Oh we're on the same page now, I just literally can't believe it. I've never had any card drop more than 13 mhz or so, seeing 300-400 was a bit of a shock especially if the cooler could handle it. I've had so so so many cards too... but never a reference

Instant Grat posted:No but, I mean, look at this No, you're correct: they're all the exact same card, just build by different manufacturers. So basically you're picking who you want to deal with for warranty support (Hint: EVGA). The entire idea of the FE cards is that they are identical; a reference-build, if you will, just up-scaled with a fancy heatsink.

Wasn't someone here looking for a 1080ti with a waterblock-friendly reference PCB and cheap-rear end disposable cooler? Zotac is making one of those: https://www.zotac.com/gb/product/graphics_card/zotac-geforce-gtx-1080-ti

Now that I have suffered the indignity of trying to order a video card on launch day, I'm just going to wait for something from EVGA. I really liked that card I just returned in anticipation for this founders garbage.

SwissArmyDruid posted:Interposers are almost de-facto what has to be used. However, when Hynix was doing their presentations on HBM, it was strongly implied that the entire bottom surface of stacked chips did not need to sit entirely on an interposer, and could in fact hang off the edge. Might not want to, for sturdiness purposes, but it implies that you could sink two or more interposers side-by-side into a ceramic substrate. then place 2/4/6/8 GPU dies on top, bridging the interposers, then using the rest of the interposer space to load up on HBM. This is like emib I guess

It seems like the 1080 Ti is now included in the For Honor / Wildlands promo. Anyone who preordered from the Nvidia website get their promo code with their invoice? The invoice only shows my videocard serial number.

The blower 1080ti Nvidias seeling will definitely be worse for overclocking than the fan ones right?

Surprise Giraffe posted:The blower 1080ti Nvidias seeling will definitely be worse for overclocking than the fan ones right? The blower is pretty loud, if you're running it at 120% power limit and maximum OC you'll have to crank the fan speed to 75%+ to prevent throttling, but if you're OK with that there probably won't be a huge difference. Personally I'd wait for the custom coolers.

I used to have a reference 680 SLI. So loud. But the pitch, too!  My 970 Gaming 4G is pretty much dead silent even when maxed out. Hopefully the 1080 Ti from MSI will be just as quiet. I hear those all-in-one water cooled GPU's aren't as quiet as you have pump noise to deal with.

Some of the pre-made ones (like the Seahawk or the EVGA Hybrid) can have some pump noise, but they're still pretty quiet. If you go for a roll-your-own G10 + AIO (H55/H60/etc) they can be virtually dead silent. For instance, I have a LQ320 strapped to my 1080 and it's inaudible.

If I'm planning to be at 1080p for the foreseeable future (other than streaming movies to what will probably be a 4k tv), should I still look no further than the 1070 (at most)? Or should I move up to a 1080 at this point with the recent price drops? Do I need to be talked off this ledge?

ill give him a 1070. e: the 1070 does pretty much everything at higher than 60 fps for 1080p at highest possible settings, and a good bit of games at 1440p.

As much as you can afford, then use DSR to make it look really good. Without getting into that, yeah, 1070 is likely good enough. My 1080 is on a TV that takes 120hz at 1080p, and plays most at 120fps with max detail. I imagine a 1070 will maintain 60 in everything. Plus it saves some for games that you'll likely want to buy.

I went with the 1060 6GB for similar reasons, and I don't see upgrading beyond 60hz monitors for a long while - gotta focus on a new mobo, CPU, and RAM before that, and probably a bigger SSD. I've been mostly CPU-bound, and in games that aren't the 1060 has been tearing along just fine. The 1070 would give you a little more future-proofing, though, if nothing else.

These aftermarket bad boys are now ready for pre-order at Overclockers UK. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-components/graphics-cards/nvidia/geforce-gtx-1080-ti I'm setting my eyes on the ASUS ROG STRIX and ZOTAC AMP EXTREME.

The 1070 is already a bit into the "future proof" region for 1080p without going totally overboard, I'd say it's a good choice.

I know I was all in on grabbing a 1080 because of the price range. But, really, my gaming is either on a 40" 4K TV or a 1080P 65" TV. Should I just get a 1070 instead? Or is it even enough of an upgrade over my 970?

The 1070 is faster than the 970 by about 2/3, definitely a worthwhile upgrade but on the other hand the 970 is still a fairly capable 1080p card depending on the games and settings. It all depends on your needs and what you consider a large enough gap to justify the upgrade. EDIT: The 1080 is slightly over 100% faster than the 970, here's a comparison.

I've got an i5-3350p + a gtx 960. Thinking of bumping up to a 1060 or 1070. Would online benchmarks be fairly accurate, or would I need to adjust them a bit for my older CPU?

Yeah, I was just wondering if "the future" had already arrived for the 1070. There was some benchmark going around today that showed less than 60fps for 1080p in Ghost Recon: Wildlands with a 1070. I'll be building a new computer this month, and between the price drops after the 1080ti reveal and the fact I have a couple Amazon gift cards, I'm considering grabbing a 1080 to better secure my precious 1080p 60hz gameplay... I'm probably an idiot in this.

This is a really dumb question, I'm on a 6600k at 4.7ghz at 16 gigs of 2666 ddr4 with a 1070 SC FTW, 1080's are absurdly cheap on my local craigslist right now -- is it worth the upgrade or is it not going to be that noticable? I'm using a 1440p 165hz g-sync monitor as well.

There was some benchmark going around today that showed less than 60fps for 1080p in Ghost Recon: Wildlands with a 1070. Wait till you try turning on DSR and then just see what happens to your framerates. IMO, games that do checkerboard rendering really do benefit from DSR though, otherwise I think it looks a little funky. Or at least that's my theory as to why MGSV benefits so much from 1.4x DSR On the flip side though - I haven't noticed many other games that benefit substantially from DSR - but most of them don't use checkerboard rendering either. edit: There's nothing wrong with the 1080, especially if you are only at 1080p. If you can pick one up for say $450, then that's still pretty substantially better performance-per-dollar than the 1080 Ti. It's pretty far into "high-end 1440p performance" territory let alone 1080p. I still think you're good with a 1070 at 1080p though. I would rather put the money towards a GSync monitor. Seriously ask anyone who owns one, it's mindblowing how smooth 40fps can be, and not having to push 60fps minimum/70 fps avg can be a big savings in graphics cards. And you can use a monitor for at least 5 years, so it'll save you money long term. A 1070 is still going to be totally fine at 1440p, even moreso if you have GSync. double edit: oh, the other game I've found that looks pretty nice with DSR is Mass Effect 1. I installed the high-res texture pack, running 1.4x DSR at 1440p, and I disabled the framerate limiter, and I'm still doing 80fps no problem. It's funny to go back and turn on some mega-quality settings with older games. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Mar 11, 2017 |

It's funny to go back and turn on some mega-quality settings with older games. I'll attest to this. Playing ME1 back when it first came out, every single straight line looked like a jigsaw blade and there was nothing you could do about it because deferred rendering meant you couldn't force AA in graphics card drivers, and post-process AA injectors were years away. Now I'm playing it using VSR (or whatever AMD calls their version of DSR) at 4k on a 1080p monitor and it looks perfect. Maybe I should wait 10 years to play every game.

Is the difference in performance between a 1070 and 1080 going to be substantial in a 3570k system, enough to justify the ~$150 price difference? Pushing a 4k monitor, but only at 60hz, and don't really care about maxing out settings.
