Posted December 6, 2016 I was planning to buy an nvidia 1070 this month but after the benchmark leaks of the supposedly new AMD GPU I'm skeptical. It'd be good to have a new GPU for Christmas but now I don't know if the the new AMD card worth the wait. What are you guys suggesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 6, 2016 Unless you really need the performance now, I'd recommend waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I personally probably would go with the 1070 but I am not you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 6, 2016 Author Well, i have an HD 7950 boost atm. I'm having trouble max out new games with it at 1080p with 60fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 6, 2016 I'd say wait, that is if you can play the games you want to fairly well, that way at least things will be cheaper, or you'll know the exact specs/reviews of the new card. But, me saying that... I don't like waiting and I probably wouldn't follow my own advice haha.

I was all excited to play some games during Christmas with my new GPU. Lets hope for some early release from AMD but I'm afraid that will not happen this year.

Posted December 6, 2016 Author My biggest disappointment would be if the new AMD card is a double kernel one. The tdp is really important for me as is my electrical bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
