Perhaps "Armor" and "Strix" are the names of two characters in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Or male Ryder is a straight up technophiliac, banging video cards off-duty.

A refugee from the Mass Effect Andromeda thread. He's gone on his Pilgrimage looking for the animation quality. Makes sense to end up in a GPU thread.

Regrettable posted:I've been looking at an MSI Armor 1080 as well and I've had a difficult time finding reviews from a site I trust. The closest I could find was a 1070 Armor review that makes temperatures seem pretty decent. Are the temps roughly the same for 1080s as 1070s? ish. The 1080 is like another 25 or 30 watts hotter than the 1070 but it's not like a world of difference, if the cooler was insufficient it would be making GBS threads itself on the 1070s too Overall the MSI Armor are actually one of the better buys this generation since basically all aftermarket cards perform similarly apart from the crazy premium versions with super VRMs and binning and poo poo (which might get an extra 5%). If you are the kind of person who buys whatever EVGA's entry-level open-cooler ACX unit is - this is MSI's version of that card.

Tenacious J posted:I've recently realized that I care much more for performance (fps) over graphics quality (resolution). I was told that going with a 144hz monitor is "amazing" and "you'll never go back". I'm totally ok with 1080p, so what card would I need to drive a 144hz rig? Is a 1080 overkill? Depends what games you're playing and if you NEED NEED NEED to have everything at ultra or not. If you do, there is no such this as overkill. For example, TW3 set to Ultra (minus hairworks because gently caress even the 1080Ti chokes with that bullshit) at 1080p runs in the low 80FPS range on a 1070, the low 100FPS range on a 1080, and 125ish on a 1080Ti. So even at 1080p there's still room for improvement on a 144Hz monitor. That said, if you're not anal about having all the sliders shoved as far to the right as humanly possible all the time, you can probably get 100+ FPS out of most games with a 1070, which would thereby seem to be the best bang for your buck.

Snapped up one of those MSI Armor 1080Ti's. Thanks for the heads up. The 1070 just isn't fast enough to maintain 90fps in most VR games which results in a lot of sick friends not wanting to play, so the extra head room should help a lot.

Really with triple AAA games and/or ones with bad optimization, plus Sparse Grid Super Sampling Anti Aliasing, or even just DSR to draw the game at 4K then shrink down to 1080p, a 1ms 144hz 1080p monitor is not gonna be maxed out anytime soon. At all.

(i'm actually most likely upgrading to a 1080 ti for this exact scenario; my 980 ti isn't strong enough to hit 144 on some titles like titanfall 2)

A decent G-Sync monitor that covers the range of say 40-100 or 48-120fps is much better than chasing a 'locked' 144 by brute force. Any open air 1070 or 1080 will do just fine.

Don't poo poo talk G-sync until you live G-sync. It is honestly better than Freesync in every way, the only reason people may not like it is because of price.

The other reason to dislike it is that it's Nvidia exclusive and they refuse to support the open standard of Adaptive-Sync Supporting G-Sync is immoral Also AFAIK it's only actually better at low framerates, which is dealt with by using the price premium to buy a better GPU (unfortunately AMD has no good high end GPUs)

From my early XB271HU impressions, ULMB is way way cooler than GSync if the situation is perfect but is much more of a hassle. I wish I could have ULMB on the desktop at 120Hz and GSync in games at 165Hz but the config is really finicky and I've not quite figured it out yet. The GSync module doing ULMB (at least with >120Hz screens) is a super underrated feature. I just need to figure out if the bleed in the bottom right corner is enough for me to go to the hassle of getting it swapped. It is pretty minor but I feel it should be perfect for the price. December 2016 model, for reference.

The marketing for AMD cards, Freesync and now Ryzen is very strange to me. First we have RX480s which are top end except the Fury, but can't really do higher res's than 1080p that well. Next you have Freesync that doesn't cover as big of a range as G-sync specifically at the bottom end. Now you have Ryzen which AMD says is good for gaming but only at higher than 1080p, but what they really mean is it's more or less bad for gaming versus the competition so let's shift to metrics that look better when we bottleneck the graphics card. Basically they have a poorly aligned product stack. AMD card users are most likely to be under than 45hz Freesync threshold because they don't make top end cards. Now they're basically telling you to buy a Ryzen processor but use an NVidia card for resolutions 1440p and up. They really like the idea of an all AMD computer, as you can see with their foray into rebranded RAM and SSDs but no one should be buying an all AMD computer because their products are misaligned.

Not better in price!  (Once Vega is out, for most users, Freesync might become the better choice solely because G-sync is so expensive relative to an equivalent size/resolution Freesync monitor).

Yeah right now there's really no good amd card out to drive a high end monitor. Once vega is out, you'll however, for the same grand total get either a 1070+gsync or a 1080 equivalent (according to rumours it won't be better than 1080, but roughly on par)+freesync. I know which I'd go for.

The 10-series came out 10 months ago and the RX4 series came out 5 months ago. Vega will be out in maybe up to 5 months, and I think nvidia can put out another product by then. I don't know, I don't mind waiting for the next thing, but it's also horrible to live in the world of "maybe tomorrow". I've had my X34 for over a year and have loved every minute of it.

There is this on Vega: http://wccftech.com/amd-rx-vega/ WCCFTech salt now not later etc. 500sqmm seems kinda big for 1080 performance? Although GTX 1080 comes in at 471 so maybe not.
