Gaming So who else is getting the gtx 1080?

[raystriker]

You can never really tell, as nvidia has basically bought off all the AAA game devs to make it more optimized for their cards (and shitty for AMD users). And why not this on 1080? It will be amazing at 1080, and enough at that (above 60fps at max).

Again, it is priced uphill. I'm pretty sure Polaris will manage 1080 at 60fps pretty well. Mind you, Polaris is aiming to be affordable.

I see, if what you're saying is true, something below $380 and yet beating the performance would be heaven, kinda doubt that but I guess time will tell.

I hope you didn't get it off amazon... People who got it early are selling it there for much more than the advertised price.

And where is the GTX 1070 option? ;P

My friend let me buy it early from the store he works at so no I didn't pay the ridiculous amazon prices.

Wow lucky you!

Maybe I'll get a 1070 for my PC build.

1070 is releasing the 10th of june right? Might pick it up for my brothers birthday

Is it? With the other manufacturer versions? I thought the release date wasn't, well, released yet.

AFAIK its the 10th of june. Think I read it in some article.

Not really.

Vast majority of games the 970 & 290/390 perform moreless the same. 390X & 980 tend to trade blows. 980ti tends to beat fury X more often than not, but that's nothing to do with Nvidia, fury X is just bad.

Of course, there's a handful of games that ran worse on AMD than Nvidia, but the reverse is also true, with games that run much better on AMD over Nvidia, but those are always ignored or written off as a "bad port".

I plan on grabbing a 1070 instead of a 1080, pretty much because of the price difference.

 

[vayanui8]

I'm going to get either a 1080 or a 1070. It really comes down to how big the performance gap ends up being between them. If the 1080 is a far superior card I will get it, but if it's like the 970 and 980 where the 970 could reach similar performance with overclocking I'll just save myself the money and get a 1070

 

[verifyvenuz]

Either waiting for non-reference (seriously? "Founders Edition"?) cards or getting AMD. I'd rather support the latter, but if it comes at a big performance disadvantage then nah.

BTW, I'm not exactly immersed in the deep PC lore -- would a i5-6500 work properly with a 1080? I could get a 6600k (overclocking is tempting...) but with a cooler it's an extra 300 shitty Poland bucks

Yup, just confirmed it, can't wait.

So you're saying as there are games unoptimized for amd, there are also games like that for nvidia? And they're bad ports? Like what games? I faintly remember arkham knight was better on amd, but I'm not entirely sure.

That's just 10 days before school resumes here. I'll hopefully have enough money by then. I just don't want to start another school year without a PC. It's horrible.

 

[Feeling it!]

It runs pong great on 4 sly.

 

[Deleted User]

Yeah,


I do love the actual price tho, and the 1070's too. The 1070 is supposed to be equivalent to a Titan X, and is only $379.




Should've waited for titan x prices to go downhill.

nah i would not get it for the same price as i got the r9 290

 

[Armadillo]

Yes

And they're bad ports?

No, not bad ports. But whenever AMD have a significant advantage in a game, Nvidia fans like to write the game off as a bad port, rather than it just working better on AMD.

Quantum break. Pretty much unplayable on Nvidia, suffers frequent driver crashes, but is fine on AMD.
Hitman. AMD significantly outperforms Nvidia.
Ryse Son of Rome. Performs like shit on maxell.


Most games work fine just fine on both brands except for the occasional game favouring one brand over the other. The whole AMD running most games bad because Nvidia pay devs off is just pure fantasy.

Thanks for clearing it up. And maybe it is fantasy, but one part of it is true, the exclusive "GameWorks" nvidia pays devs to put in their games, that work better on nvidia cards than amd cards (not that it's still good performance, but it is better).

Resumes!!?? It is 6 days before school ends here

 

[Originality]

I upgraded to a 980 Ti earlier this year (out of necessity) so I won't be upgrading to this generation. I'll wait for the 1180 instead.
