Ironically overmeme runs better on nvidia cards.. and you might as well just buy something like a GTX 950 and get 60 FPS solid.

>>55720369
I'm saying if you're going tospendthat much to run two cards in SLI, why the hell would you run them air cooled and not water cool the SLI setup.
Not why don't you just water cool a single card instead.
If I'm going to spend $900+ on a pair of cards to run them in SLI or CF I personally cannot think of any reason I wouldn't save up to run a custom loop on them to keep them cool in the cramped space they'll have between them and in the case as the inherent airflow issues they'll have being in SLI/CF.
I'm saving to build a custom loop for my current build and I'm going to get the fittings needed to water cool a single GPU because I want to over clock the shit out of it.
I'm also waiting to get the GPU and block until I know which one I'll be buying.
For now I just deal with my secondhand shitbox status PC since I'm going to be getting a new CPU, GPU, case, and MoBo.
I just don't get it

>>55719933
Why would someone buy a 1060? It is weak, does DX12 and Vulkan terrible, doesnt accept SLI, no room for overclocking and a few more bucks you get a 1070 wich is a solid choice for pump up everything on max at over 120fps.

>>55720764
Because despite all of this at least it's not AMD.

>>55720764
"few more bucks" you mean like, 200 euro

>>55720369
asshole, hot air always goes up. AIB cards blows air to the sides ,thats why it have a backplate and sometimes it has a little bump on the oposite side of the connector.

dx11 games run good enough on both cards.
dx12 and vulkan games run better on 480
480 is also cheaper and can run in sli
amd also always seems to get better gains in driver updates
if you update your budget card every two years you're retarded
you're literally retarded if you buy a 1060

>>55720090
I would avoid EVGA, I am fucking certain that most people that suggest them are chills.

No you literally need a good CPU to gain any benefits from both DX12 and Vulkan. And this applies to both companies.

Fuck off shill.

>>55722108

>Yeah I totally want to have to pull apart my BNIB GPU upon arrival to realign the cooler

Why would you have to realign the cooler? Never had such issues with any Nvidia GPU whether EVGA, Gigabyte or Asus in the past.

>>55722895
Pull your fan shroud and loo closely at the alignment of the contact plate for your cooler to GPU core.
It's likely misaligned.
Most people I know who've bought EVGA cards had that issue, they perform fine, and it hasn't caused any sort of failures for them, it bothers me simply out of the mindset of having pride in your product and good QC
Basically my thoughts are
>If you can't even align the cooler so it's square on the GPU, what else did you fuck up through sheer negligence?

I bought a GTX960 for 150 instead of the rx480 because I was dissapointed at AMD

>>55721550
You don't need a good cpu, my 8320 received huge performance gains in Dolphin after they added DX12.

>>55719933
You paid more money for less performance in a year?

>>55720123
Doesn't the titan black still have better double precision than nvidia modern non quadro cards?

>>55723608
The 380 costs the same and gives you better performance even in DX11

>>55719987

they said the same fucking thing about DX11

but guess what?

didn't took off the ground because CONSOLES don't support it

so then, why would multiplatform developers would want to invest on implementing DX12 when what is available today works just fine

will DX12 improve gameplay? no
will DX12 reduce development costs? no
will DX12 increase sales? not unless your selling a benchmark too

multiplatforms aside lets focus on PC only devs, now given that Nvidia holds 60-75% of the marketshare, and their cards "don't support DX12 fully"

do you think they would invest resources to that smaller 25% playerbase, instead of investing them into game content to get sales from 100% of the playerbase

>>55724743
All the consoles are running AMD hardware which benefits greatly from DX12/Vulkan optimization

>>55725005
>If they gained such a benefit why are they releasing a .5 gen for with beefier specs instead of just doing 100% vulkan/dx12?
To many more money, and devs are lazy

Also Zen APUs are what should be in the new consoles, and the 40% IPC increase on the CPU is going to be pretty huge.

>dat feel when I'm still rocking 970 gtx and there is literally no reason to 1060 or 480
>Dat feel when I still play games at 2560x1080 on ultra/high details.

