straight 1080 is garbage and so is your post

>>59043165
don't you know? the 1080ti will be beaten shortly after launch by the 2080/1180. it's like you don't know NVidia's release schedule.

The 1080 can't even run 1080p ultra settings @144hz, how the fuck is that even possible?

it's less than 20% faster than an meh oced 980ti

got myself a 980ti for 280€, since every shop were trying to get rid of them

a GTX1080 with decent cooling still costs ~650€(was >700€ at that time)

gtx 1080 is overpriced shit, fucking ridiculous

Meanwhile AMD sells you hot garbage that is 5% slower than years old 390x and costs $50 less and you shills call it best card of 2016.

What a fucking joke this board is.

Actually /v/ got very hardcore about punishing console wars/gpu shitposters. Starting a thread ends up with 2 weeks ban 99% of the time, it's the main reason why they're all here nowadays, because we really don't have mods.

If I'd buy a 1080 for 1080p gaming, how long would it take for me to be forced into upgrading?
I bought a used 7950 in '14, and it's only now that I start to feel like it's not enough anymore.

>>59047050
A few years. Its overkill for 1080p so if you want a gpu that will or in theory should last then thats the one.
Unless you wait around six or so months and they may drop in price

>>59043165
I was a waitfag for Intel once.

Waiting for that Sandy Bridge processor for AVX. Nope, decided I'd wait some more. Waited for that Haswell. Not really worth it, plus my Core 2 Quad still works. Decided I'd wait until Skylake. Nope, still not worth it. Gotta be Kaby Lake then. Nope. Still not worth it.

What's the point of new processors? It's just the same old fucking shit making us all a bunch of faggots waiting for the next revolutionary piece of hardware. Instead we get these incremental improvements which add up to jack shit.

Fucking computers, what's the fucking point it's just a big waste of my life. I'm 35 and still a virgin and my health is going to shit and I waited the last 5 years for fucking nothing. Maybe I should just order some lead aspirin and get it over with. Fucking computers are a grave man. A fucking grave. Don't end up like me.

>>59047080
I'm well avare it's overkill for 1080p, that's why I'm expecting it to last longer that, say, a 1070, or 1060 on the same resolution @ 60hz.

>>59047090
yes but then I said thats the one. Obviously as well itll stand better over time than the 60/70 cards.

im waiting a few years and buy an used 1080 for 1080p it should be fine anyway with older games

>>59047090

1070 would probably be the better choice still.
A 1080p will be limited by its VRAM long before the speed of the GPU itself becomes a bottleneck.

>>59043165
Unless 1080ti is 4k@60fps ready I'll stick with my 980ti.

>>59047123
>1080p
Meant GTX 1080 at 1080p

>>59047123
You think 8GB of VRAM would be obsolete by '20?

I'm just waiting for a card that can reliably handle modern games at 100fps. Honestly the 970 I have handles everything I've thrown at it with the exception of DE:MD and The Division with Gameworks shit turned on at 1080. Granted not always 60fps which is not always relevant depending on camera and game pacing anyways. Pretty fucking happy as it stands but I can't justify buying a new card that can't keep up with the resolution refreshes of late.

>>59047129
>thinking this is acceptable
NO.

>>59047138
There's some games right now that need more than 6 GB VRAM for max settings. So, yeah.

Not waiting for the 1280 or 1280 Ti. You're literally a vegetable.

Thanks for the lesson. Was going to wait for Kabylake-X for that 7740k, but I guess a 7700k is enough.

I play games, but honestly I don't belong on /v/. I for one tend to talk where the conversation goes, which leads to me "being off-topic".

I like retro gaming and am passionate about it, but also heavily enjoy the concept of building powerful computers for it. /v/ doesn't talk about hardware much at all, nor do they talk about the games I play. I can't even get what I want on /vr/ because they will start talking about newer mods and I am a traditionalist. Thus, I am not really welcome anywhere.

But I love hardware. I love specs and obsess over the smallest temperature drops I can make to my CPU. I even fancy trying to jump over to Gentoo if my collection still works over there. Based on certain guides online, it might be possible, though I am intimidated by being a GNU/Linux noob. Plus I still have nothing to replace Adobe Premiere, where I render a lot of 4k videos, either as a hobby or some for my job.

I guess what I am trying to say is technology can be used for different purposes. Many /g/ lurkers are programmers that can be happy with a simple setup. Me? I am the type that gets hyped about every upgrade.

I hate consoles, so I can't be /v/. I can't be PCMR either, for they all love Windows 10, which I consider to just be a console OS. Being on Windows all my life, it is hard to switch and confuses me greatly, but I love the concept of GNU/Linux if not the potential limitations I could have. So don't direct me to /v/, for I am welcome there a lot less than I am here.

Thank goodness for EVGA step up

Technically speaking I am managing fine on win10 for the time being with only forced updates pissing me off every once in a blue moon when I need to leave my computer running for a long period of time. And main taskbar being a pain in the ass to move if there is no empty space to click and drag. And not being able to uninstall a few applications like cortana or the Xbox app

Can't be fucked chasing after Microsoft to reinstall the same key on a new motherboard, and I sure as hell am not paying for a windows license. Last license was an academic win7 one that I got for free through uni

But more importantly, No menu option to disable telemetry altogether with lowest option as "Basic" is disconcerting, also:

Don't like the idea of having a snitch snooping on me without my knowledge at anytime

Between VM+passthrough and WINE should be able to manage for most applications, found good enough alternatives for the majority of the tools I use for hobby work even if they aren't the same caliber, Like KiCAD instead of Altium.
Yet to find a decent CAD for mechanical design though. Only really worried about driver support for the latest GPUs
