Should I get the 1070?

No, all modern games are garbage not worth playing so there's no reason to buy a 1070

t. bought a 1070 and only play 15 year old games

>>378267907
This except I bought a 1080. Currently playing the PC port of MGS2 and usage hovers at around 9% at a low clock whilst using 4K DSR.

>>378267780
No spend 100pesos more and buy the 1080. (or wait for the 2000 series)

>>378267907
>>378268007
It's the same for everyone from what i've seen.
>>378267780
Most games released on pc in the past few years aren't worth playing and even if you really really want to you can just turn down the settings and still have it look better than a console with a 1060. Plus with that you could run most all older games perfectly anyway.
Only get a 1070 if you insist on playing new titles at high settings or have 1440p monitor, etc.

It's already a year old. Get the next gen when it launches

>>378267780
Lol no. The 1060 6Gb is perfectly capable of playing most modern games at 60+fps. Unless you like current game titles and want 60+ fps on 1440p you don't need to get it. 1060 6gb is just as good and cheaper

>>378267780
1070 is a great card, but AMD are set to release their new Vega lineup in June/July, and those will probably beat the 1070 in performance yet at a similar cost.
Either way you can't go wrong.

is black friday still the best time to buy computer parts or is cyber monday real? I feel like cyber monday is a meme and its better to blow your load on friday

>>378267780

>>378270761
Single day marketing is just there for advertisement. They can't make a profit selling shit for super low prices, so what do you do? You sell a few items for really cheap rates and then the people who couldn't get it will spend the whole winter months waiting for a deal with it, then you give a bullshit 10% off and they will feel obligated to get it for that price because it won't go down after the break(when in fact it would be the same price just made to look marked down)

>>378267907
Are you retarded? I have a 1060 and can run any modern game.

the 1060 is a solid upgrade from the 980, right? I'm pushing 2 1080p screens, one of which is 144hz, and the 980 doesn't quite cut it for that anymore.

I have it and I'm loving it so far for anything 1080p 60fps at max graphics. If you're a 4kfag I'd consider saving up for a 1080 at least.

Why the fuck didn't you just get a 1080ti?

>>378271450
If you don't care for 4k gaming then 1060 cause it'll do 1080p at 60+ fps on most modern games. 1070 would be pointless at that point.

If you can get a cheap 1060 go for it if you want to upgrade later. If you want something that can last a while get the 1070.

if you play 1440p sure, thats its sweet spot for best quality. its hit or miss with certain games at 2k but i've had a good experience so far.

Near equivalent maybe

>>378281637
It's the same or better than the equally-priced intel offering at every level except the 7700k

>quick rundown
1060/580 for 1080p/60 now. Whether you wanna go AMD or nVidia depends a lot on the games you play and how long you intend on keeping the card.There's some games where you are seriously better off getting nVidia like ARMA but at the same time the current nVidia architectures can't compete with AMD in Vulkan or DX12. AMD drivers and support is pretty inconsistent as well
1070 for 1080p/60 in the long term or 1440p/60
1080 for 1440p/60 longterm or maybe 4k if you don't mind turning down settings or getting lower frames
1080ti is the same as 1080 but for rich people or the financially irresponsible

>>378282403
Vega's clocked ~50% higher than the Fury X, that already puts it on the same level as the 1080, and that's without factoring in any architectural improvements on top of that.

>>378282719
1070 for 1080 144hz

>>378267780

Unless you just love pc exclusives that just need a beef card to run, don't get it.
Get a console or handheld. Games are more stable and get dev support after launch.

Yeah, to be honest there's no reason to buy anything else unless you're destitute tier broke (g4560) or you have more money than brain (7700k)

Buy a 1600, get 7700k performance (-7%) use the $200 you save not buying a 7700k to buy a 1070 instead of a 1060.

There, you just got better gaming performance than the 7700k system, AND better multithreading performance for all the crap that isn't gaming.

Like how the fuck are people still buying intel right now, lol?

>>378285853
Get two, what, are you poor?

Most games are using 6 cores properly, a bunch are using 7-8 cores because of console optimizations.

I think by the time Zen+ rolls in there's going to be a lot more people going 8-core.

>>378285948

why waste money for just bad performance?

SLI is a meme, it's twice as expensive to start getting microstuttering, and a good amount of games don't even bother trying to code for it, so you end up just using 1 card anyway and the other one just sits there looking pretty.

Thoughts on curved monitors?

>>378287907
meme just like 4k

>>378287907
just a pointless gimmick that's used as an excuse to increase prices

>>378285306
>2k 144hz
any recommend brand?

>>378281509
Just kill yourself.

>>378288018
4k isn't a meme, it is a more efficient way of anti-aliasing.

>>378288445
Calm down, Krzanich, it's just the truth, plain and simple.

>>378288154
This

So is 1060 the go-to card?

>>378290220
As of now yeh since Miners bought every fucking AMD gpu available

>>378290441
What's the cheapest you can find it? I've seen $250 and 240 but wasn't sure if is lower than that

>>378290441
what is it about amd cards and bitcoin mining? The same shit happened last year when the 4xx series came out

Also, fuck amd for not keeping up with demand

>>378290581
It's for ETH and 580's have the best hashrate for it's price

>>378285885
>Buy a 1600, get 7700k performance (-7%) use the $200 you save not buying a 7700k to buy a 1070 instead of a 1060
>There, you just got better gaming performance than the 7700k system

>>>implying the standard GPU for a 7700K build isn't a 1080
What's wrong with you?

HEY FUCKERS

I built my PC three years ago, I have a 770 card in it. I was a student and built it on a budget. Now, I am finishing school and on track to get a better card. I don't need anything crazy, I just want an upgrade. Not a 4k fag, I just want solid frame rate and to play Nier: A. What GPU do I get

Lol, just get Radeon 5870 HD, then, I guess.
Pleb.

>>378277364
friend, I think the only retard here is you

>>378291323
Just ordered the cheapest 3200mhz cards I could find (2x 8GB).
They're just CL16, but I guess it'll be good enough for now.

>>378267780
wha a fucking retarded question. It depends on your setup and purpose

>>378272747
>good cpu
>shit low end gpu
why

You have a better CPU than me but I have a GTX 970.

>>378285885
>Buy a 1600, get 7700k performance (-7%)
Are you even trying?
You need a 1700 to get close to 7700K performance, and the 1700 is almost the exact same price.
AMD is ded unless you want to render all day

>>378267780
Maybe, but wait on Vega launch. Announcement is in less than a week, rumored launch on the 5th of June. Wait for the market shift that causes, then make your move.

>>378292714
AMD's not even close to dead. Their server CPUs are going to embarrass Intel even worse than their consumer lineup.
