>>55602870
>Is it still NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti ?

Where did the meme come from that the 750 Ti was a good perf/dollar card? It was literally never good value for money. Its selling point was entirely perf/watt and the unique performance profile it offered for a slot-powered card. In terms of actual raw performance versus price, it was always massively overpriced.

I don't know where are you from but I struggle to find a rx480 under 300 euros. The cheapest I found was 310.

To give you an idea of prices around here cheapest GTX 970 sits at around 350 euros. fml

>>55608011
Good to know. I was planing a trip to Germany this summer so might as well buy it from there if the prices won't go down. By that time the GTX1060 will be out as well, hopefully will not the GTX960 2.0.

>>55608766
What's wrong with the 960?

The difference in power consumption between it the 280 and the 380 made it the better choice. Gtx960 was a really nice card, except for the asus strix.

>>55609039

>>55609039
this is an estimation, but around 51fps with an average CPU

>>55609110
That's some high quality crackers right there.

How many years until 1080 level performance is available at 480 prices? High end graphic card prices are just ridiculous. It blows my mind that people not only pay that much, but pay even MORE for shitty reference designs because demand drove up the prices

>>55609124
Just for transparency, I used the techspot overwatch benchmark. In the Benchmark they used the i7-6700k and got 68 fps. I then went to the CPU section and found the 28.1623% Difference in performance between this and the i5-4690k. From there it is just math, .7531 * 68 = 51fps.

>>55605324

>>55609507
Probably similar to 480 but more expensive.

>>55609507

hard to beat the 980 ti which you can pick up for as low as 350-380 nowadays

>>55610495
and how does an overclocked 960 perform? both sides of the equation have to be balanced dude

>>55602870
The 7950 is the best used, simply because of overclocking. Mine matches a stock 970.

>>55610980
7970 can match a 970, 7950 trails behind a little bit. Probably overtakes it in dx12

>>55602889
Does that graph still have the 295x2 at its original MSRP? You could get a new one for under $700 new a year ago.

The cheapest 8GB card I can find is $320

>>55612914
That's what you get for Brexit.

>>55602870
Right now? The RX480, no contest. The RX470 might be a better option and the RX460 is going to be cute as fuck.

>>55612928
Brexit is irrelevant. Price gouging happens all the time with everything. It happened llong before Brexit and will happen long after it.

Has anyone noticed that the 480 is pretty much the highest demand card right now?

Shit started at $200 price point, but it keep selling out that the price is slowly inflating. It increased to $210.. then $220. Now the cheapest price for these cards is $240 and it's still sold out.

The 480 is the best price per performance in the US.

>>55612888
>benchmarks
>when game performance is now dependent on whether you're using DX11 or DX12/Vulkan now

>>55612967
The last price gauging before it happened with the anti-Russia sanctions.

Free trade lowers prices while nationalism increases prices.

Is the 480 a worth while upgrade from a 960 for 1920x1080? I wouldn't mind messing with Skyrim mods a bit more...

This doesn't affect anyone right now, no one is buying a 7970 because "maybe" its slightly better in some super specific scenario in the future "possibly' and only affecting that small fraction of games that come out that support it...

Get real.

>>55612992
My 970m in my ASUS (not alienware) laptop is equal to a GTX 960 which scores higher than a 7950 on that stupid "doom" test.

>This doesn't affect anyone right now

It affects everyone playing Doom. I'm sure it'll effect more and more games in the near future.

>>55613148
>It affects everyone playing Doom

ie, no one.

Point is, async compute isnt even required in the DX 12 API. The 10xx nvidia series has support for it so moving on it wont matter.

Yes, some radeon hardware will see some support increase but the titles will have to be DX 12 AND support Async compute. Right now thats one title isnt it?

Maxwell handles it fine enough that its not a big deal unless youve got a kepler card, in that case you should already be thinking about upgrading since that arch is a few years old now.

Then we have got this rage thread here that doesnt show AMD in the lead.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/223850/discussions/0/366298942110944664/

Its a 10% boost at best but its all these AMD shills have left to hold on to.

I need a card for max 200€, imo the GTX750ti looks fine, why the hate? I rarely play games and if i do i play games that arent demanding, energy consumption is good and for 150 i cant see why i should get anything else?

>>55614592
They're good. They keep getting better. I have multiple cards from both as I have seven machines for gaming and productivity. I lean more AMD now since my Nvidia cards seemingly die within two years or just choke. I did install a couple of GT 730's 2GB GDDR5 in casual machines since they were the best price performance at the time compared to the 240/250 cards this month.

>>55602889
What year is it? Seriously, why those fuckers never put date on their charts?

>>55614649
The nice White MSI PCB 730's too. Fifty bucks a piece hard to pass up with 2GB GDDR5 not that DDR3 trash.

So NVIDIA is pretty much the BMW of GPU world. Nice, expensive, good performance, absolute shit tier life span and reliability past certain age.

AMD is pretty much Honda/Mazda of GPU world. Can git gud, great reliability and life span, cheaper, looked down upon

>>55614670
I wouldn't generalize things that way since I think AMD still has the fastest card on the market or did until recently. They aren't cheaper either. Poor analogy.

None of those are worth £200. Maybe like £120, 960 is a piss poor card too.

