i just got a 1060 and it 2.5x'd my passmark score and every game runs framecapped at full pretties on a 4670 this is possible because i'm a loving grandpa that has it driving two 20" dell 5:4's lmao

the 1060 6gb should drive 1440p at 60+FPS with highish settings, or 1080p at high FPS with high-ultra afaik you should certainly be able to max every slider on it

i want to get a real monitor but i am not getting rid of these 20's and so i need to bring a tape measure to microcenter and buy my monitor based on its vertical height so that everything lines up like a huge rear end matrix hacker display with the widescreen in center and the 20's flanking they still look really good and i cant bear to get rid of them, garbage res aside

yeah theres a couple games that will run under 60 on a 1060@ultra 1080p but usually it's like, turn AA/AF down one tick and blammo. It's such a good card for the money, especially with how easy it is to over clock GPUs to squeeze a little extra performance out of them

i built a new pc not long ago for the first time in 10 years and i got a 2070 because i was already spending a good chunk of money anyway. and also my job involves a lot of graphics programming so being able to gently caress around with whatever made it into the latest apis or nvidia extensions is useful. and i do some machine learning stuff too so why not lol if you're upgrading from anything even mildly recent though. spend that cash on a better hobby, ideally something that won't kill you long term. get a bike or some ski gear. hell, for 2k you can probably buy a full set of diving gear and that's gonna get you graphics that are way more impressive

I guess the problem is the cards are best at graphically intense standalone PC games, but developers don't want to make those kind of games anymore because they can make a ton more money with less graphically intense games that run on more computers that require playing on a server so they can have loot boxes and micro transactions. Or just not developing on the PC at all and only doing mobile. (Dungeon Keeper, Diablo, etc.) Standalone games that don't require playing on a server are usually pirated along with all their expansions and DLC so developers are sick of that as well.

These things might affect gpu prices A) the Bitcoin bubble B) memory pricing due to price fixing and artificial limiting of supply C) trump tariffs on electronics from China. it also had an affect on shipping costs when everyone rushed to ship stuff before the tariffs took place D) Nvidia only having 1 competitor: AMD until Intel recently said they would make discrete gpus E) Nvidia and AMD focusing on machine learning, Bitcoin mining instead of gaming F) AMD diverting manpower from PC gpu development to make custom SoCs for Playstation and Xbox Jon Pod Van Damm fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Jan 30, 2019 |

extremely slow incremental upgrades for comparision: the Geforce 256 DDR launched in Feb. 2000. The Geforce 2 GTS launched _the same year_. (Although it wasn't common until early 2001) 1 year = one generation is dead and has been for a while.

SRQ posted:extremely slow incremental upgrades the future sucks in other nvidia news i've been brushing up on the new dx12 raytracing api. there's a gems book for it being published openly soon https://developer.nvidia.com/books/raytracing/raytracing_gems_preview seems pretty straightforward, though when i last did graphics in college we juuust started to have shaders and they were all in assembly and were called pixel and vertex shaders instead of fragment shaders?? idk being able to use control flow and stuff in hlsl is much better than i remembered it.

echinopsis posted:https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/VGAEVG6163/EVGA-GeForce-GTX1060-Graphics-Card-6GB-GDDR5-SC-Ve that one you linked is overclocked, so it will draw a bit more power - the specs say it needs a 400w power supply, so just check the specs on your comp or read the label on the power supply (would need to open the pc). one with a lower clock would draw less power, but you'd still need a 300w or so regardless. a new power supply is only maybe $50 or so
