tempted, but I have an expensive G-sync monitor, so I'll probably be getting a 2070 super instead.

Youre not getting it however. Graphics havent improved at all and every single frame you blow money on goes to technical debt instead of graphics. Best looking game on the market, Battlefront 2 runs on 960 with 60 FPS/ultra settings and is 2 years old.

Don't see a reason to upgrade from my 1070 yet (I'm still at 1080/60). The new Ryzen lineup is very tempting though, that 3700x has some crazy performance.

Yeah, if you have a 1070/1080/1080ti there is zero reason to upgrade unless you plan on playing at 4k.

And even if you have a 570/580/1060 there is very little reason to upgrade if you are just gonna keep playing at 1080p.

They were selling them on Amazon for $160. I grabbed one myself last month. I wouldnt pay more than that if I were you or just go cheaper with a 580 if you stick with 1080p gaming.

Staples recently had the asus and msi 2080 for $400 and the ti for $780. Graphic cards going cheaper if you want to hold out.

post the version with pubes

How exactly is Sony going to implement that when the next iteration of Navi is still on the drawing board? The GPU in the ps5 will be based on the current generation of Navi, which is the 5700, 5700xt and Radeon 7.

Yes. In fact AMD is arguably better now.

the price of 5700 xt is higher than its predecessor. bad decision. oh well, AMD fanbois are falling for this meme becuase they are too stupid as fuck.

Yeah, AMD got rid of the garbage catalyst control center(and gaming evolved) and replaced it with the far superior radeon settings.

still about 10% in games that aren't specifically made to be better on AMD, where they're about equal.

this. i know it's not the same, but i got an rx580 8gb for $250 last year. i get that nvidia is in higher demand, but come on.

GPUs are designed to last 3 years. This is done by changing the way they calculate shit every generation.

If you get more than 3 years life from it, good for you. Your 3+yo card is still obsolete by design and shit in any new game because it can't run calculations in the new format.

Ok.

your GPU can already run games at max at 1080p 60fps, so there's zero point getting a better graphics card without upgrading your monitor first.

Drivers are fine, but they're still worse than Nvidia drivers when launched.

Not buggy, just less optimized. Generally 1-2 year after release and AMD cards get performance boosts due to better drivers.

It'll last a few years longer than any AMD card too.

>Witcher 3

You know The Witcher 3 has Nvidia's GameWorks, right?

The fact that the radeon 7 could do tie with a 1080ti in a gameworks title is impressive.

Well until I upgrade my monitor, I can use 4K SSAA to 1080p.

AMD dropped GCN for RDNA. A lot of the "fine wine" comes from 290 to the 580 has all been based on GCN architecture. So expect all GCN cards to lose support (just like all TeraScale based cards got dropped support during that time) and all RDNA cards to get better over time.

Thats a gameworks exclusive space invader minigame.

A lot of people forget that these expensive parts are also used for things like video editing and rendering, and many more resource intensive things besides vidya. If someone is looking to only play vidya, and if they're like you and they're not interested in current games, they can get by on cheaper, mid range hardware.

about same. maybe there is a tiny improvement.
My friend is not happy with his Vega 64 because he has to find the right driver to run the old game, and then revert the another right driver to play the selected old games. I experienced it before. It was bullshit, so I pay an extra premium for Nvidia. This helps me not to deal with that AMD bullshits. The nvidia is all about "... it just werks..." I can play all games (old and new) no problem.

user, mining has negligible effects on GPU's. You'd upgrade way before you'd ever be confronted with the effects of use.

buttcoin mining on GPUs is dead anyway and has been for some time. Only reason the prices are still high is because nvidia are a bunch of kikes and are trying to gaslight people into thinking that the ballooned bitcoin-mania-era prices are the new standard rather than a passing disruption.

Not everything you can't afford is a meme.

The game ran at almost the exact same FPS maxxed out as it did with all settings at minimum, the only thing that would elicit an FPS decrease was downscaling the resolution. I dunno what the hell is up with the Dragon Engine.

True, but raytracing certainly is a meme, at least right now in its current form.
This reminds me of the early 2010s and how everyone was claiming physx was going to be the big new thing, lel

>forza horizon 4

You'd need more than a 1660ti for 1440p at 144hz. A vega 56/1070ti is the minimum.

My nigga. Same card. Boss price matched some weird website for 200.
Cant complain.

cope harder

You're sure you're not using supersampling the game aka downsampling from 3840x2160 to 1920x1080, or worse from 8k to 4k like some reviewers did.

