Suggestions on New Graphics card, Whatchu thinking?
    #23891849 - 12/03/16 07:54 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Whats good pube?  pubic hair


Lets talk Graphics cards ^^



I'm going to be getting a large chunk of change back soon,  I lent it out to a good friend of mine... Thinking about spoiling myself with a new GPU :nyan:

I've been using the GTX 770, I've had it for about 2 1/2 years now, and its going strong. I cant really complain, but I like to game and I rarely go out and buy crap just for me-that's not essential so what the hell I kinda wanna invest in a new card :shrug:


Current Rig 8:::::::::::D - - - <(x o)> 
Case

PSU

Graphics Card

CPU

Rammstein :rockon:

Cooling System
Mobo

The GPU listed isnt the exact card I got, but its close. Iv got the GTX 770 4GB instead of the 2gb thats listed, but whatever that's irrelevent. 

So like, I don't know if I want to go ham and get the gtx 1080, it's almost 1000$-  Go
Or the GTX 1060 which seems to be reasonably priced 324.99 
Go

Im not entirely educated in what makes one GPU better then the other, I think Cuda Cores and total memory has something to do with it    :ancientaliens:

When I look at these specs side by side:

GTX 770:  Coreclock 1111MHz/ Boost 1163 MHz core and base same thing? CUDA Cores 1536
GTX 1060: Base 1506/boost 1708MHz CUDA Cores  I duno? Sources said less then my current card, dont know if correct.
GTX 1080: Base 1607/boost 1835 CUDA Cores ??

I duno, I found conflicting info on the amount of Cuda Cores, again I duno if it even matters but whatever.

Does anyone actually know enough about Gpu's that they could explain to me what makes a given card superior other than price.

When comparing The GTX 1060 to the 1080// It is far cheaper.The  1080 is double the price, but is it justified?
How much more performance does the 1080 (Which is double in price) get compared to the 1060.

The 1060 costs less then my 770, although they don't manufacture mine anymore which is understandable seeing how its at least 3 years older.. does the 1060 out perform my 770?  I would expect it too.

Almost forgot, heres the links to each card I'm looking at:
1060
1080

I pretty much want a card, that my rig can handle and that outperforms my current card. Im open to other cards as well, I know I have to account for space, PowerSupply, ect.

I kinda would like to spend somewhere around the 600$ or less area but I'm getting enough back that the cap could be 1000$

I also have two HDD's and one SSD, something I guess to take into account regarding Powersupply, although I think I'll be ok anyways.

Honestly, any graphics card that sells for $600 new is gunna be dope as fuck.

The higher the price, typically the better the performance.

Mescaline then marijuana aka Mescajuana is what u need (if we are talking about THIS real-time simulation called life).

I think I'm going to go with NVIDIAS 3rd-I-FX with a googleplex Ghz video-processor. I hear it works directly off shared pineal-gland DDR RAM.

1080 should be like 699/700 something don't pay almost 1K.
What you need depends on how you're gonna use it.
4K? Dual monitors? SLI?

1080 if you can afford it
1070 if you want roughly the same performance for a lot less

Yeah im looking right now and kinda leaning towards the 1070, I can pick it up from newegg.ca for about $570 

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487248


I've got dual monitors but when I game I only use it on one.
I would like to run BF1 on ultra if I could, pretty much want a card that could do that.

OK, here's my two picks.

1070
  http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487248&ignorebbr=1&_ga=1.54876139.131428430.1468618710 ;

1080
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487244&cm_re=evga_gtx_1080-_-14-487-244-_-Product


Shroomism I know you already answered my question, I've compared both specs. I just need some advice because if I'm understanding correctly what makes which card better then your correct when you say the 1080 slightly outperforms the 1070, big difference here is the $$$.

Both cards are GDDR5... 1080 is GDDR5X which I assume is alright.

Memory bandwidth 320 GB/s versus 256.3 GB/s      ---- 1080 wins
CUDA Cores 1920 VS 2560 ----- 1080 wins
Base clock/Boost clock    1594 MHz/1784 MHz  1708 MHz/1847MHz    1080 wins

So I mean now I'm looking at price.    $569.99 vs $839.00

I know either card works with my MOBO,PSU, fits inside my case for sure. I assume my CPU can handle it, but I will double check after.

