bull3964 posted:The GTX 1080 is sold out and backordered everywhere so it's not going to be more expedient to get one of those. I figured a lot of people would wait for the GTX 1070 instead, seems to have really good price/quality. I'm having hard drive problems right now, and am looking at building an entirely new rig fairly soon. So I hope the 1070 doesn't have the same availability problems (it will).

Does anyone know when we're going to start seeing aftermarket editions of the 1070 and 1080? How much of a difference will it make? This is the first time I've been looking to buy a graphics card so close to its release.

AVeryLargeRadish posted:We will be seeing some of them on release day on June 10th. I'm expecting some of them with reference boards but custom coolers right away, there might be a few with custom boards on release in small quantities too but I expect most of the custom board designs to be out within a month or two. Pascal apparently has some yield issues so supply is quite limited, how that will effect the 1070 is anyones guess, if most of the yield issues are leading to chips being cut down to the point where they can still be used as 1070 chips the supply of 1070s should be pretty good, if the yield issues are more severe then both the 1080 and 1070 will be very constrained and you might have to wait weeks after ordering one for it to ship out to you. For the 1070, would you recommend I wait the extra time for the custom board + custom cooler instead of reference board + custom cooler? I gather that the main difference is that some of the custom boards come overclocked out of the box. I'm definitely not inclined to buy Founders Edition because of the extra cost and some bad things I've read about the cooler of the 1080.

Ah. If I'm not interested in overclocking my graphics card myself, but I wouldn't mind slightly better performance out of the box, I might as well go reference board + custom cooler? Or are there other differences in quality? I'm assuming no one here has a custom 1080 yet considering the supply problems, but if you do I'm curious to see which one you went for.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:Yes, but custom boards take time to design, as does modifying whatever needs to be modified to fit their custom coolers to the reference board. True, but they've had their hands on the 1070 for a while now, I think some customs have even been announced already (Inno3D for example).

K8.0 posted:Far from overkill, the 1080 can't even do 1440/144 for the most part, and even the Titan won't. That is where you really want to go. IMO it's insane to keep pushing resolutions higher and push the boundaries of being able to discern individual pixels without pushing framerates first. There isn't really a benefit to pushing the limits of individually perceptible pixels in motion when objects are jumping dozens of pixels per frame anyway. Wait, I thought the 1080 and even the 1070 killed it on 1440p, and it's only 4K where the 1080 starts running into trouble on the highest settings? Did I misinterpret the benchmarks?

I'm in the same boat but from what I understand it's too early to give a conclusive recommendation for any specific situation, a lot of custom cards aren't even out yet. Wait a few weeks for the smoke to clear.

Chuu posted:While we're talking about stock, 1070 FE cards have been widely avaliable all day at MSRP ($450). This is probably more evidence that the supply constraint on 1080s right now is the memory, not the chips. I hope this is true so I can build my new computer this month

The GTX 970 is not enough to get 60+ FPS on the highest settings in many new games, so it all depends on how important that is to you.

I'm joking, I'm buying one myself, it's obviously high-end as far as currently available cards go. One day, inshallah, it will be considered a card for grandmothers as the rest of us are watching porn in 8K with our virtual reality headsets or whatever.

Linx posted:Got my 1070FE today, it's a really solid card. Apart from a few quirks where certain games didn't know what the gently caress it was (looking at you Fallout 4) and also the most up to date version of GeForce experience claiming to not meet the minimum requirement for optimising games. Speccy also seems to think that it only has 4096 VRAM for some reason. I assume because the card is new out or something? No trouble on the gaming front?

VulgarandStupid posted:It's DDR3. You can probably get a pretty good overclock out of that processor as long as you have a decent cooler. Most games won't bottleneck on that CPU so it's probably worth hanging on to, at least until the next wave. That is, of course, unless you happen to play or want to play the games that are more CPU intensive. Anyone have any experience with Paradox games after upgrading? They seem like the kind of game to be CPU-intensive. Will it reduce sluggishness to upgrade from an i7-3820 to an i7-6700k? I know the processor tends to be much less of a bottleneck these days, but I'm assuming it depends on the game.

Looking forward to finally playing Arkham Knight, and GTA V, and a bunch of other games I've passed over due to them not quite running well enough. I'm also upgrading from a 760, should be a pretty big difference once I can finally get my new system together.