At this die size it's likely about $30 more expensive to manufacture than a Polaris card. They aren't selling at a loss by a long shot. The only thing they did was move their margins up significantly. Here's a video if you want to understand the price fixing Nvidia and AMD have been engaging in since 2011.

is this real?

What does "move their margins up significantly" mean? And don't bully me.

Damn, and that would probably only last a short time before needing to upgrade again after the next-gen-equivalent games start coming out.

In that case I'll probably still stick with getting a 1660ti, but hold off on considering upgrading from 1080p/60hz (which is still perfectly acceptable to me, tbqh). Maybe I'll upgrade the GPU and get a better monitor a few years later after prices have gone down.

A margin is cost of manufacture compared to MSRP. Cards like RX 480 had a fairly low margin. 5700 as the true successor to Polaris has a much higher margin as the manufacture cost is similar to Polaris and will only get better depending on yields but the price is much higher.

Maybe look into getting a 1080p 144hz-240hz monitor if you really do want to get into high refresh rate gaming without breaking the bank.

>you could have two pieces of useless garbage for the price of a graphics card
Very impressive.

whats the card?

1080 ti came out 2 years ago.

Why are we pretending like the 1080ti performance is nothing nowadays? It was Nvidia's flagship gaming GPU. AMD matching that card with a new architecture and low power consumption is a pretty good sign.

The problem there is it would still just feel like a stepping stone, so it wouldn't be worth it because some time after that I'd still want to upgrade to 1440p/144hz, meaning I'd be buying 2 expensive monitors over that time period. Sort of like people who upgraded to 720p and then again to 1080p instead of just getting the 1080p and not wasting money on the 720p middleman.

Fuck. I 've been on a 1070 since it came out. When the fuck will we see cards that double performances again without doubling cost? Maxwell and pascal.

>ati

into the trash it goes

6-18 months after PS5 launch is the earliest you can expect any form of "competition" to return to the GPU sector and it's probably going to consist of big navi 7nm house fires and more RTX fuckery.

Have that exact GPU. It's as good as a GTX1070, but not better and in some cases worse. Still a solid GPU. I bought mines for $190 a couple of months ago.

In fairness 0 was meant to be played on PS3s and ported to powerful hardware later. Dragon Engine though is very demanding on CPUs I assume, especially the PS4's, really makes me wonder how the PS5 could handle it.

Meanwhile they sell sony the 5700 xt for $100, were getting ripped off

nvidia & amd being greedi is gonna hurt pc gaming

Here's the part that stings even more. Navi's RND was pretty much paid for by Sony in the first place and they aren't going to need to premium silicon due to needing to run lower clocks and temps because of the form factor. AMD is shitting all over the mid and low range market that kept it afloat alone.

>Meanwhile they sell sony the 5700 xt for $100
Considering the state of Navi TDP and thermals, the PS5/Xbox Deuce may not even have RX 5700 tier GPUs.

More interested in the new Ryzens. Already made the dummy purchase for a 2060 XC

Which card to upgrade to?

Attached: rig specs.png (485x161, 10K)

You have to keep in mind that Nvidia and AMD have a duopoly are and are currently cooperating with price-fixing, which is illegal, although nothing will ever be done about it. So they work together and agree not to compete on price, so that both their prices remain high and we get fucked over.

And that's also why they're able to give really good deals outside the standard market to players like sony.

get a cheap rx 570 with that build if you have that slowpoke 1080 60hz monitor

Already got a Win 10 key, just used Win 7 for now because a friend had a disk from work. Would a RX570 run the Xbox game pass well?

the card is twice as fast as your 750ti

Pre-ordered last Christmas for £250 with the triple game bundle so well worth the price for performance. As long as your processor isn't shaft and you've got decent amount of ram you can max any game at 60fps.

indeed it is. Especially on consoles where people are falling for the meme even harder and getting excited for their silky smooth 4k,30fps experience, 4k is just pissing away your money and processing power, especially if you don't sit with your eyeball glued to the screen. Much better use of that extra power to pursue better framerates instead.

Not just that, but they're matching Turing's IPC now - all while on a much smaller die. Thermals are still somewhat of a problem, but if they wanted, they could pretty much build a nuclear reactor like the R7 again and compete with the 2080Ti now.

zoomy boy

4k 30fps is not the way to play games on PC right now
get a proper 1440p 144hz monitor
4k screens are laggy and pushing that many pixels will tank for fps most GPUs struggle at that resolution

>4k 144fps
2 years at least

No CPU nor GPU can run any current AAA games at 4K144.

>unironically defending playing at 4k with massive framerate dips
toplel, m8. This is exactly what I'd expect from the sort of brainlet who chooses 4k/60hz over 1440p/144hz

Pretty sure if a CPU can do 144hz at all then it can do 4k 144hz

2080ti Super NVlink might do that.

