>>59183726

Shut the fuck up about this already...
The card was the best there is at its lunch, I may have payed 600 for a GPU that is now obsolute and could have waited and got a 1080 ti but I am not an AMD waitfag.

You buy something when you want and need it. Atleast I don't say ''Wait for Ryzen'' ''Wait for Vega'' ''Wait for Polaris'' Wait for pajeet cock, it will be the best cock there is''

Only a retard wouldn't think njewdia didn't have a 1080ti in the works. They release a new card every other month

>>59183878
>throwing more money at the company that fucked you in the ass

A top, top goy. :^)

>>59184048
throwing money at AMD cards that have proven to be shit in games for the past 10 years.

1080 is a retarded card
>too weak for 4k
>too strong for 1440p

there are three cards worth buying:
1080p - RX 470
1440p - 1070
4k - 1080ti

that's it. if you buy anything in between you're either throwing your money in the garbage for wasted performance or buying something too weak to give you a proper trouble free experience

>>59184315
More like future proof for 1440p, or better for 1440p 144hz. Games typically get more demanding over time.

>>59184355
that has stagnated significantly in the last 5 years. Even before the new console generation

the cards billed for high settings/1080p 4 years ago still hold true to that, like the 7970 and 780ti

>>59184476

What would an AMD shill know about high end products?

>>59184454
Still, the GTX 1080 is useful for 1440p 144hz. I have a 1070 and a 1440p 144hz monitor, and I can only really reach 144fps in older games.

If it's brand new and from a authorized retailer, you should be able to step up to a 1080, not sure about 1080ti.

Was the card sold by Amazon.com? Amazon warehouse used *might* work for the step-up, not 100%.

got my 1080 for the price of a 1060 so no fucks given. will sell it for profit, then buy the ti

>>59185888
You mean superior performance 1-2 years before AMD can match it? Trips of truth!

>>59184245
Except the 480/470 is the better than any other nvidia offering within the same price bracket.

>>59185427
They're around £500 on eBay m8

>>59186009
Getting 480 over 1070 is now even more retarded since the price has been cut.

>>59186065
I'm a britfag, the 1070 is still around the £400 mark. You can pick up decent 480 for around half that price and a 470 for even less.

>>59186065
BUT ASYNC GIVES YOU 10X THE PERFORMANCE AND NVIDIA GIMPS OYY VEYYY GET DUAL 480 OR WAIT FOR VEGA GOYIM

Nothing wrong with the 1080, it's the Titan XP owners the ones who got massively cucked.

>>59186373
The fuck senpai?
1080 Couldn't drive 1080p at max settings @ 144hz, let alone at 1440p

>>59186479
How so? Titan XP owners have had a full six months to enjoy the best of the best. 1080Ti isn't sufficiently faster for any Titan XP owners to upgrade. 6 months of the best and another 6-12 months of close enough to the best works for me.

Stay poor; you're the true cuck.

I think like 40% of their market growth back in the day was because so many games on Steam had an nvidia ad upon startup

>>59186405
>saved money

Nvidia dropped prices on the 1080.
Vega costs more money to manufacture, the flagship is very unlikely to launch for less than $500.
Volta is coming within a year and even the 1160 will probably rape Vega in most scenarios depending on the VRAM.
Face it, AMD is naked white chick lost in the ghetto tier fucked when it comes to the GPU market.

>>59186566
To many on this board, $500 extra is a great deal of money. To others, it's justifiable for a 20-30% performance increase six months early. I'm fortunate that I can easily afford a Titan XP at release. I wouldn't call anyone a cuck for buying the best card they can afford if it's only a 480 or 1070 just as poorfags shouldn't chastise non-poorfags for spending money on the best at the time.

Now, if someone bought a Titan XP a month ago, that sucks...

depends on manufacturer from what I've read review wise (aka extremely chinese vs marginally less chinese)

but I have been maxing current gen releases that I've played. granted I don't try every game that comes out just to stress test but the RX480 performs really well especially for its pricetag assuming your processor isn't archaic/suffocating

>>59186360
Anything to get out of paying the G-Sync tax.

Proprietary technologies are cancer.

>>59187092
You realize G-Sync and FreeSync are insignificant if you're running a 144Hz+ monitor?

Average latency savings for adaptive refresh on a 144Hz monitor is 3.5ms; max is 7ms.

As if it even matters, the 1080 and even 1070 is still leaps and bounds ahead and will be fine to use on anything for the next 2-3 years.

>>59186065
>1070 price cute
you guys keep throwing around this rumor yet it's been confirmed no where. the only thing that's been confirmed are 1080 price cuts.

>>59183726


I'm a little salty I must admit, but with pc hardware you gotta sometimes just buy the thing and hope for the best.

By the time 1080ti is out chances are there will be something else on the horizon to wait for.

it's not worth $1200 anymore. it doesnt outperform a $700 GPU now.

it still is worth a significant fraction of it's MSRP though
