what games are you running that need a 1070 anyway?
just go with something lower end, you don't need it

my 290 would run everything i wanted to play but it's begun dicentary. Nothing of value to buy right now and vega 56 doesn't look promising.

the 1070 is a waste if you don't have a 1440p or 144hz monitor, 2k/4k super sampling is always an option, but it's more taxing than just running at that native resolution.

Not only is it weaker than a 1080, the high TDP requirements means you need 600w+ power supply for it plus good fans. Might as well buy a 1080ti and you will spend almost the same for it.

>>385751391
Daily reminder: This is a misconception.

Mining is effectively high-level practical binning that is a good indicator of card quality and durability. Mining runs the cards consistently meaning temperatures only fluctuate with ambient temperature, there is less wear and tear on them than in the average used gaming card since gaming cards run temperatures all over the fucking charts meaning they're more likely to cause damage. Miners will also be abusing RMA practices and refreshing cards when and if they can to sell for a better return.

Basically, a bunch of fucking twats use CPUS and GPUs to crunch huge amounts of numbers to help find certain configurations of numbers to generate some crypto-bux.

But both the GPUs and CPUs are run at max power 24/7, so they don't last very long. So these shitlords buy loads of them (which increases demand) then burn them out and sell them cheap, which crashes the used market.

All for some digital coins.

Bitcoin and its derivatives are "mined" by calculating hash functions. Basically you use lots of processing power to solve a really complicated puzzle and get some bitcoin as a treat when you do. In addition to creating new coins for themselves (out of a limited pool), these miners also keep the whole bitcoin system running so that people can send and receive bitcoins, and are also paid a small transaction reward when they verify transactions (again, by calculating hashes).

After bitcoin got popular, the chinks invented a special chip, an ASIC, that does nothing but mine bitcoin and does it much better than general-purpose processors like CPUs or GPUs ever could. Bitcoin mining these days is only really profitable using these specialized chips.

Because of this, a bunch of butthurt redditors who wanted to make free money in their basements got together and invented a new bitcoin called Ethereum that's designed to be much harder for ASICs to mine. Ethereum requires a lot more RAM than bitcoin, and the RAM needs to be fast, so it's harder to design a cheap ASIC for mining it. This means that the most efficient way to mine it right now is with GPUs, because they have lots of processing power and fast memory.

No one actually uses Ethereum except the miners themselves, but a lot of people are mining it in case it becomes useful at some point. These people are also buying out GPU stocks to get in on the bubble before it bursts.

>>385750556
>you don't NEED it

The biggest ace under AMD's sleeve is Freesync.
Essentially Vega won't top Pascal but you will be getting GTX1080 level performance and save hundreds of dollars on a freesync monitor (which you SHOULD have).

The 1060 is similar to AMD's 480 in performance and pricing (on paper the 480 is a little bit stronger), so that's the other one you might want to look at. However, >AMD has comparatively worse drivers and may have worse real-world performance, although some will debate this.

If you want even cheaper, you can consider the 1050Ti. It has good price-to-performance, but is relatively weak for graphics intensive games. It ought to run new games on medium-ish settings, though, if that's enough for you.

1070s are so inflated that I just bought a 1080 instead.

There's really no end in sight for this cryptomeme. GPU manufacterers are talking about making cards for mining which would be a better price:performance for miners (they undervolt their cards and rely on memory so buying a 1070 is paying for way more clock speed than they need), steering them away from gayman cards. But that could take a year or more to hit shelves for all we know, and it could take months of it being available before it starts to affect prices.

>>385755101
they still produce heat which damages the components, also constant fan usage damages them too. If they break pretty much the warranty is going to be useless because no one accepts mining cards anymore, you can look up more details.
Theres no reason to buy a mining card, not only are you getting a piece of shit but you are also giving more money to the same retards that fucked the price of gpus for everyone else

>>385759662
You're and idiot if you think that ban will work like that.

The process for generating keys for cryptocurrency is fundamentally similar to the process that websites use to store your password. The (competent) websites never actually have your password, they just have a key that is generated using your password as an input. Every time you log in, that key gets generated on your computer and the result gets sent to the website. The website checks that it matches and knows you put the correct password in without ever actually knowing your password.

For this type of encryption to get banned, every website would have to start storing your passwords in plain text, which is basically handing over your personal information to anyone who ever manages to get a look at their system's files. Or worse, if you reuse passwords, you're handing them the key to your city.

my local microcenter has good deals. you'd be dumb to buy the `1070, you can find 1080s for around 500. even online

>>385751198
There is none, price performance has gone no where the past 3 years

Today you can get a 1060/580 for 300 bucks, 3 years ago you get basically same performance for 300 bucks 970/290

>>385766758
Running a card 24/7 undervolted the way miners do is actually better for the card's lifespan than the sporadic loads gamers subject their cards to. The fan gets more wear since it's mechanical, but they can be replaced. If you're gonna buy a used card, it's safer to go with a miner. The only downside is that they flash the BIOS, which voids the warranty - if it's even transferable in the first place - but you can pretend that never happened by restoring the original BIOS, if the miner hasn't done so already.

Why the fuck would you buy a pascal card now when they're about to get a price drop and volta is 6 months away?!