GPUs alone would probably cost you $2400.

I would but apparently windoze can't handle multi Hz environments

JUST FUCKING BUY IT

Not necessarily. 1440p144 is less demanding on the CPU than 4k144. It's not linear scaling and eventually the GPU bottleneck outstrips the CPU one, but higher res still means the CPU has to process more instructions for the GPU due to how APIs work. Vulkan theoretically should help with that but lol. Rarely does.

Not to mention some older games will never run properly at those framerates at all due to poor threading.

*WHIRRRRR*

Not again! Help me AMD!

Trump smacking Chyna with tariffs probably didn't help with that also.
AMD moved all of their production to Taiwan which is probably the smart thing to do long term.

I think prices will come down in general after the new consoles are released.

Somebody shill me a card. I’ve been on a laptop for years and I want something cutting edge for once. I’m willing to wait up to 3 months but not more or it’s gona be an eternal game of always waiting for the next big thing while I could be enjoying current stuff now.
What card should you buy now with unlimited budget but that actually deserves its price?

1080ti

2080Ti seems like it's gonna be around the top for a while

i have a 970 and an i5 and a 4k monitor and i can confirm that this is complete BS

1080Ti if you can find it from a trusted reseller

Alternatively wait for an RX 5700XT with a partner cooler

Everything above that is diminishing returns.

You can get a lot of mileage out of even a 1660 if you're willing to cut back on effects

What card should you buy now with unlimited budget but that actually deserves its price?

Right now no card deserves its price.

Im waiting to see the RX 5700 XT partner cards.

I bought a 1070ti about a year ago and I got no complaints

Is there a really big secret sauce that you get by buying things like “Black Edition” “Galax” etc? What about EVGA vs Nvidia vs somebody else? Fuck I’m confused.

What's the issue? It's the 2080 ti that has more than 8 GB.

Attached: prices for 5700XT.jpg (666x174, 58K)

Nvidia had RTX at least, fuck amd

Why do people fan service technology that's multiple generations away from being practical and that almost nothing is capable of using? You're paying for a glorified tech demo. Just offer high power cards without the gimmicks.

I'm just waiting for an affordable card that can do 1440p 144fps on most games

2070S is just as good as 1080Ti.

If you can find a 1080Ti for 400, go for it. Else get a 2070S or RX 5700XT.

I guess you can't read? That's exactly what I said. Every new major arch revision they drop the last and honestly it's a much better way to go about it than Nvidia switching archs almost every gen.

RTX is pretty gimmicky, 4k not so much. 4k really just makes games look sharper, plus you notice things you didn't before.

fuck sake just tell me why I would want a RX 5700 XT over 2060S/2070S when gamers nexus and LTT's benchmarks pretty much showed they're similar in performance you fucking boomers

Nvidia has RTX because they want tensor cores for their data centers. Nothing else. You're buying binned GPUs that weren't good enough to sell for the cloud. There's no practical use at all for them gaming wise at all for how many cores they have.

you dont care about ray tracing and want something that a better value. AMD gpus usually have better long term support

It's $100 cheaper? Also

how "long term support" are we talking because I want this thing to last 5 years at most

youtube.com/watch?v=Ud8Bco0dk6Q

it's unironically trash cooling implementation

It's slightly weaker than a 1070 but will do the job. This is a dooky gpu gen in general unless you GOTTA upgrade.

Can you really blame them after vega?

Don't expect the same from the Navi cards, part of the Fine Wine meme is due to GCN being much more convoluted and AMD having a paltry software/driver staff compared to NVidia. AMD relies on developers optimizing for their cards, hence they let people know how their architecture works. Nvidia keeps it a secret and optimizes for games with its huge driver staff. If you buy NVidia, you buy a black box to which only NVidia has the key.

Because it's cheaper than the 2070S and faster than the equally priced 2060S. Unless you're interested in the excellent Nvidia video encode stuff, AMD's feature set is more practical for gaming. Their new sharpening filter looks better than DLSS and has less of a hit on performance.

AMD's blower coolers have always been hot garbage that tarnishes the reputation before the real cards hit shelves. I don't understand why they keep doing it.

I mean the drivers will improve with time not anything with hardware

>AMD having a paltry software/driver staff compared to NVidia.

