Is it a good or a bad time right now to buy a GTX 1070?

>>58350589
Bad.
Vega should cut prices like the RX 480 did to the 970

Vega is going to be so good
Don't waste your money on a 1070

Vega is going to suck and 1070 is a nice power/price compromise if you want a green gpu now

wait and see

>>58350589
Want Nvidia? Get 1070. Can wait? Wait for Vega.

>>58350589
Do you need a GPU extremely soon? GTX 1070 is good.

Do you think you can wait for ~3-5 months? Vega may shake up things.

very fucking bad.

When AMD releases Vega cards the prices on 1080's and 1070s is gonna crash.

You will literally see sub 300$ 1070s when vega drops and 1080 will be under 500$ maybe even cheaper depending on vega pricing.

So wait a few months and you still get your faggot nvidia cards but you pay less for them

you wanna 4K? wait for vega. You dont wanna 4K? get the 1080. You dont wanna 4K and you dont want to spend 650$ on a 1080? wait for vega.

If AMD spent half as much on R&D as they do on paying shills they'd blow NVIDIA out of the water.

>>58350763
1070 is still overpriced.

Anything over the 1060/RX470 is overkill.

>wait wait wait
Fuck off. Stop waiting for AMD to release anything good. We waited for bulldozer and it turned out to be even worse than the predecessor.

>futureproofing
Don't make me laugh.

>>58350811
A retarded concept.

>>58350811
An unwise concept

>>58350811
Impossible and pointless if you ask most people on here. However, if you look at the price of Nvidia GPUs from several years back to today. And even consider that 7 years ago you could buy what is generationally speaking the equivalent to the Titan X for 500 fucking dollars. Now people are excited to spend 750-900$ for a cut down version of an already cut down gpu. Future proofing and getting any actual value out of a high end nvidia card is a sentiment most sane people wouldn't dare humor.

>>58350838
Idk anon.
I7 870 + 4GB GTX 680 here, still running everything on high or ultra settings. I'll upgrade my pc when it can't handle games on medium settings.

>>58350777
I agree. The 1070 should be sub 350$ (970 prices) and the 1060 should both be sub 200$ like some models of the 480

Nvidia is price jacking and the only way to stop it is Vega being released.

>>58350888

Overhaul it for 4k.

Freesync, HDR, 4K@144hz, with an 8 core 16 thread CPU and sit on it for the next ten years.

>>58350761
>1080 not 4k capable
Senpai
A 980ti is more than 4k capable

>>58350589
Bad

>>58350888
been meaning to ask someone about that cpu. was thinking of doing a build but the only shitty thing is finding a decent 1156 board.

so that thing actually still holds up today? nice

>>58350933
Was actually thinking about that. 4k should be much more viable in a couple of years which is when I'm expecting to upgrade.

>>58350970
Grab a good board anon. I'm using a gigabyte p55a-ud3r usb3 and it's held up running at 4.1 ghz for years.

I can push it to 4.4ghz but it isn't worth it for the extra heat. I can post a pic of mine when I get home if you want, and a screenfetch.

>>58351005
yes

china may be my only option

Forgive my bad cable management, it's an old pc and it's due for an upgrade in a year or 2 so I stopped caring

>>58350761
AMD also called the 470 a "1440p card"

>>58350589
it's fine. autists overreact to the vega hype. it might make 1070's drop by 50$ MAX but it will probably release Q2 2017.

you basically gotta evaluate if you want to save 5 bucks for 4-6 months of waiting.
I'd try to find a good deal and get it.

>>58350633
480 did absolutely nothing to 970. 970 was probably best selling card of 2016 considering steam survey and Amazon bestsellers and that's because 480 was a pile of shit and because old NVIDIA line up gets cheaper when better faster series comes out. Your logic makes absolutely no sense, 970 became cheaper cuz of 1060, that's it. AMD has nothing beating 980 ti at this time and you could buy it for less than 1070.

Lol fuck amdrones and their eternal "wait for x" bullshit. If you want and can afford something, just get it.
Who gives a fuck if prices drop a little in 6 months, you've already got good use out of it by then.

>>58351841
waiting for GPU's is my hobby. currently waiting for vega. once that comes out I'll have a short little wait for the 1080ti and then the real fun begins, waiting for volta.

fun times ahead.

You will never by anything if you always "wait for X". Just buy something that fits your budget.

>>58351841
I'm sorry nVidiot, but I won't buy a new card every year because the old one got gimped by drivers.

>>58351967
Better not buy amd then

Terrible time to buy high end. Fine time to buy mainstream. 4gb RX 480s @ $159.99 on newegg.

W8 for Vega for high end unless you want to get mega jew'd.

>>58350589
vega is due to 1h 2017 that means till june 30

the refresh of pascal aka maxwell 4.0 is due to come this year

vega isnt going to compete with puny pascals at all its going against volta

so if you want to buy something now to hold you for more than 2 years i suggest a 480

>>58352062
lets see..

cgn 1.0 from 2011 having static ace engines not capable to flip or jump the workload midcycle
vs gcn 1.1 and the rest that are capable of doing this..

>amd gimped cards from 2011 hurr durr

meanwhile on nvidia
http://www.nvidia.com/page/legacy.html?ClickID=a99vnsnakt9vptnrsaytrpvrkwwss9llnsks
the entire series of what nvidia said that will get dx12 support is on legacy after 1.8 years on sale

KEK

1080ti fucking when
Fucking huang just name a date u fucking chink how much do i need to wait

>>58352926
Right after Vega. That means never.

Buy GTX 1080 if you are poor or https://geforce.com/hardware/10series/titan-x-pascal if not
