Just got a GTX 1070

[Great Rumbler]

All games now set to Ultra graphics setting, but still output incredibly smooth framerates.

I had a 750 ti until now, and it's like going from a Model T to a Ferrari.

And the graphics are twice as good as the PS4 (and probably Neo). 

[Take My Breh Away]

Costs $379 in the US. In the EU it's over €450 so over €100 in European Tax.

Das Struggle

[fistfulofmetal]

I've been planning on picking one up for a bit. I got some display port cables and I need a DVI adapter for one of my monitors, also want to ensure my PSU has the right connections for it.

I think I'll probably pick one up in later July.

Been thinking of upgrading from my 660 for a while, especially after hearing DOOM doesn't run well on that.

aaaaawwwwww

You mean:

It's not an AMD card.

I really wanted to get a 1070 but this fucking root canal has ruined me

[benjipwns]

~$249-299, coming out ahead of schedule in a week-ish, mass market July 14th

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
ASIC: GP106-400-A1 and GP106-300-A1
16 nm FinFET process
120W TDP
1280 CUDA cores, spread across 10 streaming multiprocessors
80 TMUs and 48 ROP units
192-bit GDDR5 memory interface
6 GB and 3 GB models

Probably still want the 1070 because of that RAM if anything, but could get tempted on the 6GB of this if there's a good deal before the 1070 prices come down more.

[benjipwns]

Also, this is now a thing:


 

It stress tests at a peak (not average) temperature of 48 C.

[Rufus]

AMD have done that first.

And then the pumps made a high pitched sound and annoyed people.

Anyway, the 1060 has me interested. I expect a 50€ Nvidia tax (over the price of the 480, that is), but it might be the better pick over a 480. Then again, AMD supports older cards for a longer time...

wrong thread

EDIT: oh, I was in the right thread.


RE: GTX 1060 sounds nice, but maybe I should go for 1070 since I'm going for a long haul. At the same time though 1070 looks difficult to obtain at normal price at the moment. Decisions, decisions...

[kick51]

I feel sorta silly getting a 970 last fall for $300 but i can't say i wasnt repeatedly warned.

[benjipwns]

i bit and ordered this cutie for $199 last week with a tiny sale plus some discount/credit i had



6gb, is like 10% overlocked or something

under 7 inches long

i'm stepping up from a 560

[benjipwns]

will put the 560 on PhysX duty, play Mafia II's absurd benchmark maxed out (i think that's the one) until i see a single fps drop, then take it out for failure

oh wait, i should do Arkham Knight with all the crap on to see if it'll destroy the card

[Great Rumbler]

I played Arkham Knight maxed out on a 1070, ran pretty great.

Good.

And yes, these short cards are so adorable.

[benjipwns]

actually, i should confess that i usually turn physx down or off more because the fluid simulation looked (still does maybe?) like complete garbage to me more than trying to increase framerate, i wish there was a way to turn on/off certain effects only

geforce experience says i could max it out in borderlands 2 even on this 560, for example, but i automatically turned it off back when that came out because i saw the ugly fluid graphics in a trailer

also i think in the first batman or something there was no proper clipping on the cloth simulation so it'd constantly clip through all the geometry

oh PhysX i remember when you had some GAFfers convinced we'd all be putting PhysX cards in our computers only to immediately see GPGPU capabilities appear and you sell out to nVidia before you became worthless

i'm shocked to find out that nVidia actually put it somewhat open source last year and the SDK has been free yet Batman is like the only "name" thing to come out that used it in like two years since Borderlands Pre-Sequel and the prior Batman though apparently Fallout 4 got a patch for bullet debris powered by FLEX and Star Citizen is using it

Battlefield 1 on a 1070
 

[Take My Breh Away]

Fucking Brexit pricing has sent 1070 pricing well above £400/€400 from the already distinguished mentally-challenged amounts its going for. The RX 480 and 1060 are well above £200/€200 as well.

Would try import but Customs would just nail me like last time I ordered from the US

Welcome to mainland prices. 1070s started higher. Some near or over 500€.

[Take My Breh Away]

Ireland. Big prices. Small dicks

Mainland used to be way better. I ordered cheap parts from Germany and got them no problem back in 2011-2014 ish but it's been terrible compared to US prices lately.

I'm sorry about your small dick and expensive goods.
