Nvidia GeForce GTX 1000 Series (Pascal) MegaThread: FAQ and Resources

[kinnecal]

This is the wrong place for help. Make another thread and I'll allow you to post a link to it in here.

These Megathreads need to stay mostly on topic.

The problem is that no one is helping out in the thread I created and so I came here in search of help but alright.

If anyone can help me my thread is here My Thread

Hi every one. Im about to buy an gtx 1070. Wich one is the best ? I'd like the evga ftw..

 

[Math Geek]

no best really. they all are about the same. grab the one that looks good to you and is the right price, assuming you can even find one in a store.

none have stood out as better than the rest. nvidia has limited them too much for any one to get ahead of the others. the ftw is a solid card and not that expensive compared to some of the others.

Okey! thank you math 😀

i wash half tempted to last night to get the asus strix. I know i could find cheaper. but i wanted to keep the asus theme going with my monitor and motherboard. also the rgbs are pretty dope and i love the 3 fan system. will keep my eye for maybe holiday sales ect.

 

[Thomas_115]

I am not that desprate to pay 1200$ or 2000$ for a card which will be for 600$ in few months. LoL, let the rich nerds have it first. I have no intentions to rush into it.

 

[renz496]

By the time volta arrive we could get 1080ti performance around or under $400 😀

Pretty cool performance comparison between overclocked 1070 vs overclocked 980 Ti.

I would have rather seen an overclocked comparison done with something besides a founders edition card. I think it also would have made more sense to do the comparisons at 1440p.

Makes the most sense to cover 1080, 1440 and 4k.

 

[Math Geek]

an oc'ed custom 1080 is not much better than a FE if at all.

gonna have to get used to the fact that what we saw in older cards is not true with these. read some reviews which are all linked on page 1 of this thread. no custom card stood out over the others and an oc'ed FE hits the same speeds and performance of the custom cards. true the custom cards are cooler and don't hit thermal limits like the FE but in the end one is not better than the other. so them testing a custom card over an FE would make maybe a couple fps difference if that much!!

nvidia has just limited it too much and the card just can't do any more with the current limits in place.

Uh oh. Users of the FE edition 1070/1080 cards who have those Korean knockoff 1440p monitors overclocked higher than 81Hz are having major issues if using DVI-D cables (what many of those monitors only offer for input). Not sure how Nvidia will handle this considering that those monitors are not being used within their factory specs to begin with.

I don't think Nvidia can possibly test all scenarios that aren't "official" supported by the monitor manufacturers. As one who briefly had a Crossover 1440p and overclocked it to 90Hz (before the board crapped out), I can see both sides of the argument.

Is it even Nvidia's fault or problem really? The owners of the monitors made their choices and then did what are technically out of spec modifications to them.

It's a simple fix to either lower the refresh rate to 80Hz or use a DisplayPort cable.

Yeah but it's going to be exactly like what we have now most likely. A GTX 1170 will probably be a tad quicker than a GTX 1080 Ti.

If it is still slower than a 1080 ti, then the GTX 1080 TI will NOT have a price drop.

First 980 Ti in the UK under £400.

Asus still trying their luck, or trying to rip us off, depending how you look at it. £490 for the Strix 980 Ti.

[ern88]

I was going to get 2 x RX 480's and crossfire. But now I think I will be better off with a GTX 1070 non FE card and a 1440p 144 hz monitor non Gsync since it cost an extra $200.

http://geizhals.eu/?cat=gra16_512&asd=on&asuch=gtx980ti

lots of options for under €440, which is even less than amazon.uk offers

if the 480 doesn't turn out to be the jesus of gpus then a price reduced 980ti might be the cake that, surprisingly, isn't a lie

Especially if you think that you will soon get 2x980ti for the price of one 1080. 20% less performance for 50% of the price? yesplease

I agree, all 1080's are good and it basically comes down to the silicon lottery. Even the Silicon lottery winners will only get a few more fps more..

 

[turkey3_scratch]

All this talk of lottery reminds me of my childhood favorite lottery theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9DJRhRuG3o&list=PL50AAD8692FEB1043&index=39

Jokes aside, I would still prefer an aftermarket card to the Founder's Edition. I like the features of the Asus Strix, for example. Fan headers on the card, controllable RGB LEDs that can even react to things like temperature of the card, and more power phases. In addition, a different cooler.

 

[Math Geek]

i prefer the custom cards myself, especially with the price premium for the FE. a custom card will oc the same but will remain cooler and quieter than an FE for sure. no debate there

Wonder if it will delay the 1060, hope not I want to see how they can match the RX series at a similar price and hopefully force prices down for us all. Thats assuming the RXs are as good as rumours.
