Lets settle this question once and for all, /g/ - what is

The one with the highest clock speeds out of the box, and a good enough cooler to support it.

This goes for any GPU. Custom PCBs are a plus.

Im talking about value, not about raw power.

the RX480

>>55734840

the cheaper one you can find

>>55734739
Sapphire nitro+

>comparing 480 to 1070

lmao 480 can't even beat the 1060

When are the european prices expected to sell for the (european) MSRP, the inflation is fucking insane.

The 1080

Evga 1070 sc

>>55735175

But my buddy got the gigabyte g1 for cheaper than the EVGA ASUS or MSI variants and aside from those orange accents underneath he loves it.

I agree with this anon.

>>55736757
Then why are you asking about Nvidia

>>55736757
Unless you have a 1440p 144hz monitor then the 1070/80 is an irrelevant card. It's not good enough to run 4k yet it's crazy overpriced compared to more capable cards like the RX 480 / GTX 1060.


If you're doing 1080p/1440p ANYTHING then you should be getting something cheaper. If you're hoping for a 4k card then wait for the 1080 Ti or Vega series of cards. If you're hoping to play 1440p at high frame rates though, then it might make some sense.

>>55738017
even then, the 1080 still isn't enough to get the full usage out of a 1440p 144hz monitor.

I'm still using a gtx 780 for my MG278q and probably won't get a new video card until the 1180 comes out.

>>55734739
For the money right now? Probably the G1 Gaming. It has both a hefty factory OC, decent cooler, and improved power delivery for less than EVGA's SC variant (which uses the factory PCB).
There's also MSI's armor version which offers pretty much the same at the same price ($429) but with Gigabyte you also get RGB blinkenlights so that automatically makes it better. ;^)

>>55734739
Founders Edition. For a bit extra cash you get a premium quality product direct from nvidia.

kek

cheapest card with a waterblock manually OCed

>bought a Kepler
>it gets gimped as fuck
>still wants to give Nvidia more money
You must have really bad Stockholm Syndrome.

>>55734739
Sapphire Nitro

>>55734739
Palit
Gainward
EVGA

EVGA aluminum cased card design
ASUS RGB LEDs on card woho! Nice backplate
MSI windforce super-duper sleek fans

All of them are reputable companies. Personally I like the RGB cards if you have an open case design.
