Rabid Snake posted:ugh polaris and pascal Oh please, you want to see venting? These said they were In Stock when I ordered them. IN STOCK. Now they are just stealthily bumping up the estimated delivery dates for eternity after they already took my promo gift cards, and I can't ask for a refund because the credit will go back on the expired cards.

Your daily r/AMD report: apparently some Sapphire guy blabbed out that their 480s are still being tweaked and can hopefully enter production, soon  Now the video has been taken down. OcUK and computerbase are ready to ship/review 1060s tomorrow with lots in stock, we'll see how long it lasts.

If it's over $300, gently caress that. Doesn't that make it worse performance per dollar than the $450 GTX 1070s?

Meanwhile, no reliable release data on the RX 470, which unlike the RX 480 should actually be an attractive proposition for its price bracket.

Rabid Snake posted:Consumers can poo poo on Pascal all they want with their lovely MSRP founder edition tactics. $100 (1080) / $70 (1070) premium for early adopters is pretty crappy to do. It's been a couple of months and we still haven't seen any cards go for true MSRP value. What a joke marketing wise. This is exactly why I like to peruse these threads and watch people melt down over the most insignificant things. Money + Impatience - Common Sense = Big Laughs

Should I just get this instead of waiting for AIB 480? http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814150729 I already have Warhammer so this key will be sold. Any experience with XFX rebates? Theres also a MSI 390 for $15 more.

I got really excited when I realized my Accelero Xtreme IV would be arriving Thursday because I'm looking forward to messing around with it. And then I realized I would be at the beach until Sunday on a fishing trip so I doubt I'll get around to it until sometime next week. RIP. Sidenote never order from the Arctic site itself. Ship times are terrible.

I'm kind of disappointed that PowerColor isn't doing a dual 480 card like they did with the 290 and 390. With the 490 probably not coming out this year there's a big gap at the AMD top-end and if they could manage to get a dual 480 out for ~$600 you know there would be plenty of AMD diehards that would eat it up.

Green Gloves posted:Should I just get this instead of waiting for AIB 480? I wouldn't, it puts out an extra hundo watts at all times. You could get the non-AIB 4gb XFX 480 and flash it to 8gb then slap on a $30 custom cooler like I did a few pages back.

Green Gloves posted:Should I just get this instead of waiting for AIB 480? I have an MSI Gaming R9 390. The problem is that the card produces 275W of heat when maxed out. No matter how good the cooler, moving that amount of heat off of the card and out of the case is hard to do quietly. The card becomes quite audible when running at full load. If you absolutely don't care for that and always game with headphones, then this isn't an issue. But I'd wait.

Quoting myself RE: Simultanius Multi-ProjectionHarik posted:That seems like exactly the kind of thing the driver could handle properly - present the surface as an ultra-ultrawide single display to the game, then do multi-projection based on the monitor positions you defined in the setup. Either it got lost in the price noise or it was such a stupid question nobody deigned to answer it.

I finally got to install my 1070 last week and so far it's awesome, although one thing I've encountered is kind of weird. When I auto-detect settings in Talos Principle, it sets everything to Ultra except for GPU Speed, which it sets to Medium. If I switch it to Ultra manually, it does 60fps just fine, and Shadow of Mordor auto-detected everything to max. Anybody know what could be happening? Rest of the system is i5-4590 / 16GB RAM. Card itself is the EVGA 1070 SC, drivers are fresh after DDU. I do have a weird resolution set (1842x1038 or something) thanks to overscan issues with my current TV.

Harik posted:Either it got lost in the price noise or it was such a stupid question nobody deigned to answer it. A few reasons you can't do SMP implicitly off the top of my head: 1. The driver has no reliable way to know which render targets need multi-projecting (you don't want to multi-project things like shadowmaps) 2. Raytracing/raymarching effects like SSR, POM & HBAO would break since they skip the VS transform and handle the projection manually 3. The frustum the engine expects and what actually gets rendered would be different, causing too much stuff to get frustum culled Maybe you could pull it off with enough game-specific hacks but it's just not worth the effort.

Between 4GB vram, 28nm process, HBM2 still on the horizon, GDDR5X coming out just now, underfunded driver teams, and DX12/Vulkan not "out" yet, it seems like if they had just held off a year...

God I really wish AMD had some better cards out so I could go for a FreeSync monitor. I really hope one of the standards becomes universal soon, because the *Sync division encouraging/forcing users to remain with one company is really lovely, I don't want to have to think about whether the card I want to have in 5 years will work properly with my existing monitors or whatever. e: \/ I've had a reference Powercolor 7870 for just under 4 years and never really had any issues with it (well besides the one I had to RMA after a few days when it started artefacting everything...) sout fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jul 18, 2016 |

Are there certain brands of cards that people find more reliable? I vaguely remember that people used to say Saphire and Powercolor were superior when it came to AMD cards, especially reference boards, but I don't know if that still holds true. Which manufacturers do people like for Nvidia?

Which manufacturers do people like for Nvidia? Nvidia has a "greenlight" program where supposedly all brands are held to the same standards of components. Any card can fail so you should go with whoever has the best RMA system (EVGA and MSI).

I've got my sights set on a 1070, but the prices and availability are still pretty iffy. I can put up with my 560Ti for just a little while longer if those are likely to improve in the next couple of months. That $399.99 Gigabyte on Newegg oughta come back in stock eventually, right?
