Why the fuck are people buying pascal cards like 1080, 1070s

There is always a better card right around the corner.
Keep waiting, poorfag.

Nvidia is going to milk Pascal dry seeing as Vega was such a enormous letdown. Don't expect Volta any sooner than late Q1 2018.

>>62250915
its early 2018 and volta is 234% more fps than pascal

>Right around the corner

In the second quarter of 2018?

>>62250976
first quarter

>>62250898
Due to a shit-show from AMD they don't need to release anything new, they can hold them off for a year til they feels some actual competition.

>>62251001
Second Quarter.

You won't see memory chips built for the GPUs until the end of this year. They will milk Pascal all the way to the bank.

Every time I see the stupid name I think of John Travolta

Wait for Nvidia Volta GV104 GTX 2080

>The new Volta SM is 50% more energy efficient than the previous generation Pascal design, enabling major boosts in FP32 and FP64 performance in the same power envelope.

THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA

vega is a game changer
cheap vega cards like 1150ti will be able to run 4k 60fps stable on ultra

>>62251001
If you plan on putting a $10k machine learning card with no video output in your computer sure

>>62251182
I'll believe it when I see it.

I'll put in the money for a founders edition if it is.

I'll wait for the wearable Chroma edition thanks.

Enjoy your shitty co-processor that sucks at everything but one specific niche use case, though.

Most people still use 1080p which a gtx 1060 handles with ease. Even people running 1440p only need a 1070.

>>62251420
>USING 1080p in 2017

is it still 2005 ??

lol 4k is the new standard

>>62251431
Less than 1% of gamers use 4k. Even so, a 1080ti easily handles it.

Really anything aside from the 1080ti is a total piece of shit right now and even that is slower than it should be with pascal anti-overclocking fuckery.
Shit like the 1080 is midrange as fuck but there is no competition. As soon as nvidia was able to btfo amd with tiny ass pieces of silicon and cheap memory everything went to shit. Hold on to whatever you have until the gpu market returns to normalcy.

>Around the corner

Uhhh try 6 months, you fucking waitfag.

>>62251420
I could see a 1440p user justifying a 1080 but I get your point. It almost feels like cards are getting ahead of the games for once.
Give it 18 months, and lazy game devs will see all the extra horsepower and use it as an excuse to optimize like ass, or raise the polygon count to infinity.

>>62251515
fucking waitfags how do we stop them

>GTX 2050 Ti will be as fast as GTX 1060/GTX 980
>Playing 1080P Very High/Ultra games at 75W or less without external power connector at all

MUH

>6 months

optimistic

>>62251567
Who cares? I want rock solid 4ķ@60fps with no dips on an OLED, or VA screen.

>>62250898
Because Vega was a complete let-down and we've already been Waiting™ long enough.

>>62250898
isnt it hot where they do these press releases at?
isnt it hot on stage from the lights?
isnt it hot inside the leather jacket?

>>62252438
Not when you're as cool as Jensen!
