I'm trying to crank up my gtx560 using Asus gpu tweak. I've turned the core speed to 910mhz and it's perfectly stable, but it won't let me go any higher. I've tried turning the voltage up to 1.035 but still nothing. Is there any way to go higher?

I'm in the same boat, running a 560 (non ti in my case) at 1920x1200. The 1070 and Polaris are what interest me, the 1080 doesn't seem worth the premium for my usage.

~£170 for the new AMD card to max out everything on my U2412M sounds like a good plan to me, coming from a gtx560. Even my wife couldn't complain about that, right?

The 1070 prices are too big a jump from the 970 for my wallet. Here's hoping the RX480 can deliver.

Rabid Snake posted:Excuse my ignorance for exchange rates, but if the British Pound drops, how does that help the Euro when it comes to buying power? Because someone in the Euro can buy freely from the UK with no extra import fees or tax, so where 1 euro was worth x pounds yesterday, it's worth y today, so that 1080 might have cost (for example) 700 euros yesterday but can now be bought from the UK for the equivalent of 600 euros today. I don't think reality will be that extreme, but it could if the pound continues to tank.

I was waiting to see what the 480 was like before deciding what to upgrade to from my 560gtx. With the firesales going on, an Evga sc is £200 and a FTW + is £230. Other than dx12, would I be missing anything by going for the 970 over the 480? If the 970 is the better option, is the FTW+ worth the extra over the superclocked?

repiv posted:Yeah, don't buy a reference RX480 until the power draw situation is resolved. In this OCUK thread about the Sapphire Nitro 480, an OCUK staff member is saying that the power issue is no such thing and hugely downplaying the whole situation. Seems very dodgy if it's as bad as it could be. Rather surprising he's not just saying to wait and see, but I guess OCUK have cards to shift.

ConanTheLibrarian posted:I didn't read the OC thread but that card has an 8 pin connector so perhaps that's what they were talking about when they said that power draw wasn't an issue. No, the OC guy was talking about 480s in general, saying loads of cards go past pcie spec. E: "Power draw is not an issue on regular RX 480, it is something all current cards do which is exceed power draw, even a 960 does, but for some reason people are making a lot of noise on the RX 480 about it, whereas this is nothing new and effects plenty of other GPU's. It won't harm your mainboard and AMD are even releasing a new driver on 5th July next week to resolve such issue any way." Lungboy fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jul 4, 2016 |

As ever, it's "wait and see what the 3rd party cards are like" for me to choose between the 480 and 1060. Given it'll be replacing my 560, the 1060 seems like its spiritual successor.

Gwaihir posted:I thought the 480 fix wasn't a performance throttle, they were just going to overdraw the PSU instead of the PCIe slot, almost as if they weren't completely insane to start with. I think I read that AMD have actually given 2 options to fix the card, one to overdraw the PSU and the other is to downthrottle the card to draw less power but for a hit in performance. Neither option will be enabled by default though, so if you know nothing about the issue you could still fry your motherboard.

We might actually get information on clocks and such, as well as maybe hopefully a release date (but probably not, this is AMD PR we're talking about here... they'll probably waste time talking about nothing and then forget to give out information that anyone cares about). Guru3D say the boost clock is 1317mhz.

Beautiful Ninja posted:So from the looks of things, we might not see aftermarket RX 480's until mid-August. Asus announced their Strix was coming out mid-August, Sapphire said today in their weekly youtube show that they weren't in production yet and no one else has even mentioned a date yet. The GTX 1060 is launching Tuesday, with aftermarket cards available right away. If no RX 480 maker can release a card until mid-August, then it feels like AMD would have given away the mid-range to Nvidia, with them already giving away the high end with Vega not coming until 2017.

1060s are released at 2pm BST tomorrow on OCUK. I'd hope some benchmarks would go up before then. e: The Powercolor Devil 480 is up for pre-order on OCUK at £249, that's cheaper than the new Nitro+ price (as of tomorrow) and I think the boost speed is faster too.

If those results are repeated then it's a slightly slower and less efficient 480 vs a slightly faster and mor eefficient 1060. Prices look to be identical or very nearly, so it could come down to which version of sync you have or intend to get. For me, it would probably be the 480 and a freesync monitor later, even if it's a touch slower and hotter.

Gunder posted:I really would like the fancy MSI model, but £300 is too much. Still pretty tempted by a Saphire reference 480 instead. It's only £249. The Powercolor AIB is £249 and is clocked much higher, although who knows when it will be released. I think I'm going mad but I'm really leaning towards the 4gb reference 480, ebuyer have them for £174. Unlock the extra memory and it's an 8gb 480 for peanuts compared to the 1060s.

My friend is due a video card upgrade, and I was going to sell him my old 970 for £170, but if the RX 470 would be just as good (or better) for an equivalent price, he may be better off waiting until August 4th. He can get brand new 970s for £200 and a 4gb 480 for £180.

averox posted:In case someone isn't from the US and isn't familiar with Rent-A-Center, and I'm not sure if other countries have predatory businesses like this, they're stores that allow you to rent-to-own furniture, appliances, or electronics. A $400 Playstation 4 is only 52 payments of $29.99 a week for a grand total of $1559.48 in my area. A $700 (at bestbuy and amazom) LG 4K TV is only 104 payments of $29.99 a week for a total of $3118.96. We have the same setup in the UK, with stores like Brighthouse. They basically prey on poor people who can't afford £1500 for a tv in one go, but can just about scrape together the £30 a week or whatever. For example, a £1.5k 55" LG tv (a touch overpriced but not crazy) with delivery, installation and service plan (total ~£2k) is just 156 payments of £26. £4k!
