What is the go-to video card now around $300-$400? Nvidia chipset..
-
TP4 you should have posted by now...what the heck....
-
no
if you're spending m0ar than $150 , get the 1080 (non-ti) for ~$450ish
don't buy anything in between, bad value
If you're spending $100-150, get the 1050 Ti, best card for general use, with 4k hevc hardware decoding support.
DO NOT buy the 1060 3GB,
DO NOT buy the 1060 6GB,

That's a lot of potatoes.....
Wonder if I can offload my 1060 and get a 1050Ti and profit....
-

The answer is, Don't spend $250..
This isn't just about performance/ dollar when you go over the $200 mark.
Because if you pay that amount, you're not going to upgrade for a WHILE..
So, that card has to last much longer than a $100-150 card.

1080 definitely, go big or go home.
Nvidia is lame tho

GRACIAS

it makes sense to get the 1060 if it was months and months ago.
but not at this point..
especially now that we know vega is going to be fine-wine situation like the 290x.

Which 1080 is "~$450"??

Which 1080 is "~$450"??
you gotta do some camping at slickdeals.net and setup a deal alert for 1080
just recently there was 1080 for $478
but the lowest in the past few month, we've seeeen $460 , maybe $450 as well,

If it's not 1440p or better, there is honestly no reason to spend $300-400 on a video card right now. I've got a 290x and I've been contemplating upgrading, but for it to be worthwhile I'd need to upgrade at least one of my monitors to 1440p or better, and then I'd probably have to upgrade CPU, which then means I'd need to upgrade mobo and RAM, and now I'm spending $1000+ more than I thought I was going to. 1050ti is definitely the best bang-for-your-buck right now with mining inflating the prices on AMD cards like the RX 570 or 580, but frankly, right now is a bad time to upgrade GPUs.

Depending on whether digi is just watching nuddie flix in 4k, or actually play games.
if he's just doing naughty internet things, then 1050ti is the way to go.
but ANY game, 1080p or otherwise, should be paired with 1080gtx, because pretty much all the games have high res shadow, lighting and ambient occlusion nowadays, these features take alot to render even at 1080p...

Hehe, i need it for both bad things and gaming. All things Cyber.
1070 is ~$450, good to go?

The 1070 is ridiculously overpriced right now due to mining. Definitely do not buy one new.
And supposedly the prices on 1080s are going to go up this month as well. This really is a bad time to buy a video card.
I agree with waateva, get a 1050ti or even a used 970 for around $170 IMO. Yes, some of the newest games will need you to turn down shadows or HBAO+ to maintain buttery smooth fps but for the most part the 970 is still a very capable card at 1080p and it's cheap AF.

did they ever fix that memory problem on the 970 ?
But overall, I don't recommend Any 9 series cards, because they don't have the full hardware hevc 4k capability for the new uhd blurays..
That's a big issue.

The memory "problem" was honestly overblown. Terrible marketing gimmick? Yes. Actual gameplay problem? Not really.
4k bluray compatibility is a problem for a very small number of people. If you want an easy, cheap upgrade right now it's the best option IMO. Definitely better than a 1050Ti if you're not afraid of used hardware.
As I said before, this is a really awful time to buy a video card.

the 4gb thing is not to be taken lightly, because it's a hardware design flaw which conflicted with many game engines.
When it was exposed, they knew that it was unfixable from the hardware/firmware side, So the speculative remedy of the time was through software..
Now, there are numerous problems to this, because software has ever changing upkeep.. Ontop of this ever persistent flaw, is the ever persistent Latency in response from Nvidia to tailor a fix for any new conflicting software or game.
So... in conclusion.. if you don't want to put up with a potential problem that simply CAN NOT BE FIXED... do not buy the 970..
The 3.5gb problem is known to introduce severe microstuttering and dpi-latency in many games, as the engine has problem addressing that phantom memory segment.

Typical tp4, spent a few minutes googling and is now an expert. :thumb:
This "problem" has been covered to death. Look it up yourself if you're really interested, OP, but I absolutely wouldn't hesitate to pick one up if it were an upgrade to my current card.
But I don't have time to argue a two year old issue with someone. =)

another vote for the GTX 1080... you will thank your self. I love mine special for 1080p gaming! There really no point to go bigger other then bragging rights. I got a Gigabyte GTX 1080 with GDDR5X and its simple a beast best bang for your buck! and I got mine at 600.

you need dual 1080 Ti for Diapr0

Really if you have a GTX 780 or higher you can run any non-vr game out there just fine. There's really truly no need for the Pascal series in today's modern gaming climate except to support gimmicks like 4k.

