If you wait long enough you'll be too old to care about gaming anyway. The miners are actually forcing you into normielife.

Hello shill

piss off. Do you faggots think that miners prefer amd hardware just cause they're fucking hipsters?

AYYMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

My friend has a 780 ti and he thinks it's still as good as a 1060, even though he doesn't game anymore. How should i break the bad news to him? Should i tell him?

>>62056024
>he doesn't game anymore.
Then it is just as good

>>62056024
>he doesn't game
>kepler
Makes sense

>>62056024
It is though, unless he has >1200p monitor.

The last nvidia card i used was on a core 2 duo i built from scratch back in like 2008, the thing caused a lot of BSOD's though and died completely in the end

Still sitting on my hd 7850 2gb for the foreseeable future now (it still does get the job done in bf1 et al)

I'd like to upgrade to a rog strix rx at some point but (((miners))) have driven prices up prohibitively so all one can do is wait for the market to normalize again i suppose

the 390 is about 50% faster than the 970 in newer games

I bought a 1080 to replace my good old 390, It's still a great card, only a bit too hot

>driver updates
bro, theyve neen doing this shit since 02 when they got caught cheating in 3dMark03
with AA and AF

so honestly, when you build something, you must know what you are building for.Budget, brand loyalty and colors,sounds etc, sometimes does become priority.

if you're still using 1080p you don't need to upgrade, wait for nvidia or amd next gen next year if you upgrade to 1440p otherwise stfu, my 390X and 6600K run everything great.

You can hear him trying to stifle his laughter as he points out the 780 ti is often seen hanging around a 1050 ti in terms of performance.

>>62055542
I gave up OP. I'm currently planning a 1080 build. I got so tired of trying to make a budget ryzen 5 rx 580 build that I just flipped teams. Will it bite in me in the ass down the road? Probably but I'm tired of waiting.

>We tested and compared both PCBs while running the cards with a defined limit so that they received about 260W of power in the same gaming loop. For the thermal paste, we used Diamond from Innovation Cooling, which is somewhat more viscous compared to Thermal Grizzly’s rather thin Kryonaut paste.

>>62057130
No. Kepler has really aged that badly. GTX 680 is around 10 FPS higher than a 750 ti. I should know, I own both. It's really, astonishingly terrible.

>>62057150
just curiosity, how does a 290/x compares itself against a 1050ti nowadays?

Is AMD is making a killer sale on their graphics cards then why haven't their share price gone up?

>>62055598
What 390 are you using?

my sapphire can't into Relive drivers unless I settle for no user set fan control and let the stock fan profile to idle at 45-50c with load temps at 85c. Relive also won't let me use 3rd party oc tools like afterburner.

I've only just got relive drivers working by doing a bare bones install. I gained fan control through msi af but still no overclock control.

>>62056024
In theory it's about on 970 level, where the 1060 is closer to the 980. In practice, it's Kepler so it's horrible.

>>62057449
I've got an MSI 390 and it's never given me any problems.

>>62055542
>tfw want to upgrade from 390

name one (1) modern game worth playing that takes advantage of the top tier GPUs.

>>62057588
thehunter:cotw, literally one of the most demanding games gpu wise nowadays

>>62057212
It performs slightly worse than a 1060 , 10% worse on average

>>62057548
seems like msi's were the ones to get. Apparently sapphire neglected to include some features on their pcb that relive drivers require. A lot of people have complained to amd but amd says it's not their fault. Which is true but they could at least make an update that allows sapphire owners (there are other brand affected as well) to use other means of overclocking and fan control if Wattman doesn't play nice. Their attitude seem to be "wattman or gtfo".

>>62057449
My 290 vapor x has no problems either

>>62058592

here is the worst performing vega game

There's no reason not to switch to nvidia. I defend AMD when they make decent products at decent prices, which makes them worth buying even if they don't get close to nvidia's high end.
But miners ruined the 'decent prices' bit. And AMD ruined the 'decent products' bit. The Vega 56 is actually okay for the price they said it was going to be, but miners stopped it from ever being at that price. Not to mention scalpers- people buying vegas to then resell to miners on ebay or something.

I REALLY hope nvidia's next generation cards have really bad hash rates. AMD fucked up by not gimping the hash rates of their cards, fucking bigtime.

