Use FAR and turn the global illumination settings down with it gives a massive performance increase with next to no drop in image quality. Without FAR it will probably run like shit.

New job that changed my life style radically, and now I need to get a laptop to get my gaming in (depressing I know, also I don't like consoles so theres that). Only ways for me to access the net currently is my phone and a surface that can't even keep up with my type speed.

I kind of want something good enough to play overwatch, but realistically I won't be gaming a whole lot with it. Just browsing here and there, d&d streaming on the weekends, overwatch and similar gaming outside of that.

Need to see if I can get a good deal on a used one.

No reason to upgrade from a r9 280 (equivalent to an overclocked 7950). I'm a FPS guy and the only new FPS even worth trying in recent years is Quake Champions. Looks like that will run well on any card once it's optimized (already runs competitive-ready 90% of the time for me).

I was skeptical about my 2500k and 1060 Mini so I put Doom on high and 1366x768, it was maxing out at 200 fps.

Still using my 750 ti. Having a small 19 inch 720p screen also helps. Does the job until I'm in a position to build something high end.

It's called WQHD and a GTX 1060 should have no trouble with it
It's not worth upgrading to from FHD though. 4K is the future and if you can't afford a 4K monitor you shouldn't be buying a monitor at all.

>tfw 970
>Wanted to upgrade to 1440p 100+ Hz this year

It's still doing great with FHD at 60 FPS.

I beat DOOM with everything on High, but as I discovered later, it could run Ultra just fine at 60+ FPS. Pretty pissed with myself for not fiddling with settings properly.

Now playing Tomb Raider and it can't handle Very High textures because of >3.5 Gb, but everything else is maxed.

Seriously. I'm this guy
>>383411006
and I'm all about framerate. I consider anything under 90 fps to be "unplayable". If I'm not running into any trouble then the only way anyone else can is people are activating stupid blur features, placebo shadow settings or they're dumb enough to buy high-res monitors instead of high refresh rate.

>>383412181
>max settings meme

Just what I'm talking about. Dude, max settings are unoptimized garbage and have been since the mid 2000s at least. Look at some comparisons between medium settings and maxed out games. There is usually NO difference at first glance. While you are playing you wouldn't notice, but you will notice that you cut your framerate in half. You need to learn how to tweak a game's settings for gameplay purposes.

>>383412416
Okay, my mistake. So you spend your own money on expensive hardware to take screenshots and benchmarks of games instead of playing them. Got it.

Actually the SENSIBLE way to buy hardware nowadays is to go tick tock in roughly 3-4 year steps. On each tick you buy a new everything. On each tock you only replace the GPU since CPUs are stagnating since 2010.

My country doesn't have 1060s in stock ANYWHERE and shipping from Newegg or something similar would cost quite a bit. I am stuck with a GTX 660 for now, feels pretty bad.

Is the GTX 1050 considered mid-tier?

A friend of mine says he has 8GB of RAM and an i5 (didn't specify which), but is just using integrated graphics. He says he's cool with just running 7th gen games at 1080p60. I told him that getting a 1050 for $110 should serve his needs, but is that actually good advice?

Managed to get my hands on a workstation they were scrapping at my job, threw in as much ram as I could scavenge from other dead PCs and then threw in a 1050ti. Couldn't put anything more powerful in as the HP tower had a proprietary PSU and motherboard but the package certainly gets the job done. All in all I spent maybe 400 maplebucks in total and I'm struggling to find a game I cant play on at least high settings at 1080p

>>383413152
Well back then good cards were overpriced as fuck, the gap between low end and mid end was high.

The GTX 750Ti came for $90-110 also worked only with the motherboard PCIe slot, was a solid card.

>>383413729
GPU generations last 18 months on average.
You have to skip at least one if you aren't into wasting money.
Either buy midrange and buy ever 2 generations or buy upper midrange and buy every 3 generations.

Never buy high end because those cards depreciate like crazy and don't actually last noticeably longer.

>>383413649

No, that's barely a step up from integrated graphics. I mean it's like twice as powerful or more, but something like a 470/1060 is like close to 10x the performance

I have 750Ti and first gen i5. I could finally upgrade but I feel like there is nothing that would justify it.

I mean I can emulate pretty much everything up to 6th gen. And I have PS3 and 3DS.

Doing pretty well here. Though I need to fix the air flow in my PC. The summer heat has proven tough on my HDDs going as high as 50 degrees. (I honestly blame the liquid cooler I put in there. Must spread heat throughout the case more often than a fan cooler. HDDs are sitting under it)

Don't lie, anon
Most ps2 games are in the low 50s and unless you use pal versions they play badly

I got a 1060 a while ago but I have just been playing the same old shit I already did before on my old card. I can't even remember what I got it for.

what good is price/performance ratio if it's already obsolete the day you buy it?

It didn't even have such a good price/performance ratio. Spending a bit more on a 270x actually got you more bang for the buck AND better performance at the same time.

>>383411068
Next gen is always "right around the corner" for GPUs

>>383414195
You can just calculate fps per [your currency here] using benchmarks of games that seem relevant. For me that would be Crysis 3, I guess. Haven't looked into benchmarks for GPUs in years. It's not so much that high end cards lose value, it's that they never have value to begin with. They are simply overpriced because a small market of "enthusiast" cucks keep buying them any way. 200-300 euros is the sweet spot imo.

>>383415036
GPU generations last 18 months on average.
GTX 1080 is 14 months old.
If you buy one now you are an idiot.