4k gaming is a gimmick..
4k Movies are not.
gtx 780 can't support 4k movies, it doesn't have full hardware acceleration of hevc.

Wtf you on about 4k for again? digi said he's got a ****ty 24 inch Dell monitor which I guarantee isn't 4k, so why does he need a video card to support 4k? Sure, he can buy a 1080 or even a 1080ti and not need to upgrade for awhile, but GPU prices are ****ing stupid right now, so giving yourself headroom at this point is a bad idea. Go cheap to max or near-max 1080p, or if you must, go big and upgrade your GPU, monitor, and probably other things while spend 2-3X what you set out to spend.

Hahahahahhaha
4K movies have 4:2:0 on the chroma, which means it's full 1080p chroma..
Which means UHD blurays downsampled will actually give you a Significantly more true to life 1080p experience vs standard 1080p blurays.
So the benefit is there, EVEN WITHOUT a 4K panel..
Now,, as for video settings.. if you buy something like a 1050Ti, that's basically the same performance level as a 7970 released in 2011, 6 years ago..
This is a bad place to be, because it will not be enough for ANY of the latest games coming out, it's outdated before you even buy it.
It can not support any of the latest competitive games at competitive framerates.
Now, you're gonna say something about 60hz and 60fps.
hahahaha
well, you're wrong again there, because Nvidia now has something called Fast-Sync.. It uncaps the engine frame rate, and only pulls the lastest triple buffered frame to draw on screen.
In many of the latest competitive games, Even on 60hz monitors there is a significant reduction in input latency and game response. This gives anyone playing a Substantial competitive edge..
This latency benefit is especially pronounced at approximately 400-500 fps which is possible with 1080ti using medium-high settings..
because your input timing window is ~ 4 to 6x expanded vs someone on the 1050ti using the same settings.
-
And on Price..
Nothing on the horizon is going to change the current price structure at least until middle of next year..
Vega is kind of slow (for now)
the Mining is irrelevant, because even if everyone dumped their mining cards right now, it's all rx 480 and 580
that won't change the price of the gtx 1080 which is the best card to get..
It may affect the price of the 1050Ti, but at the difference of $50, does that matter ? might as well buy it now if you're in for the 1050Ti.
But of course one shouldn't buy the 1050Ti if any amount of gaming is to be done, as it is simply 6 years old performance.

I'll be honest, but I wasn't fully aware that 4k to 1080p downsampling was as good as what it seems to be. TIL tp4!
That said, I think this is all going to boil down to what digi plans on doing now and in the future with this card. Not everyone is trying to play the newest games on max settings, and definitely not everyone is trying to play the latest competitive games at competitive framerates. If digi is just gonna be playing D3 and watching movies or various types ( ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) I don't think he needs to spend $450+ on a 1080, but if he wants headroom and might want to be playing a lot of newer games at high settings, it might be worth it. Personally, I think he's gonna have a helluva time finding a 1080 for $450 or even super close to that price, but GL with it!
That said, I've found that EVGA b-stock cards can come in at a good price and they do allow you to auto-notify so try checking here https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=8 (https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=8) or reddit buildapcsales here https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/)

We have definitely seen gtx 1080 for ~$460 in only the last 2 months.. So.. it's out there on slickdeals.net..
even for $478 most recently..
For user -Digi- in particular... well , he might be just watching naughty movies and playing diablo, or watching naughty movies WHILE watching his bot play diablo.. Don't know,
But, overall 1050Ti is just too far behind at this point.

Correct, and there was even a b-stock 1080 for $399 just over 3 months ago, but now the cheapest model for even b-stock is $519. Most of the super-cheap deals are sold out extremely quickly, so unless digi is sitting around and pounces on it right away, he's not gonna get it. And if $460 was a low in the last 2 months, and $478 is a low in the last couple weeks, I doubt that number is going to get lower so just under $500 will probably be the "new" low.
And sure, the 1050ti is behind and it's not gonna last 3-4 years, but if he wants to get something to last 9-12 months while playing everything at high-ish settings @ 1080p until the GPU market calms down, it would work fine and he wouldn't have to spend $200+ to do it. He could also sell the used 1050ti when done to at least make half of what he spent back, so the money still wouldn't be all lost.

