I'm just gonna say this...I been PC Gaming since 1997.

We all have different game taste and wants and needs.

Alot of people don't even use thier GPU's tech to its full potential.

There is so much more to just starting your common PC game and turning all the graphics sliders up.

When you start to dig deep into 3D,VR,DSR, heavy game texture,graphics mods like ENBs and Reshades you start to feel which 

companies tech is ideal for you.

Have some of you even looked into the Nvidia Control Panel or Nvidia Inspector's vast complex features???

There is so much tech that falls in the hands of an actual experienced game tweakers hands with Nvidia tech

For me Nvidia has given me the best PC gaming experience by far.

3d Vision

ShadowPlay

PhysX

DSR (Which works miracles)

These are things I just can't live without in PC Gaming.

The GTX 1080 has been my favorite GPU thus far.

When you have experienced GTAV in it's full DSR 4K 3D Vision glory come holla at me about AMD.

When you have experienced 90 FPS in Assetto Corsa Occulus Rift mode with 2.0 pixel density come holla at me about AMD.

I wish/hope AMD would compete at the high end. Better prices and performance for everybody from both sides

Intel is already having to respond to Ryzen

 

[sugafree]

I'm def copping the 1080Ti.

The person with the right price can buy my Founders Edition GTX 1080

 

[D Fly]

Which one of yall wanna give me your hand-me-downs?

If I get the 1080ti I might sell my 1070 for the cheap to one of yall

Really curious as to how 2 1070s would be like tho

SLI is a mess and too much of a headache for out of the box new PC titles.

I quit dealing with those configurations long ago.

Polaris rebrand as Radeon RX 500 series in about a month and Radeon RX Vega as 1070-1080-1080Ti competitor in May.

That said, on April 4th Radeon RX 580 and Radeon RX 570 will be available for sale. A week later, on April 11th AMD will unveil its Radeon RX 560 and Radeon RX 550 series. All cards, except RX 550, are most likely rebranded from Radeon RX 400 series.

AMD Radeon RX Vega will not be released in April, which somehow confirms our initial information, that Radeon 500 series are expected in May. So in other words, expect Radeon RX 500 rebrands in April and Vega a month or two later.

So this rebrand is probably just a slight bump over the previous gen 400 series right?

Discounts coming

I'm thinking about picking up the i7-6700k or 7700k and going iGPU until a good deal pops up.

So R7 looks to be a disappointment

*Looks at both my 1080s*

Ok.

 

[D Fly]

*Looks at both my 1080s*

Ok.

Yeah it was your post specifically that actually made me consider getting a 2nd 1070. 2 1080s sound insane

Has that setup given you any problems at all?

 

[kdslittlebro]

*Looks at both my 1080s*

Ok.

[kdslittlebro]

Haven't looked at much info yet but if I had to guess I'd take 700 for a 1080ti over 1000 for SLI 1080s

 

[sugafree]

Welp from what it looks like the reference 1080Ti card does not have a DVI port.

Looks like I gotta wait for another version of it to release because 3D Vision at 120hz display is a must for me

 

[iYen]

I paid $263 for an rx 480 and now the gtx 1080 is $500~ or even less on slickdeals.

Def not waiting on vega anymore. 

Then again, vega might be why nvidia's prices are more enticing than their last launch.

Still deciding on copping a ti or copping a 1080, then copping a ti later on.

 
nvidia gpus releasing left and right and we're still waiting for amd's vega.

I'll never buy an nvidia card unless I stumble upon 2k laying on the ground.

Stumbled upon 2k today.

 

[kdslittlebro]

I might go ahead and step my 1070 up 

 

[HNL HI]

didnt you just recently upgrade lol

 

[based mod]

Was originally gonna go for a decent i7 OC build, but I'm just gonna roll with a non-OC i5. Figured I don't need AAA gaming capabilities since I have a PS4 that I barely even play anyway. Gonna put this budget build in a HTPC case so it can retire in a few years from now to being a full-time HTPC.


Yall folks upgrading to the 1080 ti, holla at me