Still rocking my gtx 960 4gb, I only really play indie and older games (or ones that are more cpu bound) so I won't upgrade until I can't do 1080p med at 60fps.

Me personally, I'm running a potato by 2009 standards (4GB RAM, Core 2 Duo, Radeon 3450 which is barely above 2009 intergrated graphics). I'm looking to build something around the exceptional tier on logical increments ($1600 budget). Should I go for that, or is that overkill? I'm interested in running modern 8th gen shit at 1440p, and emulation.

I guess your CPU sucks. Never had an issue with PS2 emulation. Not a Burnout fan but everything I've tried runs in 3x native@60fps which looks plenty good enough on 1080p monitor.

I also wrote "pretty much", because I assume MGS3 is no go on this HW. That's why I have PS3.

Kinda, dont get a I7 for gaming, avoid AMD CPUs.
You dont need a GTX 1080 for 1080p@60FPS, that card is for 1440p or 144Hz at max settings, also VR.

Still rockin a 7970 oc'd to 1125mhz, handles any game I've thrown at it high/ultra even witcher 3 @ 1080p. If I can squeeze in a part time job this semester I'd like to save up for a 1070/vega and a new 120hz monitor for bannerlord.

I built a new Ryzen system 2 months ago and hopefully Vega will feature a ~200$ card.

It's 2 years newer than Half Life while being roughly in the same GPU tier as 1060 is today. However 1920x1200 was the 4K of those days, but I asume he has a fitting 1280x1024 monitor for era correctness.

Unless you play games, and specially, emulate games.

too bad all of the minerfags got the last of them about a month ago and all that's left is the shitty ass 1050

>>383410323
Start mining. NOW

I don't think the monitor is at fault.

He won't get an money before the market crashes.

I love my 570.

Currently replaying Doom at 1440p Ultra 60fps.

Still using my GTX 970. Is it worth me upgrading?

>>383420765
Their monitors are great as well.

Post them all.

>>383421263
It's a bit better than 1060/580

>>383421687
Not now. Just wait for the next generation. The 1000 series is fucked due to mining.

Only because Ryzen 3 isn't out yet.

>>383419008
You don't understand that I'm not saying "wait for 470s" to be cheap again, I'm saying wait for new cards in the $200-$300 range

>>383421687
Yeah, your parents should definitely upgrade you.

>>383421691
Yeah, but only the VQ, VS and PB series.
Good luck trying to get your money back or a new monitor because your monitor came back with dead pixels when it comes to the rest.

>What is market correction?

>>383421852
Not a meme. Wait for new cards you fucking stupid child. Overpaying for absolute shit is unacceptable. Either spend $700 or a top of the line card or wait for new mid tier cards

>>383421869
Etherium mining craze is going to be dead sooner rather than later. Unless he has a rig geared specifically to mine h'll get maybe half a coin at most.

Well, they can't refuse warranty in my country or else I can sue them to shit. Don't know how it is in burgerland.

>>383414195
Absolutely wrong advice. ALWAYS buy high end because those are the only cards with ANY resale value. I bought a 980ti for $350 in the summer of 2016 and sold it two months ago for $300. My 1080ti will have a high resale in two years meanwhile every 1070 and 1080 won't be worth their weight in shit

>>383410037
I owned a GTX 760 for about 3 years, upgraded to the 1080 a few days ago.

0 regrets
anyone want to upgrade from low to mid tier for 100$?

>>383420376
I literally got my r9 280x used for 130 bucks on eBay like 2 years ago and I can max out basically everything (1080p)

>>383422185
I think that's a bit expensive anon. I've trying to sell my 660 for $80 and nobody has asked yet

>>383422061
Dead pixels are not considered as a faulty panel in EU so they can refuse it.
Most screen sellers only will change your monitor for a new one only if you have 5+ dead pixels.

It fills with me smugness and anger that the Strix is back up to $700 after I got it for $550 eight months ago.

>0db fan: Off
>SOMEBODY LOCK ME UP

>>383422423
I can just send it back and get my money though. They can't refuse that.

>>383410353
for video games a 1080 is high end. Its a 500 card...

If youre a design work or simulations yeah a 1080 is mid tier but this is /v/ i thought.

anything above 4+ gb's of VRAM is higher end since its not really needed for most games.
2-4GB is mid range

anything lower is a toaster.

Not really, 4GHz Ryzen>3,9Ghz Kaby Lake, which are most of the locked ones, and the i5 only has 4 threads, already being fucked in most modern games.

For emulation, Ryzen is more than enough in that it runs PCSX2, Dolphin and CEMU just fine. I mean fuck, my old i5 750@3,5Ghz did aswell. The "emulation" meme only applies until you cap the framerate of the emulator, which even an overclocked Phenom x2 managed, albeit with a bit of shuttering in some specific games.

And no, the PS3 emulator utilizes 8 threads for game logic plus more for audio and OS, i5 is out of the game there aswell.

Who Zotac here?
I love their warranty.

>>383422181
>I bought a 980ti for $350 in the summer of 2016
That's because at that point it was already made obsolete by the GTX 1070.
Whoever bought a 980ti when it was still high end and cost $700 lost half its value in 12 months.

Same thing is going to happen to your 1080ti

Those chinks are pretty based, they replaced my 970 3.5gb meme with a 980 just had to pay shipping. Then it died just 2 weeks ago and RMA took a week round trip. Pretty nice

For 100€ I could keep the CPU for a few more years.

eh, its newer and has never had an issue. 100$ to play most major releases at 40-60fps isnt bad