Vega 56 is dead in the middle of 1070 and 1080 performance for 400 dollaridoos, and will probably overtake the 1080 with fine wine drivers and proper dx12/vulkan support. Vega 64 is a bit of a disappointment but still edges ahead of the 1080 at the same price point

When volta comes along with proper dx12 support pascal/Maxwell is gonna be dropped like Kepler

in fact we should actually pay more for cards that were used for mining because they're better

>>385761330
Laugh all you want, I made £1800 out of dogecoin thanks to /g/, my 7950 and a week of experimental mining

Pathetic.

One X with same power is $500 as well. PC fags are pathetic.

Not them but it's a license system, and only (((compliant))) parties may use any form of encryption for anything. It's basically an attempt to crack down on anti immigration "hate speech". Also very unlikely to pass thanks to brexit.

>>385750382
i literally got a new 1080 for that price

>>385752351
doesnt that ryzen cpu come with a stock cooler? i head they werent too bad. did you change it out due to a clearance issue, or something else?

>>385757610

>shortage

no such thing, its artificial supply and demand.

Two weeks, boys, can't wait for the benchmarks. Bet it isn't that game changing.

>>385772885
not that anon but the ryzens with an x dont come with a cooler. The one he picked should.

>>385752972
I have a 1440p 144hz monitor you stupid cuck

yeah, the wraith coolers are great but i wanted something a little quieter.

Funny thing is, I've had way less issues with amd cards than nvidia. And I've been using amd since the HD 3000 series.

All the "issues" are just projection from nvidia fanboys.

>>385750556
1080p is trash.

Got mine for $190

Feels good bros

>>385751606
Mindset like this is why amd keep losing marketshare even when they have the superior product e.g. 7970

Soon we'll have an nvidia monopoly and you'll be paying 750 dollars for the latest mid range card that's 15% faster than last gen, and everything will be locked down and proprietary.

Why is Keanu Reeves' head looking at a phone?

>>385753335
>tfw got a 290 three years ago for £240

Price/performance has gone fucking nowhere since amd gave up vs nvidia marketing team

>>385757739
480 should be able to ultra witcher 3.

I can ultra 1080/60 no hairworks it on a 2500k and 980

>tfw fell for the 750 ti meme
i will never forgive myself

Never buy anything lower than x60

Even then some 60 cards were really poor like the 760/960

>>385751101
I was able to get a 1060 6GB for like $230 tops, dunno where you're getting those assumptions form

>>385777449
Seems like you've been living under a rock the past 2 months. Where would someone get a 1060 for that price?

Holy shit you're right. I bought mine in December

How long will mining be profitable for? It looks like if will be at least 2, 3 years at this rate

>>385750382
>not wanting 1080 performance for 1070 price
Unless you're mining, power draw doesn't even matter.

>>385777787
And you need a 600w+ power supply. So you need to buy one if you don't have one.

For the same amount of time as the last one lasted.

>tfw based 7950 was going for under 200 bucks all the time. Could play every game maxed out and had 3gb of RAM.
>going to purchase in a week
>450 dollarinos now
>cry
>settle for gtx 770 2gb for 330 bucks

I still wonder what could've been. Only good thing to happen was the card coming with 3 game codes. Shaved 60 bucks off the price after selling them.

>I understand Enzo is not a big tipper

>>385750382

Best Buy sells 1070s for 400$, they're likely out of stock though, you might have to order yours.

>>385778347
That's not how it works. You don't need a huge power supply for it. Most 500-600w ones will run it no problem. These cards and overall system configurations don't draw as much power as you think. Look it up even.

>>385777750
No idea, you can't predict it.

It was highly profitable late 2012 until mid 2013, died down and recent surged to new heights. It's always profitable if you mine the right coins at the right time and trade/sell them at the right time.

I'm considering putting all of my savings into bit coin if it crashes again. If I done that when I first got into crypto and bitcoin was anywhere from 200 dollars to 800 I'd have a house paid off and live neet for 5 years

>mfw i used to run a reference 290 on a 450w psu

>>385778347
Vega 56 is 225w

That's not even that bad for just under 1080 performance

I also like how everyone ignores power consumption when Intels is sky high compared to ryzen

>>385754670
John Wick 2, he gets captured and buried alive.

>>385778347
>still thinks TDP is power consumption

Protip: nvidia always puts less than what the card uses, and if you oc the supposedly low power goes out the window anyway. Amd always puts slightly higher than what is needed.

>>385775097
30 fps native 4k retard. 1070 cant do 4k/60.

>>385778351
Man, 770 was terrible value compared to AMDs competition

I remember buying my 7950 3gb for £220 when 670s were going for £300

>>385778886
Sounds confusing.
I assumed the recommended power supply listed on the card was just leeway for the company. You know... So that people don't get mad when their crappy PSUs don't work or have the right connectors.

Pic related.

Whats the best upgrade from a 760?

>>385778905
>native 4k

top kek. And yes a 1070 can do 4k/60 at high in the most recent demanding games.

Don't see how that compares to upscaled 4k/30 at medium high

>>385779191
1060 6gb or 580/480,whatever is the cheapest

>>385750382
FREE FUCKING PIZZA

>>385778583
I might go bitcoin too once I have 5000 dollars then go long for it.

>>385750382
Didn't believe it until I saw prices on ebay.

Why the fuck did it go up? I bought a new 1070 for $380 back in January so if anything prices should have dropped

Whats a good graphics card to buy if you are a fag who likes 1080p 60+ fps ?

>>385753474
Mining for a long period damages the hardware. Also don't forget you need power to mine, so you lose money to power the damn thing as well.

>>385753474
Too had they aren't bundling games with these cards, would be an influx of codes on eBay.
