Jan posted:But that's because 120hz does not solve a problem other than one of opinion. Whereas G-sync is a solution to a real, common issue. His point still stands though, most people don't even know the difference between network latency and fps. Most people don't know and don't care about these things. We know and we "care" because we choose to build our systems and follow hardware news, but I'd wager we are the minority. This looks like a nice piece of tech like dedicated physx cards that only a few lavish spenders will go for. Not really looking good in terms of bang for buck right now.

If anyone has the inclination or the time to help me with my GPU issues, I'd greatly appreciate it. I bought an ASUS Matrix ROG 280x at launch and it has been artifacting after a few hours of play in BF4 since the first week. I should have RMA'ed it, I can probably still RMA it but I discovered that odds are very likely the replacement model will also artifact because most of these cards are just "defective." So I'm looking for other solutions instead: 1. Buy NVIDIA (never had an artifacting issue with Nvidia cards), I'm looking at the 770 but in terms of performance they seem to be equal and I'd feel stupid throwing money away like that. I'd rather wait for the next generation of cards. 2. Downclocked from 1100 to 1000 GPU and 1600 to 1500 MEM which seems to have alleviated the artifacting problem but now if I have BF4 open (did not have time to test other games) and open a video (ex: youtube) I get a light blue color screen which locks up the computer but sound will continue to play. 3. Try different drivers; no catalyst driver has helped so far and some users report fixing the issue by updating the bios on their other 280x card but ASUS does not have any updates for this card. Couple of things to bear in mind, all temperatures are nominal and are well within acceptable operational ranges. GPU stays around 70-78° during gaming and I have not tampered with voltages (yet). Edit: I used to run a 580GTX on this same PC and power supply.

Turns out I can't RMA it  But good news is that bumping memory clock down from 1600 to 1550 has solved all artifacting.

Senjuro posted:It is normal for new cards to have such a small window between official announcement and release? Wouldn't they want to give people some time to plan ahead for what is usually a pretty big expenditure? I might be talking out of my rear end but I feel like the vast majority of GPU buyers aren't planning their upgrade cycles much less analyzing advance specs leaks.

suddenlyissoon posted:I already got some sucker on Craigslist to buy my 970 for $300 (after I only paid 340 and got ~90-ish back from Newegg for the memory fiasco). WHY CAN'T YOU STOCK ANY 980 TI'S, AMAZON! Any brand/fan recommendations for the 980ti? I've been on an oc'ed r280x so noise level is an issue for me and I'm trying to avoid "bad rep" cards like the 1.0 970 evga (but I love evga).

Been forever since I played anything at anything other than native res. If I get a 1440p screen and play at 1080p cause I have a 280x (holding for pascal but need a screen now) will I notice a substantial drop in performance?

I just can't justify $700 on a monitor and I don't want to take a performance hit and buy a 4k display just yet. If you have a micro enter nearby check them. I got a XB271HU bmiprz for 20% off when I bought a cpu two months ago. They're always running some sort of deals.

xthetenth posted:The 1080 has a stonking huge upcharge because it's the fastest single chip. That value goes poof the moment the 1080 Ti comes out. Then another wad of value goes poof when the next generation drops. There is no single worse card to buy to hold for 2+ years than a GTX x80 because nothing else takes two hits like that in the span of two years. The 1070 will remain the 1070 and priced accordingly for 2 years. The 1080 Ti will drop a year after release when the next generation drops, but will stay at the same spot the two years after that. AMD cards will linger on far longer than wanted and slowly drop down the scale, probably on a two year cadence. I strongly recommend a 1070 and the difference in cash set aside for an upgrade over the 1080. It will do much better over 5 years, and be especially better at the end of those years, when the 1080 would really be dragging hard. Your facts are all wrong, go look at MSRP and current used prices and releases dates. The value does not go poof, even if it did the same would hold true for any other card.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:That is not true at all. There are plenty of games that will run slower than they could because the CPU can't feed the GPU fast enough, they tend to be badly optimized or have other issues but they still exist, it becomes especially apparent if you render at lower resolutions where the GPU could push a crazy number of frames but caps out instead. well you're picking an edge case really but technically are correct

THE DOG HOUSE posted:How is yours dying? I have two (7870s anyway) that died/went bad in a week and I was pretty surprised because I've never had a single video card failure in my life. The factory OC always artifacted but I never RMA'ed because I'm dumb. And now even underclocking doesn't reduce artifacts anymore, I'm now getting what can only be described as a flashing QR code in one consistent part of the screen (on different monitors and different PCs, OS, drivers). Temps are fine. Lockback posted:Unless something changed I believe the answer is "you cannot". The release was really just a few days ago, and right now the FE is the only card that has any availability, and even that is scarce at best. If you can limp along for a few weeks you may see some trickle out, though I think the manufacturers and retailers will continue to take advantage of the outstripped supply and charge a premium for a while. This makes me sad. I really want the 1070 strix but asus doesn't have a release date and their forums don't even talk about it.

I installed the 1070 strix on Friday night and have been playing doom on ultra with gsync and everything cranked up at 1440p, it's incredible. I've haven't had a PC with this much horsepower ever and I haven't even OC'ed the cpu or gpu http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9247258 A couple of things about the strix and ASUS in general. 1. Why the gently caress do I need two versions of AURA to control the motherboard and the gpu? 2. Why the gently caress did you guys forget to put LEDs behind the STRIX lettering on the gpu?