Then you gotta nut up or shut up. Prepare to spend more and get a 1080, or settle and get a 1050ti or equivalent.

IMHO street fighter really requires 1080Ti, because the engine doesn't support MSAA..
So the only way to get good Antialiasing is through super sampling..
That requires major gpu ponies..

Yeah, "meta" scores are misleading. Just wish all the cryptomining wasn't influencing prices and making sales go out of stock so quickly! I'm slumming it with a 560 ti :(

1080 is ~ 15-20% faster than the 1070, @ precisely 15-20% more on price..
What a Concept. ??
That's the better deal.. because you get what you pay for.
Also, right there on that weird website you linked.. the first column says gtx 1080 is the #1 value..
so.. Tp4 engine has already predicted that result..
The 1070 pcbs are usually stripped down a bit on power delivery too.. not a huge problem, but this isn't exactly an engine you can fix later.

Damn son! I upgraded from my 550ti over two years ago when AMD was rolling out the 3xx series, still ran pretty good though!
Because of this thread I have a 1050 on the way!
I got the old card for free at Blizzcon in 2011, so I'm fine dropping $150 on the upgrade :p

I'm proud of you TP4 v2.0, so healthy, so stable, so full of fiber just waiting for his next poop.

Well whatever ya do don't run 970 SLI because I get issues all the freakin time with that setup. BUT it's SLI, so it's still faster than a 1080... maybe I dunno. Turns my room into a damn furnace though.

you don't know what a furnace is , back in my day, I had sli 7800gtx 512...
Then i got crossfire 4870 after that.. much cooler.. but still pretty furnace-ee

Do a lot games still support SLI?

OMG, I'm so maximum angry, because my downstairs computer can't run starcraft remastered
my upstairs computer haz the 7970, but downstairs, i only haz the 7870 myst, whcih only haz the 2gb ram.
You need 2.2gb ram to run the damn starcraft remastered, so i can't play that downstairs..

Hahahahahaha... Yea.. I've been red team since the 4870 days, and up to the 7970, I stopped holding onto cards after that, because I stopped playing any eye-candy games..
Although i did put a watercooler on my 7970 and heavily overclocked it just for agar.io.

I got pretty crazy ..
I created a clean agar.io partition with windows 7 and nothing else.
I turned off all windows startup services except network..

people playing competitive games used to do that before all the dual cores , quad cores, etc..

I've got a 1080 in the PC I built back in May and I think it's amazing but I came from a 2012 imac so I was pretty easily won over.
I have nothing to add really. I just wanted to join in.

are you using the 16x supersampling? there might even be one larger than this.. i remember there was some announcement about it a while back.
My old card only goes up to 8x ssaa for hearthstone..

So, it's back up on slickdeals newegg business ~$470 before tax

Your boy already copped one. Diablo 3 never looked so good. :D
Whoa, so I think I can actually get someone to buy my old 680 on ebay, people are really buying these video cards up eh?
-

Did you turn on the Super sample anti aliasing ?

It seems gtx 1080 can push over 300 fps on diablo 3, try out the -fast sync- as well.

Yeah so whats the deal on that? It looks better (smoother) when I enable V-Sync though..

V-sync is 1:1
Fastsync is 1+ : 1
with Vsync, the engine is running at 60 fps just like the 60 hz screen
with Fastsync, the engine is running at Max ~300fps, and only draws the Latest frames onto the 60hz screen.
Fastsync, offers significantly reduced input latency, and more up to date frames.
It does require that the engine be at around 2.5x and above the monitor's refresh rate though.
I'm not sure if Supersampling would drop the frame rate too low for the fast sync to be effective..
What is your uncapped frame rate with just Super sampling.
-
I don't see an option for "Fastsync" in the game. I'm unsure if D3 even supports it, but thats good to know.

first uncap the frame rate in diablo 3 menu where it says max foreground fps, uncheck that,
Then turn off vsync.
Then go into nvidia profile inspector, find diablo 3, and look for the fast-sync option.

5:07 tells you how to enable fast sync
-
Ooo, Imma try that, thanks!
-
So apparently Diablo doesn't like fast-sync. Made it worst TBH. Just went back to v-sync and 60 fps, locked and smooth.

what was the frame rate with vsync off, no fast sync
-
Like 160-180 with everything turnt up for what..

Hrrrmm
Turn the antialiasing down a bit until you see ~300 fps..
Then turn on fast-sync, see if that makes a difference.

Pretty good deal...
