MSI 1070s are in stock!  Can someone tell me how these coolers compare to the other models/brands people have got their hands on so far? Should I pull the trigger, or wait for a Gigabyte or something else?

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Judging by the benchmarks it seems they sacrificed raw horsepower and ROPs for better tesselation and Maxwell-case improvements. Cost reduction on the die was definitely a goal, but sucks for the people who want anything better than a 390 or 970 without shelling out 400 or more. I have a 6850 and I'm looking for an upgrade, and the 480 still isn't an appealing offer... in a vaccum it's a great card for the cost, but that puts me right back into the "good enough for now but gonna suck for years until you can afford an upgrade" spot that the 6850 did. With the exception of people who are 100% budget locked for some reason, I don't see why anyone wouldn't just save up another $200 or so and get a 1070, or wait to see how the 1060 fills the $300ish slot. Social Media posted:Newegg just put up new stock of the aforementioned GTX 1070. I'm sure it will go quickly. Late to the party, but I got one of that batch! I bought it based on a recommendation in the PC build thread, someone said the cooler was great... but I see a lot of folks itt recommending the EVGA and MSI options. Is that just out of general brand loyalty, or did I make a mistake?

Anime Schoolgirl posted:I'd wait for a 1070 when stock actually happens, so first week August at the earliest. Odds are slim that the 1060 will be worth its salt if it isn't just a further cut down GP104. Poorly phrased, I was speaking generally on behalf of that buyer bracket. I mention in the second half of that post that I actually got a 1070 yesterday.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:I hope you got it at 400 bucks or lower else you got had $430. If you scroll up you'll see I linked it in-post, was asking for opinions on the model. I know I could have waited, but I've been dealing with a trashbag card for so long that at this point I'm willing to pay the $30 premium to enjoy it now rather than later. My 6850 sounds like it's literally going to explode when idling in town in WoW on low/medium graphics.

I bought my friend a gigabyte 1070 (the two fan windforce model) for a build I'm helping him with, and he's twiddled his thumbs for two months on the build. We're just now getting down to brass tacks, and suddenly that GPU is not for sale anywhere reputable. The listing is totally gone off NewEgg, and only secondhand sellers have it on amazon. NCIX has it price gouged for $540. Should I be worried? Is there a reason this card got pulled in such a short time, was something wrong with it?

Ah cool, thanks! This laptop has an MX150 and I am beyond broke, so going above 60hz is not a thing I get to worry about in the next few years. Most likely I'll be running games at 1080p and low/med detail to even get 60fps, and just using the 1440p for work and browsing.

Is there any point in loving with the new EVGA queue implementation if the only thing I've purchased of theirs is a keyboard and I don't post on their forums (and won't, because I already post too much here)? It seems heavily weighted towards "loyal customers," which is something I would like to be in the future (since they seem to be the only manufacturer even half-heartedly attempting to work out some sort of fair MSRP system instead of just dumping them to scalpers first come first serve or doing the scalping themselves) if they will let me buy a drat card, but there was no reason for that kind of brand loyalty in the past. I normally wouldn't touch this market at all, but I'm unsure of how much longer the GTX 780 I have will last, and it's not like I'll be able to walk into a store and buy a replacement as needed if it does kick it.

buffalo all day posted:What model are you trying to get and where are you? I'm in the US (FL though, so no Microcenter) and concerned with bang for buck, so if the market wasn't turbofucked I'd be looking for a 3060 Ti. I have no idea if that's still my best bet, but it's where I'd start. buffalo all day posted:Unless you’re ready to wait months/years there are better ways to get EVGA cards. I can't afford (and wouldn't be willing even if I could) to pay scalped prices (and I'm including major retailers taking advantage of the stock situation in that, not just eBay resellers). I also can't afford to buy a mediocre premade or a bundle of poo poo some vendor wants off their shelves that I don't need or want just to have access to a card. Which, let's be real, is just scalping in a nice package. No shade to anyone who has been forced to go those routes or was just willing to, but my current card isn't dead yet and my wallet can't justify that level of drastic measure until it is. Almost every GPU victory I've seen people post has been one of those three paths or a goon hookup. So since I can afford to wait months (probably not years, lol) I thought I'd give the EVGA queue a go. Are there other options I'm missing?

Rinkles posted:RT's too much at 1440p for the 60ti, even at more modest settings (I wasn't expecting miracles). Especially since the DLSS does it no favors. I thought the DLSS implementation just sucked in this game, but with RT off it looks mostly fine. Can you expand on this? A 3060ti can't do ray tracing at 1440p without dropping half its fps? Is this the case of one poorly optimized game or a universal truth?

CoolCab posted:sweet that will give us an idea of the drivers. hey speaking of it's been like a decade since i dealt with them, how are intel's iGPU graphics drivers these days? Pretty legit, until I was gifted my current desktop I played games on my 6th gen X1 carbon for a long time. The only one that ever gave me any stability issues (albeit pretty unplayable ones in that one case) was Elite Dangerous. Which is a game that expressly requires a dGPU and is, you know, made by Frontier. So I'm not sure we can lay that at Intel's feet. Obviously the framerates weren't great, but arc is going to help that substantially if their predictions are even half true.

MarcusSA posted:They are obviously the worst of the 3 and have issues especially with newer games. I wouldn’t call them legit at all they are passable I guess. What kind of issues in what games? This definitely used to be true, but I thought was kind of accepted that it has gotten better in recent years. Ofc they're not on Nvidia/AMD's level, but in my anecdotal experience it's a better situation than "passable I guess" unless you're trying to play stuff that obviously isn't meant for any iGPU. I feel like you need to justify this strong a statement with more than just "obviously." But maybe I just got extremely lucky, idk.

 My partner and I also managed to snag 3070 Ti FEs at Best Buy yesterday, for their actual MSRP. Supposedly 31 locations across the US got simultaneous quiet stock drops of two dozen or more '70 Tis, along with some other locations earlier in the week. I'm hoping this is a sign of Nvidia's stock situation improving and crossing my fingers that we might see the same for the 60 Ti in the future (although admittedly if I was them, I'd keep doing it with the more expensive 70 Ti for as long as people kept snapping them up). If that miraculously happens, I'll definitely be grabbing two of those instead and selling these for cost+shipping to any goons who need them. The 70 Ti was well out of our budget, but with things being what they are, we decided there was no guarantee we'd see any deal even close to this anytime soon. I'm definitely not plugging this thing into my old, out-of-warranty bronze PSU though. So I'll have to wait until Thursday to start posting trip reports, after my EVGA PSU arrives. You know, the one that I bought specifically because I thought I'd only be able to get a card from their Queue 3.0?

So if you've checked your discord/BB app already (I have limited AM time so please don't make me step one) and you see hot GPUs singles in your area but can't reach those two for more info, hit me up. The more goons who can get hooked up with FEs instead of paying through the nose for bundles, the better. On weekends, best check with someone else. I will be unconscious.

Congrats! Let us know how hot that bad boy runs. I haven't tried mine yet. I tried to return mine for a regular 3070 yesterday when Best Buy dropped a bunch of those, but I had a space case moment and drove to the wrong store of the two near me that get drops. Which one is busier tends to be determined by which one got the stock announcement first, and I went to the same one as last time out of habit. By the time I got there, there were already more people in line than they had cards in stock. Tried to immediately turn around and haul rear end for the other store, but they sold out right as I reached their exit.  My PSU came in finally, so I'm probably going to accept my fate, install it tonight, and see how big of an issue the extra size and heat really is.
