most games look great on high settings, why spend $100 for 15 fps and slightly better graphics?
>Worrying about spending 100$ more on pc parts every couple of years.
Get a real job and move out.

Who the actual fuck are you quoting?
Because a card running high settings now, will be running things on medium settings 2 years from now.
The 1070 will still be running on things on high 2 years from now.
Might as well use this thread.
Which manufacturer for the coolest/quietest 1070?
>>60176392
MSI.

Can't hear you over the sound of my stacks of cash I saved
>>60175604
But for real though why buy a better processor?
A 1070 allows me a practical benefit of having higher fps or higher settings, while my CPU is almost never the limiting factor, even on a 144hz screen it's always been the GPU that is ultimately the limiting factor (or hyperthreading adds very little performance in a specific game)
My CPU was enough, my GPU wasn't
Why upgrade CPU?

u got the money, asus strix. if not asus dual or msi. ignore the evga meme.

Looking at your PC parts doesn't make them run faster.

I don't understand this meme. I have a real job and I've moved out and I have less money to expend on technology than I had when I was living with my parents and working a part time job.
I'll just use this thread since my graphics card just died. Should I go with the Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti or the EVGA GTX 960? Upgrading from my EVGA GTX 560 Ti.
>>60186238
how much money do you want to spend? what are you using it for and at what resolution? do you have a power supply that can accommodate 6/8 pin power on a gpu?
Damn. Why is Maki so perfect?! Also how is everyone defragging their compiled syntax shells? I can't seem to be able to shift the vector files properly.
>>60186268
No more than $150
Some basic gaming at a 1080 resolution (Would like 60 fps high settings, but can do 45 fps medium settings)
Yes
Think like Left 4 dead 2 and Dead Space being some of the average games I play.
>>60175604
I don't like games anymore though
>>60186304
I'd suggest either a 960 or RX 470 for that price range. Just see what you can find. A 750Ti is basically a sidegrade.
>>60175604
But I bought a 1080 for $385 after taxes last November and have an i7 already.
>>60175604
Yeah but the 1060 doesn't handle VR well.
Also, muh futureproofing
>>60175604

Because I could OP

I genuinely don't understand the question.

Why does it exist?
>>60189551
Because it wont be redundant for 1080p within a year

>>60189577

I know exactly how retarded it is since Volta probably isn't even coming this year and at best we'll get a half-step refresh in September or some shit but I just can't do it lad
>>60189564
>it wont be redundant for 1080p within a year

My bet is that 580/1060 will be rocking 1080p for years.
>>60189601
Vega will make them drop prices, if not completely outclass them.
>>60175604
But... I actually did that. I got RX480 and i7-6700k, but everyone was laughing at me and telling me I should be reasonable and buy 1080 with i3, because "i3 is enough for current games", no matter that I dont use PC solely for games and that my previous cpu, i5-750, lasted for 6 years and I dont want to replace cpu and mobo with it every year or two.
Hug me, /g/ ;_;

Are you even trying?
144hz 1440p monitor master race.
>>60175604
I did get a 1060 and I see no need to upgrade my i5-2500k.
>tfw saved 100$
>>60175604
How the fuck does this happen? The 1070 is only 25% more expensive than the rx 480 in my country, that makes no sense.
