comes around goes around, I have an RX 470 but I have illusions the bullshit of either goes up and down.

Explain yourself. Why are Nvidia cards exploding? Has isis infiltrated the tech industry? Where did they touch you?

>>57303457
EVGA fucked up and the VRM overheats like it's Fermi.

>>57303457
MSI cards are blowing up and catching fire. ASUS cards have faulty fans. Palit and Gainward pulled the ol' switcheroo on VRAM.

>>57303457
Basicslly there's a minority of people getting shit aftermarket gpu's from evga. I think it's isolated to America.

>>57304302

You know, that might have been true a couple years ago, but now not so much. Their release cadence and driver stability has improved quite a lot in my experience. Hell, they already have a Titanfall 2 driver out.

>>57304520
I've switched away from AMD a few months ago, but back then their CF support was utter shit. CF ran like crap even in AMD games, like Total War: Warhammer.

Shit.
It was your fault falling for the multi GPU meme. Neither company has good multi GPU support (but AMD scales better when it does work).

Their VRM are dogshit, with only a few exceptions.

>>57305713
A better question is: where the hell are the socket am4 boards we should already be able to purchase along with the a12 apus?

Hey AMDbros. I'm an nvidiot with GTX 570 looking for enlightenment.
I'm sold on AMD due to compute performance per price.
The RX 480 has great compute performance on the level of GTX 1070 but it's lacking in graphics performance. So I'm wondering, should I get RX 480, or two, or wait for Vega next year? Will Vega introduce a card for the 400$ segment that will BTFO GTX 1070 both in compute and graphics?

>>57304883
amd drivers are still dogshit, especially in dx11. Fucking hilarious how incompetent amd's driver team is. Their cards perform much better in dx12 because their driver doesn't hold the h/w back.

I don't need to apologise.
I've owned a 6670 (incorrectly sent, was swiftly corrected), 6770, 7950 and now a Fury X.

>Friend used to compare his 660 against my 7950, saying his 660 was better

I know the 7950 is irrelevant these days, but fuck me, was it GOAT for its time or what.

>>57306711

>7950 doing better than 770, even despite less VRAM

I see someone made the mistake of getting a 4gb 770 (by default the 680/770 is 2gb).

You are no better than some other brands m8.

>>57306937
Ah, fair enough. My two posts are >>57306662 & >>57306711, so I wasn't aware that the 770/680 was 2gb standard.
All I know is I'm glad I chose the Fury X as my upgrade from the 7950.

All I want us sauce on cards exploding.

God, that must be an amazing feel.

I was so happy to get mine.

Fury x is aging pretty well but its no godmachine tahiti or the soon to be longevitiy king hawaii. Hawaii keeping up with the 980ti is almost criminal.

>>57307310
The best fucking thing about all of this is my memories of ALL the Nvidishills screaming that Fury X is a fucking turd and will always be a fucking turd. Crying out to the heavens that drivers can't improve the card and its only a meme.
Now look.
Now just fucking look at the card and its performance.
Meme magic is real.

GCN really is stretchinmg its legs these days and when their cpu overhead (namely murdering a single thread) is removed in DX12 we are seeing some serious gains. That said most people look at DX12 wrong - the real secret of it is to aid cpus not gpus.

Is the 8gb worth the extra money for 1080 gaming? I kind of feel it'd be best to future proof a little, but every little saved when doing a build adds up.

>>57307590
I paid express shipping (10$) and it took 5 days

Bought a 480 8GB a month ago. No issues whatsoever.

>>57307679
Jesus fucking Christ. That's worse than the Fallout 3 green everywhere. Eugh. That is a fucking disgusting filter they put on that. Who thought it was a good idea?!

>>57307566
>RX 470 4 GB extremely close in performance to RX 480 8 GB
>both the RX 470 and RX 480 have 4 GB and 8 GB versions

Are they just the same card? Is they why they're priced almost identically? What the actual fuck is going on here, somebody explain this to me, I'm genuinely at a loss.

>>57308416

The 4gb 480 is just bait to undercut the 6gb 1060.

I'm sorry you buy amd products.. that amd shirt you're wearing looks a little tight bruh.

>>57308455
>undercut

But it costs like $20 more on average from what I'm seeing on Amazon? Unless you mean the 4GB version that admittedly performs almost identically in most situations but still performs worse while saving you all of $40.

For fuck's sake, I can see why AMD is failing when their pricing is this fucking retarded based on a cursory glance at Amazon:
>RX 470 4GB - $220
>RX 470 8GB - $260
>GTX 1050 Ti - $140
>GTX 1060 3GB - $200
>RX 480 4GB - $220
>RX 480 8GB - $280
>GTX 1060 6GB - $260

>>57304801
This is untrue, while SLI is not that amazing either since it doesn't and never will support all games, CF is fucking dogshit. When I had CF there were "supported" games with year-old profiles that were still broken. Support on day 1 was essentially impossible, CPU overhead was even worse than single-GPU and AMD very frequently released broken profiles (late as fuck too). Their CF support quality went down the shitter in the last ~2 years and I've been running CF since the 5850s came out. Frame pacing is crap in most titles, even in cases where scaling is apparently good you can get huge frame time spikes on occasion, making the overall experience pretty shitty. I'm pretty sure AMD just went "lel fuck CF who uses that shit?" when the whole W10/DX12/Vulkan thing really started up and focused their already limited driver and game support efforts on those instead.

I remember benchmarking TW:WH (AMD game) when I upgraded from 290X CF to 1080 SLI. A 1080 is much faster than a 290X of course, but I went from 34FPS with shitty frame time to 85FPS at the same settings, that's 2.5X faster. A single 1080 isn't 2.5X faster than a 290X, a large part of that performance boost came from the fact that CF was running like shit, which was also obvious from the low GPU load in CF.

I don't care, I bought a cheap aftermarket 980ti when Pascal hit the market. The beast has been purring like a kitty in my system ever since

The 3.5GB+0.5GB design was retarded

Why did they add the extra slow RAM that that would only cause stuttering and they had to work around using the driver? Marketing purposes?

Its not the ram in of itself - its how the die is cut down from a 980 which gimps its access to the ram.

See also: how Nvidia lied about the amount of cache the chip has due to said disabling of parts.

>>57309301
Theoretically if used properly it could be helpful. Not having extra VRAM can't help. If you're using <3.5GB the cards can just use the fast VRAM, over that you either have literally nothing or slow shit. Slow shit could still be helpful if used for data that isn't frequently accessed, the problem is that it's not easy for the driver to tell when the game will want to access certain data as such any driver-side solution (which was also the only actual option) can't be very good, which is why some games had shitty microstutter.

You need competition to have innovation
AMD doesnt compete, they sell complete shit and rely on their retarded fanboys to buy it and make excuses as to why its good. Nvidia, knowing they can do whatever the fuck they want, holds their tech back, raises prices, etc.

AMD needs to die, have the x86 license sold off to some random chink company and theyll do more than AMD ever did in the last 5 years

>>57311214
>have the x86 license sold off
Their x86 license is specifically non-transferable.

>>57311214

> have the x86 license sold off

If you think the US government would allow this you are mental.

my g-d this is still up, its a slow day g

>>57311226
Intel was already considering selling one to the chinks

better have them behind it than AMD desu

>>57311255

What Intel want to do doesn't matter. the US gov already blocked AMD (or possibly Intel but i'm sure it was AMD) licensing some of their IP's out to the chinks.

>>57311255
Useless if AMD doesn't sell them a license for x86_64.
