the charm. Discouraged that my preorder for the FTW edition may be July at this point, I jumped on a Zotac FE that just popped up on newegg. It actually ends up being cheaper than the FTW due to no tax with Newegg. It may end up being louder, but I don't really care at this point. I don't exactly have a silent PC anyways. There's just increasing evidence that none of the custom cards are going to have much headway over the founder's edition when it comes to OC unless you start getting crazy with cooling. I'll keep the FTW order going until I get the Zotac card on the off chance it ships this week.

No one buy a monitor within the next 18-24 months if you can avoid it because HD Color is trickling down from the high-end TV space and that's going to make a bigger impact than anything else.

So, for those still stuck on 7970's (that's the 280x/380x basically, you just get 1 gig more vram for them), are you seeing the 480x as a worthwhile upgrade? I'm guessing we're looking at something like half the performance increase you'd get going to a 1070 instead? 1080p
