I've been out of the country all month. When can we expect to buy the 1070 or 1080 at normal price?

Also when are they going to be the actual MSRP of $379 and $500 or whatever they were originally announced at?

Is a 1080 the card that will be recommended for 1440p and VR if the OP was updated? 1070 for 1080p?

What's a good way to tell the difference between all the different type of 1070 cards there are? This one just came back in stock. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ID=6202798&SID=

Obviously the 2 vs 3 fan thing is one difference.

You can backorder the Gigabyte G1 1070 now if you are getting sick of trying to buy the 1 that ever comes in stock. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125871

This is pretty much the best advice on upgrading computers for 90% of users. It should go in the OP.

I've been rebuilding every 3 years but the last two cards I've gotten were a 760 and a 460. I'm getting a 1070 now but I've been told here that there's no need to upgrade the rest of my i5-4670k system.

I guess there wasn't much of a point in trying to learn how to OC my Gigabyte G1 1070.

Valley (Pre-OC)
FPS: 89.5
Score: 3745

Valley (Post-OC)
FPS: 90.9
Score: 3802

Here are the details of the OC:
Clock: 1595 -> 1700
Memory: 2002 -> 2292
Boost: 1785 -> 1890

Afterburner shows the clock at 2075 while running benchmark.

Your results are almost exactly like mine. Although I have not tested thoroughly yet. I can get +105 on clock and +300 memory boost. Not sure 100% if the memory is maxed or I can keep going. Going to +110 on core clock crashed Total Warhammer. Did you do anything to the voltage?

I put the slider all the way up in Afterburner which only increases or a tiny bit and I don't even think it helped with the core clock. In Afterburner my memory was at +580 so it seems weird that the memory only shows up at that ~300 boost in GPU-Z.

I was running Valley at Extreme HD which means it was at 1080p but on my 1440p monitor and my temps got up to 71 with fans at auto in which they reached 61%. I saw another guy on Reddit with pretty much the same overclock and the same score so I don't know how you got 145 fps.

Anyone with an overclocked 10xx or 9xx card have a problem in Overwatch where the whole screen get a yellow and then green tint? Doom has been running fine but I've lowered the core down for Overwatch without a fix. I saw others on Reddit mentioning it and one said he has to turn off the OC anytime he plays. Just Overwatch though.

Using Vulkan in DOOM is about 10 FPS lower for me.

All settings maxed plus Nightmare enabled
GTX 1070 @ 2075 MHz
368.69 drivers
i5 4670k (currently not OCd)
1440p 165Hz G-Sync

Is there a way to get MSI Afterburner to turn off an OC at the launch of a game? Overwatch doesn't accept any OC for some reason and it's really annoying to keep switching back and forth.

Oh and how does this On-Screen Display work? I have the Toggle hotkey set, but it does nothing when I press it.

New Doom on my 1070 was everything maxed out with 100+ fps at 1440p but Warzone is garbage. Most stuff at medium for ~80 or so.

I'm about to have a 20% off anything sold by Amazon coupon up to $1500 in cart because of our wedding registry. Does anyone know if Amazon sells GPUs directly? Right now the 2080S for example I just see 3rd party sellers.

These cards are PCIe 4.0 but they won't exceed the bandwidth of 3.0 right?

Also is my good 550W PSU going to be fine for a 3080? I just got it last year so I hope so.

Any more info on the need for PCIe 4.0 yet? Watched a video from HWUnboxed a few pages back and it sounds like it might only be needed for 4K? I got a B450 + 3600 last year and plan to get a 3080 so don't want to upgrade.

I'm hoping to see more info about PSU requirements too since I also got a new Supersonic G3 550W PSU last year. Needing to upgrade that would be annoying since PSUs have gone up in price and are selling out.

Unfortunately due to how fast these cards sell out. Nowinstock will rarely see it because their scraping intervals are way slower than the tools are people are using now. Discord channels are your best bet or use a browser addon from https://distill.io/.

I'm in the nowinstock discord. Any links to others? I imagine this is like asking someone for their secret fishing spot though.

Still don't see anything related to android pay. The payment method page just looked like the mobile version wrapped into the app, not native.
