Gtx 1080 @ 1440p

[DutchTexan]

Is it better to get a 1070 or 1080 at 2k resolution? I'm sure a 1070 will be okay, but would a 1080 be worth it? Or is a 1080 overkill for 1440p?

 

Assuming I purchase a 144 hertz g sync monitor.

If you get a 144hz GSync monitor and you can afford a 1080, grab it as it's gonna last you longer and it's worth it. With the 1070 you should expect 980Ti-like performance, if that satisfies you, get the 1070.

1080 would be the best for 1440 p 144hz. 1070 might be able to withstand it, but next years games might challenge it a bit too hard at that resolution and refresh rate.

if you have the money i say i would go for the 1080

[Hunched]

I don't see the point in ever getting an xx80 card. I'd just wait for the 1080 Ti which will almost certainly give Titan X performance as always for way cheaper.

 

With how Nvidia is doing things, you should only really ever get an xx70 or xx80 Ti

xx80 non-Ti is just how they get money from impatient people.

 

For example, everyone who bought a 980 for full price made a mistake.

i bought a 980 what mistake did i make?

Getting way worse performance/fps per dollar than the 970 and 980 Ti offer, assuming you paid full price.

Any proof at all that Nvidia actually plan to release a Ti this time? AMD don't have 490 ready yet so... Nvidia have no reason to release a Ti.

490 doesn't compete with the Ti's... 490, if like the 390, will compete with the 1070...

They always release a Ti, I know this because they are a business and like to make money by releasing new products.

 

What reason did they have to release the new Titan X by your logic? AMD put nothing out for them to do that, but they did...

They did like a week ago.

That's also something I have been waiting for, Rx 490. 

 

The he way I understand it the 1080 is 20% more performance for 50% more cost. Is that accurate, roughly?

What would a 1080 ti run for? Like $800?

Nope, there is no "Fury" line of cards this time round. 490 will be AMD's top single GPU card.

Probably. Maybe $750.

The 1080 is currently $599 for the cheapest, I expect the 1080 Ti to be at least $150 more than whatever the 1080 is at.

If like last gen, it should give Titan X performance, which costs $1200.

 

Everyone here likes to act like things are a complete mystery, but even Linus and Luke joke about how they can practically review cards before they're released.

These things are like clockwork, it's the same thing year after year, everyone knows basically exactly what to expect if they're paying attention.

Nvidia has been doing the same release scheme for years and it doesn't look like they're about the magically change everything they've been doing.

Essentially, the 1070 trades blows with the 980 Ti and the 1080 is around 15-20 FPS better in benchmarks. RX490 from rumours will be the first consumer card with HBM2, this is the tech that BOTH companies will be using after this year, meaning it'll probably be a good card and force Nvidia to drop a Ti. Until then I highly doubt Nvidia would bother.

Just because it's their top card doesn't mean it's 1080 Ti level, lets not be retarded.

That means they have nothing between the GTX 1060 and GTX 1080 Ti...

So if I were to buy a 1080ti then I might as well buy a 4K monitor instead of a 1440p?

I was originally considering a 1070, but now I suppose I will wait for the 1080ti or the 490 and then buy an according monitor.

 

or just go with a 1070 depending on the period of time. I have all the parts on the way for my build minus a HDD, GPU and monitor

There is no Ti to compare it to... if AMD release a card that beats the 1080 and is cheaper THEN Nvidia will drop a Ti. However I don't see how they could to be perfectly honest. Everybody is hoping for a 1080 Ti but in reality... what specs would you give it?. The Titan X only has 12GB of GDDR5X and the 1080 has 8GB, what would you do, release a 1080 Ti with Titan X performance and 8GB of vRam? sounds pretty illogical to me.

Some say October with Zen others say early next year.

Depends what you're looking for. Could just go for 1440p 144hz+ instead as well.

The 1080 Ti will almost certainly trade blows with the new Titan X in games.

Nvidia will drop whatever they want regardless, they released the 980 Ti without AMD needing to push them to, and they just released the new Titan X a week ago without AMD doing anything....

 

The last Titan X had 12gb of VRAM and the last Ti had 6gb of VRAM, and you think them releasing a 1080 Ti with 8gb of VRAM is illogical?

Dude, have you just started paying attention to what Nvidia has been doing for the past 2 months or something?

Everything you're saying is kinda dumb.

All this shit has basically happened just a year or two ago.

 

The 980 Ti had the performance of the last Titan X with half the VRAM of it.

Literally nothing you're saying makes sense or has any past events to back it up.

"They released the 980 Ti without AMD needing to push them to"

Nvidia released the 980 Ti after AMD showed off the Fury line.... just saying. Also the Titan X was shown off at an education event it was basically like "hey, we're releasing this new card and it will power your work" AND it was totally rushed.

There have been two --80ti cards, EVER. The 780ti and the 980ti. How exactly is that, always?
