Should I just stop waiting for it and get a 1080?

wait for Vega

>>58397464
unless your performance is complete ass in games you want to play and need something now, just wait for whatever, 1080 ti, vega, that shit.

>>58397569
but I thought the ti doesn't exist, I don't wanna waste my time waiting for something that doesn't exist.

>>58397783
There's going to be a 1080ti. It will be just about as powerful as the titan while costing a whole lot less. Is it worth it to wait when the 1080 is better performance per dollar? How much are you willing to spend on the ti brand? If your pc sucks dick and games are unplayable get a 1080 now. Just make sure you at least have a 1440p monitor with at least 100hz refresh rate. Otherwise just get an rx480

You better not have a shitty monitor

>>58397783
nvidia is holding it off as a response card to vega. if amd plays their cards right, nvidia will be forced to bring their prices back down closer to 900 series prices.

Don't be a waitcuck. Get a 1080 and a 1440p 144hz monitor.

are you actually retarded? a 1080 goes for $580 on amazon these days which is damn near the price of the 980, which also sucks. even though the 970 had 3.5gb usable vram it was still an awesome card for people with a 1080p 60hz monitor. it was by no stretch of the imagination a 1440p card

only attempt at an argument you made but it is unspecific and undetailed, has no actual cost analysis from nvidias end.
>gsync is great. no tearing, no input lag, no additional gpu workload. nvidia has the right to charge for technology and products they developed. literally every company does this
g-sync has caused bloat in the monitor market with never dropping prices and the nned for a $150 module. freesync does 90%+ of what g-sync does at near zero cost.

the ti this round is significantly cut titan, not slightly like last time, it should be halfway between 1080 and titan.

>>58397876
I really hope amd is just waiting for the 1080ti to happen, so they can push big vega right after, kinf of a reverse of what happened with 980ti and fury.

>>58397996
vega looks like it could either be a new core architecture, or they implemented what made maxwell so efficient.

if its new core, look at the 4870 and how it crushed nvidia at a VASTLY cheaper price, and then the 5000 that refined it and was still cheaper. then the 7000 line that again beat nvidia's at the time and went toe to toe with the next lineup till the 780ti, and over time still came out on top in many cases.

amd has a VERY good track record with new architectures on the gpu front.

>>58398332
so many of nvidia's practices year over year, cululateing in the need to use vista for a feature I wanted was my last straw. amd thankfully has and likely always will remain a very viable option, sometimes the best, sometimes the best for price.

>>58398926
not his fault everything is labeled so fucking stupid from game to game.

>>58398711
you are pointless. we can't get everything we want exactly how we want them. gsync cost money to develop and nvidia will charge you if you want to use it. freesync is inferior and still costs money. the answer to why nvidia's new generation of cards cost so much initially is literally just supply and demand. I agreed that the 970 turned into a clusterfuck. if nvidia is a monopoly it isn't due to them buying out the competition, which is illegal. its because no one has been able to compete with them

I hope vega is competitive with nvidia on the high end but I am doubtfull. I'll just have to wait and see

>never buy amd if you want longevity.

Biggest lie ever. People are running HD cards that have aged well, the gap between 1060 and RX 480 has closed, and people are still rock 390x cards and the like for years. Even the FX-8xxx trumps the i3 in multitasking, which matters if you're gayman alongside having 20+ tabs, playing music, and shitposting.

AMD cards are more practical. Nvidia cards are only good until the next series starts to launch.

>>58399118
If there was a bug, I want to know the performance before and after, seeing as it took what, a month or so before someone noticed anything, I find it hard to believe that async added anything to gcn 1, I have a gcn1 and would rather the game not crash/take system with it if the gain to performance is next to nothing.

still wish they would tell us more... at least its better then the heaven benchmark and nvidia where they made old cards worse, for no reason, removed all threads of it ever happening, and moved on like nothing happened.

I had a 980ti with my old faithful 1080p monitor I got in high school for my xbox 360. That card tore the fuck out of that monitor so I got a predator x34. Don't think I'll need another monitor for 5-7 years or so

Try not to get mad when the owner of a really shit tier 60 Hz monitor tells you he's getting 200+ FPS, so obviously he shits all over the plebs getting pathetic ~100 FPS.
What is even the point of spending a year's worth of allowance on a GPU when you're still on the office grade TN panel you got used on letgo?

Should screencap this because when and gets trashed you always come back saying it's expectations that where wrong

>>58400037
Big upgrade, especially at 1440p and beyond.

>>58399305
Still want to know more on the bug, and what performance was with and without, but mocking nvidia because they don't have it period is still a reasonable thing.

>>58400037
its only 300 higher. so yeah its a decent upgrade

>>58400037
well lets see here, a 780ti preforms around a 960 when nvidias ass isnt held to the fire to make the drivers better

a 960 is garbage
a 970 is substantially better
a 980 is substantially better then a 970
a 980 ti is a fuck load better then a 980
and a 1070 beats out a 980ti

that said, if you are on a 780ti you can wait a few months for price drops on nvidia hardware, or chose vega.

Wishful thinking. Why would nvidia want to cannibalise sales of both the 1080 and Titan X? They are the two most powerful cards on the market right now.

>but Vega
I'll believe that when I see it. Please prove me wrong AMD, your top-end cards have been so outclassed by nvidia for so many years.

*If* they release a 1080 Ti it will come immediately before Volta as a way of selling off their stock of GP102 chips that didn't make the grade for the Titan X. Expect it to be closer to $1200 than $600.