I don't think this is as much of the case as it used to be. Crimson looks and feels like something from this era while Nvidia CP is stuck in XP and takes a century to load in comparison. You also see far more AMD driver optimizations gaming wise as well.

lads, i have a 24' monitor w/ gsync and can go up to 1440. is the resolution a meme at that point?

no I asked for a gf a few months ago

>they literally cut a part of the cooler off to make space for that dent

I genuinely do not care about the encoder stuff since I don't stream and don't use any fancy software to record/edit videos. In the end I plan to either use relive or shadowplay, and only casually convert raw to webm using ffmpeg
not often enough to care but I do use upscaling with madvr (if I'm ever not lazy enough then maybe mpv in the future) but I only actually rely on upscaling content maybe once or twice a month to my 4K TV. this is the only time I actually use my 4K TV on my PC, it never gets plugged in outside of that since I have consoles to couch game on
I also do VR with original Vive but it seems the games I play on it are unity based anyway

Damn I might buy a 2nd 1080 ti

The thing is, the games where AMD really shines (like Forza Horizon 4, where the 5700XT ties with the 2080Ti; or Battlefield V) are built on engines that have benefited from console optimization. NVidia dominates in machine learning and PC consumer hardware, but AMD is big in the console and server market.

Navi will get a boost once PS5/Scarlett come out. As will Ryzen 3. And Stadia, too.

>1080p/60fps
I want to game at 4k 120fps.

forgot to add I have zero interest in ray tracing until it's at a comfortable non-meme state, I really don't want to purchase a used card either
all of this is what's really making me decide what GPU I get this year

Get a RX 5700XT with a partner cooler in a few months.

It'll benefit from a lot of games being optimized for it due to PS5/Scarlett/Stadia using the same architecture.

Why isn't there a RTX 2070 Supreme?

Bad idea. You want two cards that are virtually identical (same partner card) and even then it doesn't always scale well.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if it is
EVGA cutting corners by using the same fans on pretty much the same product would make a lot of sense

More like RTX 2070s performance for 400$

What do I need in order to play Monster Hunter World at maximum at 1440p and 144hz?

I gladly pay for the 144hz, the 960 is a 50$ GPU and it's a fine card. Some of us aren't living in 2013 tho

2060S is a stupid card
2070S is a decent choice but that's a $500 card
RX 5700 XT is about 5-7% slower than 2070S at $400

Pros for 2070S:
-You get to play around with ray tracing (lite) in tech demos
-Specific Nvidia features maybe
-Resale value

Pros for RX 5700 XT
-Better long term drivers support
-$100 cheaper
-FreeSync/Image Sharpening/Anti Lag/whatever features they have I don't pay much attention to AMD

The latest craze is "deflationary" tokens, which are minted with a fixed supply and a certain % of coins are destroyed each transaction.

Cope poorfags 4K is beautiful if you can't hit 60 on a GTX 1070 then turn the settings down 4K Medium looks better than 1440p Ultra. I agree if you're on a 27 inch monitor like some chink then you probably wont see it much benefits but I got a 1440p 144hz G Sync and a 60Hz 4K TV. Sometimes I want more frames in like CSGO or sometimes I want the better resolution to see people very far away in Arma 3. It's all preference and once 4K 120 becomes more affordable my 1080ti will give me a great time at 4K med to high. The 980ti from 2015 was sold as a 4k card. It's almost 2020 great over yourself it's not "wasted processing" by that logic a very nice Ultrawide would also be a waste of processing power

You meant 1080.

It's also obvious when you look at the first page of CMC

i was considering the move to 144hz when i upgrade to 1440p from 1080p60
should i stay ignorant of glorious high fps and settle for 1440p60?

So you're telling me with the PS5 coming out in less than 2 years and the dev kits are going to be out in the wild soon, you honestly think there's time for a new RDNA revision? This is how you know Yea Forums just talks out of their ass.

Motherfucker last time we had 980 ti performance for 499 in the 1070
Stop bitching

Go for the higher FPS it's so nice even if you're staying at 1080p

Consoledrones are embarrassing to watch.

The architectures will be similar and it may well be a transitional, custom architecture halfway between Navi 10 and 20, just like PS4 Pro was still basically Polaris with some Vega features. AMD's raytracing patent could be added even to Navi in its current state, since much of it relies on software shaders that can run on any card.

Either way, we don't fully know how raytracing will be implemented on those consoles. It'll take up more space on the die, i.e. it'll mean less compute units. Still, AMD *in general* benefits from console optimization even across architectures, as shown by Forza and Battlefield. Not to mention Navi 20 will be very similar to Navi 10.

So what do you play on these 1000+ USD machines? Just curious to see if its actually worth the investment

1070 had an MSRP of 379$

I can't tell the difference with my 144hz but I might have bad eyes
I think the best investment you can make is Freesync/G-Sync, you'll never have to suffer Vsync ever again.

