That chip is like 80W, your PSU will be fine

THX for reply ! :3

It'll be fine, PSU doesn't lose power over time. Also GTX 1070 doesn't require 500W, whole system will require that though

I know that TDP of 1070 is 150W , currenty have 960 which TDP is 120W, Iam using a Xeon E3-1270 V3 (I7 4770 equivalent).

Hi,

I posted a topic , if i should buy gtx 980 Ti or gtx 1070 , so i settled for 1070.

But my point is, i have Cooler Master G550M 550W. It has 80Plus Bronze Certification.

PSU is pretty old and i dont know if by time , PSUs lose theirs power.

Requirements of the GTX 1070 is 500W. ( I am buying the EVGA SC2 version)

So my question is, will it be enough ?

Both the prices seem absurdly high, you could get something like https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126116&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=gtx_1080_strix-_-14-126-116-_-Product for 550 dollars.

Well, i know, but i'm from Czech Republic, so yeah...

In descending order of performance:

• Lightning
• Jetstream
• Phoenix
• Gaming 6G
• Matrix

Matrix is to loud at stock but runs cools so you can dial back the fans peed. The ACX is to loud, the AMP so we'll built but takes to much power and is loud. IDK if you could undervolt it do run cool. I would try it if I own one but I don't. Inno3D has built the VRM roaster, Strix is loud and Classified is obnoxiously loud. Source is the German hardware magazine PCGH - PCGames Hardware, volume 2015/9 and 2015/2 or the overview in the back you can seen in all following volumes before the 1080 released. 

Alright, definitely consider it when buying new GPU, thanks !

Just now, GER_T4IGA said:

980 To Strix was not to good. 980 was great, best in class but 980 To not so much. 

Well , which cooler do you suggest ? AMP! ? Or Evga ?

I doubt a used card has as much warranty coverage(time) as a brand new one 

Agree, some cards dont have warranty at all. Definitely something to consider.

I your staying at 1080p and saving cash, what does a new 1060 3GB or 6GB card cost. That would be my choice if it's significantly cheaper.

Yeah yeah, i was thinking same. And will definitely go for it, if my budget wont be so high. I Always say to myself, if the product isnt at least twice as fast, its not worth for upgrade. And 1060 is not twice as fast as 960, but 980 ti or 1070 is. Consider that i was upgrading from 750 Ti to 960.

Just now, Pohernori said:

Well.... Performance of those 2 cards don't differ even when overclocked so... 

 

If electricity is a problem in your area, definitely avoid the 980 Ti. 

The other thing is to work out whether you want that warranty. 

Electricity is not a big issued i think.

Warranty ? What do you mean by that ?

The 960 idea how much power? 120 watts? 

Objectively the cooler is cheap trash. Just look at a tear down. 2 heatpipes are not enough for 250W 1080s or 200W 1070s. 

Ok, wow  Never thought about this, thanks for the info

Go the 1070 because on air cooling this makes much, much more sense.

On air ? If i'm going for a beefy cooler with 3 fans, how much sense is making 980 ti now ? Talking about the Strix Cooler for 980 Ti, not the new one , but the older.

@Roman848 keep in mind the VRAM, I play in 1440p at 1.25 resolution scale and in some of my PC games (Squad) I can use around 10GB VRAM.

If your playing and staying at 1080p then it's a non issue but you may find the 6gB VRAM becomes an issue, App dependant.

 

I got my 1080ti mostly for the VRAM as I do alot of VR stuff as well.

Yeah , i have basic 1080p 60HZ panel, so i'm aiming for 60 fps at best, which 1070 and 980 ti can do on 1440p no problem. Biggest issue is the price difference. 110 USD is a big difference in my opinion.

Go for 1070 lower power needed , better temperatures then 980 ti , a little bit better performance

I will see, if the cost of 1070 rise up again i will go with 980 Ti.

But Thanks for the opinion.

Personally I would go with the new 1070 - 2GB more VRAM and its new, latest generation.

 

The 980ti is still a great card of course, and out performs the 1070 in some situations, but it does use more power.

 

Power is not and issue, still have Cooler Master G550M PSU, which i think is not bad.

