HalloKitty posted:MSRP is $299. Still kicking myself for buying my 270X ($219.99) back when 280X prices had gone stupidly stratospheric ($100 to $200 above MSRP). Welp, could have bought a GTX 760 for $40 more, but I was being exceptionally cheap about it.

I have one of these in 2GB form: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121802. Like Aleron says, it trades blows with the GTX 760. A good thing too, considering how I picked mine up a couple months back for $40 less than what the 760 was retailing a couple months back ($259).  Sadly, I haven't had any GPU-heavy games (GTA IV demands more from the CPU) to cane the poo poo out of it with to form any definite impression just yet.If I was in the market for a new card right this second, I'd probably just get a GTX 770 and be happy with the vastly improved performance, especially with dual monitors.

After reading all that history, I feel like a goddamned scrub. The first bonafide PC video card I've ever bought? My R9-270X  Up until then, I exclusively used laptops for my computing needs: first a 2003 HP with a 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon, then a 2007 Acer Aspire with a nVidia GeForce 7600GS and finally a 2010 Gateway with glorious Intel HD graphics.  At least the GeForce let me play GTA: San Andreas at reasonably high quality, plus it could handle plenty of SNES emulated games and a few PS1 ones pretty well. Then I managed to gently caress up said GeForce through attempted overclocking and wound up buying the Gateway instead of replacing the mobo on the Acer.Before all that, my first PC I could call my own was a Dell Dimension with a 166 Mhz Pentium. That was back in 2001-2002. And I still can't remember what kind of graphics it had. All I could remember was that using Photoshop was an exercise in monk-like patience. 90s Solo Cup fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Sep 8, 2014 |

I'm looking real hard at an Asus STRIX GTX 970 (when they're back in stock). I wonder how much of a step up it'll be from my current R9-270X.

Ragingsheep posted:People are unhappy with Nvidia's response 970's memory issue so the best thing to do would be to give them more money. Alright, so I have to ask: is it still worth upgrading to a GTX 970 from my current R9 270X? Because right about now, that's pretty much all I care about. I likely wouldn't give much of a poo poo if I'd bought a 770 instead, but that's neither here nor there.

The Iron Rose posted:I started PC gaming late, and being in high school went all in on the gaming laptop thing. Late GPU bloomer here. I exclusively used laptops during college and a few years beyond, so my GPU history was Radeon Mobility 345M > GeForce Go 7600 for a while, then another laptop with Intel onboard graphics. It was only around early 2014 that I finished up my first desktop build with an R9-270X and briefly stepped up to a GTX 970 a couple of years later. I'm currently debating between a 1070 and a 1080. Might go with the latter if the price is right.

NihilCredo posted:I've been thinking of upgrading for a while at the first chance, and I have a tempting Black Friday deal on a Zotac GTX 1080Ti Mini, a little over 10% off. And the mini form factor is especially interesting to me because I already have a small case (Core V1, which does fit most but not all full-sized GPUs) and I might switch to an even smaller one next year. 1) I've heard other goons pan Zotac's fans as being bottom-of-the-barrel, but I don't have any personal experience to verify that. 2) I thought about holding out for a next gen nVidia card, too, but doing that seems to be a fool's errand. 1080 prices seem to be going back up, so I'm leaning more towards a 1070 Ti. 3) I don't see why unless you want to save some money on your next card. If you can get a 1080 Ti, then go for it and enjoy the 4k gaming performance while it lasts.

slidebite posted:It's just so odd it's fine when the card is under load, it's when it's doing minimal work I get the kernel error. My R9 270X has been doing this lately - it'll work perfectly when gaming or doing anything else that puts it under load, but it'll occasionally black-screen when doing nothing but surfing on Chrome. So I cleaned out as much dust from the PC case as possible, re-did the PCI-E connections by giving each one its own cable instead of just using one cable and the splitter that comes with it and completely uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Now I'm just waiting to see if I'll have any more trouble out of it.

slidebite posted:ee: Except I just was browsing google maps satellite view and I had it happen again. This is so odd. Plugged in my kill-a-watt. I'm basically sitting at 68w, when I scroll in google maps it spikes to 130-135 when a new area loads, but settles right down. No idea if that power is more GPU or CPU related though I turned off GPU rasterization in Chrome thinking it would help prevent the lagging/freezing I was getting whenever a GIFV or Twitter/Facebook video was being loaded. You might want to go into Chrome Settings and turn off Hardware Acceleration, then go to Chrome://flags and turn off GPU rasterization and see if that helps.

Funny enough, I've never overclocked it (nor would I be willing to experiment with it now, at least not with decent vidya cards being as expensive as they are now.) Speaking of 8700K, I'm leaning real close to making that my next CPU for an upcoming build, as much as I want to try out the 1700X. Just can't bring myself to give up a little single-thread performance for slightly better multithread performance.