Feels good senpai. This gen is a joke for high end GPU owners. 1070 costs more than 400 bucks and in EU I can get a 980ti £50 cheaper. 5 fps gain and £30 price drop of 480/1060 seems so pathetic considering I've waited 2 years.

>>55725023
>and the 40% IPC increase on the CPU is going to be pretty huge.

Eh, gamers won't see any return on it due to games having to work on Scoripo and XBox One.

>>55725116
Scorpio is going to use Zen APUs, why do you think it's delayed until next year?

>>55725023
>Also Zen APUs are what should be in the new consoles, and the 40% IPC increase on the CPU is going to be pretty huge.

AMD isn't shipping their desktop cpu arch for consoles. Those custom SoCs use jaguar cores which are 1/2 the throughput of a bulldozer core and 1/4th the throughput of a bulldozer core.

PS4 neo has the same 4+4 core cpu design clocked higher and has a 36 CU GPU.

>>55725170
>PS4 neo
Ya but sony is retarded for doing that

>>55725156
I don't? Where did I say that?

I simply said games have to work on both Scoripo and XBox One. Meaning most devs are not going to do Zen style optimizations for a small market.

>>55725225

zen isn't gonna be used in new consoles anyway, it's not a full SoC design and AMD isn't fabricating 36 CU APUs.

>>55724743
Nvidia is actually more on the 80% for dedicated GPUs, while AMD is at 20%
To be honest the last real numbers I know from some weeks ago are 82% for Nvidia and 18 for AMD regarding dedicated GPUs.
Nvidia is at an overwhelming advantage.

Is 1060 overkill for 1080p and haswell i3? Would I be better served by a 750 ti? Replacing a dying r7 260 and want something better. Don't really want to replace CPU and motherboard at the moment. Maybe when the new CPUs come out at the end of the year I'll consider it.

Yes and they claimed huge IPC improvements for Bulldozer over Phenom aswell.
Reality was that IPC actually was at best equal if not slightly weaker and the chips overall only gained a better performance thanks to higher clocks and more cores.

I really wish they deliver and force Intel to lower their prices for the first time in years, but I will doubt everything they claim unless I see some real test or better have the chip in my hand to test it myself.
And their claims for oh so much better performance per W for the RX480 did not make lower my doubt.
I remember them claiming that two RX480 would even draw less than one 1080 when in reaility a single RX480 draws nearly as much as a 1080.

Deliver AMD, deliver AMD so that we can finaly see some progress and Intel is forced to care about CPU performance improvements again aswell.

Considering their equal performance(390(x)) uses 250W+, they delivered.

>>55727563
Yes even him!
If I remember correctly he is only officialy incharge of the team, but not directly invovled with the development.

As said, until they deliver I will doubt anything they claim.
I loved the good old time with my AMD 3200 and Radeon 9600, played HL2 really well.
Despite that they fucked up and lied too much the last years.
Sure you cannot say publicaly that your CPU (Bulldozer) is shit, but you should not have screamed to the world how super awesome it is going to be and raise super high expectations if you know it is shit.

>>55727615

Considering they lcaimed better performance per watt ratio than Nvidia they did not and getting better than their last product lines that had a really bad performance to watt ratio I say that the game to get better than those was not that hard.

Fellow autist here, I decided to check out videocardbenchmark.net to get an idea of what the best price:performanace ratio is out of all available cards right now and I immediately noticed some really interesting peculiarities.

For example, they list the 1060 6GB version as $249, but the RX 480 (8GB, but they neglect to mention which version and don't list the 4GB at all) at $462.

In the interests of fairness, I decided to see how that list would look with the RX480 divided into the 4GB and 8GB versions at their respective MSRP's of $199 and $239.

The RX 480 4GB jumps up massively to just above the 1060 6GB with a score of 38.72
The RX 480 8GB jumps up massively to just above the GTX 970 with a score of 32.24

Then, in checking the passmark benches, I noticed that the average score passmark was using included an outlier benchmark on the 480 that showed less than half of the performance of every other benchmark. Once you recalculate the average passmark score with that outlier excluded things change even more dramatically:

The RX 480 4GB jumps to 42.99
The RX 480 8GB jumps to 35.80

Pic related explains it in a better format

>>55727048
You won't be able to buy a 1060 anytime soon, but it's a great upgrade. Maybe wait for the RX470? It's going to be quite cheap.