Do the game you play make use of any software improvements that come with the 10-series? I tend to upgrade when a significant Direct X or opengl twists my arm. I dont think the 10-series nvidia has this. I doubt it but i might be wrong.

Only gaming, sometimes video rendering or editing, but not much. Sometimes virtualization, but that is not gpu intensive at all.

3 minutes ago, GER_T4IGA said:

The 980 To will be hotter/louder and at best just as fast. I would get the 1070 since it is also new and covered by warranty.

Someone suggested the G1 in here. Stay away from.it. The cooler is absolut trash. 

I was suggesting, because i have g1 gaming GTX 960 4gb version and it's the best gpu cooler i had.

Just now, RollinLower said:

get the 980Ti. performance is so close, and that price difference really is big!

 

i had a ASUS 980Ti on watercooling that pulled ahead of some founders edition 1070's when overclocked

I know that in some cases 980 Ti outperforms 1070, i will definitely have something on air though, maybe Strix or G1 Gaming models.

Question really is, if its worth to invest in something that is generation old or buy a 10-series GPU.?

Hey guys,

I have a deal on gtx 980 ti for 411 USD used. New gtx 1070 costs 525 USD. 

I'm here wondering, which one should i go with ?

(I'm from Czech Republic, so these prices are pretty much normal or slightly less than normal.

So, i have HP Envy 15 j000ec

Recently i did encounter a problem with my monitor, whenever notebook displays something grey or dark, i could see blinking, so i took apart whole notebook.

(thought to myself that i could be only badly connected flex cablen in mobo and the display itself).

When i did assembled it back, this is what happened.

Weird. when i push on the place where the cable to monitor is connected everything is fine only the blinking occurs.

(Flash drive on the place where the cable is connected.)

So, is this bad panel ? Or do i need to change the cable that is connecting motherboard to monitor ? (Flex cable)

2 Days ago someone made a topic about this problem, what type of cooler do your card have ? (I mean what brand , if it is EVGA or MSI)

is there any solution without reinstalling windows bro? its take a lot of time

You should try it before trying this...

On the EVGA forum, this issue is known as "100% fan blackscreen" issue. It's a VRM issue that only RMA can fix.

 

I suspect gigabyte cards have the same issue, do research on gigabyte forum. You may have to RMA your card.

I think it's better to try just to reinstall Windows than RMA the card...

Anyone have any other ideas

I had this kind of underperformance on gtx 960 , in the background there was running some application that was taking a load from gpu (some mining software or smthing).Found it it by opening msi afterburner and looking at statistics what is gpu doing. Try to download some anti malware softwares. Try to run some benchmark programs, see if you have a worse scores than people on forums.

Considering this was a thread about just a GPU I say no.

Going for 4K will leave him having to upgrade again 1-2 years since 1080ti just hits 60FPS today.

As i said, if he has the budget...

I don't want to stress the PCB, I can't afford breaking it. But if the rest of the card gets straightened then the PCB would surely follow suit... Ahh... I really wanted to avoid taking the card apart. Guess I either stick with getting frustrated about it or get into it.

Sagging is not good either, so it could end up damaged. Bought GTX 960 G1 Gaming a while ago, pretty beefy cooler, it was sagging too, i bought a case where the motheboard is positioned horizontally.

That's why I don't recommend play ing at 4k just yet.

When I played games at 4K, no matter which settings I used it didn't feel right.

Things didn't look right, some things scaled wrong and lots more. Even when I downscaled to 1080p things got messed up.

Was not a very satisfying experience.

4K isn't ready for every eSport game, so here is what he will be doing on that system, if he is going to play AAA Titles, why not go 4k if he has the budget.

So as a conclusion I should take that I have bought a wrong CPU and Monitor and I shouldn't go with Graphics more that 1070. 

Cpu is Ok-ish, but if you wanna play on 1080p you dont need 1080. GTX 1070 is still overkill ,but in coming years, it should fit perferctly to 1080p. If you want to have 1080, you should consider having 1440p monitor.

Like he said:
"HUD scale and chat scale are set to 100 (the highest) in these screenshots"

Yeah, i see what you mean, even if the minimap and the UI is relatively normal size, the mouse and the nametag with healthbar isn't. But that's not the only game that suffers from these type of problems.
