Lockback posted:I went from a 770 to a 1070, so that was a big jump. If I had a 970 I'd probably wait another generation. Everyone and their wallets are different though. Yeah, I'm still happy enough with my 770; my monitor only does 60hz anyways so I figure I'll upgrade that and my video card whenever the 1170s or whatever come out.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:Why is $50 magically being added to the price by having good drivers at release? I'd rather have a card that performs well at release than a card held back by bad software. Also if a card looks like it has bad performance but will get better later on that is actually terrible for consumers because it becomes much harder to make an informed decision on what to buy, sure people who bought a R9 290 got a good deal, but what about the people who bought a GTX 770? They got screwed, and not by Nvidia, but by the inability to make a good purchasing decision caused by AMD's awful DX11 drivers. Trying to turn bad drivers into a selling point is silly fanboyism. I have a GTX770 from 2013, how did I get screwed? Not being pedantic, seriously asking. Is it that AMD's card was actually better but the lovely drivers at the time made it look like it wasn't?

Yeah, there's still this idea that well adjusted adults don't play video games, which is obviously wrong. Sure, I know jobless goon poopsockers who game 60 hours a week, but they're the exception and not the rule. Gaming will be our (I'm assuming our) generation's golf so far as networking and socializing goes. Point is, quit with the XREEEEME MonitorZ and the other garish poo poo.

VulgarandStupid posted:EVGA just started some sort of Elite membership program. I guess they'll let you get in on the pre-orders and such. It's a free program but I guess you need to own either an EVGA video card or a few of their other products to join it. Seems pretty silly, though. The power supply is the only part of your PC that can brick the rest. A good rule of thumb I've always followed is to have 20% more than your system needs at peak so you aren't running it at capacity all the time (thus wearing out the only part that can kill your pic faster).

I'd imagine YMMV depending on what's acceptable to you, but I've been really happy with the card from 2013 to most of this year. I'm forcing myself to wait for Volta. But then I'll end up building a whole new computer. Goddammit.

Okay, not directly a GPU question, but I figure the people here would know the answer -or be able to explain it better I suppose- to this question. I was playing Wolfenstein 2 on a GTX1070// i5 4670k ( a four year old processor); the game looks goddamn incredible and runs like loving butter, never dips below 60 frames @1440. What makes one game run so goddamn well while another less fancy game runs like dog poo poo? I know the part of the answer is optimization and drivers, but what makes something like Wolf2 that looks so good run so much better than another older shooter?

crazypenguin posted:Optimization shouldn't be brushed away. Sometimes people think of optimization as small incremental improvements, but really there are large structural things that can lead to literally a factor of 10 to 30 improvements in performance. Games rarely target being better than "good enough" and some of these are things where if you gently caress it up from the beginning then give up because it'd be a full rewrite to fix. Jesus Christ. I suppose I always knew that graphics are complex, but reading that gives me a better understanding of why idtech6 runs so well; the level of effort and creativity to get things to render so well is nuts. I definitely have an appreciation for how much work goes into an engine now. Thanks for the post!

DrDork posted:You are correct. That said, the inefficiencies of it are made up for by the overall speed of the card, so a 1080Ti still mines faster than a 1080 or 1070. The reason the 1070 is so popular for mining is because it is the most cost-efficient. Compared to the 1080Ti, a 1070 mines at about 70% the speed while only costing about 55% as much. Probably closer to $4.50 or so, my 1070 is pulling $2.50-3.00 today.

It seems tragic that Freesync monitors are cheap as hell, but AMD top tier cards are garbage compared to Nvidia’s best. I can’t bring myself to dump a grand into a 144hz 1440 Gsync monitor when I see sub $300 Freesync monitors floating around.

Ah yeah, I’m sure they are TN (ew), but I’ve seen 144hz at stupid low prices. I go back and forth on whether or not it would be worth going to TN. IPS just looks so much... richer?

I’m not married to Nvidia or anything; if AMD made a card that was objectively better per dollar, I’d switch to them. That being said, why would anyone use AMD cards (unless they’re getting them used at a great price or some outlier case)? Their flagship from a couple months ago is barely better than Nvidia’s second best card at a price that’s higher. I mean... I just don’t understand what their strategy is. There’s no reason I can think of -as someone who plays video games- that would make me think about switching. They’re not competitive on performance and they’re not competitive on price. Do they understand how business works? I want them to do well so NVidia has competition and a compelling reason to not raise prices (lol) and AMD is just making GBS threads the bed.