I have the extra money, buddy owes me almost 4k, and Im getting back 1k so I can pick and choose here.

I just wanna know if its worth getting the 1080, money wise that is. I assume for the extra $250 or so it is, but again I'm not entirly sure here.

I was seeing 1070's about 400$ last I looked... you might wanna shop a little harder :shrug:

Yeah man it sucks, like even games now that used to be 60$ like AAA titles are always 80$.

I usually dont buy games anymore upon release though, far to many these days are BS upon release.

Can anyone confirm my Power Supply is ok to handle the 1080?

I duno if I'm thinking to far into this I mean the specs say 1080 needs 500W or greater, which my PSU is 860W so thats all good, however I read somewhere that Its important to note how many amps does it supply on the 12V rails. And I Cant find that info, or I don't understand it when I look at my PSU link. I don't know If Missing something here or what, I mean if I had to take the chance I'm pretty sure my PSU is fine I just wanna make sure though. I'll keep looking but if anyone knows off hand and could chime in that would be cool.

PSU has 71amps on the +12v rail, more than enough power for what you need.
Seasonic also makes some of the highest quality PSUs on the market and that's a platinum rated top tier PSU. You're fine.

In fact with your PSU, you could even run 2x 1080s in SLI with no problem.
The TDP (max power usage) of the 1080 is 180W. When it says requires 500W, that's just the total power requirements for the card in the average system, including everything else.
But that's a waste, don't do that :P One card is fine

Ah interesting, Yeah I've considered running two cards before; but that was on the assumption that that would give me double the performance, and it seems that isnt the case, ever.

I think I'm gonna be quite happy with the 1080 :superbanana:

the nice thing about buying the top end card now, is that it kinda "future proofs" yourself, making your card last longer till its "absolete".

Cant imagine the Titan X becoming obsolete, but with time, all tech does :shrug:

Yeah no doubt hey?
I mean I'm not rich, but I can definatly pay that card off in a month from now and I really was considering getting the 1070 which is a couple hundred less.
I also don't see myself needing to upgrade from the 1080 anytime soon, so what the hell, may as well go ham and get it.

Iv got two 24 inch monitors, one asus vg248 and the other is a benQ gl2460 i think? I duno. If  I were to upgrade I probably would do it a few months from now but as of right now, I'm ok with them.
I dont normaly buy a lot of stuff, outside of food and video games occasionaly for myself. Books and coffee are normally my splurg purchases LOL

Not going to lie, I was hovering over the confirm order button for about 5 minutes before I clicked it LOL.

good enough for me!

I love my coffee too, so damn tasty. frozen ones my favorite.

I would be hesitant to buy that card too its a BIG investment. Hope its not a DOA card. That would suck....

Yeah man, definatly would suck for sure. I'm holding onto my current card for awhile after; just incase it does arrive DEAD. I'm trying to make up my mind if I should sell the 770, or keep it for a spare :nyan:

Keep the 770 as a spare.

Be aware of early adopter woes. A couple months from now... a better graphics card will come out. Don't be one of those guys getting all buyers remorse 3 months later just because something better comes out.. that's just the nature of the tech game. Be happy with the 1080 :laugh: That thing is a fucking MONSTER. That thing will destroy games for years to come.


And yeah SLI is pretty much, a total waste unless you are pushing for like world record benchmarks scores and shit. For the average person it's a total waste of money.
Back in the day with 8800GTX cards and shit, yeah it was awesome.. but it still had its issues. Micro-stuttering out the ass.
1080 is like 7 generations of cards later, thing is a fucking supercar already, the 8800GTX is like a pinto in comparison.
With 2x cards in SLI, you MIGHT get around a 30-50% performance gain compared to a single card.
Then with SLI you get diminishing returns, so add a 3rd card yields like a 20% gain, 4th card like 10%..
And then that's only in games that support SLI, which not all games do.
i.e not worth it for the average person unless you are just swimming in money

yah, i saw specs on crossfire and the gains of crossfire were not double. More like 1.5x at best.

But it did make it more cost effective for mid-level gaming.

But for high end, might as well get a monster like the Titan X or the Ati FirePro S10000.

You're going to love the 1080! I just built my PC and got a EVGA 1080 FTW. Thing is awesome.