>>55726789
consoles beeing 100% AMD. Already have async/vulkan/DX12 while nvidia has none of these. Consoles>Nvidia

>>55727901
Yes and this is one of the worst console generaations in history, with developers already before the release saying they are far too underpowered.

>>55727952
Developers can claw back some of that power using vulkan, but it's still crap.

>>55727952
That's not going to change anytime soon, because nvidia:

Does not have an APU
Does not have an API
Cannot even do async compute

They are a one-trick pony; dx11's era is ending and nvidia has no solution to dx12/vulkan.

Real reason why 480 is better: Freesync.
It's 100-200 bucks cheaper then g-sync.
Literally no other reason.

Nowadays, you either go with integrated sound or you get a receiver that takes optical out/USB and hook that up with whatever sound system you choose to have.

I am thinking of moving that direction as well. I have a Xonar D2X, and I think I would like a Creative X7 which can drive headphones and serve as a DAC for speakers independently.

>>55728158
Jesus Christ I swear, once nvidia releases their fully compute capable cards which will probably be Volta, amd are fucking done for. I'm not saying this from a fanboy perspective either. Once nvidia get their hands on the majority of game sponsorships then amd will truly be finished. Right now nvidia are only managing to cripple amd via closed source middleware but once they release their fully dx12 complaint architecture then they can cripple amd even more by just telling the devs to not optimize for the amd architecture which will be catastrophic especially with how these new api work. Amd will have all sorts of problems with games and it won't be limited to gameworks.

>>55728238
I don't know if they would. I am a bit pessimistic. I believe that Nvidia can squeeze more performance out of Maxwell cards if they choose to, and 980ti may be able to outdo 1070 for example, but they won't let it happen.

Don't deny the fact that the jewing for some of the entire 1000 range has been rather bad though. 1070 cannot be had at 380 bucks as we speak, 1060 actually did become available at 250 bucks, but only briefly.

Then again, AMD's just anemic.

I don't know how about you, but I'd rather wait for next series, especially that there's a very possible rumor that PS4 Neo is going to have underclocked RX480.

my question is why would they do that? If this is true I find it hard to believe that nvidia is paying off this many people to sabotage a "weak" competitor.

I mean i don't like to deal with the idea of some big conspiracy but the more you look into things the more it looks like either an active conspiracy (as in nvidia is actually paying off this many people) or a passive conspiracy (as in groups are trying to hold on to power and it just so happens to help another group which then helps another etc, or everyone doesn't care and just writes amd off without trying).

Yet developers are/will be more familiar with console architecture(AMD) and thus will be easier to port it to pc radeon gpus specially in the era of close to metal development(DX12 and Vulkan). Doom in Vulkan already showing it's capabilities using console derived shader intrinsics and this is just the start. Nvidia on the other hand, has a completely different architecture and development would be tricky and more expensive.

>Then, in checking the passmark benches, I noticed that the average score passmark was using included an outlier benchmark on the 480 that showed less than half of the performance of every other benchmark. Once you recalculate the average passmark score with that outlier excluded things change even more dramatically
The average score for the card is based on 131 samples, with an average score of 7637. The largest effect a single benchmark can have on the score is (that would trend it downwards) 58. So if you had 130 samples with an average of 7637, and then one sample with a score of 0, you'd the average score without that one outlier would be 7695. You said that the outlier was less than half of the performance, so the effect would be smaller, so it'd affect the score 30 or so.

Going from 7637 to 7667 wouldn't cause such dramatic changes in the price perf. Despite being an autist, you don't seem to be very good at math.

The price shit is accurate though, and that's why no one uses the site, among other reasons. Not the first time their prices have been wonky.

They deserve to fail. I honestly thought it was going to be better option than NVIDIA this time around, and their share price went up for a while. But now they can go fuck off the benchmark didn't live up to the hype. Greedy fuckers

>>55728962
Don't think they list them anywhere, so you're out of luck. Doing analysis on only 5 samples doesn't really get you anywhere. The 4 other results you see might be statistical outliers too for all you know.