>>62062191
Well Vega is massively front end bottlenecked at the moment because primitive shaders aren't enabled yet, hence the 56 is just as fast as the 64 at the same clocks for now. They're working on it.

sorry anon , i need those 8 more frames otherwise the game will be literally and utterly unplayable trash.

Man, I just can't wait for a reasonable price on a video card that's got modest performance gains over my 750 Ti. Only got it as a display adapter rather than real gpu purposes.
Genuinely considering the 1050 Ti if there's no further RX Vega cards aimed at a more budget-oriented market. Either that or potentially screw myself over by buying a used 1060/480/580.

I was actually considering changing out my GTX 960 with an AyyyMD card because they're FINALLY on par with nVidia on Linux.

We'll see what everything looks like in a couple of months

Why wouldn't you use an nvidia card when it's the best option currently available? Do you seriously have brand loyalty?

>>62055542
While you are full of shit considering 390(better GPU than 780ti,its around 980, only downfall is hot'n'loud meme, but it is just an meme),
truth is that only normal price/performance ratio GPUs(closest to MSRP) on market are gtx1050ti and gtx1080,and they were nothing to write home about in the first place when taking fps per $ in the first place.
mining has shifted whole $/fps paradigm into absolute illogical place.
AFAIK 390 are praised (not as rx470/570) among miners so if you are smart enough with sale, I could see you getting one 1080 for not much more added money.
In a way, lucky gamers who had rx 470-580 before the craze upgraded massively to 1070 for almost free, but even 1070 is now in miners clutches(and , as far as I can see, they will get more and more popular when miner noobs get hit with first real electricity bill(yearly bill optimisations by electric companies) and figure out that manhours+power+problems+ insecurity of whole cryptocoin has put them in a hell of a minus,and that they basically burned their for free GPUs so they could pay bills and some whale across the world earns real money.

>>62055542
>390 getting gimped
>lets switch to gimpvidia
do you have any idea how much the 780 has Dropped in performance? the 390 has gained while most nvidia cards get gimped after 2~3 years

>>62056403
Pffttt hahaha ha

>>62063131
thats not true tho, they're just shit on arrival with better drivers while amd cards are always miles ahead in raw tflop, just dont give a fuck about drivers

>>62063024
>1070 for almost free
I had crossfire Asus ROG Strix 8GB RX480, and sold them together for $800. I decided to buy the EVGA FTW3 1080 Ti (on sale admittedly) for about $700
So essentially, I got paid $100 to get a 1080 Ti

>>62055542
I was waiting for a vega, but since the only vegas in stock are $650+ I just went with a $709 1080 ti instead. It sucks because now I have to sell my freesync monitor on Craigslist and buy a Gsync instead, but at least I can game.

I didn't say 780 though. I wouldn't be too opposed to getting a 780 though, quite frankly. It's still an upgrade nonetheless.

Now you can't get any mid tier cards for less than 300. I seriously dodged a HUGE bullet this upgrade cycle. Likely won't be upgrading until Volta/navi.

>>62065501
I'm saying it would be like upgrading to the 780ti. Aka worthless

I bought an XFX R9 Fury for €220 when Polaris was released.
It runs stable at 1050 MHz with a -72mV underclock.
Combined with a 1440p 144Hz Freesync monitor it's amazing.

I might upgrade to a custom RX 64 though.

I wouldn't upgrade to vega unless you're dying for those extra frames. Fury 1440p freesync is plenty suitable. I'd Wait until vega drivers to see if they really help or until Volta. Or a vega refresh/navi. Either way, the fury is still a high end card an should last you a year or so more.

>>62055542
My fucking 390 started crashing after just 1 and a half year of use. The only way I managed to fix this was to speed up the fans and keep the case open. The damn thing crashes the second it gets too warm. Sometimes it crashes at around 50°C. I doubt my next card will be AMD

>>62063655
Truth and dubs confirm.

390 was an objectively bad card when it released anyway, it was OCed to the hilt out of the box, drew shitloads of power and struggled to outperform a *stock* 3.5 cuck card. even a mildly factory oc'd cuck card beats it.

I don't know where are you having some issues but it's a perfect 1080p card right now.

Running most of my games at 1440p.

My only issue with the card is that AMD fucked Sapphire Trixx or any other OC tool because of WattMan.

Still waiting for a real 4K gpu.
