Hope some good news comes out soon. My new build is sitting GPU-less (aint putting my 560ti in there).

I read somewhere about some guy saying if you dont wanna game above 1080p stick with an older card like a 770? Sounds dumb cause new games wouldn't work as well, eh?

Kotaku posted about it.

http://kotaku.com/the-next-battlefi...dium=Socialflow

quote:

The PlayStation Store leaked the new Call of Duty, so it’s only fair that Xbox gets to leak the new Battlefield. This morning, that’s what happened, with the above image popping up on Xbox Live as part of an advertisement for the new reveal stream.

Meanwhile, Reddit’s got a retail leak confirming that the game’s called Battlefield 1.

The shot appears to confirm previous rumors that the next Battlefield will be set in an alternate version of World War I. There’s a big zeppelin and a WW1-era trench club, among other details. I think it’s safe to assume that there won’t be any magic, despite the main character looking straight out of Doctor Strange.

We’ll have more later this afternoon once EA does their official reveal, so stay tuned.

Hardware Canucks review was great (is that site actually based here in Canada? The prices that came up were all US :( ). It's about 30% better than a Titan in most aspects it seems.

I wonder if it can handle SSAA 2x / SSA2X + CMAA in WoW which at the moment cuts frames in half.

I am on a 1080p, 27" 60mhz monitor - so maybe 1070 will be better but hey... 1080 is just that extra for extra AA.

Everything in Canada is backordered minus the stock coolers which you can find at some stores online.

Is it safe to call it a shitshow? I dunno. I am not hurting without my 1080 but it'd be nice to have it. I am in queue at EVGA still.

The video is great though - Crews is coming from a good place. He most likely got a list from somewhere and just went with the best. Tons of sites like for instance MMO Champ list their "Unicorn" builds.

And he got a sweet NZXT - I wish I got that instead of my Corsair now.

So since old Pascal slides show Volta as being like double the performance of Pascal, would it not make sense to wait for 2018? If a Titan XP can give playable 4k, I can only imagine what GTX 1180 would do for gamers at large.

But then the newer than Volta thing is shown.... you may need to wait till 2019! :engleft:

1070 coming today. :3:

Do I need to uninstall any previous drivers? I've had a 750ti sitting in this new machine for 3 months now (I couldn't do onboard for 3 months in this new machine and my 560ti was too loud) from EVGA. Aside from uninstalling all the EVGA poo poo will the nVidia things be fine?
