Granted, Doom 4 is really well optimized and you should be able to get 60 FPS out of a 1060 at 2560x1600 but if you want to be able to turn up the eye candy in other games you definitely want the 1070.

Jesus. That's quite a hike in cost. Not sure I can justify that. Will there be any significant bump in 4k video editing and encoding, which I do a lot off at the moment. Bear in mind I'm upgrading from a Radeon HD 7750.

Any consensus about the coolest / quietest aftermarket cooler for the 10x0 series? I'm trying to bunch up all the reviews to get an overal view but reviewers keep using different methods / setups to measure sound and temps... I'm leaning towards the MSI gaming X but if EVGA 3.0 ACX is as cool / quiet I'd rather get the EVGA to have a shot at stepping up to the Ti.

If the software you use for video editing/encoding can take advantage of the video card then yes, there would be a very significant bump for that workload. Mikojan posted:Any consensus about the coolest / quietest aftermarket cooler for the 10x0 series? The EVGA ACX 3.0 should be plenty quiet, I saw some reviews on youtube of it and until the fans are turned way up, like manually set to higher speeds than they would go in real life usage, they are very quiet. Though I would not bet on stepping up to the Ti, I expect it to be released some time next year, not within the 3 month step-up period if you buy any time soon.

Anyone with an overclocked 10xx or 9xx card have a problem in Overwatch where the whole screen get a yellow and then green tint? Doom has been running fine but I've lowered the core down for Overwatch without a fix. I saw others on Reddit mentioning it and one said he has to turn off the OC anytime he plays. Just Overwatch though.

I dont know what exactly its slamming so hard but it required me to turn it down. I dont remember the actual problem but it was definitely OC related visual errors with an overclock that worked fine with everything else.

World of Warcraft showed overclock instability on my GTX 1070 overclock where 3D Mark, Heaven and Doom all failed. Blizzard games tend to work out systems a bit differently than most other games, they tend not to be super graphically demanding, but will work your whole system more than most.

I had been getting some weird green artifacting in XCOM2 and Witcher 3 with my G1 1070. Often the system would hang and I'd need to resort to the power button. I'd tried DDU several times and was at a loss. Then 3 days ago, after much googling, I disabled the PCI-E active state power management in my desktop's balanced mode profile. Moving it from moderate power saving to off seems to have cleared up the issues. A few days and single digit hours of gaming isn't conclusive, but so far it appears to have solved the issue.

Pfffft, that sucks. I don't know where I got the 11th from, but I like that far better. I just want definitive answers, and I want to see if the RX 480 will be good enough with a non-hosed up power supply and a decent cooler. It's SO close to what I want, but it's not quite there...

I seem to recall someone holding a competition/giveaway for an AIB 480 with the 10th or 11th being the final day to enter. Some people jumped to the conclusion that the card would be launched on the 11th. That's probably what you heard.

JnnyThndrs posted:A lot. I went from a Radeon 6950 to a 7950@1ghz to a 780ti over the course of a few years in my gaming box and the 6950-7950 swap was huge. 6950's are an old architecture and the 7950 is GCN, which is still being used(in an updated form). Depends on when you bought the 7950, because GCN was rather underwhelming in 2012 and only 33% faster than a 6950 for $400+ is pretty bad IMO. It was much more attractive when it became $200 by Q3 2013.

Especially since it's still alive and kicking.

The only knock against it is that it doesn't support FreeSync. But it's a much better card overall than 7850s nowadays.

CPU is an i7 3770 3.4Ghz If you don't need the latest and greatest, some 980Ti cards are coming down in price well below a 1070. Would be more than enough for DOOM and will hold you over until you can get a current or next gen card, I think they're pretty close performance-wise.

A 980 Ti is still pretty drat close to a 1070, especially when comparing OC'd ones. It's still one of the top 5 or so fastest GPU's on the market with the 980 Ti, Titan X and 1070 all being really close in performance, only the GTX 1080 is really above any of those.

The 980ti will only drop in price for a while until stock dries up then they'll bounce back for the SLI premium. For what you want I'd get a used 970 or wait and see what the 1060 looks like under benchmarks.

Deuce posted:The fact that this is even a thing It's what happens when the target is 1.0v to 1.05v and yet that'll only give you 15-20% of the volume and skips the testing cost if you just set it at 1.15v and have 90% work. This doesn't seem to be AMDs fault, rather GloFo is an awful albatross around AMDs neck. I'm hoping for some firesale, 100-120$ prices on 380Xs when the RX470 drops, seems to slot well between an RX460 and RX470. Would it be fair to say GPU considerations by the start of August would be $600+: GTX 1080 $379-599: 1070 $300-378: 980ti $200-299: RX480 or 1060 (970 and 390X at very low end) $100-199: RX470, 380X, or 960 $99 or less: RX460 and ??? Also scores were leaked (so grain of salt) of the 1060 and it seems RX480 stock = 1060 stock and RX480 1.35Ghz = 1060 2.0Ghz. Guess it'd be really down to pricing then and if so It might be hard to recommend a 1060 except in power limited cases?

Either should be fine if you are okay with lowering details.

If you've got a hotshit 1080, you can obviously afford the premium. If you refuse to spend a dollar over $250 on a video card, you're probably hooked up to a 1080p TV anyway. It's like pointing out to a guy spending $95,000 on a car that a Viper costs $5,000 less than a Porsche.