You sound like a person cursed to speak the truth while no one else listens or believes it.

retarded "enthusiasts" have already accepted the new pricepoint. why lower it? shit will sell regardless.

I bought EVGA 2070S for $530 from B&H jews for my brothers pc.

Serious Sam 2, GTA 4, Painkiller Overdose and Max Panye all at glorious 4K if 8K becomes more affordable I won't have to do anything but a monitor swap (to atleast play the the best) I also play other things like Insurgency SS. It's better than the next gen consoles and I've been doing it since 2015 now

Xbox 360 had unified shaders a year before PC GPU's did

2080ti.

Not worth it

>can't overclock new ryzens
Lmfao

But it's monster hunter tho, if the nigga can afford it it's worth every penny, I have a 1080ti and if I had 30% more GPU power than now I'd nut

I know the truth firsthand because I was one of the lucky few to make a large amount of money from the shitcoins that were all the rage on /biz/ in Dec 2017.
The only people on /biz/ I've seen shilling crypto mining on /biz/ are the 0xBitcoin pajeets who thought that having a worse copy of Bitcoin/Ethereum that costs twice as much energy to mine would be a good selling point.

That was a different time with much lower power draws and heat production. A 5700 XT alone draws almost twice the power of an Xbox One X under heavy load. That's unfeasible on a system on a chip sitting on top of the CPU. Part of why the X is so expensive is because of its vapor chamber cooler.

For that reason alone, Scarlett and PS4 will have lower clocks and less compute units than dedicated PC graphics cards at the same time. If you waste more die space on raytracing hardware, the performance differential increases even more.

Yeah and that was then. Things have changed.

Both Snoy and MS said it' RDNA in their announcements.

A hardware raytracing solution does not mean a new architecture. It may even differ between consoles, since Microsoft owns the DXR API and has implemented aspects of DX12 on a hardware level in the X, which they may do again to lock Snoy out of some performance from the way raytracing is supported in all current engines.

Upscaled 4K is a gimmick, but actual native 4K is the least gimmicky thing there is. It's a straight upgrade over 2K/1080p.

When you start getting into 8K+ territory you get diminishing returns though, because the pixel density becomes so high your eyes can't tell the difference during normal use anyway.

I really fucking pray we get rained with EMPs and the whole fucking things burns down. We need a hard reset.

Are you saying we need a... reset era?

Why would anyone want to buy 2080Ti?It's retardedly expensive and you only get benefits if you are playing on 4K or 1440p 144hz, which are all memes not worth the money today if you ask anyone sane.

We've come too far, we have to go back.

My monitor is 1440p 165hz and I was gifted a 3700x so I want to fully utilize what I have so far. Also I intend to play cyberpunk. Would a 2070 super suffice or just wait for 2080s and see benchmarks? I don’t think I have the patience to wait.

I would buy a used 1070Ti and wait for pascal/maxwell prices to retunr.

Might want to consider a Gsync monitor, especially with the 2070S. It makes a huge difference in terms of smoothness and response if you can't lock to 60/144hz perfectly.

Then again, that's Nvidia tax times two. A 5700XT with a freesync monitor will deliver similar 1440p results for at least 200$ less.

Always pair your gpu and monitor. Anything else is retarded.

When is the fucking release date for 2080s?

Don't build an enthusiast grade PC then and get a a better job. Walmart pays 11$ an hour and don't drug test. My 1080ti is still worth it and I could've just been a piss ant and bought a 1070 for like 200$ less and got some cocaine instead but I decided to go 1 week clean and buy a better GPU. Was it worth it? Yes the 1070 was made obsolete by the 1660 ti where as the nvidia replacement for the 1080ti is still like 700$

Nice AI Nvidia, you hit it out of the park

We’ll probably hear something next week

>new gpu prices are fucked
>but it doesn't matter because new games are shit anyway

it all works out in the end, boys

sharp upscaling and antilag are killer features. Problem is that they are not super secret Area 51 tech. Nvidia can copy them if Nvidia is willing to get off their high horse and admit that DLSS is the wrong approach

They won't do that. It's how they managed to mark up binned machine learning cards in the first place, Tensor cores have no viable gaming applications and DLSS is the fig leaf for that.

What would you guys say is the best "performance/fuck pretty graphics" card for 2019-2020?

This, no reason to buy a GPU better than 1060 6GB at the time.

The Gigabyte GV-RX560 is a moderate general performance gfx card, it'll play most modern "good" games at medium - high at 60 fps, the fan is alright and it's pretty efficient in power consumption, pretty good for ~$105