1060 also shows pretty big variation in the recent benchmarks, with the scores varying from 8k to 10.5k, though it's not quite as big as that one sample in RX 480.

Regardless, passmark has always heavily favored nvidia GPUs, so I wouldn't put much effort to analyzing results from the site.

Looks like AMD's DX12 benefits come from doing horribly in DX11 rather than just being good at DX12, at least when it comes to this game.

At the moment, the only place where Fury X may 980ti is in Doom Vulkan. The advantage is not crushingly high at that.
The problem that I have though is that the cost for the Fury X doesn't justify it. Why would I buy the thing when I can have a 980ti at 400 bucks?

>>55729102
This, AMD is just shit in DX11 and OpenGL that's why we are seeing huge gains

>>55729156
Fury X are still 650USD here along with the slightly cheaper 980Ti

Same here. I was actually considering crossfiring them. Glad I just ended up buying a 1070.

>>55729312
>slightly
Tell me right now how is it that 400 bucks to 650 is just slightly cheaper? The price difference is a whole bracket, so wide that it's the difference of a 1070 to a 1080.

>>55729483
i was implying that FUry X here is 650 while 980Ti is still ~640 (meanwhile 1070s are as low as 440 USD now)

>>55719933
i did the same, who cares about vulkan or dx12 today? i have 60-130fps on ultra in doom in opengl i don't give a fuck that amd has 20more fps i play on 60fps screen. And in 3 years i will be changing gpu anyway, by then nvidia should fully support vulkan and dx12. Or who knows maybe async computing/shaders won't be used at all and vulkan will be DOA since only 3 games uses that and no new games this year supports vulkan.

This.

>>55729767
Really? Ouch. There's no sense to pursue the Fury X in US of A right now because you can easily find a 980ti at 400 and below. My new 980ti will come to about $340 after mail in rebate.

your AMD powered brain is copypasta

Please, tell me more on how AMD improves performance over years.

also
>everyone talked shit about the vram on the 970 and how it's gonna be necessary later on
>they are now recommending the 4GB variant to make the excuse that it's -$50 compare to the 1060

I am still gonna get a 480 because I want to try AMD, but the fans are fucking obnoxious.

>people with 144hz DVI only monitors from 4-3 years ago getting fucked over because of no DVI

my cousin had to buy a PSU for this card, which made the entire card cost $310.

than you are lucky they didn't sent you a missing screw GPU multiple times like they did to me.

>>55720861
Asshole, hot air does not always go up in the context of computer case airflow. It goes where it's directed by the fans, which in the case of open air graphics cards, is straight down

7850 here goes from 30% performance deficit to only 10% vs the 660ti

Seriously guys, memes aside, is it worth me getting a 960 now and then upgrading in 2-3 years, or just getting a 480 now and seeing how it goes?

>>55733364
Don't buy a 960.

Buy a 1060 or 480.

>>55720090
I don't know if Asus makes 1060s, but if they do, don't fucking trust their blowers. Their fans blow.. I mean suck.. I mean... They are not good.

>>55733364
960 is the worst purchase in recent history
just get a non-reference 480 or a 1060

>these 1070 prices

Will I notice an improvement if I get the RX 480?
I have a GTX 760 right now.

>>55734561
Of course you dumb nigger.

>>55734632
How do you know that?

>>55734632
But I have a shitty processor
i5 4670. And according to benchmarks AMD is shit with slow processors.

You're a sad sad man if buying a graphics card makes you so happy that you couldn't be happier, and its so pathetic that you so feel the need to seek approval from other people that bought the card from a company that doesn't care about you that mock the other company that sells cards that doesn't care about you, also be honest you were never considering the AMD card.

>>55728067
Loud huh? Where do you live?
I live in the UK and my Fury X was really quiet all things considered. The one time it got loud was when it hit some kind of software bug which forced the fans to 100% (despite only being 50-55c at the time, which is nowhere near 100% territory.)
These days I've got mine in a custom loop and the max load temperature dropped by 20c.
Pretty fucking shocking to see it having dropped by so much, considering it already had its own AIO.
