>sister says "NO"

Who gives a fuck what she says? Roasties can't even decide what to have for dinner. You've only got two viable choices.

Well I mean, unless you want Intel HD graphics. Is your sister ok with that fuckboy?

Have a GTX 1070 and it's fucking amazing

>>37327971
Just get what you think it's better you fuckin idiot, why would you listen to your sister?

I personally going to buy a MSI GTX 1060 with an intel I5 6600
Is that good enough to run the latest games at an ultra setting?

>>37327971
>no to nvidia
>no to amd
good luck lmao

Are there even any consumer cards that aren't either amd or nvidia?

>buy graphics card
>modern games are shit

>>37327971
I fell for the 1080 meme but I haven't bought a new card since the 560. I don't even know what to do with this much power. My desires and tastes are still stuck in the 560 era and games now are cinematic shite.

AMD is cheaply made under powered garbage that overheats and Nividia is overpriced "enthusiast cards advertised with 4 gigs but you get 2 instead
Honestly wait until Intel comes out with their own line of dedicated graphics cards and you'll be set with i7s and Intel GPU's

fuck ur sis, get a 1070 or 1080, I have the 1070 and it's a pretty cool guy.

too bad there are no good games :(

I rotate between eve onlline. gta 5 and CS GO, tried to play elite dangerous and it was boring as shit.

Why are vidya games so boring now? am I growing up?

>tfw bought a 980 Ti 2 yrs ago and play nothing but WoW

>>37327971

the 1080 is basically going to be as cheap as a 1070 is now when vega comes out

>>37328166
Stellaris and Crusader Kings 2 are both v good.

>>37327971
The answer is clear, buy two 1080 TIs. Can't complain then.

>>37328166

>pay over $40 for game
>still have to pay for extra content

Whatever happened to unlocking gamemodes and costumes for free by completing in-game challenges and beating the hardest difficulty?

>>37328197

>Why are vidya games so boring now?

for me it's because they're too repetitive and I get no meaningful sense of achievement from them like I did when I was 15. irl achievements matter way more to me now

>>37328197

Videogames are becoming more expensive to make so they're getting harder to polish.

>>37328166
I'm going to get a new build just because I want to stay fresh, I have zero interest in games so I probably gonna play for 15 minutes then uninstall

I just want to be able to run Half Life 3 whenever that comes out

>>37328134
As someone with a MSI 1060 I can play Far Cry Primal on ultra settings with 70+ frames.

I got frustrated with the same bullshit, people telling you to wait and delay for whatever fanboi release of whatever the fuck. Seriously, so people people willing to offer 'tech' advice are idiots all too willing to express an opinion because they feel that they had a role in forming it. It's like any idiot who gets drawn into the Apple vs PC 'debate'.

I just went with the GTX1070 and an i7, and I'm fine for the next 3-4 years at least.

There is ALWAYS going to be drops in prices and better power, but getting 'upper mid or lower high tier' always works best for me.

Is building an overkill rig mostly for ArmA III worth it or is the game ded?
I'd probably also play other sims like Assetto Corsa and DCS world, maybe something like R6 Siege too.

I just bought a GTX 1080. If I don't get a new monitor soon I might actually be retarded.

What's a good monitor to get if 4K monitors are a meme?

CRT monitors are actually making a comeback right now.
Since they operate with an analogue signal the resolution is potentially far higher than 4k and the heat conduction in the cathode material rn is far better so they consume less power tham they used to.
You should look into that probably.

I'm quite enjoying my Dell Ultrasharp 1440p, it was moderately priced - has great colour accuracy. Only 60Hz though if you're really into FPS games or whatever.

Go with whatever is the best option and whatever you can afford.

Personally am gonna upgrade to a 1070 somepoint this year since my 9970 is starting to struggle a little. I'm tempted to get a 1080 but I just can't justify it for the games and the amount of gaming that I do so I think a 1070 will more than meet my expectations

>>37327971
>getting a graphics card
How about getting a life instead?

>>37328192
Nice bait. Trying to trigger both amdumbs and nvidiots with falsehoods in the same post.

>>37327971
Get a decent 1600X/RX580 or 7600K/GT1060 rig and you're good for the next 3-4 years if you are happy with 1080p@50-60fps on high with most titles and medium for resource hog games or late in that period.

Get a 1800X/Vega or 7700K/1080Ti rig and you'll have spent twice the money for 4K gaming, not counting the monitor.

If you go with option 1 and invest that money or just leave it in your drawer - you'll be able to buy a decent 4K rig in 3-4 years for it.

So you get 6-8 years of decent performance or 3-4 years of excellent and 3-4 years of okay performance.

Tell her the GTX 1070 is an Apple video card.