>>55608056
>don't kick in unless it hits 60c
that's when solder starts to get mushy

my card is hotter than yours no doubt
and I've found that ramping fan speed late results in more heat and noise than just running the fan at a medium speed well before hand
and a constant noise is also easyer to get used to

at 47% (1511) there is no noise above the 140 mm case fans @ 800 rpm
between 48% (1550) 50% (1660) is a little wirr

heat soak for the metal alone happens at around 70 degrees
at around this point only a little more than 60% (2077) fan speed is needed to hold tempreture

above this point extra airflow has little cooling effect
even with fans at 100% (2890) tempreture will not drop more than a degree a miniute till the gpu downclocks to its idle

not so bad as my old cards vrm issues

I have been feeling for a while that gpu have become too hot for the pci standard dimensions

with double slot cards weighing a little more than a 1kg
and triple slot getting well over 2kg

the only older cards that come close are hard drive and floppy disk controllers (over a foot long and a solid kg of microchips)

without resorting to water cooling I think its time to move the GPU to an socket with a cabinet secured backplate like LGA2011
then the same tower coolers that cpu use can be used

come to think of it why don't double slot gpu just use 120x25-12 mm fans ?
it would free up user options and allow for standard fans with a higher static pressure

>>55619005

You can't get the fans and heatsink inside a double slot profile - at least not a heatsink capable of handling a 200w gpu.

>>55619085
I have done some measurement
many dual slot cards exceed pci slot size and waste space with ineffective cowling
so much in some cases that a 25mm thick fan would fit flush mounted in the same space
also because of the cowling on dual slot cards they are slightly more than 120mm deep

and with htpc becoming a thing there are many more 12 mm thick 120 mm fans available

>>55619460

Those thin fans have shit airflow though, which is a major problem.

>>55620166

In theory yes, in practice multi-gpu is barely supported in the grand scheme of things and in games where it isn't supported you can actually get negative scaling (due to additional cpu overhead).

D onot buy reference ANYTHING. Wait a couple of weeks and grab either a GTX 1060 (Non-Reference) or an RX 480 (also Non-Reference) nigga.

Fan Speed 800( ± 30%) ~ 2000 rpm (± 10%)
Noise Level 19.53 ~ 33.67 dBA
Airflow 19.40 ~ 45.47 CFM

they are around the same thickness as stock fans
but the stock fans are only around 90 mm and have less surface area
generally the major heat source is between 60 to 120 mm away from the front plate
and the voltage regulation although a lesser heat source needs its own cooling

either way there is allot of un tapped potential

Free trade lowers prices because all the jobs used to make those products get outsourced to 3rd world shitholes much easier.

Just ordered a 1070, not top of the line, but it's still a huge upgrade for me.

Your 550ti is actualy = to my 4890. Although i have more vram and yours is dx11 compatible.

>>55616539
750ti can run bf4 on ultra. If you have something like a skylake cpu you should have no problem running any game, besides those that will come out in the following years

I have parts coming Wednesday, is it worth sticking my thumb in my ass and waiting for a reasonably priced 480 or just getting a 390 now?

>>55624975
The real question is "why do you keep waiting for these incremental improvements?"

See you held on to your money for later but in the same amount of time you could have increased your budget, got something with a more significant increase in performance than these extra waiting stages offered and then just forgot about it for 1-4 years.

>>55620708

You're right, waiting is a meme. Reference/FE' 1070/1080 overclock the same, if not more than aib ones

Is a 950 a good choice to upgrade my stone-age gpu?

>>55619585
if you're going to go dual gpu then at least do SLI, which actually had some semblance of game support

If you're using Maya, you're stuck with nvidia, as it supports cuda. Check which GPUs work best with the programs you're using.

Fucking this, was going to buy a gtx 970.
Now I can't decide between the 480 and 1060.
Really depends on what's cheaper in my country. Plus 480s all seem to be out of stock here.

For the sake of argument, he also did not specify what resolution. And if you`re trying to buy a 100$ GPU, there is a chance you may not have a 1080p display.

>>55630195
Decently better than a 480 in DX11, but the 480 was slightly better than a 390 in Doom. For that price or less, I`d say it`s plenty worth it. Less than the super gouged 480`s, and barely more than the retail ones when they`re actually available. It`s all GCN so it`ll be supported until they come out with an entirely new core. Though they`ll probably just continue to make revisions for the forseeable future like nvidia does with cuda.

Had to buy a 600 Watt PSU though, which put a hole in my pocket.

>>55602870
A used 7750 off ebay for like $20.

It utterly, utterly shits all over the GTX 1080 for perf/$ :^)

>>55630236
Sapphire refurbs on newegg are fucking awesome. Got my 7950 for like 150$ a year and a half ago. Not sure what the 750ti was worth back then. Probably the same price or more.

Strange, my Seasonic 500W powers my energy guzzling Phenom II + 7970 system no problem, even with several hard drives and SSDs.

Preowned?
Definetly a GTX670

The R9 290's go pretty cheap aswell, if you swing that way

Wait for Sapphire RX 480 or buy a 1070? I am buying my PC now and buying GPU tomorrow.

>>55631115
1070 is more powerfuller than a 480
An aftermarket 480 with an additional overclock might start coming close to a stock 1070

The 480 will however be better in vulkan/dx12

You probably won't be able to buy either of them tomorrow, everything is out of stock.

It sucks, really. I still use i5-750 and GTX 660, you know.

NVidia should not be even considered if you are looking for newish "value" GPU.

Also all those retards trying to shill you 960 and 970 make my sides hurt. They are not even good if you are not looking for value.

>>55633566
Also 1060 and 1070 are horrible.

One of the 7970 s like the GHz edition or the matrix or sapphires toxic were practically at the next gens release level and the archeticure hasn't been changed for the top end so if you have a non reference 7970 you have something that beats the 970. Its over clock even compares a little too well considering they're not even the same generation.

>>55613014
The new special edition has an updated engine allowing for mcuh better use of computer resources , most notably the move from 32bit to 64 bit. One should expect higher performance without upgrading, Howe er the move to a 480 would serve you well as missed skypeon uses lots of cram and the 480 has double the 960s.

If you use higher resolution models or textures you will see vast improvement. You should also have 8gigd or more of ram to see the most improvement in special edition skyrim
